Lots of downside there too. Imagine a for profit company (or more likely small number of companies) with all of the ethical and moral turpitude of Facebook controlling the transportation infrastructure in the country through that technology. Throw in all the truckers who will be out of work, the expectation that you can be a connected and fully productive worker while driving, and the environmental impacts of an hour long commute going from a hassle to potentially enjoyable/fully productive time... Insurance premiums will probably go lower though.
CHICAGO (AP) — Former President Barack Obama has picked his NCAA Tournament brackets, and he has Michigan State winning the men’s title
oh god, the whining over obama taking 30 minutes to do a tv spot for espn once a year. for some reason i don't hear the same level of outrage from those folks when the president flies down to his private golf resort every other weekend.
what happened recently where trump was furious that being the president got in the way of him flying down to mar-a-lago for the weekend? was it the government shutdown?
“It’s critical Mueller is allowed to proceed unimpeded” *fires Mueller* “Well ultimately President Business has the final say”
Shutdown kept him from his inauguration anniversary party, and the school shooting kept him from leaving Mar a Lago to go golf
Im extremely worried that we're reliving a shameful and horrifying simulacrum of American history like the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Alabama in the 60s. Weve had Dylan Roof, that white supremacist who got caught with ricin and the other wishing to copy Roof, the one guy in Maryland who stabbed that ROTC african american student, that guy in Oregon who murdered two men for defending that muslim lady riding the bus, that guy who traveled to New York with a samurai sword to kill muslim and african americans. And thats just off the top of my head And they feel emboldened and justified to do these things because of Trump and the people who voted for him
Not sure if one of those is the guy from Louisiana who killed 2 black males and fired into a home of a black family. http://www.theadvocate.com/baton_ro...cle_983c1d38-d571-11e7-9aad-bbd8311c6255.html
buuuuuuut I wannnnna kill some oooooooooooone This is almost entirely useless if it does nothing about prescriptions, which it won't because it makes people money. It was just meant to go after minorities. Wonder if they'll try to redefine low-level dealers as traffickers
No. Traffickers. So, the pharma reps that push it on doctors to push it on patients for minor knee or back pain.
Yeah someone who wrote a book about Purdue Pharma was talking on C-Span about the marketing and sales strategies they employed. One of which was flying doctors who, iirc, had high prescription numbers to these "conferences" where basically they would be paid $500,000 to give some short talk, on top of being comped for a nice weekend somewhere.
"Traffickers" are probably also more likely to have last names like Rodriguez, which is convenient for other reasons
The Sackler family should be taken to a secure location where they're forced to consume increasing doses of Oxy for 6 months. Then, the Sacklers should be switched to heroin on an intermittent and unpredictable schedule. Finally, stripped of all identifying information and without access to any funds, each Sackler should be dumped separately in backwoods areas of West Virginia, East Kentucky, East Tennessee, and Southeast Ohio.
It’s cruel to launch people into withdrawal like that. They should be given salmonella tainted Kratom to ease the process.
Fuck man. These NDAs keep pissing me off. Hiding non-classified information from the public at the risk of huge financial harm is the exact opposite of maintaining a well-informed public. It is the opposite of having a government by the people FOR the people.
Yeah but the targets are black and we don’t know the color or religion of the suspect yet so chill out.
all this black on black crime smdh wait the weapon of choice is a bomb nm black people yall in the clear on this one
It's like he's massively insecure or something. And likely has been basically cutting deals with foreign governments to bail himself and his family out of bad real estate investment deals.
