Any time anybody, including me, mentions being skeptical of it, or worried that it will come down to hit everyone else, or not really trusting it, you get an immense amount of toxicity.

I've been called MAGA, told I'm a Russian propaganda bot, that I'm stupid and watch Republican podcasts, and just overall insults and bullying thrown my way about how I'm insanely stupid if I'm not in full support of it.

I don't really understand this. Why is it so wrong to be skeptical? Why is it stupid to be worried? What is wrong with thinking about it? Why am I not allowed to have any reaction other than "Hell yeah! Tax the rich!"

They have never once promised it won't come to the rest of us. It's not in writing, it's not in the bill, they haven't mentioned this at all. There is reason to be worried about this.

But you aren't allowed to.
You just get swarmed by people insulting you and saying you're either stupid, a bot or MAGA and that's the only reason anyone would ever be skeptical of it.

Someone dropped the ball

The payout seems excessive.

“Evergreen said the school district’s insurers made the decision to settle, to “avoid the risk of a jury verdict exceeding the district’s available insurance coverage.”

Can anyone tell me if these props would give the police money to buy flock (or comparable tech) as in "infrastructure upgrades"?

I will NOT vote for the police to conduct warrantless searches and invade mine and my communities privacy.

The wording is pretty ambiguous

There were at least ten other people who had parked at the scenic view point to also admire the sunset. Lucky to live in a state that's beautiful all over!
