East Cleveland is an interesting place for sure. I have a client there and it’s definitely not in great shape. Their city government is definitely failing them in a big way, and they are also heavily impacted by the issue with suburbs in regards to tax revenue that much of metropolitan Cleveland has had to deal with. For those reading who aren’t up to speed on things, the city of Cleveland, by total landmass, is pretty small. Cuyahoga county itself is composed of 38 cities, 19 villages, and two townships which means that a lot of different areas grant themselves their own individual tax laws and guess what, they all feel like they are paying too much in taxes. So, they decide themselves that they get lower taxes, problem is, the tax revenue required has not actually decreased at all, in fact, by creating a new local government you have now increased the operating costs of your area. So really by having people move into these smaller suburbs you have really just created special groups of individuals who are wealthier, are a greater stress on county resources, and choose to pay less in taxes essentially bleeding the community dry. If you were to pull up a map of Cuyahoga county you will actually get a pretty good laugh. East Cleveland itself is the only outlier in this situation and it exists itself in a very complicated and sad situation that involves redlining, systemic racism, corporate greed and lack of regulation. Ironically its borders are surrounded by some of the wealthiest communities in the state.

Honestly the part that makes me the most upset about the situation is just how easy it is to solve.

Okay but what is the motive for them to do this. You are claiming malice but you aren’t providing a motive for said malice

Thanks for telling me the same thing people have been parroting for an eternity. Check out Occam’s razor

If research is determining otherwise then what would it take to convince you to accept this?

Maybe I’m missing something, what does this advocacy group stand to benefit from banning pitbulls? The NRA is backed by weapons manufacturers. This seems to be people who actually see a problem and are taking actions to help protect people.

And it’s all very well cited. Makes sense why an advocacy group exists for this

Sounds like an this days was based on “so like we asked people months after if they got the alerts and some people said they did and some people said they don’t remember so we counted that as no”

I remember when I was younger RC plane and helicopter community was all about doing night flights with lots of lights and other things on their vehicles. I remember seeing tricking stuff on the fronts of RC hobby magazines with guides on how to do it.

Musk’s trial is a separate case and the amount is $56 billion. Fucking Christ this is absolutely insane

It says it’s $25,000 for a full years treatment

Are you saying IBM isn’t innovative? Dude, they like, effectively invented computers. The stuff they are doing with power10, their big mainframe systems and quantum computers (which I’m not sure if you are aware, aren’t profitable at all). If anything I would say IBM is the company that is innovating, nobody else is getting nearly as far in the future as they are.
