As terrifying as a return to company towns is if it's just tech startup dudebros high on grind culture I think it'll be fun to see it finally descend into a madness of cocain-fuelled riots and insurgencies.

Or it just takes our apartheid style gated communities to the next level.

The Republicans will support it because rich people are always right. And they’re not stupid. They’ll hire some blacks (they’re great at basketball) and put up rainbows and BLM propaganda. That way they can buy off the liberals at no cost whatsoever. That’s what they did in San Francisco. Rinse and repeat.

Obviously but the immediate context is that of Silicon Valley tech companies and if Nevada has a bunch of tech startup company towns the dystopian employee cultures that already exist in those corporations devolving to their logical horrifying conclusions would be novel and potentially hilarious.

I hope so.

Hey did you hear two capitol police offed themselves since the Great Insurrection? I wonder why they’re so sad.

The Batlord 02-09-2021 05:34 PM

I know of the one. I don't know if it's disillusionment with the right after being subjected to all that or if they were just people prone to suicide and this was just traumatic in general.

Springsteen got a DUI.

The Asbury Park Press reported Springsteen’s blood-alcohol content was 0.02 — just a quarter of New Jersey’s legal limit — when he was arrested.
Next time someone wonders why people don’t cooperate with this police. If you were a poor nobody this would damn near destroy your life.

Wonder if he was on the way to the Cadillac Ranch? At least he didn't end up as a Wreck on the Highway! Guess his Glory Days are gone; no more Racing in the Street for him.

I'm confused. You can't take a shot and be under the limit and then drive. What if I down a beer at last call and it's the first of the night?

Those pigs were probably just hassling him because he opposed Trump. They were probably hoping he’d lose it and do a Mel Gibson. Almost every time a pig murders someone it starts with an interaction that shouldn’t have even been taking place. They **** with people non-stop then say why does everybody hate us. We’re trying to serve the community.

But boohoo a cop got beat with the flag at the capitol. Waaaaaaa

If he was under the legal limit according New Jersey state law, then the cops don't have a case against him as far as the DUI charge.

I guess they could still try to get him for drinking alcohol in public and reckless driving, though.

Sounds like A-hole cops busting his ass just to be dicks.
