I’m not going to pretend I didn’t get an inheritance when my dad died. I got a little run down house in a farm town and the balance of a workers comp settlement. There’s a big difference between that and people inheriting enough that they never have to work a day in their lives.
Yeah, because their parents are dying and leaving their kids an inheritance.
This is an actual quote from a park official discussing the difficulty of designing bear-proof garbage cans that didn’t confuse people as well.
Rob Liefeld is designing clothing now?
The Russian judge really robbed Comcast of that gold
I have to imagine a person in such a situation would experience an adrenaline spike which makes for unsteady hands.
Also in spite of what we learn on TV, matching a bullet to a gun is mostly junk science.
The program provides funding for states to build charging stations. As of the beginning of the year, half of states hadn’t even begun to take bids from contractors. Not like Biden can control that.

100% agree with you then.
Y’all need to hear the fable of the boy who cried wolf.
I don’t disagree that silencing protest is bad. It’s just not fascism. Fascists kill dissenters.
Treating protestors like this is the norm (though it always must be fought). It’s how they were treated during Occupy Wall Street. It’s how they were treated during Vietnam and the civil rights fight. Authoritarianism can come from both the left and the right. Fascism is always from the right.
I usually go by Umberto Eco’s Ur-Fascism essay for a definition.

Suppression of protest would fall under #4 “Disagreement is Treason”. Under fascism it is not enough to silence opposition. They must be treated as enemies of the state and be eradicated.
I’m certainly not defending the silencing of protest. It’s just that all fascism is authoritarian, but not all authoritarianism is fascist. Fascism has a specific definition and it’s a whole other degree of bad.
This isn’t fascism. These people will get a slap on the wrist and be sent home in a day or two. Under fascism these people would never be heard from again.

You could, but who is worried a bear will use their computer?
One of my favorite examples of the difficulty in idiot-proofing things comes from a national park ranger talking about the difficulty of designing a bear-proof garbage can. He said “There is considerable overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans.”
Calzones are in the hand pie family along with Cornish pasties and empanadas
Is every pie a quiche or is every quiche a pie?
The irony is that I only got that house because my parents divorced and I only got money because my dad was injured badly at work. His bad fortune was my good fortune. I would give it up in a heartbeat if it meant he didn’t have to go through that pain.
