CURRENT EVENTS - April

Maybe this is dumb question, but why do many assert that we need more people?

Because they can't think beyond the current tax structure

Because they can't think beyond the current tax structure

Or they are very much thinking of the current tax structure and want everyone else to do the same.

If I remember correctly, he worked inside the post office, not as a carrier.

Yes, farce is more accurate than I was, not sure if he actually carried at one time or not. 2 things I remember about rota, he was a USPS worker and that tragedy that happened to his stepson. Rota was good peeps . . !

Damn
Lets get those 15 yr olds to get pregnant

Maybe there's a program that could gather all the young girls on an island somewhere...

It's easy to suggest these sort of "pie in the sky" type solutions. But where are we going to find the man to run such a program and where will we find the sort of President who will champion it?

The best thing to address the birth rate issue would be to take meaningful steps towards addressing housing and affordability, and everyone knows that’s not going to happen.

Yeah, I know that cost-of-living issues like childcare and housing are also some of the main drivers of the low birth rate, but we all know that Republicans aren't going to address those things either. Immigration isn't the magic cure, but it would definitely be a big help in offsetting some of the problems. But of course Republicans don't want that either. Instead they'll just bitch and complain about the declining birthrate and blame "career women" for everything while offering trivial proposals like Trump's tax credit for having a baby, which won't come close to offsetting housing and childcare and other soaring costs of living issues (and I doubt they're serious about that proposal anyway).

“… Police told ABC11 that a fight broke out between Frank Lalich, 35, and a group of people, and that’s what led to the stabbings.…”

Didn't actually read the article, but was there a mention that consumption of alcohol might have been a precursor to the event?

Yes, I recall those. I believe he also posted about getting divorced in the last year or so.

He's had a lot happen to him. But he and his daughter seem to be happy from what he has posted.

Oh yea, he loves movies....

Inopportune for the would-be bomber, anyway.

I feel like there have been a greater-than-usual number of stabbings lately. This, the first incident on the Charlotte light rail that made huge headlines, the second incident on the Charlotte light rail that got less attention, the incident at Cotswold Village in Charlotte.
