Now, what about all those other states? What will the SCOTUS do with this one, let em freeze in the ditches or act like human beings? Will it be archaic ideas about FREEDOM and individual responsibility that rationalize fear and hatred or a more human community based approach to those in our communities who lack the resources to survive with some sense dignity and security. We all know what the greed and fear driven "libertarian's" will say, but it's actually antisocial blather, neither based in logic or fact. Just a jumble of anti social feelings and a refusal to form a sharing community while seeking social approval, typical greed. Maybe fewer people would migrate to California and the large cities, if they were treated more humanely in their home states and communities.

America is the richest society in Human history and my own is on par, make us in Canada look bad on this issue, because we too have people living on the streets and it's colder here. Many homeless people have emotional and mental health, or substance abuse issues and do not suffer from intellectual impairment, we can do a lot better by them than we are. There but for the grace of God and a head injury, go I.

Los Angeles' Skid Row: All homeless people must be offered housing by fall, judge orders - CNN

All homeless people on Los Angeles' Skid Row must be offered housing by the fall, judge orders
(CNN)All homeless people living on Los Angeles' Skid Row must be offered housing by October 18, a federal judge ordered Tuesday.
The order comes in response to a federal lawsuit filed last year by several citizens, business owners, and community leaders who argue officials have failed to address the homeless crisis in Los Angeles, as tents line full city blocks and makeshift shelters cramp under street overpasses.

"Los Angeles has lost its parks, beaches, schools, sidewalks, and highway systems due to the inaction of city and county officials who have left our homeless citizens with no other place to turn," US District Judge David Carter said in the 110-page brief.

The judge's filing follows on Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announcing his budget for the next fiscal year in which he vowed to dedicate $1 billion toward homelessness. In 2020 alone, 1,383 homeless people died, and an estimated five more die each day, according to data from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA).

MyPillow Mike Reacts to Jimmy Kimmel’s Monologue & We Play “Who’s High?”
Three guilty verdicts were read at Derek Chauvin’s trial in Minneapolis on an emotional day in America, MyPillow Mike Lindell read most of Jimmy’s monologue from last night on his livestream and accepted the invitation to come on our show, and in honor of 4/20 we play a round of “Who’s High?”
lest we forget.

I'm going to vent a little bit, I hope it makes me feel happy or better at least, because I've been downright pissed off the last few days. I don't say anything and keep thoughts bottled up to myself and that probably makes me more angry.

I was having a starting issue with my work truck, dropped it off to Freightliner and now they've ruined my truck so bad. Today is the 4th day in a row that my truck has to go back again because the techs at Freightliner can't get shit right. They screwed around and replaced something called an MCM board. My truck runs like dogshit now, anyways....

I've been using another truck that was open from one of the guys that just retired. There was a few open trucks but I wanted this one because it's a standard 10 speed transmission, the others are auto and I absolutely fucking hate driving the automatic trucks. Automatic trucks are for lazy drivers, any retard can hold a steering wheel and mash the gas pedal.

Well the truck I'm using now is a goddam pig sty. I cannot get comfortable in it, some of the guys at my shop just don't care and won't take care of their truck, it's nothing more than a work truck to them. This truck was trashed, mud and dirt on the floor, tobacco spit spilled all over in the cup holder, grease on the door handles inside. There was probably 1/2 inch of dust on the top of the sun visors, the truck stinks inside like dirty old work truck, it is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. I've been trying to clean it up as best I can but I just don't have the time I need when I'm constantly moving and driving.


Please please Freightliner, fix my goddamn truck right today so I can get back in it

Ok I feel better that I could whine about my truck lol

I'm happy now I got to go out to Cargill Salt plant in St. Clair, MI today. It's a nice ride out here and these guys are super cool, they love my dog and always give her treats. This is one of my favorite places to pickup from. There's also a Love's truckstop on the way back to the yard that I always get a coffee at, so yeah, I'm happy

I'm right on the St. Clair river looking across at Canada

My brother is a diesel mechanic in London, at Peterbilt, he'll fix your MCM for you. He's told many gross stories about some things he's seen. I looked it up and it stands for man crush Monday or main computer module - you decide! Truckers are the glue that are keeping nations rolling. Like farmers, best not to bitch about them with your mouth full. Keep up the good work. Appreciate all you do.

I remember back in the Dubya years every republican had Jesus in their lives as sort of an imaginary friend...
Cheeto Jesus drove the real one from the GOP temple and now they worship the golden calf.
It’s Not Just Young White Liberals Who Are Leaving Religion | FiveThirtyEight


Poll(s) of the Week
Only 47 percent of American adults said they were members of a church, mosque or synagogue, according to recently released polling that was conducted by Gallup throughout last year. It marked the first time that a majority of Americans said they were not members of a church, mosque or synagogue since Gallup first started asking Americans about their religious membership in the 1930s. Indeed, Gallup’s finding was a kind of watershed moment in the long-chronicled shift of Americans away from organized religion.1

What’s driving this shift? In part, it’s about people who still identify with a religious tradition opting not to be a member of a particular congregation. Only 60 percent of Americans who consider themselves religious are part of a congregation, compared to 70 percent a decade ago, according to Gallup. But the bigger factor, Gallup said, is the surge of religiously unaffiliated Americans — people who are agnostics, atheists or simply say they are not affiliated with a religious tradition. The rise of this group — sometimes referred to as “nones” because they answer “none” when asked about their faith (and, you know, it’s a play on words) — isn’t new. But the Gallup survey is part of a growing body of new research on this bloc (that includes a recent book by one of us, Ryan’s “The Nones: Where They Came From, Who They Are, and Where They Are Going”).
