Leave it to the internet to normalize the fringes 🙁

[quote=flu][quote=SK in CV]I think you skipped a step in your explanation. The qualifying charitable organizations should be organizations that are already getting state funding. Like schools. Arizona has some that aren’t currently funded by the state (like private schools, whose funding I personally strongly oppose, and would hate to see California include them in qualifying organizations). But most of the organizations are things the state is either already funding or reasonably could fund. I do not know whether the state reduces funding based on the amount of direct contributions, but there are some credits that are limited in total dollar amount.[/quote]

Fair enough…. Anyway, this is just a big game….Consider it a hobby, outside of when I’m driving. I just think it’s interesting how people’s fortunes can change simply by a few line item changes.

A few weeks ago, a few folks bent out of shape concerning the tax reform was pondering could could the state strike back at these tax reforms….

In principle, here’s a strategy that might work. Where are all you folks that want to effect change and want CA to screw the fed back? Are you going to help ask our state representatives to do something? SK is in Arizona, so his state already does something about it… He’s excused :)[/quote]

Imo the best way to screw back is to get folks more riled up about their lies and vote them out of office #whereismyraise

Ah, but who should be grateful and who should not, and for what…should we never ask for more than what some think we “deserve” given our station in life? Poor, poor,ungrateful people.

I didn’t say I’m not grateful. I said I am grateful. I’m grateful to random chance. Seriously. I have a lot of wonderful things in my life. And they’re all due to random chance. Random chance has been very, very good to me.

I’m aware that I’m lucky. I’m lucky I was born a white, intelligent, good-looking (when I was younger) male to upper-class parents in the United States in the middle of the twentieth century. Those are seven huge advantages, and I’m not responsible for any of them. Random chance is.

I’m aware that I wouldn’t have the life I have now without random chance being good to me. And I am thankful for that.[/quote]

Wow this is pretty much my life philosophy

Used bimmers are cheap – you can get a 2014 528 with about 25k miles for under 30 grand.

Flyer you shoulda named your thread gun proliferation and real estate. It is clear now that gun proliferation has not made us safer. If attempts to limit arms have no effect why are we beefing with North Korea and Iran?

[outtamojo]

You can say gun control don’t work but the flip side of Vegas was that gun proliferation as a defense didn’t work either. Open carry, legal automatic weapons – none of that resulted in a single bullet going the other way. Internet tough guy Bilzerian could not even squeeze off a shot http://www.denverpost.com/2017/10/03/las-vegas-shooting-dan-bilzerian-instagram/

Poor cops are going to get killed standing around trying to figure out who the bad guys are.

[quote=spdrun]And some kid shoots off fireworks and gets blown up by drones?[/quote]

They don’t have to shoot deadly munitions, just anything you can think of that would slow down a shooter.

[outtamojo]

I would rather entrust my life to an army of drones hooked up to a shotspotter system than an army of Sean hannitys likely to shoot the first person who doesn’t look American enough.

Shotspotter is publicly tradeable btw,SSTI, buyer beware : )

I live in fear that someday the hospital where I earned my pension will be taken over by one of the church affiliated hospital chains.

I wonder how these pure ev’s would do in an evacuation scenario- I mean what if the grid became damaged…

Congrats

Feeling I got from coworker was that writing BLM was the ONLY thing that got him into Stanford. She then went on to say don’t let your kids to Berkeley they will turn them into kooks.
All sad really, as I have known this person for 26 years now and she was in the beginning all kindness and compassion, now all I sense is anger in her. I blame fox news, they know their audience and how to persuade THEM.[/quote]

Did you ever meet the husband?
My experience is that right-wing women have right wing husbands. It’s the loyalty thing.
Fox News got to your woman colleague through her husband.

Sad to say but right-wing women don’t believe in equal lib. They happily submit to their husbands, husbands who are too insecure to have self-sufficient wives.

Ha, don’t let your kids go to Berkeley! More likely, her kids aren’t smart enough to get in.

The bitterness and insecuty cause people to seize on ah ha news to prove that they are being screwed by minorities and elitists who favor furiners over real Americans. It’s easier to think this way than to improve themselves. Fox News feeds them the news so that everyday they can go “ah ha, see, see they are screwing us of what is rightfully ours.”[/quote]

They got their hooks into her not thru her hubby but with their diatribes about religious freedom and persecution of christians.
