High Plains Drifter

Pretty much what he did last year when they started howling when he claimed they wanted to cut social security. "Good, I'm glad we all agree, social security is off the table."

updates are saying old man has been arrested. Days later.

is it even illegal is you're white?

According the article linked below, NY City has had some success with Housing AND Treatment (drug or mental health or both), which for some reason is incorrectly called "Housing First". Success being defined as getting a large (not all) number of homeless off the streets. Yes, it is expensive, requires caseworkers, social workers, etc. But when done right, it does seem to work. One thing it does not do is force homeless people to into the program against their will. And if every NYC homeless person did willingly enter the program, it would be vastly inadequate. Funding seems to be a mix of city, state, corporate, and federal, along with a lot of volunteer work. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/09/18/a-journey-from-homelessness-to-a-room-of-ones-own Warning: Long read of a complex problem. I found these snippets interesting (bolded is mine: This strategy, known as “housing first,” was pioneered in New York, in the early nineteen-nineties, by Sam Tsemberis, a psychologist whose organization, Pathways to Housing, began renting apartments for homeless people with mental-health diagnoses and delivering medical and psychiatric services to them at their new residences—debunking the prevailing belief that people could not remain stably housed without having first undergone treatment. Study after study showed Tsemberis’s approach to be far more successful than requiring treatment in advance. Housing first became a federal policy in the United States with passage of the HEARTH Act, in 2009, though advocates say that its implementation is spotty. ... New York State has the second-highest number of homeless people in the nation (largely living in New York City) after California, but whereas almost seventy per cent of California’s homeless live on the street (a sizable portion in vehicles), fewer than six per cent of New York’s do, making homelessness far less visible here. Many factors account for this disparity, chief among them the fact that New York City is the only municipality in America to guarantee a legal right to shelter for individuals and families—the result of court-approved agreements between advocates and the city that date back to the nineteen-eighties. (Massachusetts has a right to shelter for families.) Research disproves the notion that homeless people migrate to the West Coast for the weather; rather, a comparative paucity of shelter beds likely explains the more overt presence of homelessness there. Anyway, if you really give a shit about homelessness and the drug addiction that goes with it, you should read the article.

From Higgy's link: Prosecutors argued that the parents did not secure the gun or limit their son's access to it. If this is true, then I agree with the guilty verdict, regardless of any other circumstances. Fuck em.

good. fuck him.

According to her, its also nice not having to depose witnesses.

No he's not. Vast majority of those Haley voters will vote for him in the general.

Nice rant. You think it'll change the minds of the ones voting "uncommitted"? Hint: It won't.

pos repped from my wife, who agrees 1000%.

so they do their own road maintenance, fire dept, police dept? Seems like at a smaller scale, those things would be more expensive. What am I missing?

So, honest question here, just curious: what are the pros (for those in Lost Creek) to be disannexed? Pos repped just because of all the cunts that negged it.

OK, so asking for all those weed smoking teens... is weed ever laced with fentanyl? If so, is smoking fentanyl as bad as ingesting?

That's a bold statement.

I think in order to maximize battery life, its best not to go below 20% or charge above 80%. Battery should work the same no matter how much charge it has, unless it gets really really low (<~5%). But yeah, charging stations are out there, you just don't see them because they aren't advertised on giant signs like gas stations usually are.

Man, if ever there were a time for a giant sinkhole....

You will be drug into the future, kicking and screaming if need be.

just yanking your chain. I agree its probably not a good idea to have a bus stop on a median divided road.

humbly?

The fact that he isn't going to lose by tens of millions is an indictment of our country.
