Polls: Society & Politics

I own a Class A RV. I am preparing it for evacuation if Kameltoe Harris wins and civil unrest begins or we are threatened by international conflict.

I just recently lost my job. My socialist sister just lost hers too (hopefully she learns her lesson on who to vote for next time). Plenty are losing jobs right now and we are in the midst of a tech recession. I don't know if I will be able to find work again anytime soon in my industry. I think we are going to see a lot of underemployed or unemployed tech workers. Luckily, I have enough savings to pay bills in the meantime.

We've all seen or soon will the latest questionable shooting death of a black person. Which raises to the head again... what should "black people" do when faced with an issue of police involvement?

One approach is to have alternate 911... which routes call to "Black designated" resources which are oncall, paid or volunteer... like volunteer ems, to handle their issues. These could be people voted on within such community... pastors, social workers, police... but trusted by them to handle domestic issues and other lower grade issues.

Granted... any situation can be dangerous. They have all the rights of citizens, but the trust of the community at large.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN ADDED COST, but may need your support to route calls and training. Very low cost.

Goal is to provide alternate for those whom fear police.

Non black people still have right to contact police at any time... as do black people.

APOLOGIES to non USA people but even foreigners know about this peculiarity!

In 1983 the FDA required Rx ads to include detailed information about side effects and contraindications, making TV ads cumbersome. In 1997, the FDA relaxed these rules, allowing drug makers to provide major risks and direct viewers to additional information sources, leading to a surge in direct-to-consumer advertising.

This decision remains highly controversial. Although prescription drug advertising receives significant First Amendment protection as commercial speech, carefully tailored regulations may be constitutionally permissible if they serve important government interests like protecting public health. However, broad bans face major legal obstacles.

Insults, candidates refusing to shake hands before and after debates, negative advertising out the wazoo. Partisan political talking heads all over the internet

A man in Southport of Rwandan (black/African) heritage committed an atrocity and fatally stabbed 3 young innocent girls.

Now there are riots on all ends of the country with far-rights attacking police, each other, burning buildings with immigrants housed by the government and damaging mosques.

It’s whites fighting whites which doesn’t make sense, there’s also far right people who are uneducated angry at people of colour for taking high paid jobs.

To some fanfare, Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign today launched Republicans for Harris, which will kick off with events this week in the swing states of Arizona, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. Their goal, campaign officials told Zeke Miller of the Associated Press, is to make it easier for Republican voters put off by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to back Democratic presidential nominee Harris. Curiously, though, in their embrace of the nation’s growing democratic coalition, Republicans crossing the aisle in 2024 are returning to their party’s origins.

The Republican Party itself began as a coalition that came together to stand against an oligarchy whose leaders were explicit about their determination to overthrow democracy. As wealth had accumulated in the hands of a small group of elite southern enslavers, those men had turned against American democracy. “I repudiate, as ridiculously absurd, that much-lauded but nowhere accredited dogma of Mr. Jefferson, that ‘all men are created equal,’” South Carolina senator James Henry Hammond said.

When Democrats tried to call those coming together as Republicans “radicals,” rising politician Abraham Lincoln turned the tables by standing firm on the Declaration of Independence. “[Y]ou say you are conservative—eminently conservative—while we are revolutionary, destructive, or something of the sort,” he said, addressing the Democrats who remained determined to base the United States in enslavement.

“What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried? We stick to, contend for, the identical old policy on the point in controversy which was adopted by ‘our fathers who framed the Government under which we live’; while you with one accord…spit upon that old policy, and insist upon substituting something new…. Not one of all your various plans can show a precedent or an advocate in the century within which our Government originated.”

There’s a few caveats here so expound as needed

The suggestion below would apply to some / most non-violent crimes,

Ankle monitor / halfway house, REAL EFFECTIVE STAFFED parole supervision, community service and monetary fines?

Perhaps mandatory labor in which they learn a trade (s) and must demonstrate apprentice, journeyman or mastery level to gain release?

Maybe mandatory education classes, counseling, emotional regulation techniques, psychological reconditioning, etc.

A national service program for non-violent offenders maybe running internships in their area if expertise on home release? Maybe an international program where they provide service and in steps work their way back home?

Just an aside. There are three things that should never be run for profit, prisons are one of them. Healthcare and education are the other two.

Im sure by now everyone knows whats going on in UK

Whos worse?

“The childless have no interest in the future of this country so should have less votes!”

My family is an even mix of differing political views, and we get along just fine as were adult enough to respect others political views.
