Received an email with very similar wording to this about 18 months ago at my job. Remember not so quietly letting some cuss words fly in disgust at the request. Please, just for once, look at an employee as a human being.
There’s a guy in our town that owns a tow truck company right in the middle of town. He’s an absolute piece of shit that overcharges everyone and flies a massive 30’ rebel flag and a smaller let’s go Brandon flag and a small American flag on the three poles inside his fenced in business. If anyone gives him shit, he’ll just go buy a bigger one and become more obnoxious with his racism. In a growing community that is becoming more and more diverse, he’s a huge embarrassment. I sincerely hope one of his trucks runs over him soon.
If you gave me 3 guesses on what kind of company a guy flying those flags runs, well, that would be high-up on my list of guesses.
The dude that owned that embarrassment of a statue of Forrest outside of Nashville on 65 finally died and his relatives I'm guessing took it down.
Some asshole who owns land right off of I22 right as you come into Alabama from Mississippi flies a gigantic confederate flag.
Largest I ever saw was in South Carolina coming from Knoxville, heading to Clemson. Ive told the story before.
Hunting for sport is a hobby I just don't get. Bears aren't part of the food supply and we're at least a century removed from anyone having to rely on animal fur for warmth.
Who doesn't like waking up before dawn, going out into the freezing cold woods, to cover yourself with animal piss and sit silently and wait to kill an animal walking around in its territory?
I mean all of that sounds awesome. But can I do that and NOT kill animals? Or is it more of a you can't have one with out the other?
Conservation is important as well https://cnr.ncsu.edu/news/2021/02/the-role-of-hunting-in-wildlife-conservation-explained/
You’re more likely not to see shit than ever get to actually kill something. Just sit around freezing your ass off.
Public land management depends on hunting in this country. Can only imagine how awful it would be without that money
I don’t get the feeling this is about responsible management of bear populations so much as it’s about hunting hardos getting to kill something with big teeth
The number of permits issued and hunting seasons is the management. Nothing to do with the hunters attitudes.
See it every time I drive up I-25 to Asheville. He had to build a small fence with barbed wire on top to surround the biggest flag. Such a POS.
There's some asshole who flies (or used to fly) an absolutely massive one along I-64 near Richmond, VA. 1,500 s.f. or something.
Also should note the process for delisting is not something made lightly. There's lots of work that goes into those decisions based on recovery targets etc. States still have to maintain a population at a certain level, or else the feds step in again and list it when environmental groups sue. The last few attempts at delisting were halted by lawsuits.
In 1969, the US Supreme Court decided the case, Ohio v. Brandenburg. It set a first amendment standard for when free speech turns to imminent lawless action and can be prosecuted. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandenburg_v._Ohio Brandenburg was a Klu Klux Klan leader in a rural county outside of Cincinnati. Unfortunately, his farm bordered Interstate 71 heading north. He had this on his barn, right next to the interstate, until he died a few years ago and the new owners removed it.
The Tennessee Heritage Protection Act was passed to prevent municipalities from removing Confederate monuments from public land. It’s definitely not about racism though. These people don’t even try to be taken seriously.
If you stay off Broadway, Nashville is fine. I would recommend staying out of the entire state though.
Maybe if Gym wasn’t so focused on being a remora on Trump’s filthy asshole, he might have had the ability to speak up about kids being sexually abused.
Nashville would be fine if the idiot GOP would stop throwing tantrums that it's blue and stop governing to piss off the libs. But we know that's not gonna happen.
I guess I missed this yesterday; sorry if already discussed. This court really really really hates women. Jeez...
People eat bears. Black bears especially. And you can't kill game animals without eating them. It's illegal.
Yeah delisting species is incredibly time and evidence intensive and isn't taken lightly by anyone. If anything everyone tends to overshoot target populations by quite a bit before that happens.
Look at this idiot https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...is-ap-black-studies-j-b-pritzker-culture-war/
