  • someone well known as him he deserves special treatment

    Kanye wouldn’t be this crazy if he wasn’t famous, so it’s not really special treatment.

    The constant positive reinforcement no matter what just makes them go crazier.

    Like, “pushing the envelope” isn’t sustainable, eventually you get to the point where you’re only paying attention to topping yourself, it’s not “is this better?” anymore its just “is this crazier?”

    It apparently doesn’t take long till you’re throwing swastikas on everything just to get people to notice.

    Most people grow out of that shit. But Kanye got paid insane amounts of money to act like that, he’s going to keep doing until it stops working.

    LGBT has always been a target.

    The “good guys” still (chemically) castrated one of their greatest minds that won the war for ten, just because he happened to like dicks.

    Theres a reason people wanted to reduce the victims of the Holocaust to just being Jewish and ignored all the other groups that both sides wanted to persacute.

    They did the same thing this time, target LGBT to build the movement and are now expanded to other groups.

    Hopefully everyone stands up while we still have the numbers, otherwise they’ll keep chipping away fringe groups.

    Too fast, too furious…

    https://www.cnn.com/2013/08/27/world/americas/operation-fast-and-furious-fast-facts/index.html

    The craziest thing cartels buying guns in America and smuggling them into Mexico isnt that the US government was selling to people they thought were smugglers.

    It’s that the people at the gun store are doing the same shit people are doing all over the place.

    The used gun market is insane, I know a couple people that constantly buy new guns and sell them less than a year later. They don’t question why some person is willing to buy $200 over new price for a used gun.

    And the way the law is structured, that’s in their best interest.

    If a random person walks up and asks to buy a gun, you don’t have to ask any other questions as a “private seller” and since you can only get in trouble if you know that person can’t own a gun, the less questions the better.

    The “private sale” loophole makes every other gun law just a slight hassle to get around. But no one wants to actually close it.

    Edit:

    It also incentives those sales.

    No gun store will pay as much as someone who can’t buy from a gun store.

    So to make sure someone ends up with that can legally have it, the seller loses money.




  • Nah, after probation it’s pretty much impossible.

    There needs to be like a year of documentation that the employee is just not doing their job.

    Because of the union.

    That’s why there’s this big push to resign, every tool they have to reduce the federal workforce begins with the word “voluntary”. Probate employees and contracts have reason to be nervous tho.

    Even closing USAID, it stops the work they’re doing, but they’re all gonna get huge severance checks or settlements if it really closes. It’s not like the private sector where it’s individuals fighting a billion dollar corparion. It’s multiple unions that are individually some of the largest in the country whose only reason for existence is knowing an incredibly confusing system of decades of regulations…

    Versus a couple teenager and college drop out techbros with zero idea what they’re doing.
