I'm legit at the point of considering Russia invading Ukraine to be one of the most fascist actions in post-Industrial Revolution history because of the incredible amounts of inflation, especially with energy costs, that the invasion caused

What's even more depressing is that the responses calling for more gun control don't even seem to understand how intractable the problem is under current conditions.
Less than 48 hours after the deadly attack at Sydney's Bondi Beach that left more than a dozen dead, Australian authorities announced proposals for sweeping new gun laws. n.pr/48UTa7g

Look, there’s a simple solution to private equity buying up and enshittifying the software that keeps us safe: a handful of municipal fire/rescue departments should team up, collaboratively build and share better software, and release it into the public domain. This is a common pattern!

Last I saw auto manufacturers were working on a universal system that could unobtrusively monitor BAC as part of standard safety equipment - this combined with an emergency move feature would be cool. Okay you are drunk and gotta move your car outta the road, max speed 3mph w warning lights and horn
again, ignition interlocks are one of those things where there basically *really is* a technological solution to the problem that greatly mitigates that tradeoffs, and it's a policy failure that they aren't mandatory for five years after your first DUI.
“Drunk and drugged driving is now so common in car-centric California that drivers routinely rack up four, five, six DUIs. One woman in Fresno just got her 16th.”

What's crazy is that there are multiple places called Stinky's Bar and Grill in the US. I looked it up and was like oh that's not so bad, friends it was the Pittsburgh Stinky's. Why are you naming your restraunts this?!
If you want to do something like this, why not buy a $150k home in a small town in Italy, France, Spain, or Mexico, instead of having nine people share one bathroom after they eat at a restaurant called "Stinky's?"

Even in cases like this where the crimes are beyond horrific I can't help but think of the failure of society to protect the child this man once was and how that failure made everyone less safe.

Trump gonna have us looking like Turkey
With inflation still ticking higher, trade war nonsense remaining the current regime and the government shutdown aftermath presumably being really bad for the economy, cutting rates further now removes the ability to cut rates when it is actually economically necessary later.
