  1. the idea that black people are treated more harshly in the justice system is borne out by the numbers. the idea that they are ALWAYS treated more harshly is not true.
  2. why does the nba social justice director feel the need to issue a statement on this verdict?
  3. if your twitter feed says so. and "rolling back abortion rights" has nothing to do with saving democracy.
  4. https://cwbchicago.com/2021/11/men-raid-mag-mile-store-and-target-another-nearby-unfortunately-we-have-some-looting-going-on-south-side-alderman-says.html right across the street from chicago theater. suv rams a police car and they find an arsenal in the suv. 😉
  5. we'll see. correa will likely get more than 300.
  6. glenn youngkin is not going to take away democracy in virginia.
  7. i'd rather pay $300 million for correa than $250 million for baez because correa is better than baez.
  8. there could be a myles garrett at the end of the rainbow...
  9. a vote for terry mccauliffe is a vote to "save democracy"? lol.
  10. i dont expect a lot out of tim boyle, but after watching jared goff all season, i know that he should not be a starting nfl qb.
  11. just looking at the box score: 1) that's the warriors D+ team we just lost to at home. 2) why is saban lee on the team and not playing while corey joseph plays 30 minutes? 3) whither saddiq bey? it doesnt seem like he's been very good this season. 4) is stewart hurt? only 16 minutes.
  12. i agree.
  13. the democrats had to get their salt deduction back in there for all their california and new york donors. its another big government spending bill that will result in those invested in the stock market making more money. And just like every big government spending bill: those already in the system will continue to be able to live off the largesse of the american taxpayer.
  14. you just explained the exception to the rule.
  15. we do have the best medical system in the world, we just have a terrible way to pay for it, with all sorts of incentives to waste money and to protect the salaries and profits of those already in the system (like doctors, hospitals, and drug companies).
  16. well, i can give you a big long talk on people not finding individuals personally responsible for their own actions anymore. just take a look at any jury verdict reporter.
  17. there are a lot of problems with that chapter in freakonomics.
  18. i agree. although, i could see it in some blue states like cali.
  19. its such bullshit. they're not even hurt. people seem to forget that people pay good money to watch these guys play and then they rest them.
  20. the lockdown is now for everyone. after that lockdown is over, they are going to do a lockdown for unvaccinated people in conjunction with a national vaccine mandate. https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/19/europe/austria-national-lockdown-intl/index.html
  21. i didnt really follow the rittenhouse thing. what it points out to me is that all americans should get the same "reasonable doubt" that rittenhouse got. and that doesnt happen, and it especially doesnt happen to a lot of black americans.
  22. yes, thank goodness for those early 90s crime bills! lol. around here, crime was up in 2016, and then down in 2017-2019, then up again in 2020 and 2021. still, nothing like the crack era in major cities around the late 80s, early 90s. although i would bet that the murder rate in chicago would be a lot higher now if we still had early 90s level medical treatments.
  23. unless you're going to turn simmons into a center, he'd be taking the ball out of cade's hands and doing nothing to help with spacing. plus philly will want our first round pick next year. now that i think about it, can we trade our first round pick? its already potentially promised to houston.
