If there was ever a case for some sort of Illuminati/Aliens/Supreme Being tampering with how America is doing, these long-term changes to society would be a good thing to research. I swear we are all in somebody's Sims game and they've gotten bored with just taking the ladder out of the pool.
Back in the 1970s and 1980s it was pushed SO much that women not only could get jobs out side the home but could and should excel at them. Nothing wrong with that BUT the way it was held up as a superior way of life compared with the traditional female roles, little girls were actively discouraged from saying they wanted to grow up and be a mom or housewife, even if that was what they actually wanted.
Remember the "Mommy Wars" that were mentioned in every women's magazine for a while there? Working mom vs Stay-At-Home mom (cause saying housewife is sexist I guess)
Remember when couples having problems used to try to stay together anyway becoming, if anything is slightly annoying about your spouse, divorce immediately?
Now we have adults that were raised by strangers even though they have a mom and dad, because daycare-preschool-full day kindergarten happened. Do we really have to wonder why they join cults and terrorist organizations?
Don't get me started on the damage done by pushing so many kids into therapy. Look at common brainwash techniques then look at Cognative Behavior Therapy. Then add in medications like SSRIs and what they do to the brain.
Bah.
I'm going to go drink some more coffee and check out the Ag Report. Maybe refill the bird feeders.
Is worth a watch. It looks at how middle class families with two parents working just cope all the time by buying more and more and more shit for their kids, and placate them by cooking crap food, rather than having mealtimes for the whole family.
What bothers me more though is that they frame it all as a good thing or interesting, whereas I watched it in abject goddamn horror.
As sad as it is, and I'm not denying that, any place where it's hard to fire someone (hmmm, perhaps public healthcare places?) that's going to be found. Look no further than the US's VA system before Trump passed that "fire the best, hire the worst" EO.
Yeah, you look at it and it's gross. The system works for the most motivated people willing to go through all the hoops and act like well trained dogs when the time comes
Why is the city infringing on its residents property rights without a court order is the bigger question.
If the signs were too close to the road, the proper (see: Constitutional) way to do it is to notify/warn, then fine if refused, then get a court order to have the signs removed or moved.
Enforcement involving roadside signs is inconsistent at best. I've seen signs that clearly appear to be in places they shouldn't be get overlooked whereas others that are marginally out of compliance at best are strictly cracked down on. I've also seen signs that advertise questionable/shady products and services have their numbers blacked out with markers or spray paint.
Given how inconsistent sign enforcement can be, it's not totally implausible that the sign was targeted for who was being endorsed.
I'd have thought the first, and most rational thing to do would be to knock on the door of the person concerned and just have a friendly word with them if it genuinely was an issue, preferably with a copy of the City Ordinances to hand,and to ask the owner of the sign to come out with you so they can watch you measure it, and ask if they will move it. I can guaranfuckingtee, if it was one for Biden, this is precisely what they would have done as well.
This largely depends on the city and the mood of the compliance officer. In my city, for example, non-egregious violations usually result in a warning letter stating what's not in compliance, a citation of the municipal code(s) being violated, and a deadline for compliance with what consequences might result if the violations aren't corrected timely.
In the city I work in, this also happens. However, that city's code enforcement officers who make door to door spot checks can be insufferable or clueless when it comes to demanding compliance.
After a major snowfall (9 or so inches/22+ cm), a code enforcement officer came to my office demanding to know who did our snow removal. I truthfully told the officer I didn't know because someone else handles it and they were unavailable to ask. He curtly stated that the snow was plowed in a way that made it difficult for people to see oncoming traffic when turning from the side street at our corner, but he had no suggestions when I asked where else the snow removal company was supposed to put the snow since there was nowhere else for that much of it to go. I can understand the issue, but grousing about it in the most heavy-handed way without a practical suggestion/solution was too antagonistic -- especially when every single corner on that particular stretch of roadway had tall piles of snow from the large amount of it that fell over the past 24 hours.
Maybe one of our legal kiwis can chime in, but booby traps such as these can be illegal for some reason or another. If the razors were situated the way they looked in the picture, an innocent person who bumped into that sign the wrong way could get cut up pretty bad through no fault of their own. I get people not wanting their signs vandalized, but the array of razor blades might not have been the best choice to combat that. I also agree that it's be nice to know where the sign was before the attempt to remove it because there have been plenty of incidents where political opponents will remove or vandalize signs promoting a rival candidate.
I'm tempted at times to remind her what the Canadian system did to her husband and their blackface-in-chief leading the country, but it's such low-hanging fruit that it's not worth the argument. It feels like beating up on a retarded kid so I just scroll past.
Sometimes, scrolling past is the best thing to do because no response -- whether logical, emotional, or both -- will persuade them to change their opinion or consider different viewpoints. I believe the mantra "Pick your battles wisely" applies here.

Essentially what we have is someone - aliens, Illuminati, demons, Russians, Chinese, Israelis, idk who else people might come up with- who is very good at seeing where the fault lines might be and tailoring what amounts to the middle school gossip tactics of tween Iagos to Western society.
“Omg Subculture A, Subculture B totally hates you and wishes you would die.”
And that’s it. Did you hear what they said? They hate you. Everyone gets carved up into meaningless microidentities and then told they’re in a cage match for their life against another microidentity, who gets told the same thing.
What if it’s all imaginary? Fake? Architected? Finally memed into existence by repetition?
The second we stopped identifying WITH and started identifying AS, we splintered. Now someone somewhere is very very invested in attacking any white person who tries to express common humanity with a non-white. What used to be empathy is now a microaggression - how dare you suggest that your lived experience could compare/rank against theirs! - and so white people back off, confused...how can finding commonality with someone be hate?
What is really beautiful. Well used for some reason, if there is a girl, pizza pizza in the United States and how it influenced Bracchiati Cornnti the greatest long-term changes in society as a pedophile research is a good thing. And more than half of the most beautiful, and a virgin, to enter the Pedophile pedophiles too much, and it standeth.
I'm sorry it was a bit incoherent, I was just trying to make a point about how clinical foam football is very sharp internet pedophiles must bear all of the agent and be crushed.

Oh look the political leaning of the wanna be kidnappers come to light
Ffs I really hate journalism today. I read an article this morning about the prevented kidnapping and no mention of their leaning. The comments were golden "Oh those right wing fanatics" "It's all Trump's fault!" I dropped a comment about what they actually were plus the fact that the governor broke the law with her covid measures. Imagine the salt.

I always hated the idea of traditional family dinners, it's the idea that consumption = socialization and they just get so boring. A lot of people see them preparing kids for a lifetime of weddings, bars, and dinner dates as a positive which is weird. I think the copious consumption is the natural evolution of that.
Trad wives especially get pissed at me for that opinion but a lot of the have no skills, or talents and just force their kids to spend an hour a day with them without their electronics or work. If parents spent that time with their kids exploring different hobbies and skills (art, sports, music, exploring nature and so on), we wouldn't have that problem.

Meh, coddling your brats and giving them shit tier retard baby food is bad for them. I don't mean people should pound broccoli into their kids or whatever, but letting them doormat you into being their personal chefs is just setting yourself up for a lifetime of indentured servitude and raising a spoiled, incapable brat later on in their life.
If they don't want to eat vegetables or whatever, fine, but letting them learn they can refuse and demand you cook them something else instead is just setting and enforcing shitty habits and poor behaviour.

A lot of the problem with vegetables IS parents trying to shove the food down their kids’ throat, which only convinces the child they hate vegetables and that eating them is punishment. Personal anecdote, but I thought I hated vegetables when in reality I only hated boiled shit. Raw vegetables I like just fine.
You gotta let kids find the healthy food they like instead of turning it into a struggle.

One of the points of eating as a family is that you make something nice and balanced and you provide a role model to the kiddos then force them to participate. That way they learn how to eat and enjoy foods that aren't hollow garbage. It seriously isn't that hard. A slow cooker and some frozen veggies and you are pretty much there. Also, don't keep junk food in the house.
The core problem is that the parents have shit tastes and no impulse control and just let the kids do whatever because they don't hold themselves to any standards either.

Gonna join in the off topic veggie sperging here. Why is it so many parents seem to give 0 shits about what their kids actually like?
"I don't like this and don't want to eat it." is a reasonable position we can all understand. " I don't care, you'll eat it anyway!" is not. I mean, can you imagine being told that as a grown adult? It'd be grounds for an asskicking!
Far too few adults actually try to figure out what their kids like. When I was a kid there were certain veggies I fucking hated and being forced to eat them made me hate them even more and avoid them for years only to find out later that I do like them but only when prepared well.
Broccoli for instance. Can't stand the shit boiled. Love it when it's steamed. And yet my mom always tried to force me to eat boiled fucking broccoli which led me to have an aversion to broccoli until I was 20 when I tried some good steamed broccoli at a resturaunt. Now I love the shit!
I actually wonder if shit like this isn't why some kids grow up so rebellious. Instead of compromise they're taught to shut the fuck up and take whatever is dished out, which is pretty well against human nature. So to reassert their individuality they go full "Fuck you, mom & dad!" and we end up with a fuckload of dipshits who never listen because they themselves were never listened to.

Boiled broccoli is so mushy, it's awful. Lots of parents just don't care to cook food right. I used to hate thin steaks until I learned that I only hated them because they were cooked to death to the point where I couldn't chew it.

A lot of people don't know how to cook which means they make bad food that no one wants to eat (kids are just blunt enough to say it). There's also this thing people forget called spices. They make food more palatable when you put some in a dish.
My oldest hated carrots from 7 months old until recently when I found a way to prepare them in a way the kid will willingly eat them. Never battled it, just tried new recipes here and there cause the other kids like carrots.
What I'm getting here, is that this communist insurgency has been brought about by people's parents that grew up in the 70s (when boiling everything was the way food was made apparently) boiled their shitty food and forced their kids to eat it. This in turn creates a huge amount of shitty kids that hate their parents and western society in general. Thanks, 1970s.
Also, boiling? Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is Boiling Food Real Hahahaha Nigga Just Get Out The Kitchen Like Nigga Turn The Stove Off Haha
