"I am ally of the women here."

You're a vocal opponent of abortion rights yet you claim to be an ally to women?

Yes. There is NO contradiction.

You think Amy Coney Barrett wants women to have the right to abort their children in utero? She is a woman. What, does her position on abortion make her an enemy of herself?

There were many Jews who collaborated with the Nazi’s.

Sonderkomando were what they were (slave labor) because they figured they were dead either way and hoped that if they administered the chlorine canisters at the showers, ran the kilns, and burned the dead jews, that they would be killed LAST. And if they are LAST then there is hope that the Soviets, the British, or the Yankees, could kill their prison guards and save them. And that is largely what happened. But they knew what they were doing, was wrong.

Amy believes what she is doing, is right. She is not trying to be last. She wants to be the first woman to even END abortion. World of difference DS.

Thanks, Adolph.

Thanks, Adolph.

Germany disarmed all German civilians in the mid 1930s. That included the German Jew. The German Jew was powerless to resist the life-and-death authority of the all-powerful (and entirely centralized) state. All they could do is try to escape, but even FDR was unwilling to give them refuge.

Now I don't know if this is the world that YOU WANT for the United States, but one of the greatest features of the 2nd Amendment is we don't have to worry about agents of the government rounding up US civilians who are helpless and defenseless, and then killing them. If officers come to your house with guns drawn, they damn well better have a warrant.

At the moment, the only thing law abiding US citizens need worry about is giving school board members a hard time. Then Merrick Garland sends his little SS (an SS that I KNOW you approve of counsellor) to "investigate" the parents. To think, that mother-fucker was in line for the Supreme Court. God love Cocaine Mitch for nipping that in the bud.

The Nazi’s didn’t ban gun ownership despite your right wing fantasy to the contrary.

The Nazi’s didn’t ban gun ownership despite your right wing fantasy to the contrary.

Well, let's take a look.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_control_in_Germany

The 1938 German Weapons Act, the precursor of the current weapons law, superseded the 1928 law. As under the 1928 law, citizens were required to have a permit to carry a firearm and a separate permit to acquire a firearm. But under the new law:

Gun restriction laws applied only to handguns, not to long guns or ammunition. The 1938 revisions completely deregulated the acquisition and transfer of rifles and shotguns, and the possession of ammunition.[8]
The legal age at which guns could be purchased was lowered from 20 to 18.[9][10]
Permits were valid for three years, rather than one year.[9]
Holders of annual hunting permits, government workers, and NSDAP (the National Socialist German Workers' Party) members were no longer subject to gun ownership restrictions. Prior to the 1938 law, only officials of the central government, the states, and employees of the German Reichsbahn Railways were exempted.[8]
Manufacture of arms and ammunition continued to require a permit, with the proviso that such permits would no longer be issued to any company even partly owned by Jews; Jews could not manufacture or deal in firearms or ammunition.[8]
Under both the 1928 and 1938 acts, gun manufacturers and dealers were required to maintain records about purchasers of guns, with serial numbers. These records were to be delivered to a police authority for inspection at the end of each year.

The 1938 Regulations Against Jews' Possession of Weapons, which came into force the day after Kristallnacht,[11][12] effectively deprived all Jews living under the Third Reich within the occupied Sudetenland and Austria of the right to possess any form of weapons, including truncheons, knives, firearms and ammunition. Exceptions were made for Jews and Poles who were foreign nationals under §3 of the act.[13] Before that, some police forces used the pre-existing "trustworthiness" clause to disarm Jews on the basis that "the Jewish population 'cannot be regarded as trustworthy'".[8]

Gun laws in Nazi Germany have been the subject of debate in the United States over gun regulations, with various opponents of gun regulation arguing that gun regulations in Nazi Germany helped the Nazis to cement power or to implement the Holocaust. Fact-checkers have described these claims or theories as "false" or "debunked".[14][15][16] On the whole, gun laws were actually made less stringent for German citizens who were loyal to Nazi rule.[10][14]

We can argue back and forth (until we are blue in the face) as to whether or not the disarming of the German Jews was the reason for the Holocaust. But without a doubt, they were disarmed. I just gave you the 1938 regulation imposed by the Nazis. Do with that as you wish. But any argument that YOU could make saying that the Jews armed or disarmed would have made no difference (as that last paragragh says), would be purely political, and not factual.

On the labor shortage...

Focus on the graph.

At no point between the mild recession in 2001 and the Great Recession did the number of job openings exceed the number of unemployed persons. During the Great Recession, the number of job openings decreased, and the number of unemployed persons increased. Both happened steadily throughout the entire 18-month recession, with unemployed persons increasing faster than job openings were declining.

The gap between them reached its apex in October 2009, when there were nearly 13 million more unemployed persons than job openings. It gradually closed over the next eight years, finally disappearing in January 2018. (You may remember this talking point from the Trump administration: We had more jobs than people to fill them.) Things had seemed to stabilize at a little over 1 million more job openings than unemployed persons.

Then the pandemic recession hit. The number of unemployed persons jumped from about 6 million in February 2020 to 23 million in April 2020. The number of job openings fell from 7 million to 4.5 million over the same span. That was normal recession behavior, direction-wise: The number of unemployed persons goes up, and the number of job openings goes down.

But things have snapped back in a very unusual way. By May 2021, only twelve months after the end of the pandemic recession, there were already more job openings than unemployed persons. What took 103 months after the Great Recession only took twelve months after the COVID recession. And the gap is already much larger than it was before the pandemic: There are almost 3 million more job openings than unemployed persons.

Its not politics. This is not Trump. This is not Biden. There is something ELSE going on here. I think it's just that everyone can "gig" now. Why work if you can gig and make enough money? That is my answer to the question. But I'm sure 100,000 economists will give you 100,000 different answers.

I wish you were blue all over...

Remember way back when, when you all threw a fit about using real names and then Facebook came out? That was fun. I miss Lonnie.

[Jungle Rat]

Spent all my Super Bowl winnings on Bengals, Reds and Gators gear for the next few years. Plus, I took some and put down a deposit on a single Bengals season ticket for next year. I figure one of my kids will use it just to get in.

[DooKSucks]

Are you playing much golf these days?

[Jungle Rat]

Naw. I haven't played in years. I'll probably get back at it.

[DooKSucks]

Well, there are plenty of options year round near you.

Hedge: do you still play?

[hedge]

Yeah, but I've never been any good. If I break 90, it's a great day. A par is a birdie for me. My real problem is I can drop an 8 or 9 real easy. And that's on a par 3. But I do enjoy going out there. Me and Logan played at River Ridge one time, one of us had just gotten a big bottle of Vicoden or Percoset, some bullshit like that, we jokingly said let's drink one beer and take one Vicoden on every hole but we ended up doing it. That was fun. I was plenty loose on the back nine...

My clubs are as dusty as Mrs. IBs pussy.
