retired boomers went and volunteered at chain restaurants
Source on this? This sounds insane
Yea the picture is not related at all. Elder care is bleeding their money dry, they're not choosing to spend it on lavish vacations.
Once you get to a point where you run out of insurance and health savings, you have to go to Medicaid, which will take your house and the rest of your savings after you die. (And if you try to give your house to your child before you die, unless you do it 5 years before enrolling in medicaid you will get a huge delay in services)
Exactly, complain about the terrorism charge, not the red herring that is "he has the possibility of potentially being charged with the death penalty (as compared to a random other type of shooting?), when that's something that is a blanket standard possibility for federal murder -- A bank robber is probably not as evil as some mass shooters, but one is more eligible for the death penalty, while the mass shooter depends on the state they're in.
The addition of federal murder and stalking charges is critical. The fact that he will have to be trailed twice for one murder seems excessive
we should see nearly every shooter who faces justice getting the death penalty
I'm not sure what you mean by this, is this what you believe? I should add that the death penalty is rare to end up being sentenced and that it isn't justified in every case as well.
I'm saying that the death penalty is already rare, then you need to be at least 18, you need to survive the shooting, and then you need to have a jury mostly unanimously agree to sentence you
Also it's not like Mangione has been sentenced with the death penalty, these articles are reacting to the possibility of facing charges that could lead to the death penalty, which has been applicable for any other first-degree murder cases, for example killing a single person during a bank robbery
I'm just saying that the comparison is pointless. Complain about him receiving federal charges unusually, sure. But doing this "whataboutism" and referencing school shooters vs the UHC shooter is not well-founded
The reporting that the guy stabbing is a copycat crime is 100% promoted from the media. He's some random dude that stabbed his boss. I believe that some are trying to group him into the same category as the UHC shooter, random stuff like this probably happens every day.
People keep parroting this statement. I'm so confused because it does not hold up to any scrutiny.
If you think for 5 seconds, school shooters aren't charged with the death penalty because they overwhelmingly kill themselves or die during the shooting. They are also usually children, which might get them more lenient sentences.
This type of surface level logic just makes the supporting side look bad. There are far better comparisons to draw from
I mean that would definitely get an 18 rating, I'm not sure what you are meaning to say
I looked up astronaut pay and it says it's between $100-180,000. Somewhat depressing that people can make more sitting in their house writing code working remote than someone who is risking their life on space missions. I guess you do get food and housing paid for that whole time, but wow.
And electric car parts. It's an engineering / machining company, you would be very hard pressed to find any companies like it that don't work with the largest source of funding in the world
This isn't :(
I understand that we are angry, BUT we know nothing about this guy -- the company seems like a small niche manufacturing business. The guy isn't some super elite C-suite executive, he's just a high-level manager/director. Maybe he was an asshole. Don't know if he is guilty of anything though
The reasoning in question:
This game teaches - by way of images, information and gameplay - skills and knowledge that are used in poker. During gameplay, the player is rewarded with ‘chips’ for playing certain hands. The player is able to access a list of poker hand names. As the player hovers over these poker hands, the game explains what types of cards the player would need in order to play certain hands. As the game goes on, the player becomes increasingly familiar with which hands would earn more points. Because these are hands that exist in the real world, this knowledge and skill could be transferred to a real-life game of poker
So, this game teaches skills and knowledge that are used in poker. The skills in knowledge are limited to... playing and making poker hands. That's it. Also, "as the game goes on, the player becomes increasingly familiar with which hands would earn more points" -- is hilariously funny. The idea that knowledge of what a poker hand is is anything related to the dangers of gambling is ridiculous.
well 1. he could be defended legally -- it's still not certain that he is even the shooter. The police and media have worked together and released lots of information on their side framing him as the criminal, but -- not unlike https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Jewell -- trial by media is not a verdict. Does the evidence hold up? All we have seen are pictures of the person of interest, pictures of Luigi, and statements that certain items were received. Without actual footage of the scenario, testimony, etc. it's totally possible that things aren't what they seem.
No, you see, America is bigger so it won't work for some reason
