Yeah I just can't help but think of all that sweet sweet money that we absolutely used to get by charging the rich assholes being bad with their fancy toy cars to the point of it being the main funding force for police for decades and wonder....

Why not take?

pathetic people who would means test their own kids before they gave them food and shelter if it was socially acceptable.

Ahh... I see you have met my dad, who decided only after I called him after having failed my suicide attempt to offer to take me back in after having kicked me out promptly at 18 and then only housed me for 2 months before driving me out to a random street corner and dropping me off saying he had lifted me back up enough for me to handle my own live because I was ruining his "vibe" while having a 3 bedroom house and a job that makes more than half a million a year.

A man who wouldn't let me get a drivers license because I wasn't allowed to touch one of his cars and needed to buy one on my own and figure out how to do it by 16 despite his first 3 cars being bought for him by his parents after he wrecked each previous one.

Americans are the worst culture. Truly fucking despicable what they think is sane. You only get to buy how you want to be treated and the threshold for the floor of basic human dignity is more than most of us can afford.

Can we just go back to having a legitimate conductor who also has a protected union job that is properly staffed so that they can do occasional walks through the train to be able to offer ticketing services that allow for rapid and mass transit for the masses that connect us in a way that allows for fucking easy travel.

Please! Or can we at least stop treating trains like an old existing extension of the singularly for profit monopolies paid by the government they were and just straight up have been allowed to become again!

.... So what like a shitty laptop from 2009, a broadband connection and a full bottle of vodka as pay?

Oh man group think is really bad on Lemmy. If you are being downvoted you must have deserved it and the downvotea keep coming and upvoted means right and so upvoted. It's all initial inertia.

Echo chambers work really fast here I have found.

And there you go just putting emphasis on that. As if you can forceably simplify the issue to racism.

Whatever. I called you out. Any further growth is on you.

Good use of buzzwords there. Could hear the Trump in your brain. Best words.

Oh man and we wonder why the liberal arguments aren't winning over struggling low class Americans in suburban towns.

Yeah, I understand you don't give a shit, that's my point.
You don't even care to deal with the actual story and meat of an issue before hand waving it away and blaming racism that makes you feel superior while having done nothing not even think about the actual people involved.

It makes you useless as even an empathetic ear which is bare minimum people usually want.

You aren't superior for this stance.

I'm just not ignoring that over the course of 3 years the population increased by 30% from a specific demographic that are not permanent citizens. Being used as a labor force for companies that demanded new cheap labor.

Again you are simplifying this down in the same conversation they are simply because it's easier and more fun than the reality of what's going in Ohio. Its rumors started to take advantage of a legitimate concern that doesn't get simplified down to just people opening an ethnic cuisine restaurant because it's a nice way to reduce down your opponents idiocracy.

It just makes you willingly ignorant and dismissive and with an agenda like them.

I am seeing it. I'm just not ignoring that there is in fact an interesting base for all this in order to focus on the part the racists without policy are using to push their agenda and that the liberals are ignoring cause it's complicated and easier to focus on the racists attempt to use to belittle them without doing anything.

No it started with a hodunk town being stressed by its changing landscape that is putting stress on its local residents and the Haitians that are moving there creating a powder keg of stressed resources like housing, traffic and jobs, being used as a political tool.

I understand that people are using this to use to point at generalized black people and racism (just look at you) but there is a legitimate story and starting seed for this that starts before the pandering that is happening now.

Problems can exist before you see the smoke and the problem is not the smoke but the potential fire that somehow does seem to be ignored by everyone who'd rather talk around it.

Yeah, I find straight up abandoning your shit family is a not completely bad idea.

You'd be surprised at the jobs out there that simply let you get on a train or a boat and simply leave it all behind if you want to.

Just please then don't jump off the back of my boat. The point is that it might be lonelier than guaranteed family but ocean is a bad way to go.

Dude, I get this so much.

I love making food. I think it's delicious and maybe my photography skills aren't amazing but I will share it anyways.

Nope! Not allowed unless you make nearly fake looking food with a studio set up that makes me bet it's cold before they even take a bite and throw it away.

I got so much hate for posting a picture of god damn poutine that I truly think the food snobs deserve to starve.
