I cant decide if the reasons there are so few homeless women compared to men is because men are sexual predators and take advantage of women in that situation and "help" in exchange for sex. Or if the world just cares more about the safety of women than men.... I am leaning more towards the former thant he latter here but I suspect it is a bit of both.

@admitsWrongIfProven And the person along with it... it will be banksy's ultimate finale, getting the entire human race to buy his shirt and then shredding the whole human race collectively the second they refuse to give one to a cold homeless person

Someone needs to make a T-shirt that just says "Obey the cloud"

@asymco @owasow

You disagreed with me but then countered with something unrelated (no biggie just confused).

I said its more expensive if you actually calculate per square foot... what does that have to do with the per unit price?

@Gina glad to see you made it ok. You looking for a job down there?

@realcaseyrollins It would be trickier to do it right but yea that could work if there is care taken to make sure the pool is big enough

@realcaseyrollins so the lawyer would change everyday? That could work but the pool would have to be pretty large to not allow a lot of repeats that serves the same problem. Afterall we already see whole police departments where cops will cheat to protect another cop who isnt their partner

@realcaseyrollins

In some areas I lived cops ride alone but there are rtules they need a second cop present to make a stop. So they would stop you then wait for a second cop to arrive before continuing. It would be like that but a lawyer instead of a cop as the backup

@realcaseyrollins That was my first thought. My fear would be if they ride around together they will form a friendship and therefore be biased to not defend the clients to the best of their abilities.

@volkris Sure but they will also be happy to not pay the bail and sit in jail for a year just for the free meal and free pay... stay long enough your paid more than they fine you at some point.

@volkris Ok yea I guess you could do that, especially if someone else controls the money that isnt a cop friend or something.. But I still think the only result of that will be more money spent and nothing solved... and a lot of people running down the street naked begging to be arrested :)

My birthday is in 4 days. In case anyway was wondering I wear a size 5.56 NATO.

@volkris Thats exactly my point, salaries always must be paid first legally speaking so the only consequence will be there is nothing left to pay the people in the end.

@owasow

I'd be willing to bet the price per square foot for a car is in fact much much higher than for people.

@asymco

@ech hahah I have brief moments of clarity from time to time, best we dont squander them :)

And from what little I know I'd agree there.

@volkris They just wont fire people, they will let their budget go to 0 and then they wont be able to afford peoples "compensation". Cant pay people their compensation if its all gone on salary first.

@ech

> I've been wondering this also – he said things like "We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore." in the speech right before. To people who think everything Trump does is axiomatically evil, this is an obvious smoking gun. But, of course, that is embarrassingly absurd: lots of politicians regularly use metaphors like that in their rhetoric.

Thats my thinking. On the surface it is no unusual than any other politicians language at rallies. That said I wouldnt be surprised if Trump intended a riot secretly, it would be like him, but thats not proof and I care more about what is objectively true than what I think about him... So I am very curious if there is any solid evidence or if its just "come on man, you know the dude is evil", even if he is.

> From what I've heard, it's pretty clear he didn't want any violence or do anything to try to make that happen. He just wanted a protest outside the Capitol building: "we're going to the Capitol, and we're going to try and give... them (republican senators) the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country." and "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."

On the surface I agree, there is an argument to be made that publicly he made choices that show he was not inciting violence... Though again i am mostly curious about what may have came out in court regarding his intent that was not public. It would not surprise me if people have testified or recordings uncovered where he did intend a riot. If that exists I'd like to know, if not I may not like it but I'd have to admit that a court shouldnt have cause, no matter how much I dislike him or suspect his motives. Evidence is all that matters.

@volkris the problem is the cops wont care about time wasted, the department might but individual cops are like toddlers, they arent thinking that far ahead.

I doubt a department would act against the officer eitherthey will just demand the extra cost stops them from doing their job, go over budget and let the tax payers sort it out like they already do.

Ya know, it would be nice if every time a cop had any contact with a suspected criminal (after they are detained or before any qwuestions are asked) everyone got a freee lawyer on the spot. Something has to be done to keep these cops in check and stop them from constantly threatening with the color of law and getting away with it.
