Thank you, this is a much better overview of the facts of the case. The sentence feels a bit harsh but I guess it was a conspiracy to break the law.
I remember when I was young I got ticketed for trespassing on public property. I was so offended. Yet that’s the society we live in. Public resources aren’t for use by the public, they are for use by the small fraction of the public who control them.
I’m confused about what law was actually broken here.
Assuming the poll is designed correctly it should be plenty.
So you think the vacancy rate in expensive areas is 50%? That is extremely wrong.
You mean data are plural.
Not really. Criticism of her positions, including on Gaza, is valid. But the VP has almost no power. And there’s really nothing to be done about grocery prices at this point. Falling prices are generally considered to be very damaging to the economy and would likely cause worse problems. And there’s not really any mechanism by which the executive branch could achieve this anyway.
Inflation is now 2.5%. That’s pretty normal. So there really isn’t any food price issue to solve at this point. The real question is: how will her policies affect wages? And what’s the plan to address the housing crisis which in my view is the real problem that is hurting people right now.
Does OP actually think the VP can unilaterally lower grocery prices? Lol
Actually there was a time when some wealthy American businessmen hired a private army and tried to take the country over. They succeeded in conquering Nicaragua but the Costa Ricans fought them off. This is the basis of their main national holiday.
Yeah I was pretty shocked at how widespread his defenders were. Regardless of whether what he did was technically self defense or not, it’s clear he’s a bloodthirsty right-wing fanatic. There’s no need to defend his public image, even if you agree with the verdict.
The worst thing is I’ve never consented to them having my DNA but they have half of it anyway thanks to my brother…
It was for staying too late in a public park. It was meant to be closed after dark. I overstayed by like an hour.
I think there’s a big difference between breaking and entering and trespassing. Going into a restricted area is more like the latter. Although there’s the whole ethics of a prison to consider as well but I don’t want to get into that.
But yes there may be a small number of situations where public access should be forbidden but right now that’s a minority of all of the completely unnecessary restrictions that exist.
