You could make the argument that maybe that's what was called for, but I, for one, am glad they didn't take the bait. Bigger picture, I think it helped the country as a whole in the long term.

The state government in Minnesota kinda had to walk a fine line. If they got physical with ICE, they would've had the military on their door the next day. They didn't capitulate either, though they walked right up to the line. Best they could do without outright civil war.

It was supposed to be starving, but autocorrect betrayed me in the 4th quarter, and we don't have edit buttons.

It's a tool for creators and a bane to drone workers. We'll figure out how to make more than slop eventually....I hope.

We just saw that in Minnesota. They're not having any of that ICE shit from the feds and their sister states and municipalities have their fucking back. Now that's America.

People are spoiled by how good some of our agencies are. They have no idea how fucked we'd be without them.

Epstein wasn't shipping over hordes of people in storage containers. The coastys have a very limited jurisdiction.they take the crimes on the water that's pretty much it.

Idk, man, one of the absolute brilliant things about our country is how layered it is. We don't have to rely on the feds for everything. There's still state and local governments to fall back on. Kind of built-in networks in case of collapse.

Well, I'm in the US, so I've no room to talk about healthcare, but it's my understanding that defibrillators are used in only very specific use cases.
I don't know if I feel comfortable having a random making that decision.
But you're living in a very different culture too.

I don't really think I'm arguing just experiencing a bit of culture shock.
The entire concept seems schizophrenic from my perspective.

Oh, sorry, I thought you were talking to me. I didn't even notice you talking to nutty up there.

I kind of am, and not, tbh honest, I have a hard time finding a label. I land on wildly different places on the spectrum, depending on the issue being discussed. I some times just call myself a "logicist". Whoever has the best idea I'll listen to and if everyone's idea is shit I'll make one.

Ah OK, so I'm misunderstanding you. That's the best case scenario. It's always a good idea to ask for clarity before insulting people. So what are you talking about?

Ok, I can maybe see if there is no one coming in a reasonable amount of time. But still an insane amount of responsibility to put on civilians.
Down right terrifying to think the local drug addict might end up using it on me. You guys need to up your ambulance services.

I'm not mad about it at all. Quite the opposite. It's a novelty to me. I find the entire concept to be utterly absurd. I'm enjoying learning more about it, but all the safety measures do little to change my mind that it is a seriously insane idea.

They're the COAST guard. Meaning their jurisdiction is the ocean. They're the sea cops. And sea firemen, and paramedics and park Rangers and every other emergency service on the water. We kind of need them.
