@taiwan_girl Thank you.

Problem is, maybe there's not much the government can do...Because of the financial response to COVID in many first world nations, inflation was guaranteed.

You've never been to Austin, have you Ax?

Pretty song

Wow Horace! Sending hugs and positive thoughts to you!!!

Wow. Interesting story.

@LuFins-Dad said in They are subjects and they like it that way.: @Aqua-Letifer said in They are subjects and they like it that way.: We don’t obey in this country. How many of you know someone who died needlessly from COVID because of ignorant 'Murrican values? Fuck this guy. From the morons who invoke their "rights" to eat dewormer paste and get deathly ill instead of get a damn shot to the morons who invoke their "rights" to have safe spaces and get co-workers fired because they consider height a micro-aggression, we don't need any more rights in America. We're children run amok and breaking shit in Pier One because our parents have a soft touch. We need responsibilities, personal and social. Show me what you're doing to practice responsible citizenship out there in the world. If you are, please double down, because we have a shortage. If all you're doing is demanding your "rights" be honored, shove your exceptionalism and your rights firmly up your ass. I’ve always felt that way too many Americans focus on “rights” and I have long championed a “Bill of Responsibilities” to temper people’s perceived “rights”. I hear ideas like that from a whole lot of people who only mention it after I bring it up first. Just sayin'.

@Renauda said in Unclear on the Nazis: @Aqua-Letifer said in Unclear on the Nazis: Hank Miller. The Sin City guy? What the hell does he have to do with any of this? I mixed him up with another guy, Heinrich Mueller. Sorry. Miller Mueller what’s the difference?

@Axtremus said in Don't teach uncomfortable things: https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/02/19/colleges-critical-race-theory-bills/ On Monday, the Faculty Council of the University of Texas at Austin approved, on a 41-to-5 vote with three abstentions, a resolution rejecting “any attempts by bodies external to the faculty to restrict or dictate the content of university curriculum on any matter, including matters related to racial and social justice.” The resolution said the council will “stand firm against any and all encroachment” on faculty authority, including by the legislature. It would be better if leftists weren't so racist.

@Jolly Okay, I assumed you were referring to farm exports into Upper and Lower Canada. Seemed a bit off, being that both colonies were more than self sustaining in agriculture. Farm exports to Britain and Ireland, yes of course.

@Mik said in US warns Ukraine invasion may be imminent. Ukraine disagrees.: Looks like brinksmanship, but it's hard to say. The opportunity for misperception here is huge. Seems to be a marked increase in artillery and mortar exchanges since the closing ceremonies of the Olympics. Provocations? Possibly.

I am guessing “one short of assiNINE.”

I refer you back to the article.

Elsewhere Tamara Lich, one of the convoy organizers, appeared for a bail hearing in an Ottawa courtroom before Ontario Court Justice Julie Bourgeois. No publication ban was requested in the proceeding. Lich faces a charge of counselling to commit mischief. She promised to give up her advocacy of the protest and return to Alberta, leaving Ottawa by vehicle. She told the judge she doesn’t have the required vaccine passport to travel by commercial air and her bank accounts are now frozen. She pledged a $5,000 bond, saying that was all she could afford, while her husband, Wayne, promised the same amount. Under cross examination, Wayne Lich told the court that he flew to Ottawa on a private jet to meet his wife in early February. The $5,000 bill was paid for by a man he hardly knew. He also questioned whether the Emergencies Act was invoked unlawfully by the current Liberal government, saying that people’s right to protest in Canada “was part of our first amendments.” Bourgeois interjected: “First amendment? What’s that?” Lich said he didn’t follow politics, and just wanted to make sure his wife was safe. The judge reserved her bail decision on Lich. She will return to jail until a court appearance on Tuesday morning.. https://www.thestar.com/politics/2022/02/19/massive-police-action-continuing-in-ottawa-to-end-occupation.html

@Mik said in No helmets in Seattle: Is it conceivable that black and homeless are most often cited because they most often break that law? The article says that blacks are 4X more likely to be cited.
