  • He’s an asshole, but he’s right. SCOTUS is supposed to be the last stop for constitutional rights. They can even block presidential directives if they are what they (Scotus) perceive as unconstitutional. However we’ve recently learned that there’s a couple of members with sugar daddies and saying something like this isn’t only piss poor timing, it’s basically saying that Alito believes himself to be untouchable and infallible with authority over congress. Now keep in mind that we as American citizens make the ultimate vote (by the majority) to fill congressional seats to cater to the majority’s needs, Alito is saying that SCOTUS is untouchable and infallible to the people




  • You’re absolutely right. However there were rules and amenities put in place way before we were born

    I’ll give you an example. When I worked as a utility locator, I caught a GC’s team doing HARD drugs on a construction site. I reported it to the county. Nothing happened. Same team, same habits. I would speak to the GC directly about their teams, and they didn’t care.

    A week passes and the entire site is roped off with police tape. A heavy machinery operator from that team ended up running a cleaner over in one of those JLG cherry pickers with the monster truck tires. Turns out he had meth and thc in his system. He was fired. No charges towards the individual or the GC because it was chalked up to a workplace accident.

    Now why were they able to get away with that you ask? GC’s have to maintain state and county contracts and they even do work for the counties and states. They literally have all the power when it comes to construction. The only real way to get a GC shut down is if there are multiple accidents resulting in an unusual number of injuries or death. But even then, that’s usually when the feds and OSHA get involved







  • Most of the experiences I had are mod abuse. For example I’m waiting for a six day ban to be lifted so I can start deleting all of my comments.

    The reason I got banned was because I was constantly asking why I couldn’t get unmanned for following their rules, and then they would get pissy and mute. This last time is kind of the driving force for me leave reddit. There are far too many mods that are like and they are going to get worse because they reddit is taking power away from the good and letting the bad mods run wild. My opinion




  • Never used the 3rd party apps, but I can understand why people were upset.

    I wasn’t on reddit for long. Maybe a 5 years at most. But my biggest concern with it all were just the people themselves and I don’t necessarily think there’s anything that can be done about that. There’s always going to be just enough shitty people to make a bad time. The only difference with reddit is the people that would make a bad time had the authority to ban you. And adding that Big reddit gives no fucks about the end user, well, it was just time to go
