Drive by shooting in Chicago’s south side, obviously the first thing that comes to mind is… Trump?

There are different failure modes, yeah. My preference would be a mechanical combination lock, or just have a key stashed.

My aunt got locked out of her house because the battery powered smart lock died in the cold. So she couldn’t get in when it was late at night and freezing cold. Had to get a locksmith out, which probably cost her a couple hundred dollars.

Maybe they should do more research into what to do about it, since they know that it’s going to be a bigger issue.

Climate change is turning into a scapegoat for everything. We’ve been talking about it for my whole life now, so how are people still using it as an excuse?

How badly do you want that to be true versus how much the evidence actually suggests it to be true

This is standard procedure for politicians and their friends. Acting like it’s just Trump allows the issue to resume after he is gone.

I appreciate the comprehensive take. So tired of people claiming to know which sources are biased and which aren’t, acting as though they are somehow immune to it while everyone who disagrees with them is subject to it. And you are right, there is no great solution except that news needs to be as decentralized as possible, from many independent sources.

That’s not what I said

I’ve only seen better benefits, pay, and protections over the last 20 years. Not sure what to say.

Worker benefits are better than they were 10 years ago, and way better than 20 years ago. Wages have gone up, and keeping pace with inflation with varying degrees of success over the years. People work less than they used to is what I’m saying. I work less than my parents did and I think it’s a good thing. But the economy will slow down because of it.

You can’t compete with a nation that doesn’t feel bad about exploitation of workers. If the workers cooperate then you can get a crazy amount of productivity out of them. The united states is losing its power because we aren’t willing to work as we used to. It’s a tradeoff, but I’m fine with it except that I’m not sure I trust China/Xi Jinping as the world’s superpower. He eliminated term limits when he took power, and I’m sure has no intention of going anywhere for a long time. Everyone so busy celebrating Trump looking bad, but forgetting that it could be and will be a lot worse for the western world under a Chinese dictator.

Yes, please screw the entire world economy and use it to fund global jihad. As long as it embarrasses Donald Trump then it’s worth it.

Probably Christianity

I reserve my dislike for people who feel obligated to express their petty and useless opinions, but you do you.

Has anyone recommended therapy for Iran’s leaders? Maybe that would stop them from violently oppressing their people, since War obviously isn’t working.

Yes but it’s still weird going to bat for Iran, an objectively worse country in every way. The blood of thousands of their own citizens spilled at their own hand hasn’t even cooled yet, and somehow people are making them out to be the good guys.

That makes more sense

I was curious why they didn’t mention Israel or Lebanon and so I read the article and concluded that it’s because it’s not about Israel or Lebanon.

Blows my mind that people cheer on Iran. Is it just a simple, anti trump, anti Israel reaction?
