Is this your first time seeing cops do something horrific? And at that point is this your first day in America? Cops do shit like this and much worse things constantly because who's gonna arrest the cops? Then if they do something bad enough to actually see any consequences the "consequences" are usually just a paid leave. They also have the strongest unions in the country with a massive budget to give these cops legal protection.

To be fair fireworks are kinda not fun for a lot of people and hard to just ignore if they're shaking your room, keeping you awake, making your pets lose their shit or if you're a veteran giving you ptsd flashbacks. By all means celebrate but maybe have fun in a way that doesn't force literally everyone within a certain radius to be involved?

Thank you thats the one I was trying to remember the name of. The owner of stick it in your ear recommended them and I've also had a buddy have his stuff fixed there

Probably needs a needle or the counterweight adjusted

It's not exactly as you wish unless they've changed things. It's forced hybrid 50/50.

I don't understand why you're saying this like it's a gotcha. Someone wanting to be nomadic is fine. But that changes literally nothing in terms of building shelters for the people that are homeless due to not being able to afford to survive in this country anymore. I also believe that part of the small group of homeless people that prefers being nomadic prefers it because there's zero point in trying to work 40 hours a week and survive off the low wages in this area with the skyrocketing rent and cost of living. So yeah some people are genuinely happiest being nomadic but let's be honest part of that is because of how incredibly difficult it is to be a "functional member of society" at this point. Shit if I wasn't fortunate enough to be able to squeeze into a spare room with a family member and help them out in return, then I'd have given into my own mental illness and just started living on the streets when I lost my job a few months ago. I would also probably think being homeless was better than when I had housing before in that case. Not having to deal with the stress of paying someone elses mortgage every month, or dealing with some dickhead boss or shitty job to not even have enough pay minimum bills and still buy food. Like yeah of course some people would rather live in a van it's much more feasible than taking part in "normal" society at this point and committing 5 or more days a week to slaving away for someone else.

Yeah we need to build more strip malls there's not enough empty ones in town already. Also in what world does literally anything cause rent to go down it's almost universally gone up over time. Some more random developments are not going to lower rent. We have plenty of overpriced apartments that sit half empty because no one can afford them. There's also not really a job shortage so much as there's a wage shortage. We don't need more jobs we need jobs that actually pay a living wage in the first place. I do agree that we do absolutely need more homeless shelters though fuck anyone that tries to say otherwise. People should be starving and freezing on the streets.

I'm not gonna lie I've considered starting a cult/church more than once. With the surplus of idiots tripping over each other to donate to churches as is, it's tempting to take advantage
