I agree. The right to a speedy trial not being observed is an issue.

This is only local jails, which makes sense as people are waiting trial then move on to long term prison.

The increase should be capped at inflation. Currently mine go up 10% every year. I pay more in tax than I ever paid in rent. I’ll have to buy a tent in another decade at this rate.

They’d be starving after waiting for 3 days.

Cows kills more people each year than sharks.

I mean when did you ever here of a cow killing a shark.

Consider a site like arstechnica. Just tech news, less depressing crap.

And there is a service fee!

It happened to me at the urologist. They were taking the piss!

Maybe we need a minimum amount of published information before a candidate can run.

There are people who are running (and winning) locally that I can’t even find a single source about online. Usually the likes of judges, commissioners, school boards etc.

At what point can you tax deduct your phone as a business expense?

In the short term it really helps productivity, but in the end the reward for working faster is more work. Just doing the hard parts all day is going to burn developers out.

I fear the change from monthly to annual only subscriptions is on the horizon

Isn’t it called the condom pocket for a reason?

This is the same as the argument that tall people need more leg room on a plane, and shouldn’t be charged to upgrade their seat. Or that someone with a bad back should be able to fly business for free.

Batteries don’t like the cold.

If it were codified like this as law everywhere, people would accept it better. The rule breaking is what pisses a lot of people off. It would be much more predictable and safer too.

Our road system, retirement benefits, health system (except USA), public school system, national parks are all socialist.

Apple and google should add location based parental control, in addition to the time based. A checkbox ‘in a school’ would be easy. Let parents disable things they don’t need like Netflix while leaving them with their emergency communication device.

Not perfect, but it would help.

Shutting every complaint down with ‘racist’, ‘fascist’, ‘nazi’ etc. is why far right parties are rising. It is time to stop acting like middle schoolers and allow people to voice concerns and have debate, lest they vote far right as the only alternative. Nobody wants that.

Never said anything about whether I tip. Just that there is no such thing as earning below minimum wage legally. The same argument about minimum wage stands for any employee like a cashier, burger flipper etc.

You should probably go see someone about your anger issues.
