  • My apologies, I submitted a comment regarding that elsewhere. By slashing their budget, I meant to say: divert it to other positions like to social workers so issues with mental health crises wouldn’t introduce excessive force. I think police really should be focused on the Public Servant part.

    Probably some combination of:

    • Require them to have a 4 year degree
    • No qualified immunity
    • Make them also liable to civil suits
    • Heavily slash their budget
    • Disarm all of them, save maybe for SWAT
    • much, much better descalation training (pretty sure they’re trained to escalate immediately)














  • In the article, the owner using it says he only decreases price while you shop, since having increases during shopping would push customers away, and he’s absolutely right it would. So price increases would only happen overnight/closed hours. The owner talks about competing his low prices with competitors so it can be a race to the bottom. But I doubt most companies would use the pricing this way, most likely there will be surge pricing during weekends and after work.



  • Agreed. This is a terrible take. Is basically implying “both sides are the same”, a staple in the ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM group but they’re not. Blue side wants to maintain the status quo and maybe, very slightly, make light progressive changes (but again very small changes) while red side is trying to destroy social safety nets (cutting socials security), women’s autonomy (roe vs wade and more) and democracy itself (Jan 6). That’s not to mention that Republicans for the most part built their ideology based off hate. Their drive comes from reactionary outrage.
