In my city a program of speed cameras was instituted about a decade ago. A private speed camera corporation lobbied the city to install, maintain and administer the system. Whoever it was that they bribed to approve it did so and the system was installed. For the first year it brought in a bunch of money extorted from the citizens. Then the revenue dropped below the minimum amount that the corporation wrote into the contract as their cut (people figured out where all of the cameras were). At that point the system was costing the city money rather than generating revenue as the corporation had promised. So they started using mobile cameras. This worked for a short time but the blowback was sharp. In the end the system was scrapped.

I think the correct clinical diagnosis in his case is “flaming asshole”

Where’s Luigi when you need him?

It’s a ‘mixed use’ airport. A military airport with civilian human shields.

By any means necessary.

The beatings will continue until morale improves

To be fair, Brian Thompson tried to kill Mangioni. I’d call it self defense.

Someone needs to do it. Luigi?

Two sentences there. The first is factually correct, though useless. The second is obviously complete bullshit, though strangely accepted by quite a few otherwise intelligent people.

There is a lot of us investment in Chinese industrial manufacturing. Remember that China is a nominally communist country. I imagine that it would require a single signature to nationalize all of it.

Odds on a jury convicting him?

This.

Equal opportunity corruption

Racism.

No genocides? Ummm… I guess you could say that Canada has committed the same genocides as the usa.

Won’t tds being a diagnosable mental health condition make those exhibiting it a protected class?

Luigi showed us the way.

If he lives that long.

Sounds like a class action lawsuit screaming to happen

In what let’s call the Jewish diaspora there is a strong thread of fascism. The fascists currently (and for some time now) are in control of the israeli government. If the israeli people were not in support of such fascism they are doing a poor job of expressing it. Globally fascism among jews is not universal, probably not even a majority though I have no hard data here. Anecdotally among the Jewish people I know there is one rabidly fascist of the kill all the Palestinians ilk, a few who claim not to support genocide but will get loud and in your face at any criticism of it and many who are disgusted by it and will openly say so. Your mileage may vary.
