If you bought a house for 20k and tomorrow it was worth 1 million, should you be forced to sell it so you can pay a wealth tax?

The house would not be reassessed one day after buying so this is a bone headed analogy. Change the period to 5 years and the answer is an unequivocal "yes". If you want to stay, get a 2nd mortgage and pay back the taxed amount over time with the hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit that you made.

Oh, you're right I've heard about this. Apparently all of the rain falls mainly on the grassy flatland areas.

Improving rehabilitation is the only option forward.

Yeah I feel like this should have been the disclaimer for my comment.

bro, everyone talks about the weather so much

So where do you go if you're considered rehabilitated after committing a violent crime? They don't belong in an asylum if they don't need rehabilitative treatment and aren't believed to be a danger to anyone. They don't belong in prison if they lacked "guilty mind" while committing the crime. Do we set up a third custody option, like a half-jail that isn't as bad as real jail? To me it seems like that would violate some fundamental rights and/or legal precedents. And even if it didn't, I can easily see this half jail becoming an overflow depot for real jail next time someone wants to get tough on crime again, and then we're back where we started.

I really don't know the right answer.

dry it on high heat or use 7zip

just make 4 hydraulics and a mini backhoe, then combine hydraulically. ezpz.

I have no first hand knowledge or statistically representative data on this. But I have heard from my brown Asian friends (SE Asia) that police have been a problem for them. I get the sense that experiences vary widely in a way that is correlated race and socioeconomic status within the general East Asian community. So I'm honestly not sure more police will help everyone. Even if the police aren't actively creating problems, communal distrust of police could exacerbate the problems that already exist and prevent their resolution. No matter what your solution to crime is it seems pretty vital to have buy-in from the community.

I'm not arguing for that

you're totally right. I misread. sorry.

I agree with everything you're saying for the most part. All I'll say is that body cam footage is important but still a small part of the overall solution. But I would infer that you agree with that point.

I don't know. I am not pretending to know. I am trying to understand what your opinion is, so I asked directly. should I have asked some other way? or are you not interested in discussing?

don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of infrastructure....... but did we really need to go to the moon? all we have to show for it is a couple of grey rocks and even then the 300M of us have to share

wow, you've made an incredible observation that nobody has ever considered, ever

reddit: "crime would not be a problem if we could just execute suspects on sight"

Dude, we saw police rampaging on peaceful protesters, with the impunity bestowed only by military riot gear, for the entire summer last year. There's no argument you can make that will take those images out the collective memory.

There is a massive, systemic problem with police and police unions and nobody is going to want them around until they 1) take some fucking responsibility and 2) attempt to begin to rectify the problems.

Police aren't the only people capable of reducing crime. London Breed is making use of community groups who can certainly deter punks who are looking to smack some seniors. And since these groups aren't armed with guns there is a stastical reduction in the threat of police shootings (vs the alternative of hiring more police).

are you saying you don't think there are problems with police brutality? or that we need to have more police presence in spite of it? or something else?

idk, Jeff Kaplan seems like he's doing a good job and he's been there since Diablo released on Babbage computing engine

all those barriers add up

they'll probably just use their naval skills to drive the boat to safety

One could conceivably do both. And the tweet got at least three people's attention.

Trains are really unpredictable

If you're like most people, you're saying this because you're used to watching the front car (the Cioppino) to see where it's headed. This is a mistake. Watch the last car (the Dangler); this one goes wherever the rest go, so it's very easy to predict. Therefore if you find yourself on/in/under the Cioppino it's almost certainly a good idea to move out of the way and get to a vantage point.

this would already have gone thru the insurance cos legal team and been found to be not only 100% airtight legally

I can confirm he was joking
