Feeding My Kids Isn’t Selfish, I’m Not Closing The Salon

Someone here pointed out that efficiency requires complexity which entails fragility. Supply chains spanning the globe are an example.

A more robust system is a poorer one and few people will vote to impoverish themselves.

 

Let's hope his opponent can get some traction.

 

It's not going to happen in Dallas. They'll vote overwhelmingly for Alzheimer Joe and straight Dem down ballot. Dallas has voted Dem in the last 3 presidential elections.

Look at 2016 for Dallas County. All the large cities are lost.

This idiot judge's seat on the bench is probably safe for life, unless another Democrat challenges him some day. You don't have to be a good judge to be a judge. You just have to have the proper letter after your name, and "R" ain't it in Dallas.

 

Yup. Plumbers have big wrenches and will knock the teeth out of anyone who tries to make them work for free.

 

I have a son in Collin county and they are feeling the squeeze. Too many outsiders from CA moving in.

 

Of course, Dallas "news" media paints Moyé as a paragon of virtue, decency and blind justice. He may be that generally, but everyone is capable of making a really bad decision once in a while, and jailing this woman while the city is letting criminals out of jail was a very bad decision.

All the large cities sort of look alike in current agenda. They're all going "green", which is having the effect of dumping tons of money into downtown skyscraper apartments with no parking lots, painting bicycle lanes in every nook and cranny, "renovating" older areas of town which attracts wealthy young white hipsters (yes, many from unaffordable California) - gentrifies what used to be the affordable homes for the poor working class minorities, and raising property taxes to cover the costs....which pushes more of the poor out of the large cities. That's how Democrats "solve" poverty. They make it to expensive to make a living in their cities.

Anyway, complain as they may about "urban sprawl not being green", it is the large cities' "green" mayors who are pushing working class people out to the surrounding counties and smaller towns. Unfortunately, people don't get it. They move to more affordable towns which were solid red and affordable for decades, and keep voting blue. Now we see surrounding counties start their own "green initiatives", with the same game plan, and cost of living is increasing in those towns as well.

 

We live in the suburbs of a very left wing city. They have eliminated most downtown parking, replaced individual homes with 600sq ft. apartments and condos for the young and stupid, pushed through light rail projects that do nothing but spread crime, mandate re-useable grocery bags, sacrificed road construction for bike lanes that go unused, and shutdown beautiful parkways for walkers.
Now with this pandemic, they have found just about everything they have mandated is wrong. Light rail shut down, no more re-useable bags allowed, all the close living millennial style apartments house those living in fear of catching the Chinese virus, Uber rides down 90%, etc. We now never hear word one out of these little young mayors with nothing to offer but good looks and their head up their ass. Now, they want to hire 4200 government workers just to track the Chinese virus, meanwhile, the tennis nets are taken down because of social distancing.

We are in a very desirable suburb where home values are skyrocketing just to avoid all the city BS, so we can sell our house quickly for five times what we have invested and I assure you all that cash along with our other investments will move to an income tax free state.

It was great to see Ted Cruz getting a haircut in this great lady's salon. I hope she puts the $500,000 plus in her go fund me account to good use.
I wonder if that asshat Cuomo will try to collect taxes on her for any money donated out of NY.
We have a daughter and grandkids nearby or we would be long gone.

 

I guess it depends upon how you are defining slavery.

 

I did not make the claim you attribute to me.

 

The judge was following the governor's proclamation, but I know he is innocent because he is a white Republican and the judge is the devil because he is black and a Democrat.

 

This same judge also allegedly got into a shoving match a few days ago with another judge.

https://www.dallasnews.com/news/cri...ty-courthouse-two-judges-go-after-each-other/

"Judge Cortez was physically assaulted by Judge Moye in Judge Cortez's chambers," Mandel said. "Judge Moye's conduct is being investigated by the Sheriff's Department."

 

There are so many unqualified in the judiciary, pompous clowns like from a Dickens novel.

 

I'll leave your racist comments aside, and say that while following the state guidelines in judging the salon owner, it was entirely up to the judge to just give her an appropriate small fine which correlated with the severity of the "crime" she committed....or to go a the most extreme sentence and fine her $7,000 and a 7 day jail sentence. He could have let her off with another slap on the wrist, given that her reason for the "crime" was feeding her children.

 

All he did was ask her to apologize for breaking the rules and she would be set free. She ripped up the papers and said no....I have raised 4 kids and was self employed for 35 years and not once did my kids do without when a recession hit and my business was out of action, I would get work from anywhere doing anything. There are food banks and SNAP, relatives, her husband..and PPP loans for small businesses..Out of the options available she decided to break the rules...That was her choice and from the incident at the border the Repubs claim that laws must be followed even if it means sending kids to dirty cells and them dying while in custody to prove their hardness for the law.

 

That is a major issue with a politically divided partisan country, and where people only have two major-party choices. It opens running for office up to a bunch of grifters, opportunists, and political activist hacks.

Judges are supposed to be impartial and non-partisan. The judiciary branch at the voter-elected level has become corrupted across the country.

 

Look at what the judiciary has done to the jury system in this country. By way of the Sparf decision, it has become illegal for a defense attorney to say the term jury nullification.

A republic, and we couldn't keep it.

 

The republic died in 1929...

 

Some say it was the same year they created the Fed.

 

Telling jurors about jury nullification is not illegal. Juror rights educators do this frequently outside courthouses, without incident. In the rare cases where people are arrested for doing so, they have generally prevailed if they are following the outreach guidelines from the Fully Informed Jury Association (FIJA).

 

Which one, before it was called the Federal Reserve it was called:
The National Monetary Commission, 1907-1913

 

Every elected office should have more than two people running for the seat.

We stopped teaching civics a long time ago, and yes, the republic is crashing and burning.

 

I like FIJA. No it's not illegal, though people have been arrested for it, to educate fellow citizens outside the courthouse, and I owe a debt of gratitude to those good souls who do that.

But the sad thing is that it has become worthy of a contempt of court citation from the judge if the defense attorney mentions jury nullification and certain other facts to the jury. Very sad, but very true. If you know a criminal defense attorney, ask him and he will confirm.

That is the sad situation here in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, that censorship thrives in the system meant to deliver justice.

 

The one after the meeting at Jekyll Island which gave us the Federal Reserve Act, early 1900s
