Same thing will happen to teachers in september. We'll be asked to go back, do MORE work since there will be kids who choose not to come and we'll have to do online lessons for them as well. And we'll get no extra pay despite being at risk every day.

This is where teachers' unions are supposed to help out.

When Trump puts out misinformation or lies he's literally Hitler.

But when false reports are presented to the public that make liberals look bad, it's a bunch of excuses and rationalizations for why it's okay.

It's amusing yet sad to see.


Can you acknowledge that inadvertent errors in a reporting process are different than active lying or promoting misinformation?

I feel like it's splitting hairs.

I also feel like it has more to do with gatekeeping in punk culture than it actually has to do with the music, ironically enough.

For me, that is the case with a bunch of music subgenres in general. It becomes a race to the bottom in saying someone likes the most unheard of band to pretend they are the most hardcore and that everything other than that type of band is shit. There are definitely some shit punk bands that were popular but who cares what pop punk is and what it isn't.

Just listen to what you enjoy and what you want. That is probably the most "punk" thing to do anyway.

whitelytning
07/10/20 3:36:17 PM

The result of this case is very interesting and the impacts will be worth paying attention to. I'm a lawyer that works in the casino industry so I have to have some understanding of Indian law (but I'm not close to an expert). I'm going to try to summarize some of what happened and then just provide a few issues that may come up.

The first sentence of the opinion is pretty dramatic: "On the far end of the Trail of Tears was a promise."

Generally, crimes committed by Native Americans on Indian land are supposed to go to federal court because state courts have limited jurisdiction on Indian land. The guy in this case was originally tried and convicted by Oklahoma State Court. He appealed by pointing to a treaty from the early 1800s, signed as part of Indian relocation, that said the location of his crime was on Indian land. If it was Indian land he was supposed to be tried in federal court not state court. The US Supreme Court held that the treaty hasn't changed and the land identified as Indian land in that treaty is still Indian land and his conviction by a state court was wrong.

This means that a very large part of Oklahoma is currently considered Indian territory. The federal government still has oversight and will still punish crimes committed on those lands, but it has to be in federal court. This is going to be a major drain on the federal court system because its not prepared to handle the amount of cases it may soon get.

It also brings up a question about state and local police in these areas. I don't know how it works in OK but it may be interesting to see what role and rights the police units maintain on these Indian Lands. I imagine some of the Indian tribes may not want them around.

Taxation is another question. The federal government cannot tax people on Indian land. If you are a US citizen living in the area that is now considered a sovereign nation (like the city of Tulsa) you may not have to pay the federal government or OK any taxes. This would be a good question for a tax attorney and I'm not providing legal advice here but there seems to be an open question about how taxes work. If that is the case, Oklahoma state budgets will be impacted dramatically.

I'm sure its more interesting as a law nerd or for someone that live in an effected area but this case was a much bigger deal than Trump's tax stuff yesterday.

And yet barely any deaths are being reported. I'm just having a tough time believing this now. A bunch of folks who don't care about wearing masks or staying home, they haven't for the whole duration of this virus, are the same people so quick to get tested if sick. People who don't think the virus is anything aren't gonna be the ones going gee I gotta get tested. Really feel like there's funny business going on. There's no way all of a sudden there's more cases than ever before with way less deaths. And if that is legitimately the case then who cares it's not killing anyone anymore.

This is the governor and Florida GOP's take. And it makes sense if you don't look ahead. The deaths are down because a large number of the new cases are from younger people. The problem is that the hospitals are filling up as the virus spreads to the more vulnerable populations. Treatment has gotten better so people are dying less but there is a limit to the number of people they can treat based on the ability to take people into the hospital. Once that limit gets hit there will be a spike in deaths and Florida is not far from that.

They haven't been reporting hospitalizations correctly too. So that has added to the mess.

You have to figure out why you are sad and work on that and stop drinking because that is just hurting you and other people and not solving your problems.

I don't see how the definition you posted has anything to do with American slavery. That definition, like I said, implies that things are done with the intent to destroy the oppressed group. That is not what happened.

Were horrible acts committed against enslaved peoples? Yes.
Were those acts done with the intent to destroy the racial group? No.

Slavery works by keeping the enslaved group alive and healthy enough to do work. That contradicts the basic element of genocide.

(again, not defending the American slavery system, just defending my point about it not being a genocide)

The Holocaust and American Slavery were both types of genocides.

American slavery was not a genocide by any definition I have seen or can think of. "Genocide" applies that one race is trying to kill/remove/erase/destroy/etc., another race. Slavery is different because the enslaved race has an inherent value to the oppressors. It is horrible, unjust, terrible, all those things, but it is different than genocide.

I'm not trying to hijack the thread or defend the American slavery system. I am not a confederate supporter or white supremacist or anything like that. As terrible as it was, I just think you are wrong to call American slavery a genocide.

Mail in ballots allow people to vote that don't want to go to a polling station.
People that are at the most risk of COVID problems will be less likely to go to a public polling station.
Old people are at a higher risk of COVID problems.
Old people have higher rates of conservative political affiliation.

You would think they would do everything they can to allow older people to vote but they are doing the opposite.
