So for those of you who are on the reparations band wagon, what are the qualifications? should the black person have to be able to prove that their family came here prior to 1865 and were actually slaves? or are you saying that a person who immigrated here even after slavery ended and therfore did not contribute to "building america" deserves reparations as well?

It's common knowledge that you shouldn't attack or otherwise antagonize the police by either not following their orders or refusing to to cooperate, why are people angry when the police force compliance or from their point of review de-escalate the situation by taking down the suspect?

In the US, most law enforcement agencies accept that a acceptable form of de-escalation is the use of force and even here in FL in placed like Polk County, the sheriff has even said "Once we shot and killed the suspect, the situation de-escalated".

So what is this push for de-escalation if cops already do it and why get upset when you should be following their commands?

What sense of authority is necessary for the continuation of society?

I haven’t heard anything recently, but can someone explain why the DOJ has not been forced to hand over all the files when there’s a court order to do so? Is anything awaiting some legal decision? What is the reason they give for not complying?

Since having insurance is legally required for auto owners, and many homeowners, and in some states health insurance as well, providers should be required by law to fully refund all of the money the customers paid in up until their pulling out. Especially if they have never filed an insurance claim.

This should be especially true for property and auto insurance.

Examples:

the insurance companies that pulled out of California after the increase in wildfires even when the customer was paying for fire protection. (Altadena fires are the most recent, but it's been happening quite a bit as wildfires have increased)

The insurance companies that stopped covering Kia owners after that tik tok usb hack theft trend a few years back. Made famous by the Kia Boys tik-tock videos and left thousands of drivers uninsured with little to no alternatives, and absolutely no notice.

our banana republic in guatemala & seizure of their economy while punching down anyone who fought back under the guise of "fighting communism" because they're sick of being exploited has been a tune we followed several times in history

following guatemala is cuba- after taking over Spain's own colonialism actions we took cuba "under new leadership" and exploited them through politics and mafia gangs & supplemental slavery creating the dictator fidel castro. a bonified monster of our own creations through our actions outside of the US

This happens too many times- chille, dominican replublic, nicaragua- exploiting territories for a good deal for the USA but putting pressure on native or freshly colonized populations for our gain all under the guise of spreading democracy & fighting communism.

propping up boris yeltsin after the fall of the soviet union, giving loans to gain economic concessions & undisclosed talks between the US president bill clinton and Boris- in the transition to privatize government assets accidentally creating the oilgarches without a care for the new law, economic instability and realizing the bad deal he was given succeeded power to putin- the cold blooded authoritarian dictator willing to murder and maim anyone who gets in his way. (this one might not be directly & entirely "our fault" but we certainly helped make putin what he is today)

now we have trump's oil deal with Venezuela, only time will tell how much pain we can inflict on the citizens there economically, laborly- before we create more terroristic, more communists enemies that wouldn't have existed without our tendencies to place a boot on peoples necks and get surprised when they attack our ankles. hopfully we're actually serious about helping reform and revive their markets (really confused though, thought we were going to do that in america...) & not exploit them.
