Lol on a Tampabay newspaper article posted to Lemmy 42 minutes ago.

Yeah I'm sure he's right on top of this. Shame on him for not already condemning it!

Fun fact: once people get ticketed, by and large they slow down. Then once enough people on the route get a ticket, TRAFFIC slows down.

Source: I was there for Parkside. It was wild watching more and more people shift to a slow speed. You could literally tell who'd been ticketed for a few weeks in the middle. There was a short time where I'd call it "chaotic" because enough people were slowed down but a large enough percentage were still speeding and you basically had a road with 2 speed "limits"

Within a few months it had all settled and now people drive slower there. I got one ticket. I paid it.

Right so that's everybody saved then! Certainly there isn't anyone who can't work a literal part time job, or " volunteer" for some giant multinational that has the authority to sign off on your Medicaid.

What a shit hole... And thats the positive spin....

Not reading article, don't actually care. American Express can suck it. They put the average person through hell to get $10,000 credit. They should have been more responsible with this person. Unless they can show they did the usually consideration, gradually upping her credit over time with responsible limits, that's just the risk of doing business.

Ok I caved and read the article. Lady makes bank (or was faking). Why did she need a $600k+ limit? What is she putting on a credit card that would lead to that amount in such a short time? American Express wanted their cut, they got burned.

What? Why would they?

But hunters are specifically trying to call them in to shoot them. This is more like catch and release fishing, you are just making the bird late for something...

? What do you mean? It will be even cheaper to use immigrants now because they will have even fewer protections, and you can always cycle out all the complainers and anyone who takes too long to get anything done.

"Elbows up" is a saying/slang/expression in hockey to mean "get ready to fight" (hockey basically allows guys to throw fists between plays for some reason). It is currently being used in political ads and other pro Canada ads in reference to the current trade war.

I was riffing off this, since (as a headline) this is just Canada rolling over for cry baby Trump. It's not elbows up. It's daddy Trump telling Carney off like a toddler and Carney cowering. "Elbows off the table!"

Elbows off the table.

I believe they are referring to Jhaj.

It's cops talk for "we for some reason can't name the person you are asking about, but we are investigating a person who exactly matches their description.

Translation: "we wish to look like we are doing our jobs"

Emphasis on START digging. I thought that was a terrible article. All questions, almost no answers.

Careful, someone with bad reading comprehension will be posting tomorrow about the deep state Democrats funding biowarfare tick development to turn everyone gay/vegan.
