Agreed. Stop subsidizing it. This will obviously hurt the farmers in the area but hey, free market. Insurance isn't a charity.

It probably would. Just wear your most tacti-cool gear and join a group. You'd need several people on board to make a difference though.

Those assholes don't show name or insignia. Show them the problem with that.

I've heard of places organizing many small protests, like a few hundred people, in many nearby neighborhoods. It forces the police to spread out too much to be effective.

Much more likely he'll get paid leave to deal with the "trauma" of the negative attention he'll get.

How are un vaccinated Mennonites Fords fault? He's done a lot wrong but I don't see how this is on him.

It 100% is. It has nothing to do with Ford.

Nine times out of ten it's the second one. I don't mind being a sounding board for some people, but so many sloppy thinkers just don't understand and don't want to make the effort.

That's not true, the kids will figure out they're cosplaying eventually.

The club itself probably is. The restaurant specifically, maybe, maybe not. I've been to a bunch of yacht clubs over the years and the restaurant doesn't always break even. Part of the appeal is having the exclusive spot. If members need to subsidize it, they're often OK with that.

He's got a narrow window to actually accomplish something. We can't have another leader who thinks announcing something is the same as doing it.

I'd we let this get bogged down in process and consultations it's doomed.

I too think in absolutes. Either you're a Christian or a devil worshipper.

Either you're with us, or you're with the terrorists.

Wow, life got much easier when I eliminated nuance.

Sure, but I don't think telling them so is a productive avenue for conversation.
