Gun control USA (lemmy.world)

Since people for guns in the USA keep saying it's to fight facism and corruption, and facism and corruption is now running wild out of control with no "good guys with guns", I think it won't matter if we ban all guns across the board permanently, including for cops.

Publicly paid for rent free housing. Not group shelters. Full on housing. That's literally all it's ever taken. Season on some free mental and medical Healthcare and you've got a recovery sandwich. Even if they don't end up fixing their lives, the amount it costs the public to just give them this is cheaper than it costs to have the police harass them, build anti-homeless infrastructure, and repair damages caused by the unhoused from defecation or public property damages. The other one-two punch is fixing economic problems, which rent caps, unions, minimum wage being a living wage tied to inflation,, and changing fines to imprisonment for corporations doing crimes will fix a lot of that.

It's too bad this can't happen while corporations can buy the government with "donations" and lobbying (legalized bribery), and massively benefit from homelessness as a way to force people into exploitative work, or imprisonment for cheap legal slave labor (See 13th amendment). Only way I can think to fix that problem is to remove the source of their power, which is to pull money out of the equation. Essentially building communities that work together without money like we used to, though the government has standing orders to kill or break up people who try that (see Malcolm X, M.L.K. Jr., or places like lake Lanier).

I find it easier to just leave the carriers out for a while after each use (like a week) and open so they treat them like the boxes. Never had a cat hate a carrier since.

Nope. If you watched the yelper episode of South Park, specifically the scenes where the yelpers are all gathered together talking over each other, it shows exactly how these people see the world.

They don't have to because they aren't legally a news network. They are legally Fox Entertainment. There was a whole lawsuit about that.

Sadly they aren't even boomers. They are the silent generation before them.

We also used to have acid rain regularly, and we tore a hole in the ozone. It's never a bad idea to watch the consequences of our actions and impose restrictions on them to keep us all safe and healthy.

You are correct, it is only reversible care. Nobody gets a sex change under 18 in the US due to minor status consent and permanent procedures like that. Unfortunately you will find it hard to prove something that doesn't happen, happened. That's why they choose this route so they can claim that they are making sure kids aren't getting sex changes by getting the medical/therapy records for anyone Trans.

The problem is that it's just so they get their info to persecute them, which even if this gets stopped in court it keeps Trans people from seeking professional care due to completely legitimate fears of future breaches. They win whether they get the records or not.

That's kinda fair, but only if not looking at context. Unions represent the will/votes of the workers, and in the past women's rights were culturally looked down on. In the present day equality is a more widespread cultural view so unions now would reflect that, at least in areas that do. So essentially unions are only as good as the current majority ethics of the workers within them.

Don't forget the slavery profits from prisoners via the 13th amendments second clause.

Makes sense. Greece fires are hard to put out. Have they tried baking soda?

Why even fine corporations at this point? Put the ones involved behind bars and shut the company down, liquidate their assets, and divide it to the victims when they do criminal shit.
