Some areas look like the Third World in the US. I’d tell you what they have in common, but I don’t think Roosevelt would like me telling you (the mentally handicapped one, that is. The physically handicapped one would say it is common sense)

Democrats = College education = higher incomes. The states led by Democrats is where all the money is in this country. Red states are poor, rural, farmers and religious kooks.Republicans are hicks from the sticks, ball cap wearing, gun toting, pickup driving, high school educated losers. They are the blue collar, white grievance crowd and they have anxiety about falling out of the middle class.
Ah yes, the people without value are those that *checks notes* grow your food and do blue collar work like fix the plumbing in your 3k/month 400sq ft studio apartment

It’s obvious you don’t believe the KKK is evil. You think they are simply “Responding in a non-suicidal manner to your environment isn’t racism”
No, I’m not a Kluxer. But I think that White Flight was self-defense on the part of the parents leaving. I wouldn’t want my kids being beaten and stabbed at school. I’d move too

1. Blacks are an inferior race of human beings.2. Blacks have been subjected to systemic racism for hundreds of years in this country.Which do you believe is true?
First off, I prefer the term ‘differently abled’, not ‘inferior’
Why are those positions mutually exclusive?
Can’t it be the case that, yes, there was discrimination in the past and that there are also biological differences that will never lead to every group achieving the same average level of success in life?

Don’t blame the racists? See number 63 above dummy.
I think the major dummy move is blaming wypipo for every problem in the world.
It’s their own fault they have no tax base. Maybe people left the city to get away from undesirable levels of crime and soon-to-be violent schools for their kids. Responding in a non-suicidal manner to your environment isn’t racism.
And anyways, $3 million > $0. I don’t think the evil kluxers in the legislature would give $3 million dollars to blacks
The city can’t even currently bill most of its residents correctly even after winning a multi-million dollar lawsuit…. I think the problem goes a lil deeper than ‘gibs us money’ for a fix. 18 months to fix meters? Unimaginable incompetence

Because if the water is unsafe - the city, who bills the residents, would be the ones to notify the people.

You must be visually impaired, so I’ll paste this again.
Usually public systems are managed by utilities that are owned by a city or county
53,000 community water systems. “Highly fragmented”
Roosevelt fetishists love centralization, but that isn’t how water treatment works
Now, you silly dum dum, why would the EPA give a letter addressing the mayor of Jackson and “the city of Jackson” for its inspection of the “City of Jackson Public Water System” if the city wasn’t in charge of the water system?
The city can’t even make sure it’s meters are running correctly. Don’t blame red voters for a blue city’s blue leadership full of (mostly) employees once again screwing up something as crucial as providing clean water

Do you really think that the whole state is in personally running hundreds of water treatment plants and hundreds of public water systems? Lol
Do you really think each state has hundreds of water and sewer plants, one for each city and town in the state?
Yes, I do. There are over 16000 wastewater treatment plants in US

If you are looking for wealthy POC in the south, it is highly unlikely you will find them in a Democrat-run city.
I’m sure Jackson’s diverse political class are doing quite well for themselves.
Jackson leadership allows violent crime, corruption of all services, and mismanagement at every level. The people of Jackson don't take care of their own communities and then blame it on "racism"People do not leave cities because of racism, they leave cities when they are destroyed by Democrat managers.
Everything except a South Africa-esque system is racism. White flight from violent crime is racism. Reparations from Whites leaving Jackson should be MANDATORY 💅

That doesn’t help them build a water and sewer system does it? Because people don’t make much money and taxes are low, the state can’t afford basic infrastructure. So they have to beg the federal government for help to take money from blue states and give it to the red states. Cheap housing doesn’t help the governor build a new water system. Food, electricity, clothing, cost just as much in Mississippi as California.
Seems more like blue voters voting for incompetent leadership that can’t even provide the most basic of services for its citizens. Not the whole state’s fault that a city can’t manage water utilities.
Why do these damn socialists always vote for people that lead to shortages???

@IwantRooseveltagain
You know as well as I do that you don’t have to be in poverty to be poor. White people in Mississippi may not meet the Federal government definition of poverty but they are still poor. The median household income there is 46,500 compared to 67,500 for the country
These average metrics are borderline meaningless. Mississippi has the lowest cost of living of any state. If you made 46,500 (or the federal median for that matter) in NYC, you’d be dirt poor. However, if you made the median income for the country in Mississippi, you could probably live in a nice suburb.
While it is a poor state, adjusting for their low cost of living index score makes it come out to ~$55,800 income

o you are saying that the purpose for a constitutional amendment was so obvious that nobody talked about it?
The whole nation was entrenched in a massive war fought by citizens with guns, whereas the idea of something more abstract such as free speech might not be as readily apparent.
However, do you in any way disagree with the DC v Heller decision's grammatical interpretation of the 2nd Amendment? Because that is that whole discussion about prefatory and operative clauses: it is dissecting the meaning based on the meaning of the words as written.
Is the second clause not operative? Does the prefatory clause impact that clause? Why? That very Amendment is the most convincing evidence of their stance on gun rights. Why the obsession with outside quotes to prove it?

"The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms."
- Samuel Adams, Massachusetts Ratifying Convention, 1788
The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to to John Cartwright, 5 June 1824
"This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty.... The right of self defense is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction."
- St. George Tucker, Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, 1803

Do you really believe that it isn't possible that the sentiment of an individual right to a gun was so ubiquitous that this could explain a lack of discussion about how people should own guns for self defense?
Created:
Posted in:

@n8nrgim
I don't see how gun control isn't directly related. If the founding fathers were big advocates of gun control on non-militia citizens, then that would disprove their intention of the individual right. While a lack of such legislation doesn't definitively prove anything, it at the very least highly suggests that they had a belief in an individual right.

The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. Provisions of the Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975 infringe an individual's right to bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment. United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed.
District of Columbia vs Heller
The initial prefatory clause announces a purpose that doesn't affect the scope of the operative clause that says our right to bear arms shall not be infringed.

73.4% of Jackson residents voted Democrat in the last presidential election. That's a higher percentage than California. Sounds like money will be going primarily to the benefit of blue voters to me.

@Double_R
We're not a company, where every action can be objectively scrutinized by analyzing its impact on shareholder value. Elections determine who we are as a people, as a society.
It isn’t even that simple for companies. They have ESG ratings, which are highly subjective and debatable in importance.
Now what does better outcomes look like? There are many measures such as inflation rate, GDP growth, poverty rate, violent crime rates, number of terrorist attacks, and other measures that are all fairly objective that are all resulting from policy choices. Not all are achievable at once and not all are equally important at any given time, but better outcomes looks like achieving some combination of these and similar objectives at higher rates than before.
The more people left out of that process the less and less we can say that the people are determining their own fate, which is supposed to be the whole point of holding an election.
Ok, but hypothetically speaking in a vacuum, if we could half the poverty rate and half the amount of people voting, would you say that’s bad because the ‘people’ didn’t choose that fate?

@Double_R
You can expect anything you want, putting it in practice is another matter entirely
Yeah I definitely wouldn’t expect any change regarding what I mentioned within a century. It seems that the idea that mass democracy is an inherent good is just instinctively ingrained in virtually everybody and would remain so for a minimum of at least three generations.
Mainly just idle speculation. Closest thing possible is just making sure people are competent and industrious enough to get a voting ID.
My father did not graduate high school and was by all means illiterate. I used to have to read him his mail. That didn't stop him from despite coming from nothing, amassing a real estate portfolio that by the time he died was worth over $2 million. He's been dead for 15 years now, yet his wife and 6 kids to this day still get checks from his accomplishments.
There are always definitely outliers, but the idea is to focus on the most common cases of people that don’t finish high school and can’t read. A handful of them are very successful, but that is so far from the mean, that the outliers don’t make the idea bad. Maybe literacy isnt the best test, but it is probably one of the better vetting choices for the ability to be informed if one is so inclined to be.
And as far as being informed goes, could you of the top of your head tell me the flight numbers of the 4 plains on 9/11? The times they crashed? The whereabout of various pubic officials? The messages left by the victims?You know who could tell you all of this? 9/11 truthers. So it turns out the people "most informed" of the events of that day also tend to be the people who think the twin towers collapsed not because of the plane crashes and ensuing fires, but because of a carefully crafted controlled demolition using thermite bombs.
No, I think that informedness wouldn’t be a primary measure as far as issues go. I don’t think you could have a non-biased version of that kind of informedness
I think that knowing what your candidate’s stances are, however, would be useful. Just simple things. Do they want to raise or lower taxes, how do they plan to deal with illegal immigration, abortion beliefs, and other major election issues.
Earlier you said uniformed people make bad decisions that impact everyone else, but every vote impacts everyone else so who are you to determine that your vote impacting them is ok but their vote impacting you is not?
I think that having 80% of people eligible to vote voting versus 60% isn’t necessarily better. It may lead to better results, and it may also lead to worse results.
I think getting hung up on this idea of democracy as a some axiomatic good instead of simply being a system that tends to lead to better outcomes is a mistake.
There are hierarchies at companies, in families, in clubs, in schools, and countless other organizations. We believe that some people based on their experience, education, or other trait make them more inclined to make better decisions. It is something that is universally recognized, but it becomes a sensitive topic where votes are concerned.
The bar doesn’t need to be super high, but I think that nothing other than living 18 years is a bit too low.

@zedvictor4
So relative to your opinion, would this be a worthless, uninformed result?
Maybe, maybe not. In this hypothetical election, did voters know what the key issues of each candidates’ platform was? Are they literate?
I’m not right on everything. I might vote for someone who does worse. I’m speaking about the process more so than the result: do the people voting at least have the capabilities of making a good choice.

@Double_R
Crazy how the notion of one person one vote is "controversial"...
It is kinda crazy if you think about it.
Most people can’t even make good, informed choices regarding their own lives. Then that is applied to a system letting them impact hundreds of millions of other peoples’ lives on the sole basis of having not died in their first 18 years of living.
Voting is nice an all, but I can’t help but feel that uninformed voting is worse than uninformed people not voting. Some vetting would be nice, but I am going to wager a guess that expecting that voters should be able to read at an 8th grade level or pass high school or speak English is the “controversial” position

Man, the smallest bit of scrutiny on racial issues really makes leftards become unhinged.
“Maybe we should consider that genetics may also be a factor that leads to group disparities”
“Oh so you want to genocide people for looking different, huh?”
As to a full and honest account of racial and genetic differences, the white man is the greatest bastard in all of history. No denying it. Really don't see where you're going with that. Show me what part of the white man's brain has facilitated these immense cruelties we're responsible for.
And this pitiful self-hatred among white lefties is probably a large factor leading to their astronomical rates of mental illness.
If I felt constant chagrin for things I didn’t do, I’d probably have depression and anxiety too

really ?
what's the goddamned point of telling people a person of darker skin-tone is "25 times more likely" to physically attack a person of lighter skin-tone
unless you're trying to scare them into thinking they are going to be attacked by someone with a darker skin-tone
It is a comment that is generally in response to a claim of black victim hood by evil white people. But it is rather startling that, whenever the two groups are within the same proximity, the violence is very one-sided.
This is the reason for white flight. And in fact, if neighborhoods were less segregated, I wouldn’t at all be surprised if more whites were murdered by other races than their own

you can't figure out how to fire a warning shot ?
I think that the real issue here is that the criminal couldn’t figure out how to stop trying to use a taser against a cop. The officer even said ‘please’.
But many police departments don’t allow warning shots. And based on a life-or-death struggle where you’re trying to keep a large man on the ground, you might not be able to aim wherever you so please

Rates of white-on-white and Black-on-Black homicide are similar, at around 80% and 90%Overall, most homicides in the United States are intraracial, and the rates of white-on-white and Black-on-Black killings are similar, both long term and in individual years.Between 1980-2008, the U.S. Department of Justice found that 84% of white victims were killed by white offendersand 93% of Black victims were killed by Black offenders. [**]so,you are still significantly more likely to be murdered by a person of your same "race"
Nobody denies this. But when interracial violence does happen, it is almost always in the direction of black-on-white vs the other way around. Yet somehow the narrative is that the people committing the violence are somehow the victim
