He's not not talking about it.
Poor internet service?
I started making enough that not splitting a streaming service was achievable and rational... and then the ******* ADS happened. Not that the prices went up that much but the gall to raise prices while making us endure ads? Hard pass
Plus I can't find a reliable VPN that allows torrenting. I'm either paying for netflix, or paying for the VPN, but I ain't doing both.

It turns out the Texas blackouts of 2021 may have been the result of market fixing by gas companies who manufactured a shortage to drive the price up:
FB friend:
Your friend's point is well taken, but he's mistaken on the domestic violence bit.
It's also a mandatory arrest, domestic violence.
I'm in Kansas, about as red as you can get.
We've gotten way better on domestic violence then stereotypes would allow people to think. Really where we lag behind is our attitudes on drunk driving. I have lost far too many friends to drunks and cars, but the penalties never match what they take.

You can't really punish stuff like drunk driving without putting LOTS of resources and money into stuff like... rehab programs, mass transit systems, social services of all kinds. Is a red state going to do that?
Or, stay with me, throw their ******* asses in prison for a good long time so they can dry out and realize just what they did.
I mean, yeah, sure.
How does that stop the next guy? Cause punishing a person doesn't achieve anything to stop the next guy from doing it. Do you want to punish people for being stupid, or you want to stop them doing stupid things?

Honestly I want to line them up and shoot them as an example. I'm tired of going to funerals.
Why don't we, anyway? It doesn't take a complicated bill to make some sentencing guidelines tougher. Who exactly is going to lobby against it?
Wonko has a point about mass transit—it's a lot harder to explain what you were doing getting behind the wheel after a night at the pub when there's a bus stop only a block away, and a lot easier when there's not and the only alternative is sleeping it off in the alley out back—but Uber and Lyft exist now too. Do they have a policy against letting drunks on board? I feel like that is a thing they would do, for pretty valid reasons.
