True but what if the country they’d stolen they had invested in and made them a leader in something and not just tourism that kinda fucks them and not let them develop.

They employ our politicians. Ask Steven donziger about it.

By ‘locals’ I mean the people who live in the historic district who end up being super inconvenienced by the festivities every year. We’re just trying to go about our lives and everything gets totally upended for a week. Not being able to park on your own block, businesses being closed, having to leave for work an hour early to make sure you can get to your job two miles away on time, finding drunk strangers passed out naked on your porch, things being stolen or broken. The folks from the south side, the islands, richmond hill, garden city, and everywhere else around the city are the ones who really fuck shit up. Not to say the downtown crowd isn’t capable of the same debauchery but there aren’t that many of us compared to the thousands and thousands of people who come in from the surrounding areas.

They're just ensuring that most people won't own electric vehicles any time soon. I was curious about replacing my work trucks with electric, but when I saw the price tag it'll have to wait another decade or two. Not a goddamn chance I'd pay anything close to what they're asking.

God I just want to yell. I am SO thankful it was not any worse than it was. It being this close to home really sent me into a spiral for a few hours I was not feeling good. That kid is a fucking idiot.

Transport helicopters are dangerous. Fly a lot of helicopters and have them do dangerous maneuvers and eventually you'll have a crash. In an actual war you expect to lose helicopters basically constantly. They're buses for the troops, and they're not meant to be particularly survivable.

Hell, we expected to lose basically every A-10 warthog in minutes if the US went to war with the Soviet Union. And helicopters are slower, fly lower, and they're more fragile.

Of course, none of that would've mattered. The idea was that the conventional war would probably only last until the nukes started to fall.

But we put animals to sleep because we love them and don’t want them to feel pain. Why let her off easy?

> They are not recruited.

According to : https://legalbeagle.com/7801964-become-fbi-informant.html

"There are several ways to become an FBI informant. The most common way to become an FBI informant is to be approached by the FBI. If the FBI has identified you as a person who has a connection to a criminal enterprise, activity or target, the Bureau may approach you to provide it with information."

What specific distinction are you drawing between the FBI "approaching someone to be an informant" and the FBI "recruiting" an informant? Because most native English speakers would consider those synonymous. I understand what an informant is. Please clarify how you think a person goes from being a non-informant to being an informant, if you think nobody in the FBI is involved in picking people to be selected as informants?

"The U.S. post-9/11 wars have forcibly displaced at least 38 million people. At least 929,000 people have been killed by direct war violence in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and Pakistan."

Made in USA that's why

Right, and probably how they are trained. Go room to room when in doubt where the shooter(s) are. I hate when people arm-chair these situations yet I’m doing it now. Either way, LEO rocked.

Almost every restaurant uses Sysco because they sell restaurant supplies like cleaning products and other assorted restaurant supplies.

That video of taking her down was insane. Dropped just like from a movie.
