Discussion This is why retail businesses don't succeed in America without heavy markups..

Squishy in every fucking post and you defending the shopping cart mafia!

1. No.
2. The shopping cart mafia doesn’t exist. No business would allow it.

So good news no one is arguing that criminals shouldn’t be punished. Glad we cleared that up.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Yikes, seems like a real shithole.

Was never like this before, this is all recent, mostly because the government allowed, and to some extent even encourages it, via terrible policy making. Trudeau's catch and release program being one of those. That and legalizing all the hard drugs. Most of this crime is drug related.

Never have I imagined we would see this place have the same level of crime and riff raff as big cities like Toronto. Used to be able to keep your door unlocked here.

I fail to see how the PM has any impact on Timmins law enforcement and Ontario court.

ON legalized all hard drugs? Good for them

Edit: per google, it’s not legalized, decriminalized. Unless you have a source that says otherwise, you should probably use the correct word as they’re not the same.

Can you tell me why Poillieve doesn't have CSIS security clearance yet? Clearly as the man most likely to be the next PM next year, he kind of has to get it no?

Chatham Asset Management - Wikipedia

Chatham owns 2/3 of Post Media and Nuggets.ca is operated by Post Media. It is not owned by the grocery people down south, Nuggets Markets. I failed at searching.


And there was some bail reform. A year ago.

Have you finished sweeping up all the unused syringes your fellow nutcases spread all over Timmins?

America voted and said you are WRONG!

And just so you are not in denial of how wrong you are, you get Trump with a Quadfecta!

Enjoy the epiphany.

So you’ll have to provide some form of support for your stance, cuz as far as I can tell the people voted for pipe dreams like cheaper eggs

So you're "evidence" that the shopping cart mafia exists is Trump? It's funny you've made this claim for what almost a year here and you have yet to actually supply a single documented case of gangs extorting people at stores for shopping carts.

You are such a weird drama queen.

Also still lacking in evidence that anyone is calling for criminals to not be punished. Glad you've just decided to move on from that bull shit.

Do I really need to present evidence?? LOL

Your they don't exist so they don't need to do anything explanation did a beautiful job convincing people for the election didn't it?!?!?!

People clearly thought otherwise! FFS

Trump received about 100,000 more votes than he did in 2020. Map data in Manhattan showed he was up over 5%; over 11% in the Bronx; 6% in Brooklyn; about 11% in Queens and about 8% on Staten Island.

You just can't accept it and wanna go at me thinking an argument on the internet means more than what the country decides.

Good Luck with that.. *blows kiss*

Trump received about 100,000 more votes than he did in 2020. Map data in Manhattan showed he was up over 5%; over 11% in the Bronx; 6% in Brooklyn; about 11% in Queens and about 8% on Staten Island.

You just can't accept it and wanna go at me thinking an argument on the internet means more than what the country decides.

Good Luck with that.. *blows kiss*

So feels then, ok.

1. Yes
2. So you want to do something about something that doesn't exist? That's weird.
3. Still lacking evidence that people voted based on your shopping cart mafia.
4. Ok, so they said they voted for Trump because of the shopping cart mafia? Please cite the polling data.
5. Accept what? Where have I denied Trump won or that he gained votes? Factors that gained Trump votes:
a. Crime concerns
b. Economic concerns
c. Immigration concerns
d. Promising everyone a fucking pony
6. It's a discussion forum, if you don't want to have a discussion then you should probably move on.

 

[Indus]

Except people vote that way.. not based on data.

Or are you denying it?

 

[ch33zw1z]

Denying what? That people vote based on feels? Sure think that’s true for many people, not all tho. But are you saying that people vote based on feels so you don’t have to address data and provide evidence to support your stances….because your feels too? If so, don’t expect others to take you seriously.

Welcome to meth. Yes, crime will go up during a meth epidemic. Crime will go back down when the current crop of users dies. Wait five years and the next crop of users incapable of learning from the deaths of the previous users comes along and crime goes back up. Smalltown USA has been through multiple cycles now. Meth can be made cheaply at home so there isn't any government response to meth use itself that wouldn't involve serious abuse of civil liberties.

 

[brycejones]

Ahhhhh

So you want a war on drugs. That's been so successful before.

What are the underlying issues that are putting people in a psychological state where they are turning to drugs? Drug abuse is a symptom of larger problems.

The media is bullshit (depending on trends) The data is bullshit (depending on source). The politics are bullshit (depending on lobbyists and personal interests). Its mostly half truths and some outright lies. The gouge is in full effect.

Most of all what pisses me off is when shit actually happens and you're wanting to get away rather than record it on your phone.. everyone calls you a liar for not having the evidence backing up your claim.

And if you do have video.. since it makes the preferred race look bad.. you're a racist troll.. should leave this place and go join a MAGA board.

rinse repeat.

Basically every non conforming thought must be eliminated!

Which gouge? The oligarch gouging has been going on for 50 years, we’re nearing the end and the consequences could be quite severe.

Yes, you have to vet your sources, and most Americans have a hard time with that. It takes effort, but feels just feel so good.

Yea that maga board is full of free thinkers, you should do that.

 

[jmagg]

Vetting equals finding a source that aligns with your beliefs.

I never believed people would actually vote for bad things to happen out of spite but I'm starting to see why they hate you all so much.

The holier than thou attitude really does piss a lot of former libs off to break off and just stick it to the rest. And they think they'll be no worse than they already are because nothing will change from Washington anyways.

So why not make a buck on the stock market and stick it to the people who bother us online. Just like every mass shooter really pissed off at someone except the voters didn't choose guns as their form of aggression.

LOL you need to spend some time in a rural red area. Old white MAGAs are the most condescending, 'holier than thou' assholes I've ever met.
