    Time to call it quits?

    Keeping in mind I was a teenager when the Great Recession happened: Every indication and analysis of monetary policy under the Obama administration did not benefit the middle class at all. We didn't have any direct stimulus (not that I support that) and neither did employment recover until well...

    Time to call it quits?

    You're forgetting that Obama tripled the national debt.

    DC, Puerto Rico statehood.

    Well the issue with DC statehood is because DC is similar to Canberra in Australia or Brasilia. It was a purpose built capital, and it's an old example of it. The issue with making them a state is that it'll cause issues at the national level. There's a few alternatives: 1. Let VA and MD...

    Mmhmm.

    DC, Puerto Rico statehood.

    I'd prefer both become independent, tbh.

    DC, Puerto Rico statehood.

    Hawaii, yes, Alaska, no. Alaska is a major outpost we can use against Russia and it has actual resources that the US can use. Puerto Rico and Hawaii are far more resource poor and isolated.

    Why the death penalty should never be abolished.

    If the constitution wasn't in the way I'd say gladiator battles for people sentenced to death, and the last one standing gets life instead. But I highly think such things would be basically viewed as human cockfighting.

    Time to call it quits?

    Whomever's in power will decide for everyone else. Best case, we get some kind of "population exchange" going on where people can trade properties of similar values for those who wanna leave. Worst case we have a brutal purge and cleansing - not something I'm looking forward to, but a real...

    Why the death penalty should never be abolished.

    The main reasons why are due to appeals and other aspects of justice. If we burnt their appeals out early through priority handling of appeals and such, then we could have them pushed in and out of the system in a matter of months or years. The issue with Life in Prison is that it simply is...

    Alternative Energy?

    Finally getting my financial situation slowly straight. I wanna buy a plot of mountain land in NC or WV and have a cabin, grow my own food etc. Alternative energy is one thing I'm definitely not shying away from when the time comes.

    Systems Break Down...

    We had our range break down, I lost my wagon in a multi-car accident. I lost a computer, and our washer. It's not been fun, but thank the gods its not as bad as what you've been facing.

    Trump Names Names

    I don't think Trump's speech was professional, but I think he is not guilty of any incitement of violence. The second impeachment was political. It'd be nice to see a Republican wave in 2021 and 2022 (there's special elections this year) but I believe the Dems have rigged the system pretty good...

    Why the death penalty should never be abolished.

    Virginia abolished it recently. I'm pissed because it's a criminal deterrent. If there's one thing I do agree with Muslims on, there's a need for punishments of the capital variety. I don't agree with how everything is implemented with them, mind you, but executions are a massive criminal...

    Time to call it quits?

    I won't pretend that I LIKE Roscoe. I don't, and I anticipate the sentiment with him is similar towards me. We are mostly opposites with entirely different generational backgrounds and viewpoints. I'm hesitant to "defer to an elder" when as I stated the 60s and 70s counterculture was as bad...

    For the Leftists here, a Question about your hypocritical agenda.

    I have Tiffy the Cat in my profile image. I've been down freaking rabbit holes.
