    There’s a reason for that Einstein. You’re probably always speeding. Most people are. I drive at or even well under speed limits because it saves up to 30% on gas which I’ve discussed before on these forums. Trust me… cops stop people for “radar” violations when they are not in fact speeding. How can we get this far in life and not realize these are shakedowns. They don’t care about safety, they don’t care about speeding, they care about lining pockets with roadside cash. 

    What is the reason for that Newton, given I quit getting stopped when I quit speeding?

     

    Wat that you doing 60 in the right lane? Why buy a car when you can’t afford to put gas in it? Hey, get you a BYD EV, they’re really really cheap and cost almost nothing to drive.

    You’ve obviously never been stopped at one of these. They repeat the word “radar” to you over and over again but there are no radar guns in sight. And they might even change your infraction once you have a couple of questions about the “radar”

    I’ve been here almost 25 years, an in that time I’ve probably driven a million Km, and I have been stopped countless times. I think I have only been stopped once when I might not have been speeding or whatnot. 

     

    Actually, I used to get stopped regularly, but since I quit speeding and changing lanes too close to the intersection and cutting across solid lines, it stopped.

     

    Coincidence?

    It's a crime because the authorities might see it as shameful, get them out of societies way, you know the society that failed them, alcoholics, drug addicts, and the homeless ones on the streets, can't have that, move along nothing to see here.

    It’s only the “authorities” that it hurts?

    Giving to a beggar is a choice, I give when I see it fit, because I have a choice, when and if, your luck is down and out, I do hope someone does give to you, because being a hard a$$ to me serves no purpose in life, but each to their own, like I said, it's a choice.

    Feeding the pidgins…

    I also don't judge as it's not my place.

    Yet you seem to be doing just that.

     

    You judge the drug addict on the street as a victim, and the people that don’t like it as victimizers.

    One has to sympathise with these people, they get pressured into taking drugs, take them for whatever reason and get hooked and then cant stop.

    While I sympathize with them, how are they pressured into taking drugs?

    Interesting.Trump. The convicted  rapist with dozens of other claims of sexual assault. Openly brags of his method of sexual assaults. Denies then but during his legal depositions in his rape trial admits and justifies it 

     

    Also interesting . Biden. No legal allegations. Only wild claims from a stolen diary pushed on right-wing conspiracy sites. 

    Why would someone steal a phony diary? 

     

    And why would someone be arrested for stealing a phony diary. 

     

    Your claim that Trump is a convicted rapist is not true.

    You need to get a new calculator.

     

    Pre-pandemic, employment was 158.7 million.  When Biden was inaugurated, it was 149.8M.  Today, it's 161.5M. 

     

    8.9M Covid jobs came back (158.7 - 149.8), out of the 11.7M jobs that Biden claims to have added (161.5 - 149.8).  Meaning Biden only added 2.8M new jobs (161.5 - 158.7).  The vast majority of them (76%) are just Covid jobs coming back.  And that was my claim.

     

    To make it worse, that's all jobs, part and full time.  It's worse for full time jobs.  And devastating for American born workers, who have gained no jobs since Mid 2022.

     

    Not to mention, he's added somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 million "newcomer" workers.  But only 2.8M new jobs.  Yet, they claim unemployment is down?  That must be the new math.

    All jobs:

    For full time jobs:

    And 40% of Biden’s “new” jobs are from growing government. 

     

    Meanwhile, tax revenues are down…
