Assault Against the 2nd Amendment

This whole thread has got so far off topic it might as well be closed and started over.

 

Sounds like a Wealth Redistribution Scheme to me. Take money from the Evil Corporations and payoff the voters to make sure they vote for the right kind of Political Party.

 

So why are other store closing that has nothing to do with Walgreens. Individual store or corporate chain. If only Walgreens were closing then you can argue that Crime was not the cause, but other stores are closing in the same area as Walgreens. Some chain stores, a lot of individually owned stores. Singling out the cause of Walgreens closing because they are fighting a lawsuit is a Red Herring.

 

Threads evolve in its messaging. Closing a thread just because you don't like what is being said is wrong.

 

I think we are having two different conversations. I brought up Walgreens to Dane because Walgreens are not closing due to "High Crime". They are closing locations because of the constant legal issues the company as a whole they keep getting caught up in between wage theft and not following DEA rules on tracking ID. I was differentiating between that Company and others. I have no idea, back office, why others are closing. It might be theft. I would question that as insurance makes the whole on that.

Yes people. Most large companies have insurance that makes them whole on "shrinkage" no matter how often they deny it and claim that "shrinkage makes them raise prices because they lose money". Mom and Pop? Maybe. Walmart, CVS, etc? They have insurance and likely file, once a year at least, a "shrinkage" claim.

 

It sounds like the reverse of the, as I have heard others call it, "Alaska Bribe". Where citizens all get a check from oil revenues, and some CLAIM it is a "bribe" to not oppose drilling

 

There are thousands of victims that want to own guns. And there are millions of people who don't want to become victims. Those protesting for gun control, want the government to protect them. Those against gun control, want to protect themselves.

 

Where did I mention that I didn't like what was being said?

 

The "Alaska Bribe" as you call it, is part of the Alaskan Constitution, and is in affect no matter the Political Party that's in charge. The Alaskans are sharing in the profits of Alaska's natural resources. The Canada deal is only one sided. The liberal government is penalizing one group, to give to another group, while keeping a portion for themselves. So I would classify them different in intent.

I think Saudi Arabia has a similar deal to Alaska, maybe Kuwait too.

 

If you think the posts in a thread is going off-topic, then you should move the posts to another thread or a new thread.

 

Or just delete the thread?

 

You've done that too.

 

The carbon tax is levied at the consumer level. All person/entities purchasing carbon based fuels pay a tax.The proceeds of the tax are then distributed to all Canadian residents. Supposedly 100% of the money is redistributed and the Federal Government keeps none of it (believe that if you wish, I don't).
Personally I think the whole idea is idiotic.
