Fuck that guy. Got fired like this. Was three minutes late after an hour and a half commute by car. So not only did I lose my job after driving 90 minutes, I had to drive the whole 90 minutes back, fill my tank with gas that I damn sure di…

It was horrible to see her. We hid under desks and then ran away when the coast was clear and I peeled out of there and went home. Terrible.Thank you. I'm mostly afraid of finding out who died. Two other women and I work out front and we k…

You'd think back before Columbine and there was one every couple of years. It turned into one high profile mass shooting every year or so, which shortened to every couple months and now we're getting into how many weeks it's been since the…

You don't shoot the tank with the rifle. You shoot the fuel dumps. You shoot the transformer hanging off a power line, and then shoot the men who show up to repair it. Soon there are no public works employees. You disable train tracks and …

It continued even after she told him she wasn’t interested and that she wanted him to stop emailing herThat may be your topic, but my topic is: If Americans are not responsible enough to stop murdering each other, then the constitutional r…

They let him go with a warning he’d be arrested for trespassing if he came back. My last two weeks at the job I was extremely concerned he’d come back. The whole point of changing careers was that I didn’t want to be involved in having to …

I've modified my thoughts on gun control, I don't care anymore, each state that continues to vote in Republicans and Democrats that side with the NRA are responsible for what they sowed. And if a person doesn't vote, I simply don't care wh…

It's almost as if all they've done is enabled people to pick a location where they can do the most carnage possible without any chance of someone defending themselvesBecause hypocrites. It’s easy to sit and say, “thoughts and prayers” inst…

Therapy is limited in most plans to once a month and they will not cover it for very long. Do you think 12 hours a year of therapy would have stopped this guy from killing these people?I don't normally lean left or right. I really could gi…

Americans need mental health holidays but they won't even vote for their own insurance because others they've deemed to be lazy will get insurance too. Nevermind that we as a society will eventually pick up the cost.How many more times doe…

Do cars reduce car accidents???? Do you argue that tax evasion laws should be repealed because criminals who evade taxes don't follow tax laws???For fucks sake 12 people are dead, have the decency to at least be honest about the situation.…

To all the idiots about to post about how we need MORE guns and about how we need "good guys" with guns.Good guys with a gun didnt stop a bad guy with a gun, the bad guy with a gun killed 12 people, and the bad guy shot a good guy with a g…

It doesn’t matter if the police didn’t report his name. CNN and the NYT both reported his name and information hours after the shooting and continue to post articles about him as they get more information. His name is all over the internet…

It starts with throwing milkshakes at people you don't agree with and leads to killing them. It's not guns, it's violent people.It's unacceptable for anyone to use physical attacks of any kind against anyone unless you're defending yoursel…

Firearms may exacerbate the systemic violence but they arent the root cause of it as shown by other countries with similar per capita ownership but little to no violence. Obviously I am referencing the Czech Republic and Switzerland which …

I agree that housing should be a right for all people but where the question becomes more complex is over the location of that housing.In a Canadian example people often cite the crazy home prices in Toronto and Vancouver but nobody ever m…

Certainly not all, but a sizable percentage of the homeless are folks with mental health problems. We have a mental health issue that I'd prefer to see solved before we start giving away houses. The mental health issue shows up everywhere,…

then offer an equal per-person deduction for occupied residences which scales in proportion to the number of individuals housed rather than in proportion to income or property value. This way anyone who is holding vacant land which is not …

Call her a peon but she's still one of the most known politicians in the country. And she did that real fast. If she didn't worry the powers that be they wouldn't be allocating the resources they are to trying to attack her. They see farth…

Capitalism has done more to cut extreme poverty, hunger, violence and homelessness globally in the last 200 years than anything we’ve even fathomed could in all of prior human history. It was completely revolutionary and one of the greates…

I work from home, so I am around, I see people. I have a community now, and it wasn't through my workplace, it was through making an effort to meet the people I walked past every day and lived next to.I don't think it should be one thing o…

And if you are too underprivileged to be in a position to do any of that, or if you can't read, or don't have the internet, then you should be upset. But there's a lot of people out there just like you who could form an alliance and help e…

I agree that a "remote revolution" could help the workforce temporarily, but I tend to think that would be a "bandaid on a broken arm" kind of situation. This concept is heavily biased, obviously, for computer-based jobs. Many computer-bas…

She fought with her husband, they both got on drugs and straight up left us inn a house going through eviction and very little tiime to get out. Because the area is rural as shit, there re no social programs nearby that can help. So, what …

So I’m an asshole, but let’s look at a thing called “chronically homeless” meaning the person is unable to live independently but usually cannot hold down a job (often due to mental illness). How about we give them housing not just because…

When talking to my conservative peers, it’s better to phrase it as “it’s more cost effective to house the homeless in permanent apartments than it is to cart them to and from hospitals and jails for minor offenses like loitering.” This is …

There are a lot of unused homes and abandoned buildings in my area that the city, county, and/or state refuses to do anything with. They've been left alone for years because someone or some people are just sitting on them. Meanwhile mortga…

Thing is, the homeless often need support - just giving them an apartment isn't going to work in every case. There also needs to be a support structure to help people who have no experience of paying utility bills, budgeting, looking after…

Most states require you to sign up for Medicaid with a license, mailing address, etc. When I was homeless in Seattle, Medicaid required an ID (Which I thankfully had) and a mailing address that couldn't be a PO Box. Thankfully I kept a Box…
