FEDIT POLITICS Thread

Has anyone read about the reason the weather is so volatile according to the Inuit?
I know it's not political or even arguable, really, but they say it is due not to global warming or whatever label we put on the causitive factor.
They say the earth has moved...shifted on it's axis.
Interesting.
I think the Mayans held the same or similar beliefs and the Hopi.

 

Yeah. That's it.
Guess it's more valuable as political tennis ball, rather than examine that path. For some.
Oh well.

 

The world is a vampire

 

homo?

 

i'm not blaming him for it but he's not including it in the rosy picture
if you can just say the other stuff is a whole lot of nothing...ok we can still be friends but really?
to me it totally insane and its not select business owners
talk to ANYONE you know who owns a business

 

who is rick scott? and people saying something should be banned and violently shutting it down are just slightly different
i think we agree more than we disagree about a lot of things and i don't say the right is without fault
in fact i truly hate those motherfuckers with equal zeal
screaming and rioting isn't going to work and thats coming from one side as far as i can tell
any conversation i ever have w a sane person not committed to one side or the other always ends in the middle

 

at the moment it is definitely a left thing and i find it hilarious that its being exposed
we will never agree but i enjoy debating it with you mouse
i appreciate your mind and your opinions and so i am going to ask you a serious question that has nothing to do with politics and anyone else who wants can join in
the thing that is really troubling to me is people laying at my feet on the street wherever i go
i want to try to form something real and direct to change even a few lives
not a charity with a big overhead but an actual lifeline that gets every penny to people who are completely devastated and alone
if you could do something like that what would you do?

 

Brown was trying to clean up a mess he helped create when he signed an executive order in 1978 which instituted union shop collective bargaining for public sector union jobs.

Unions have become the most powerful political voice in our state ever since.

 

I don't mean to come off as brash so I apologize if i have. Don't wanna sever any relationships here due to differing political ideologies lol

I understand you're a business owner so I see where you're coming from. But that just goes with living in the most desired state in the country. Any business in any field is gonna be taxed heavily and be prone to many regulations. Mainly because California needs to generate the money somehow to fund all these programs. Programs that I'm sure you personally want no part in funding. Would tax breaks and less regulations work here? Very doubtful. but businesses are welcome to relocate and many have. But at the end of the day these things aren't enough and people are willing to pay the luxury to live here

 

nowhere close to severing anything and again it goes waaaaay beyond heavily taxed or over regulated
i am all for helping people in need but the system is being abused big time
and there is no checks or balances going the opposite direction
i know personally of people using 4 or 5 different ssn to receive 5 times the benes is that fair? do you think thats an anomaly?
is there any system in place to expose this fraud?
if you own a business in orange county or sfv you have almost certainly been audited at least once if not more
they don't find they made a mistake btw its always a fine plus penalties and they put you on a payment plan as if you don't have enough bills
its a straight rip off from the strong arm of the state but yeah its the price of doing business here
visit a state board office and see the bullet proof glass and guards w guns and tell me what time it is
and yet if you have a business south of the 10 in downtown you don't even have to ask people for tax money unless you want the extra 10%
they don't even pretend to enforce the laws on sales tax in downtown
i have intentionally stopped selling anything to avoid these thieves and like i said its not a sexy or unusual story
every business owner has been shaken down
just ask one
but all of us are rich right?
thats exactly what the state thinks and why you have far fewer choices to shop
its nearly impossible to survive here
look around you at any of the bland street corners in every city
its a liquor store, a foot massage, a chinese restaurant, a dry cleaner and a 7/11
and the restaurant and dry cleaner is about to change hands or close doors
also notice that there is little to no one employed and the owner is who you are talking to

We will have to agree to disagree on this... I'm not sure if what we were debating is even all that important in the big picture, but of course I'm right

I've heard you talk before about wanting to help people, in particular homeless or people completely down. What would I do? The short, honest answer: I have absolutely no idea. A possible place to start could be to see what is already out there, and if there is something you can do to help. Maybe check with local churches? That might be too close to the bigger charity thing you want to avoid. If you want to start something yourself, you probably first want to decide on a goal - for example, is the goal to help people get back on their feet? Or is the goal to just make them feel more comfortable? And after that, is there anything special you can bring to the table? I don't know what kind of health, psychology, welfare, job placement programs are already out there, but if there are things available, helping people connect with the services they can utilize could be tremendous. Food and shelter programs and anything that help with basic needs are good, but maybe what would make some of these people's day is something else, like a 5-minute conversation and a clean pair of socks. You could try talking to some of the people you want to help to get a sense of what they would value. Also, I think you have to be ok with getting burned... Get burned enough and it's probably a sign that you aren't on the right track, but getting burned once in a while might be justifiable if you are truly helping others. Either way, you never want to get down on yourself for trying to do something good. I hope I've said something useful in my rambling, but like I said, I really don't know what I would do.
