Thoughts and Prayers vs Drowning

newtboy says...

I think the dream is still alive, but the odds of living it have gotten exponentially worse in my lifetime. It was never a guarantee, more a lottery, and the percentage paid back to the winners has steadily shrunk.

It's a mad, mad world we live in. I may have confirmation bias from the media coverage, but to me it's tragically ironic that people still don't understand "The American Dream" is very much over for the vast majority of people going to America, as even most of those born in America are very much struggling compared to those in the G7 countries. American may be richer dollar-for-dollar, but standard of living and quality of life? Not so much.

A brush with fentanyl almost killed this deputy trainee

I did a body removal of a male and female sitting in chairs at the kitchen table who overdosed. They were found by a friend.

Their 2 month old baby was found in the crib still alive crying.

Chicago Cop Abandons Woman Being Threatened With A Gun

So this is it then. Personally I am glad that it turned out as it did since obviously everonye is still alive. That being said, if you ask yourself the question above and then back down like he did, you are likely not cut out for civil service while wearing a gun.
High standards, but that's the price of authority.

The cop was probably thinking "If I shoot him, I could lose my job."

Some cops need to reinforce their bravery, pride and cowardice. They should probably do a welfare check on his wife. That is if she is still alive after "accidently" falling down the stairs.

I swear this feels like my life for the last 16 years. And, yes, to this day I feel lucky to be still alive. Sorry to wax personal there; life has been hell.

Bob,

Here's where we agree on something.

I came from amazing wealth, like total top .01%, then lost everything and ended up in absolute poverty. I taught myself a valuable skill and kept building and building on it. It started with shit jobs, but I kept learning and doing more and never stopped believing in myself or in my ability to better my circumstance. I went to college and learned how to learn more efficiently. Even now, I'm improving my skills on a daily basis. 40 years later, now I'm in the 1%.

This is America to me, one part of it: that in America, you at least have a chance -- however small, however improbable -- to better yourself through your own skills, drive and determination. It's not a 100% guarantee, but I honestly haven't seen another country that fosters this attitude.

For the nb, did I have a leg up? Definitely. I was born with an extraordinary mind into a hyper-affluent family. As a child I went to the best public schools in America during a time when education was valued above all else. By the time my mom and I were basically on the street, I had enough base knowledge to build on what I'd already learned. I also took advantage of community college when it was all but free ($50 a semester) and was able to take pretty much any class that interested me. I was also able to afford a computer when they were very expensive and complicated.

Finally, I was born a white male and caught innumerable breaks because of that. I have zero doubt that I am where I am in part to this accident of birth, because I was told by cops, teachers and employers, sometimes quite openly and sometimes in coded language, that I was preferred over non-white people.

For all America's sin -- and many be thy score -- the nucleus of true capitalism is still alive.

Biker shocked as speeding Motorcyclists come right at him

Below is google translated of the videos description...

I am very happy to be able to write to you and to be still alive at the moment after having avoided a few crazy bikers by a few centimeters! What do you think ? How would you have reacted? I specify that the biker on the ground is fine, he is doing with his broken arm - He caught the back of the black car that we can see just before. It is not the biker on my right on the ground but the biker we can see right after who is correctly in his lane. Must say that my friend was right behind me at the time! We were very lucky! A frontal at this speed ... Nobody lives ...! V Piston
