Yeah i dont think there is a silver bullet in general. I was basically pointing out there are things that can be done at local levels that arent even being looked into. Over regulation is a small part of a larger picture but people arent asking questions. Theres also private equity deciding to scoop up everything above market value. Crickets from both sides. On and on. One thing is for sure. The regulations have far exceeded actual saftey measures and has turned into a pay to play racket. There are plenty of examples. Heres one such explained if you got time to watch. I just feel there are alot of people who go into higher education for the wrong reasons and parents are still under the outdated illusion a degree equals high income or are just neglegent to actual salaries. College is a giant industry that will offer rediculous degrees and zero bars to hurdle to get in. Im perfectly fine if someone wants to get a historical philosophy degree, switch majors 50 times racking up bills, or live on campus that doubles the price just to get the "real experience" . Drown in your decisions but at some point you are going to have to point these things out and yes, prevent people from making those types of decisions if you dont want a generation drowning in debt before they start their "careers". The interest, again, is just a small part of a bigger problem. We are giving out guarenteed loans that skyrocket demand so schools are going to pass out anything to supply and just keep racking in the cash. You were the one worried about the future you were leaving. My idea would be hold colleges more responsable for job placement. If they cannot land a kid in a field then they eat the cost. It would drop the endless nonsense degrees. We agree on tarffis. as i wrote to redtail at least its a attempt. Not seeing any others so far. how can you not blame the other side when their policies exasperate issues? Millions of people let in that need housing is a pretty good start to effect the market. I think ive gone into a long enough rant to go into details further on that front.

Like i said its a attempt, which is a tad more then what ive seen in the past. Maybe it dents the trend or maybe not. I wasnt for obama care but for decades i heard how med costs were going to crush america. Republicans had no response but to complain so i settled into its at least a attempt to address a oncoming truck we are going to be demolished by. Seems about now impact is setting in. so someone better attempt something else. Im hearing crickets from both sides on that and even less on affordability, college and housing. To pretend dems have a solution thats better then 50 year morgages when paying trillions of student loans, having cash and housing givaways to illegals, and keeping the country flooded with foreign products cause "tariffs wont work" isnt a good retort to trumps agenda. When they have some solid ideas, ill listen. bi+(in and complaining has always been good response to problems to the ideologically captured. Not much else is necessary

Id say if you want to change things like morgage pricing you have to look into regulations that are suffercating building them. I live in new york and its well known that blue areas are over regulated to the point its worthless to even try without having another half of the building cost set aside for numerous inspection/ permit / survey / enviromental impact groups. This seems like state issues that need the people to address to there leaders, but they wont, because opposing such gov interventions means you are republican. What you want people to live in unsafe homes? What you want to harm the endangered gophers that reside on the building land? When it comes to college i think gov being involved in guaranteed loans is the problem. In that case you would have to start denying people that A) dont seem like a good fit or B) are going into a profession that has zero chance to pay it back. Again i think democrats would lose their minds if there were barriers, logical or not, to denying upper education to people. Its why we have so many usless majors and and prices skyrocket. Supply and demand. Everyone can get in for any reason and its all guarenteed by the gov. As for the economy. I agree its shot. At least tariffing is a way to force people to consider american manufacturing based on price if its effective. It certainly isnt quality of product. That pride went to profit awhile ago. Its definitely isnt a sense of keeping fellow americans buisness and jobs going. Noone cares. Dems are opposing even those rationalities. Everyone wants the cheapest version and who cares From what i seen from presidents its at least a attempt to push scales in american manufacturing direction. It certainly wasnt NAFTA. So while id like it to be targeted its at least a attempt. Im 100% with you on 50 year morgages and such being a incredibly lazy way to deal with a issue. Its most likely going to make it worse as people who otherwise could not afford a house jump in to make the market worse with little regard to them never actually buying it. But i didnt hear anything at all from the other side the 4 years they were in power and seems more gov oversight somehow forcing price fixing such as ny mayors gov stores and rent freezes are a way to address the problem which is just as useless and lazy.

Hyperbole? I included videos of it happening and muslims thoughts on sharia law lol. Like i said i expect non answer and deflections. Weak.

Your right. Alot of sectors of our gov are built around religious teachings. Mostly Christianity since that was the dominate religion of the people who developed the laws in our country. They go hand in hand regardless of "fictional" seperation. Im not sure if you said the pledge of allegence or looked at a dollar bill latley but it woven in to gov architecture. This is well known and a fool thinks there is complete seperation. The majority of peoples morals and beliefs is going to shape society including its laws. THAT WAS THE BASE OF MY QUESTIONS you proceeded to haphazardly deflect away from. Most likely because its uncomfortable to answer because it conflicts with your worldview on what bigotry and racism means. Not going to rewrite the questions but if you can answer id be interested in how you go about actually giving them. Seeing as Sharia law conflicts with leftist ideology but you also need to white knight against the MAGAs that america should conform to their culture and beliefs. It is a tough position to deal with when it could end up with laws where women must be fully covered or lgbt representation is under attack. I fully expect you to ignore or deflect this again. Its ok.

Id argue church bells waking everyone up at 5 a.m. would be equally disruptive and a problem that citizens complain about. Racism would not be a reason to want to stop bells that early anymore then loudspeaker calls for prayer, of coarse one of them is labeled it. Sounds like you accepting of new cultures injecting their traditions into american society. Curious to see how deep that goes. Do you think if a muslim majority is injected into a area and votes that sharia law must be upheld. Should citizens regardless of beliefs and background have to follow it? do you agree with muslims banning and attacking lgbt flags in the cities they are in? After all it is their culture to reject such things.

What do you mean by left/right ideology? There is a difference between someone commiting political violence and a nutcase who just happens to vote a certain way. Ive pointed out two examples. Political rhetoric that leads followers to believe committing murder is justified to protect oneself and factions of that party that celebrate it because they believe the exact same thing. I havent seen anything suggesting this was "right wing violence" besides a shirt and maybe a sign on his fence. If thats is a factor then every murder will fall into one camp or the other...we only have 2 parties. As for concentration camps. I wouldnt say that. Id say if the murder of someone who has done nothing to you or your family brings a person so much joy and happiness that they are compelled to set up a camera and express it to the world. id rather they self check themselves into a phyc ward.

Can you please explain which time period it was taught and encouraged to young children? How many years ago was it established that society must be responsible to know and acknowledge random pronouns and identities of every person around them? Where basic fundamental differences between the sexes were denied despite scientific facts? The vast majority is fully aware and doesnt care one way or another about someones personal identity. Whats new is a faction of people who think a majority of people ( straight white ) are out to "erase the trans" if you arent for your daughter competing/ undressing / and being taught about them by a stranger. If you arent ready to address another human as whatever they desire at any time then you are a "hateful transphobe". How far back does that phenomenon go?

People in mass have cut through the quick edits of videos and name calling that the left repeatedly use to demonize everyone they disagree with. We have common sense enough to not believe the idiotic narrative they tryed to push on what made the killer commit the act. Its beyond worn out tactics at this point with same suspects and outlets. over and over and over. He was just a guy who was peacefully expressing his opinions and was murdered for them. the fact you dont understand is not suprising but it isnt sitting well with rational people. He was meaningful for many for his speech but more meaningful in the fact that everyone is sick and tired this s#!t.

I read a good quote recently. Liberals are angry about people losing their jobs over their speach while republicans are angry about someone losing his life for it. In the end people need to try to get a grain of dignity back. If you want every waking thought to be public then dont be suprised when the really bad ones causes a public backlash. I have no issues with flat out racists losing their jobs as much as sick people who celebrate murder. I think society cross checking them out of their online bubbles into unemployment and reality sets standards normal people sgould already have. In the end its healthy if used on extreme cases. The problem is each side gets a taste of power and then things spiral. Celebrating murder devolves into anyone that disagrees. Same as true racists devolved into people dressing in holloween costumes and ect ect. One thing i know. I dont want gov oversight over speach of anyone unless it strictly involves death threats or breaks laws already on the books. That is a road we are again getting dangerously close to.

That was incredibly stupid thing to just blurt out. The irony is that the same people who will be using this to fuel rage as "what they all really think" are the same ones that advocated for the decriminalization of hard drug markets to go along with open boarders policies ⁸for mass fentanyl distribution.

So what happened during "Operation Legend"? Thats a pretty dangerous city goose of the chi. How about when he sent them into portland when they were trying to lock people in and burn them alive. How about california when people were tossing giant blocks of concrete off of highway over passes. Let us know exactly what parts of a city and which crimes being committed its ok to have federal backup for. I know youve grown accustomed to wrist slapping but having a show of force and harsh federal penalties puts idiots on notice across ENTIRE cities that liberal touchy feely revolving door policies might not be the next punishment....thats called a deterrent.
