The Evil Dr. Longshadow

Government assistance is not supposed to pay your cable bill or buy your take out pizza. It's supposed to promote public safety. When putting a junkie into a rehabilitation facility is going to improve and promote public safety, it's a legitimate expenditure as well as a proper function of government. Can't raise taxes any further? Okay, just divert money away from white elephant projects, such as solar farms.

So, increase the funding and open more of them.

Oh, drat... my card has been confiscated... Listen, kiddo. Cops, deputies, ICE agents and even bounty hunters are nothing but glorified janitors. Their job is just simply, lift, haul and dump. When you have questions or comments about any of your rights, that's what judges and lawyers are for. For identification, Social Security numbers are key. Your state issued ID and your passport records include the numbers, in the paperwork. If you're arrested and the arresting agent decides to pull a few dirty tricks, such as discarding your documents, stay calm and wait for wait for the second phase of the arrest. You're going to get dumped into central processing. The processor's job is to determine who you are. It's not the arresting officer's job unless you have a few warrants on your head. The CP clerk will ask for the number. Presto, he can access your whole identity, card or no card. If you're legit and your identity checks out, you're sprung in two or three hours.

Once upon a time, rehab facilities were fully sposnored and paid for by the county, state and federal governments.

Same place anybody else goes in that situation, a transitional house.

Maybe it's about time we changed the laws and started forcing them into rehab. Nothing that has been done up this point has worked. The problem has only compounded exponnentially under the current system.

I was talking to Katt when I brought that up, not you. Of course, you didn't read the rest of it.

So? You were still seen with him, so you two are business partners, according to your own logic.

What do you call seeing literally hundreds of them in a ten block walk, where their tent cities are ignored by local authorities?

The guy in line ahead of you at the supermaket might be a convicted car thief. Stop associating with car thieves. Get the point? All you're promoting here is guilt by association. Was your college professor cooking meth? You have no way of knowing yes or no on that, do you? If he had done any of that and gets arrested for it, does that mean you were in business with him? Yes, according to your own line of thinking, because you were seen in the same classroom with him.

Jury or no jury... what was done is called railroading.

Because Epstein was a moron.

Because he was a moron.

I'm not interested in your clickbait.

What else do you do? If it takes you twenty four hours to have the coffee come out black, you're probably one of those guys who use a quarter teaspoon of grinds for a liter.

I really need some battered fish.

That's for Governor Sanders to deal with.

Seems like overkill.

Take a walk through Kensington and find out.

So, you don't know the difference. God help you if you ever go to court.

It never ends, I just want the normalization of it to end.

Well, this is what having valid identification is all about.

Like water? No, it's definately a coffee flavor without the bitter oil that comes with hot brewing. The colder you brew it, the more time it takes. Mine runs ten to twelve hours.
