That is arguably worse

But how does that answer OPs question about why is friends upon in Western society? That’s what ‘dawg’ was commenting about.

Is there a reason you have to interact with this person? It seems like if you’re in a situation where her response comes with an LOL, your best course might be just to not engage. If you’re in a position of responsibility with teaching her how to interact then gently repeating that respecting how someone would like to be addressed is probably warranted, even if it doesn’t seem terribly effective the first (many) times.

I mean the math checks out, but holy crap, you’re 43, but at 19 ‘9/11 hadn’t happened yet…’

Did you typo or did he? .03 is significantly bigger than .004

The problem here isn’t the increased price of goods, it’s the fact that Trump knows increasing the price of non-US built cars via tarrif gives US car companies an advantage that could be used to sell more cars for less money, but will really just give US car companies the opportunity to raise prices any amount they choose, as long as it’s slightly less than the tarrif, thereby making more money and enjoying the advantage of not paying the tariffs. People will still buy cars, and they might buy American cars because they’re now a little cheaper than non-US… But if they do this, the tariffs will pretty much only result in higher priced cars across the board instead of affordable IS cars vs expensive foreign ones.

Basically someone explained to Trump one of the many ways the tariffs will be backfiring, and he’s ineffectually asking companies not to do that.

Problem is that a well paid and well educated workforce will make more money ‘sometime after the next quarter’ and in a diffuser way spread evenly across the board.

Stiffing people and withholding raises will show a profit within a quarter someone’s bonus is based on.

Guess which option the people who get the bonuses will pick.

Honestly the ‘fiduciary responsibility to maximize shareholder value’ might be the phrase we’ll look back on as the downfall of the human race.

Seriously, what can possibly make that worth adding?

But you said there was probably cause, and then brought up a bunch of stuff there’s no reason to assume the cops ‘knew’ before arresting him.

Yet you suggest there was enough to know how bad contained cash and he was on a bus from New York

Are you guessing at this, or are you claiming that is what was actually reported?

My understanding is that it was an employee at the restaurant that reported him. ‘Mall adjacent to a bus stop’ seems a little less ‘first hand account that he was on a bus from New York’ and more circumstancial like ‘he came in at the same time as some others, had a different color hoodie and different color backpack than the description, but very broadly matched “white guy with hoodie”’.

Basically exactly what should get an improper arrest thrown out if you detain someone without cause, fail to Mirandize, search them and then find something incriminating.

Probably? Based on what? McDonalds around you often note which bus you get off of, do they?

Or people who get really used to using it, use it

They knew he got off a bus from New York and that his backpack was full of cash? By the fact that he was sitting in a mcdonalds?

And he didn’t match the outfit, just similar. You think the cops from around the us were justified in searching anyone white in a hoodie because someone in New York did something?

Why do you think they had reasonable suspicion?

That’s their strategy, let some laymen in to look around, show them some fake ‘secret’ rims to show they aren’t really that special, while the clevery hidden real secret doors are quietly moved as you leave and enter each room. You end up being just one boring anecdote on the Internet, but over centuries it adds up to hundreds of ‘eh’ accounts to hide the real story… It’s brilliant!
