@Free_Press , I'm not sure about that. Trump massively increased farm subsidies when he tried to have a trade war with China. Lots of republicans love farm subsidy socialism.

Spring is springing

I want to thank Ben Stein for trending. I learned today that Aunt Jemima was not a historic figure who started a mulling company, but was just more fucking racism.

@NurseStacey , my gods I love people like that. I hope one day to grow up and be like that.

@Sunny @TonyStark I question the motives of something like this. It seems like a way to get rid of programs they can't get rid of with an open vote. Social Securuty, Medicare, ADA, EPA, FDA, etc. But the idea isn't bad. We have old Marijuana laws, old laws about hanging underwater on Sundays, laws about how you can beat your wife, etc. I wouldn't mind getting rid of bad laws. I propose rather than sunseting every law, it becomes part of the law that each law is sunsetted if it doesn't prove effective. Every law must include intent, and a method to test its effectiveness.

@jorsh , I might as well promote my pet theory that Elizabeth Hurley should be the next Doctor Who.

@AmishSuperModel @gordoooo_z , you honestly believe that the issue has been studied, and the root cause is "access"? Even when presented with the indisputable fact that women, 50% of the population, have equal access, and do not commit these atrocities?? And you refuse to consider other options? Am I understanding you correctly? This doesn't give you even some brief pause?? If I'm misunderstanding you, feel free to correct me. But I don't think I'm misreading your posts.

@jorsh I still want that Jag...

@AmishSuperModel @gordoooo_z , I have no profit motive to lie...

@AmishSuperModel @gordoooo_z , you. My congressman. My senators. My local committee man. The guy I met at a bar one night. My coworkers. My bosses. My employees.

@AmishSuperModel @gordoooo_z I assume no solutions. I suggest it is very likely a lack of health care. I don't know providing healthcare will solve the problem, but I assume if it does, it will take several generations. Too bad we didn't start the process 50 years ago, eh? At this point, we refuse to even study the issue.

@AmishSuperModel @gordoooo_z I have advocated that research for decades.

@AmishSuperModel @gordoooo_z , again, I BELIEVE it to be a lack of mental health care. I stated that the very 1st post I made in this thread, and the last post before this one. I know it isn't access to guns. I know it isn't machine guns. I know it isn't immigrants. I also know as long as we blame something or someone it isn't, we will never address the problem. My deep suspicion is that systemic sexism and racism keeps us from honestly addressing the problem.

@AmishSuperModel @gordoooo_z , the Swiss have a sub machine gun in almost every home. Canadians have tons of rifles. Yes, the USA has the greatest access, and STILL women do not engage in atrocities.

I'm not sure what you are trying to argue here. Do you think American women DO commit mass shootings in numbers representative of their population numbers?

@AmishSuperModel @gordoooo_z I will say that nations with universal health-care, and access to weapons, do not have the same issues we have. This not proof it is a health care issue, but it's pretty damn persuasive.

@AmishSuperModel @gordoooo_z , easy access is obviously not the problem. Women in America have easy access to guns, yet do not commit these atrocities. This is blatantly obvious. Our failure to address the mental health of the population that does do these crimes I BELIEVE is the root problem, but I advocate POTUS demanding that the CDC research this issue to be sure.

@ocsweetest in means my pyramid scheme and insider trading is being looked at, and I need a lawyer?
