“Shoot to kill.

Stopped in one hour..................”

True, but you would spend the rest of your life in prison for killing protected speces...

“we should make our country so business-friendly that Nike...”

That’s a nice thought, but in China urban land is government owned.

China simply has lower operating costs than the US ever could.

I’ve paid about $325 for building permits this year.

Insurance on rental housing units in Florida runs in the thousands of dollars annually per unit.

Even Republicans refuse to repeal the expensive PPACA.

It’s been years, but if they still have the 9th & Christian street markets, I bet they don’t rob there!

“we should make our country so business-friendly”

It costs roughly $12,000 to $25,000/year/student for public K-12 education in the USA on average by state.

Impact fees to build a house in some parts of the USA might run $25,000.

The naming list of requirements to build a house in a Florida county might be 24 pages long. I probably could not lift the books of regulations involved.

Florida is run by lawyers for the benefit of lawyers. The USA has long been a highly regulated country.

True that. Same goes with Vietnam, Mexico, etc. Could such a thing be somewhat balanced out by carefully applying tariffs?

When I graduated from high school many decades ago, I had my pick of good factory and mill jobs. Those factories and mills are all gone now.

What we have today are masses of people who have no access to work that would allow them to live a middle-class lifestyle. So they live on the dole. This cannot continue. Something’s gotta give.

Put me in charge and this will all stop within six months

I have an idea of something that could stop it in less than 5 minutes.

I don’t think most voters understand what they are really voting for, they vote for the campaign marketing. Look at NYC, those voters are shocked at the real meaning of hanging the sanctuary city mantra on their city. Now:

On the boats and on the planes

They're coming to America

Never looking back again,

They're coming to America

and NYC... Via the Biden a Travel Service....

There are a bunch of BLM and Pride flags in the east bench area of Sal Lake City. I like it when they identify themselves.

They don’t know what they’re voting for because we no longer (it’s been a while) teach critical thinking. Leftists are so dumbed down to the point they believe whatever the media and Democrats tell them.

That’s why they can’t be debated-—they have no critical thinking skills. No matter what you tell them (facts, figures, etc) they simply group think. To them, differing of opinion is an attack on them personally because they have no rebuttal because they can’t think on their own.

Critical thinking was stopped because Progressives don’t like free thinkers. Sadly, I don’t think it can be undone unless there’s:
A—Awakening to Christ
B—They destroy each other.

Nope, we should have simply NOT let African slaves into the new country at all. It would have prevented a ton of problems and saved lives in the process. The existing slaves could have remained, of course as their numbers were low.

What is their excuse for rioting this time? Was it just a Wednesday?

Don’t point weapons at cops unless you’ve got a damn good reason to. At a traffic stop... is not the time.

You WILL get shot.

Regardless of Race or creed.

This is no excuse to set everything on fire and steal from your neighbor.

Philly needs Rooftop Koreans and some Rittenhouse action.

Bringing Africans to these shores was a fatal mistake.

In some cities when a cop shoots a perp the family sues and the city pays millions. Tax payers money.

A lot of good points. Libs seem to want to belong to the group no matter what “the group” believes.
