Should have and would have, sure. Could have? I dunno, NY has been dominated by liberals for as long as I can remember. Any exceptions - such as Pataki, or when Republicans controlled the NY Senate - seem to have just been RINOs.

lol... no shit, Sherlock. That doesn't make it any less disgusting, and it completely misses the point. The proper answer to a large landmass ruled by a concentration of population is to separate the two to ensure adequate representation of interests. The reality is that upstate and downstate...

I cooked an entire Thanksgiving meal this past weekend, stuffed 5 people and had 5 huge belly-busting leftover meals for the freezer. Turkey, mashed potatoes, butternut squash, stuffing, corn, asparagus, gravy. I am pretty sure I spent no more than $25 on the entire meal. $11 for the turkey...

It's in court right now...

From that article: 13 counties. 13 counties out of 62 are what chose our governor. Disgusting.

Even before the recent-ish court decision, many non-residents had licenses by following the method. The law did not prohibit non-residents from possessing a license, it prohibited non-residents from applying for a license. And the only thing the law said about a resident moving was that they...

I've always been surprised that no one has started coming out with vacuum-sealed clothing. Infinity % improvement over trapped-air insulating. I mean, I get some of the technical barriers. I just figure someone somewhere would have figured something out to get around them.

Picked up a .30-06 with a scope from a gun raffle the other day. That's three guns from two raffles in the past year, all large caliber rifles, which is something I was lacking. I hacked this raffle. 10 guns, only 500 tickets. I bought 10 tickets, which gave me an 18.26% chance of winning at...

The thing is, policies don't override the law. Anyone can write a policy and it can stand until it's tested in the courts. Also working against them is the term "reasonable suspicion." It's been pretty well defined in courts and definitely has to be more than a hunch. Now, as someone mentioned...

That's the thing, they can't... if they could, they would have already. They had no reasonable suspicion, they just knew he was a gun owner.

Yup. I was always a cream-and-sugar guy, until one day I started working at a garage where we had coffee, but no cream and sugar. A few weeks later, I had a cream-and-sugar coffee and almost spit it out. Crazy how that works.

I hear you on this, and agree. I'm being pragmatic... the reality is, it's politically impossible to get rid of welfare. It's just not going to happen. But we might be able to reduce the cost, fraud, appeal, and nutritional issues. That's worth something... billions, in fact.

I think limiting the per-person carry would prevent that. Say, one bag of potatoes, one bag of rice, etc. Enough to last weeks or a month, even, but not enough to make collecting and shipping worth the cost.

I have a plan that would ensure no one would go hungry, and would save us 80%+ of the costs of our current programs. I call it the "beans and rice" plan, and it is pretty similar to what you're saying here. Basically, in every area, there should be a warehouse filled with bags of quality staple...

Really depends on how the payouts go. If a payout is inversely proportional to income, then I'm against it. If a payout is proportional to taxes paid in, I'm for it. That's the difference between wealth transfer and tax reduction.

AI lies, all the time. I used it to search for something for work, and it just made up some complete bullshit. It claimed software libraries that don't exist, did :ROFL:

Don't worry, the tolls will all go away when the initial construction costs are paid off. I mean, that's what the state told us back when it was built, and SURELY they wouldn't lie. Right? ...Right? Oh...

Sentence seems right to me. Not because he is transgender, but because he didn't actually attempt the murder. He prepared for it, went to Kavanaugh's house, then called the police on himself.

Well, remember that it never comes back down, it's really just about how fast it continues to rise. And a lot of the impacts of inflation are delayed, since the inflation hits the cost of the raw materials that then have to be made into stuff that then needs to be shipped overseas and stocked on...

Oh, I'm fully aware that my $300 check is actually costing me $3000. Just like how I make too much for my daughter to qualify for free community college, but am obligated to pay for everyone who does qualify. Or how we paid, what, a million dollars per $50k/yr job with StartUp NY. The list...
