Lessons to be learned from the Kavanaugh Hearing

[The Great Zaganza]

Why on earth would you compare government agencies with for-profit companies?`

If they perform the same role, why not?

“The trouble with socialism is socialism; the trouble with capitalism is capitalists.” -William F. Buckley

Companies don't run better because of capitalism. Capitalism only makes it easier for businesses with apparent potential to raise capital. But because of the need to appear successful at all times, market-funded companies might have to sacrifice long-term benefits for short-term profits.

 

[TheL8Elvis]

Yeah, the very next line is:

Yes, carry out.

Not on premises.
Understand now ?

ETA: explained already:

Do you live in Tennessee? I don't. Are all alcohol sales carry out in Tennessee? Nope. I bought many beers in Tennessee a few months ago and never had to show ID.

Your graphic is lying. Intentionally.

Do you want to move to the next lie or stick with this one?

 

[The Great Zaganza]

If they perform the same role, why not?

they never do.

Gotta keep the façade full and in place! Gotta keep peddling the lie about how great (rah! rah!) capitalism is and how bad (boo! hiss!) government is, as the First Great Dear Leader Reagan had preached from on high.

I'm not saying you are wrong, but you gleaned far more from these hearings than I did. I may need to rewatch them.

Kavanaugh didn't get his beer from his parents' fridge.

 

[Dr. Keith]

Kavanaugh didn't get his beer from his parents' fridge.

Ah, that was pure capitalist propaganda wrapped up in a beer boofing story! Got it!

Sorry for juicing the piglet.

My bold. Wrong.

Quote:

2017 ORS 811.550¹
Places where stopping, standing and parking prohibited:


(5) Within an intersection. Exemptions under ORS 811.560 (Exemptions from prohibitions on stopping, standing or parking) (4) to (7) are applicable to this subsection.

(6) On a crosswalk. Exemptions under ORS 811.560 (Exemptions from prohibitions on stopping, standing or parking) (4) to (7) are applicable to this subsection.

Hi, class! I've been out. It was like thunder, lightning, .... the way you love me is frightening.... well except for that last part. We had a lightning strike within about fifty/sixty metres of our house and it blew out all sorts of circuitry, and included the frying of my modem.

But, say, has anyone pointed out to River that municipalities have their own traffic codes? In Portland, the above is superseded. And the paramount clause (so to speak) is that if there is a joint green (walk light and turn light, say), PEDESTRIANS IN INTERSECTIONS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY. Vehicles may make the turn IF THE INTERSECTION IS CLEAR.

 

[River]

Can you link to Portlands codes concerning crosswalks and pedestrian traffic? Mine link was the state laws. If the quote above is the same, it's illegal to stop/stand in a crosswalk or intersection. (on foot, or in a vehicle)

Please cross-check. You have to find one section that defines an intersection, even without crosswalk demarcation, as a crosswalk. All crosswalk rules apply. Drivers who have a turn light have to yield to pedestrians. Period.

Oh, and they refer to ORS throughout. This is the Oregon law so your previous cites were misinterpretation. Just read the first few sections.

I assume you drive. Do you know of any jurisdiction where taking a turn doesn't require you to yield to oncoming(straight through) traffic whether vehicular or pedestrian?

I've written them to get clarification on the issue of blocking crosswalks and intersections, and what my rights might be as a pedestrian and as a driver in those situations. Will post the reply as it comes.

can you also post an affidavit of the killer driver about what he thought were the relevant traffic laws?
Because if you are not currently planning on driving over protesters, why would it matter what you think was legal or not?

Are you looking for a second opinion? You have the link and the law is stated pretty clearly. Which part are you having trouble with?

The part where he admits he's wrong.

Dear River,

If a pedestrian blocks your path for over five minutes and refuses to get out of your way please feel free to run them over!

Sincerely,
The State of Oregon

they never do.

??? Nonsense, private postal services, private doctors, private buses, private.....

??? and this relates to the government how? It makes much less sense to compare government or private business to parents.

Typical. Christine Ford was in the news all day every day for weeks. The ultimate victim who must be believed. Now that she is no longer "useful" to the Left, "pfffft," gone in a puff of smoke.

-- Bill Mitchell (Oct 19, 2018)

She was well compensated ($700,000) for her carefully scripted and teary-eyed performance. That money can be put to good use -- she can add a 3rd front door.
