  1. One more example of why profit shouldn't be a part of providing people with healthcare.

  2. Where is body camera footage? This is one more example of the top down and bottom up corruption that goes on way too much in Law Enforcement. The DA and the cops all have each others back and cover each other asses.

  4. "We saw violence, we saw killings and we saw everything else. We saw hunger and exhaustion. We have seen what cannot be unseen." - perfect way to finish this part of the story, but it is a story that is far from over.

  5. @Alec nolastname The fencing master is correct, i's not fencing. It's closer to kendo or stage-brawling, and there is probably a reason they didn't try to get recognized by the International Kendo Association as a new form of that martial tradition. I get that it's going to bring in more revenue for the Fencing association and might bring some people to the actual sport of fencing, but it's not any more a part of modern fencing then the people fighting the round at the Ren Fair and in the SCA (etc.). Still, it looks like damn good fun and anything that gets people out, active and playing together is generally a good thing in my book. But it's not fencing. Not unless you are using the word as referencing all forms of sword play or even any form of person to person combat. Even sparring is a form of fencing in that sense, but i guess what I should be saying is that it isn't Fencing with a capital F.

  7.  @ZahdShah  I am a highly educated and skilled professional but I have to accept the rate of pay me employer sets for my service - I also work for a hospital in a non-medical professional role (Medical Records Coding). Very few people who work in healthcare get to set their own rate of compensation. And if I relocated to a smaller city or rural community (and could find a job doing this) I'd probably make a lot less than I do currently. But my post is is less about the pharmacist or other trained healthcare provider and more about the for-profit system so many people are operating under. Pharmacies and doctors offices are are a vital part of any community. People working at them should expect to be fairly and well compensated for their role in providing those services. And it should be at a level that provides for a decent standard of living for the region and community. That we have the situation being described here in the United States is a sad testament to how little we value providing healthcare for everyone in this country. To be honest though I also don't believe anyone should expect to get rich by providing a vital service to a community. If someone wants to get rich they should get involved in some part of the financial service sector, develop a new app or some kind of widget that millions of people will buy, or become famous somehow and capitalize on that. If they want to help keep and make people healthy then do that but amassing wealth should be a side project.

  8. Yeah, Ukraine is not a good place to be a civilian in at the moment - especially a Jewish one. The 21st century has had some interesting rhyming with the last one already. We're (hopefully) getting past the pandemic so next comes the boom of the Roarin' 20's followed by the bust of the 30's and the rise of new National Socialist groups. Then again, by the 2040's we might be dealing with a global extinction level event instead of the localized kind from a hundred years earlier. Progress!

  12. It's like people commenting were too busy reading the comments and didn't watch the video or at least not where it mentioned that. It's a trip how an untrained dog that bites someone gets labeled as dangerous and is put down, but when the dog was trained and re-enforced to bite people it gets rewarded even if bites the wrong person from time to time. Crazy how much that describes the police themselves now that I'm thinking about it. All these people saying "just don't resist" would be the first ones to freak out and resist of a big police dog was mauling their arm or leg or face. And so would I! I can't think of many people so passive or with such self-control that they wouldn't be screaming and thrashing around (AKA resisting) if they were being attacked and bitten by a dog.

  15. ​ @bigphillyed  "According to the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Statistics, public expenditure on policing in the United States more than quadrupled between 1982 and 2006." - http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/pub/pdf/pdlc00.pdf. I don't think the police should be defunded, but they should review their budgets and re-fund where and how they are allocating the budgets they have. And many departments, including this one and at least one of the officers involved in this tragically botched raid, already do have body cameras. They also need to get rid of those "bad apples" who cost them millions of dollars on lawsuit settlements for police misconduct every year. The Blue Wall needs to be torn down. I am all for for allocating additional moneys for better training and mental health support services for local police departments. But when it comes to militarization of law enforcement they are doing just fine with all the federal grant programs, municipal and county taxes, fines and forfeitures, and various law enforcement foundation and charitable groups.

  16.  @oldman2477  No one is suggeting that, but better yet - imagine a McDonald's cashier being paid like a doctor. Or even just enough so they can see the doctor and not have the co-pay for the visit and perscriptions mean it'll be a struggle to make it through until the next paycheck. Luckily most McDonald's employees certainly qualify for state medicaid programs or on some kind of social security medical program so at least there's that for the big expenses.

  36. @Johann Fischer First - transparency and full and prompt compliance with Freedom of Information requests are vital to fight corruption and attempts to hide and destroy the documentation of the times that the enforcement agent of the various governmental agencies inure or kill the citizens of this government. But it will also provide the fuel for a completely justified outrage that will rise to the level of hatred for the system that hides the acts of "a few bad apples", exonerating, retiring with benefits, or moving them on to another jurisdiction. And it's a hatred that I can't deny to those in the families and communities that have been directly injured by these systems and their enforcers. I love the ideal and the dream of what the United States is supposed to be, but I'm also well-enough informed to hate the way it's being run and hate the vast majority of the people who own it and those who run it for them. While we've always been a divided nation and people over a host of subjects, it does feel like it's gotten worse over the last decade. Maybe it's just because there is so much more information always coming at us, but it feels like we usually argue about the color of the curtains in the room and if they should even still be called curtains instead of joining together and say "holy crap - the rooms on fire!" and putting it out. I'm just wondering which room we should start with because the whole damned house seems like it's in some state of conflagration. So to finish out this fiery metaphor, it's understandable that the people in charge don't want to disclose these documents because the knowledge of what they've been covering up will generate some hate and will certainly add fuel to the fire burning in their house. Then there is the financial component to the whole thing which is one of if not the main root of all these problems. Follow the money!

  46.  @yeehaw3792  From what I understand, most of what Climate Change does is make a regions traditional weather more extreme. If you live where there is normally a lot of rain there is going to be more rain from that extra evaporation you are talking about as weather patterns will still drive the moisture to those regions. But parts of the world where it was already dry it will get drier and will go through a long-term drought punctuated by the occasional severe floods from freak weather events.

I think most people would agree with you that it's silly to think that at least someone in Marfa wouldn't contract Corona somehow, but by closing down the town to tourists they certainly would have decreased their chances of exposure.

  64.  @finalform11  Two legitimate examples of when a semiautomatic firearm is preferable to a bolt-action rifle would be if you are trying to kill a herd of feral pigs that are destroying the crops in your field or a pack of coyotes or dogs attacking your livestock. You can laugh at this answer but these are real problems for farmers and ranchers. Regardless of whether they are 12 or 21 of 50 the vast majority of them are trained on how to use and respect a firearm be a single shot .22, a bolt action 30-06, or any of the wide-variety of semi-automatic pistols or rifles. There are so many makes and models of semi-automatic firearms going back over a hundred years that trying to ban and/or remove them all isn't feasible. It would be like if you were having trouble with high-end sports cars being driven too fast so you made laws effecting all vehicles with a manually shifted transmission ever made. I'd also like to point out that having an assault weapons ban didn't stop the Columbine school massacre or any of the other mass shootings that occurred between 1994 and 2004. We can make changes to gun laws around the edges of things like raising the age to purchase, reducing magazine size, or even banning the sale of certain firearms and we'll see varying degrees of compliance - more so in the liberal urban parts of the country, but you can forget about this happening in the conservative and rural parts of the country because in the country a semi-automatic firearm is both a useful tool and a damn good time.

That being said, the Taliban is largely made up of a whole new set of jihadists since western forces killed of so many of the old ones in Afghanistan and elsewhere.

  77.  @ALotOfCancer  Seems simple to me. We teach our children not to bite. We train our pets not to bite. We say it's poor sportsmanship or disqualifying if someone bites someone else during a professional fight or other contact sport. Civilized people think making animals bite and fight each other is immoral and wrong. It's only when we get to the dirtiest kinds of uncivilized street fighting or when you are defending your life that biting begins to become acceptable. And even in the dirtiest fight biting isn't a go-to move for most people because it escalates even an uncivilized event into something truly awful. Which I'm sure is part of the intent with the use of attack dogs - such a gross thing to do and try to defend.

  99.  @DeAlexon12  You'd only be partly right - I don't currently have a dog. It's just me and I can't devote enough time to properly care for a dog. But I grew up up with dogs and have been around them as an adult and will probably have one again after I'm retired. I love dogs and I hate seeing them used as a weapon. I understand what you are saying about play and rough-housing. That's fine, but biting as never something we encouraged in any of our dogs and actively discouraged if it gets too rough. There's a reason they have chew toys and bones. The idea of biting ever being considered a sport is, to me, just gross. And thank you for using the example of boxing (you fell into my trap moo-ha-ha! - JK 😀). I don't know who the greatest boxer is but Mike Tyson is certainly one of them. Sadly, he'll probably always be remembered as that dude who chewed the other dudes ear off when he fought Holyfield in '97. There's no crying in baseball and not supposed to be any biting in boxing or other combat and contact sports. The only time biting is okay is as a last ditch defense move if your life is on the line - or as retaliation is you're being bitten.

  106.  @Dat_Sun  Of course you can stop. It sounds like you don't enjoy being a pothead so stop being one. Like any substance that you don't want to use, don't buy it any more so you don't have any around. You might go through a short period of wanting it but it will pass. I quit smoking cigarettes about ten years ago after smoking a pack a day for decades and that was much harder than anytime I've stopped smoking pot for a while. Pot doesn't have the same physical withdrawal issues that nicotine or opioids have so it's just the mental addiction you have to deal with. You might be cranky for a bit but you'll get over that. Let me tell you, as a regular marijuana smoker since I was a teenager I'm absolutely an addict. I love how it makes me feel when I'm awake, that it helps me sleep through the night, and it just generally helps with my mood during the day. I love smoking with other people or getting high by myself. But like any addiction, I also know that I don't have any self control with marijuana and if I have it around I'm going to smoke it. So when I inherited my fathers firearm collection a while back after he passed away I wanted to stop smoking and didn't want any marijuana in the house while I have the guns here, so I stopped buying it. I miss it mentally, but I don't have any physical jones for marijuana the way I still sometimes for cigarettes. And I'm in Colorado too, so it's plenty easy to buy around here - there are at least two dispensaries with a mile of me. You can do it too, dude. Just stop buying it. And there are plenty of groups and people on-line that can help you with the mental addiction if you need support with that. The only thing holding you back is you. Just do it. Good luck, brother.

  107.  @Dat_Sun  I hate the way YouTube auto-deletes comments these days. I posted this long message about how you absolutely can stop and it's gone. But you absolutely can stop. The first thing to do is stop buying it. If I have it around I'm going to smoke it because I'm mentally addicted - I love how it makes me feel, it helps me sleep, and it takes the edge off my anxiety and depression. But for various reasons (that are probably what got my last comment removed when I mentioned them) I wanted stop so I stopped buying it. But it's clearly making you unhappy and not serving you well so you should definitely stop, and you definitely can. Because if an undisciplined hedonist like me can do it you can do it too. And there's no physical withdrawals like there is with opioids or even cigarettes (and I finally stopped smoking cigarettes too, which I still crave sometimes, so I know what I' talking about). So the only thing you have to deal with is the mental part which isn't a small thing but still something you definitely can do. And there are all kinds of online resources and even a group in the Silverthorne area to help you stay stopped after you stop buying and stop using it. You can do it, brother. If I could then you can too.

  108. "Our ultimate goal is to stop sexualizing the kids and let them be kids" Good luck with that -- conservatives can't stop sexualizing M&M's. And when have kids not been sexualized and exploited by adults? Banning a few young adult books hasn't worked and certainly won't work in the age of the Internet. But Y'all Qaeda has never figured that out.

  117. "Well here we are eight years later and it's worse." Can we at least stop arguing about whether or not the climate is changing in a dramatic way? I mean, it really doesn't matter because we're pretty much fucked as it is, but at least stop adding to the flat earth, chem-trail, space-is-fake, stupidity. I get enough of that from God's people.

  123.  @braidend4379  Have your own gun and keep the dog alive. Unless you live in a primitive lifestyle or where there isn't a lot of technology, using a dog for home defense is dumb and lazy when we have much better tools to do the job. Have a dog for companionship and the love they give, not because it can be a shield.

  124.  @braidend4379  Like I said previously, unless you live in a primitive lifestyle or where there isn't a lot of technology - I should have added "or restrictive gun laws". If a dog really is the best defense available then that's a damn shame but you gotta do what you gotta do. As far as those individual stories providing evidence for your arguments, I could provide others backing up mine. Just do a search with the term "Dog shot and killed during home invasion" and you'll get example after example. I'm just grateful I live where I have better home security technology available and the right to defend myself with a firearm so I can let a dog be my pet and not for protection. Besides, I have a fondness for basset hounds and mixed-breed mutts so there's not much home defense fear factor from them.

  125. A new gilded age? It's always a gilded age for the rulers of the world. Anyone who thinks Oligarchs and Plutocrats running the world are a new thing isn't paying attention to history.

  126.  @tokiowrld9999  I was merely whatabouting your whatabouting. All of the countries you listed are statistically better than the U.S. in some ways and worse than the U.S. in others. In some considerations, the United States is the greatest country in the world, in others it certainly is not. I don't think I'd go so far as to say "as close as humanly possible" either, but there is plenty of blame historically and in the present for every nation on the planet. And part of the reason some of the countries you mentioned have been able to move forward socially and surpass the U.S. was because of the presence of the U.S. as an ally and a force of deterrence against the old Soviet Union. This subject is lot more complicated and nuanced than we're going to fully address in a YouTube comment section. Have a good one.

  128. People have made works of art out of weapons throughout the ages - new weapon same urge. Besides, most works of art absolutely could be used to kill someone. Less so with performative art, but certainly with any art that takes up space in the world. There's not much chance of death by interpretive dance, but someone could bust off the edge of a picture frame or use a small statue and beat someone to death if they really had to.

  131. It's always a bad sign when the police are oppressing the people instead of keeping them safe. It's almost like they aren't really there to help keep people safe but to enforce the policies of oligarchs and plutocrats. Same as it's ever been - here comes the twister.

  139. I know I shouldn't judge, especially from my safe home in my country that isn't being bombed, but here I go anyhow. If her parents have no where else to go I can see staying, but the whole "this is our city so we're not leaving" thing they said also made me sad and a little mad. There's no shame in taking their child somewhere that isn't being bombed even if it means becoming a refugee in another country like many other Ukrainians have done. I think it's better to leave and live so you can come back to rebuild once the fighting stops. Everything about this nightmare save the strength and resilience of the Ukrainian people is heartbreaking.
