A native walks into a bar and orders a beer.
The waitress says" Sorry I can't serve you"
The native is upset and what's to know why,
The waitress says "Because beer is a German cultural icon, and has no relation to native culture. You can't appropriate our beer."
The native says "That's racist"
The waitress says " Why? You wrote the rules sir". | 0non-toxic

I think this will be a futile experiment. Vacancy taxes have been tried especially is Paris - apparently some success. Far and few between mainly because it is really difficult to enforce - cost far exceeds the benefits. If you want to provide an incentive to folks to rent - why not offer a property tax discount to property owners and similarly ask the BC Provincial Government to offer rental deduction/credit for folks that rent on the Income Tax return like they do in Manitoba and Ontario. The later makes it more affordable and offers a way for the CRA and BC to cross reference those folks that don't report rental income (pretty sure there is a illegal black market for rentals). Both the BC NDP and Robertson are outta ideas and do not care about affordability - grasping at straws. You can't send messages to investors that you are open for business and investment and turnaround and tax them for doing exactly that - both the foreign ownership and vacancy tax is not good policy. | 0non-toxic

Mr Barnhart in more simple terms you are a liar. Nothing you wrote is accurate. You have used shaded example's and selected blame tactics in an attempt to make every one feel guilty. I would love to have a debate with you in a public setting on your inability to argue the merits of this sales tax with facts rather then the mean out of touch taxpayers who refuse to rubber stamp everything you and your partner Peter tax them till they squeal Cortney try to slip in. In fact bring him along . You 2 bring your arguments I'll bring mine. Set it up I'll be there how about the fair grounds. Only rule is you must be able to back what you say in verifiable facts.

It was unwise at best, no argument there. But I still believe that as a society we do not condone nor would we accept the kind of open brutality we see from the North Koreans on a regular basis. It is hard to compare their geo-political situation with ours, and that is not really what I meant in any case. This young man suffered terribly at their hands, and as the mother of millennials who travel extensively I understand that you can try to explain how stealing a banner here is a very different crime than it is there, you can raise them and educate them and warn them but many are still going to try to save the world in their naive assurance that good conquers evil. That they are somehow safe in that trust. I often disagree with WHOM they trust, and their politics, but they wield that trust with courage. It is a great strength of Americans, IMO, while sometimes being our downfall. I place the blame on the people who hurt him so terribly and it breaks my heart for his family. | 0non-toxic

Trudeau and his high school student council administration are a national embarrassment
Mr. Trudeau was elected first as an MP and then as leader of the Liberal Party because of who his father was. He wasn't elected because he had great ideas, or because of major accomplishments in any field of endeavor, or because he articulated principles or plans or concepts that he had learned and tested through experience and thought could be implemented for the betterment of Canada and Canadians.
Mr. Trudeau has never managed anything, so could not have had any concept of what is required to accomplish things through other people, both politicians and bureaucrats.
And to top it off, Mr. Trudeau doesn't seem to be a "quick study" - I have yet to see evidence of much substance beneath the surface of all the broken promises. | 0non-toxic

Wow, this is just an upward redistribution of money, take from the needy, working poor, disabled, elderly, and retirees to give to the big oil. The majority in Juneau would rather take from the needy than stand a chance of angering their puppet masters. They know most Alaskans are dumb and have short memory. By tomorrow at noon, most dumb Alaskans will forget this. I would rather they take a good critical and analytical look at SB21. Just as long as we have a Republican majority in Juneau, that will never happen. History shows governments do much better under Democratic administrations than Republican one. Sheeple are brainwashed that Democrats are bad for government when history shows otherwise, facts just don't matter to stupid. | 1toxic

I speak from several experiences. I have firsthand experience with family members with mental disabilities. I didn't have to 8th grade because I had a 10th grade aptitude having taught myself.

This whole debacle will be another nail in the coffin of so-called "Hawaiian" culture. As our economy becomes ever more dominated by tourism, the military, and wealthy retirees, the best and brightest young people of all cultural backgrounds, including Hawaiian, will have to leave if they want careers doing anything besides changing sheets and bedpans. This is already happening. A local high school counselor I know held a reception for the top honor students graduating last year. She asked those who thought they would be living and working in Hawaii after college to raise their hands. Only three out of 41 did so, and one of them said she was iffy. And there won't be very many jobs teaching other Hawaiians how to be radicals at UH. Those are taken by people who created this mess. | 0non-toxic

I agree that St John Paul and Benedict did not stem the flow although they tried to. Vatican II opened Pandora’s box and once opened there was no shutting it.
It is also true that the world changed too. You say not an evil change but in fact the change was in an evil direction, the wholesale rejection of a prewar ‘christian’ moral consensus manifested by acceptance of abortion, sexual licence, promiscuity, homosexuality, divorce, etc. The Church could not possibly acquiesce in any rapprochement with these trends, JPII and BXVI did not compromise but neither did they oppose this culture vigorously enough, academically maybe but not evangelically.
By the early eighties it had become manifestly obviously that VII had not only failed in its objective of renewal but it had contributed to this failure. Retrenchment was called for but never happened, the barque was allowed to drift and I hate to say it was eventually abandoned to its fate by BXVI. | 0non-toxic

Computer programs like this are forced to be made to show some modicum of objectivity because lawmakers don't want to be accused of 'raaaacism' by black racialists and white Liberals on something we all know. Here's the good news about facts and statistics: they don't care about your feelings.
Blacks- specifically men- commit a grossly disproportionate amount of crime. There. That's a fact. According to FBI data, 4,906 black people murdered other blacks in 2010 and 2011. White males are 40 percent of the population and committed 4,582 murders. That same year, black males were just 6.6 percent of the population but committed a staggering 5,531 murders (http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf)
Employment history and family structure are also important: so why do Leftists refuse to accept that almost 75% of blacks are raised by absentee and single parents?

"In an age when we're supposed to believe that culture explains everything, this a heretical opinion. Unfortunately, it's grounded in sound science. Social psychologist Lee Jussim, writing in Psychology Today, points out that gender differences in interests are well established in the research. There's more. Far more girls than boys are strong in both math and verbal skills.
By contrast, far more boys are strong in math alone. People who are strong in both areas are less likely to pursue STEM careers. In other words, girls have far broader options and far more interest in working with people than boys do. Thus, the gap."
While I agree with you, this statement, phrased differently is exactly what got James Damore fired at Google, one of the biggest STEM employers on the planet.

I've noticed that most folks don't change their mind about a strongly held belief until something personal happens to them. For example, the Republican promoting a gun control law after his son committed suicide. Sadly most Trump voters are already close to tragedy. They will need to see their loved ones die unnecessarily or become homeless before they will change their minds. They will have no one to blame but themselves. I expect to see a spike in murder suicides the next 4 years. They all have easy access to guns and little access to mental health services. | 0non-toxic

Pacific Seafoods is a monopoly, even though that was adjudicated recently in favor of Pac. A mean, cutthroat monopoly. That is one of the results when NMFS began to give fisheries to participants, in an effort to stop "derby" fisheries, which the dungie fishery still is. Now your fish quotas are either owned by processors like Pac or by large LLC owners of several boats. The whole of the fisheries except trolling and crab, the one day halibut long line fishery, are in the hands of a few boats, boat owning groups, or processors. The coastwise processing of crabs is dominated by Pac and this is what you get: a monopoly setting prices. The good question is what price are crab being sold to retailers for? A monopoly controls both sides of the contract. The consumer loses. It is becoming that way in most food production effort in the US. Ask a sheep grower, a milk producer, hog producer, chicken growers. Support farmer markets, fishers selling off the boat. | 0non-toxic

The writer says options when the Legislature convenes in January will be less palatable than simply using the fund's earnings as voters in 1976 intended when by a 2 to 1 margin they approved a constitutional amendment establishing the Permanent Fund.
If he supports doing what the voters intended, then surely he wants to abide by the vote of the people in 1999, when 83.25%- a 4 to 1 margin- of his fellow Alaskans said no to the following:
"Question: After paying annual dividends to residents and inflation-proofing the permanent fund, should a portion of permanent fund investment EARNINGS (my emphasis) be used to help balance the state budget?
YES or NO”
see https://ballotpedia.org/Alaska_Permanent_Fund_Advisory_Question_(1999)

The Mayor's plan borders on insanity. The current plan was one of the least efficient rail plans for Honolulu.
If the project is stopped at Middle Street it will serve NO ONE well and will become yet another sad example of how government can't do anything right. It is time for Ernie and the rest of the council to get together with the HART people and put this project back on track. Go through the entire budget, cut the fat, force the contractors to adhere to their contract (oh, Dear!!

I'm sure the opponents are celebrating and cheering this pending disaster. But what will Rail Failure really mean to us?? Will it help our city? Will it bring more jobs here?
