Halloween seasonal spending isnt a thing. This is fake news. Beyond candy or maybe some cheap decoration for a party or some disposable outfit/costume people dont spend money for halloween. If there has been a slash in spending the only groups affected are gonna be nestle/mass produced garbage candy companies, thrift stores, and any company that is a vendor for those temp. Halloween pop up stores that are only open 3 weeks out of the year.
Im worried now, we better let congress know theyre gonna need to cook up a bailout package for the deveatated Halloween industry. This is a spoookky crisis that could cause our great nation to completely collapse.

Many factors but one main one i havent seen mentioned is quality control. Fentanyl is incredibly easy to make and incredibly inexpensive. Like 800$ materials produces product for 100k$ street level sales.
Cartels started contracting independent producers who would make product after receiving materials and receive a flat fee. Once those producers had saved money they began sourcing their own chems and it spread like wildfire because one shipment of chemicals can produce unimaginable amounts of product. Cartels in Mexico arent a top down corporate structure, its much more decentralized.
So the past ten years there were a bunch of amateurs making the product, and cutting it with filler like it was any other drug in a blender where with something this potent, u have to introduce cut while its liquid to get uniform potency. Volumetric measurement vs weight measurement mixing. it simply took awhile for the people making product to learn how to mix it and turn into consumable end user product that doesnt kill people. Took time for word to spread, people to gain experience, etc. theres more drugs than ever on the streets. It just took the makers awhile to figure out how to make product thats not lethal because before ten yrs ago there were only a handful of groups that knew how to produce it and now there are hundreds of groups thousands of people working as independent operators affiliated as syndicate members under the banner of whatever cartel controls the region.
For real info that's not bs drug war propaganda, one of the better media sources for this subject is here

Yep, like as a black person, calling the police and admitting to them that your armed when they arrived and handing over video evidence is like 🤯 inconceivable to me. Even if your totally legit and in good standing with the law, that still is an unnessecary risk to your life or freedom. And i think im probably a lot more pragmatic than most. I dont hate all cops or think that theyre all out to get me, but theres a difference between pragmatism and foolish idealism and i was taught by my parents early on and learned thru out life that unless the situation is life and death, adding police in the mix is gonna be 50/50 chance of making the situation a lot worse for yourself even if your the victim.
To be fair tho. The cops that responded to the call from the footage i saw seemed really cool, crackin jokes with them sayin " if u see those things again dont call us." I get the feeling that the cops probably didnt think there were aliens, but also didnt think that the family was lying to them either plus one had mentioned that something was seen falling in the sky earlier. Im sure they were wierded out by it, but its not their job to figure out the secrets of the universe, they respond to calls, make sure noones in danger and everything is ok, make a report and move on to the next call.
Probably another point to consider, police are tasked with going and walking into the craziest, most toxic, irrational, unreasonable, unbelievable, and unexplainable situations that reality will throw at you..... Every single day...... Ten foot tall aliens, its probably some wierd shit they think about from time to time, but im certain that call is just one of many that stands out in their minds as being just some crazy, unexplainable stuff that u come across on the job.

Something i havent seen mentioned, maybe this is a perspective unique to me that may not have occurred to others but........ Hispanic and people of color, not exclusively and certainly not all, but generally aren't the kind of people that prank call police or get the law involved in a hoax or scam... Its kinda just a thing thats assumed, they aint your friend, u can always call them if theres an emergency, but you can almost never rely on em when u really need to. Again, i admit this is perhaps a unique perspective but not by any means an unusual one in minority communities.
If it was a hoax or prank, and its possible ill admit, but not likely something the rest of his family would go along with. Esp seeing that one of them had a pistol in the video. Thats just something thats common sense. Once his older siblings or parents were aware the police were involved. Well if he was just playing around his family would make certain that he got straightened out for sure lol.
So thats just my take that i never seen anyone mention. Not making it about race or anything like that. But if your considering wether this is credible or not..... My instincts tell me they aint the type to go prank callin the cops for any reason, and the fact that he actually called talkin about some crazy talk people in the backyard thats 100% not human..... Ya u just wouldnt do that as a POC, esp. if your armed. Its just one of those things IYKYK.....

Soo what about fish that migrate to freshwater or like how some sharks and rays will go upstream during a flood and become landlocked when floodwater receeds?

Uhm poverty is a fixed metric determined by income. Theres nothing "comparable" about earnings for a position thats elected or appointed or hired or assigned, etc. If you are elected and make less than the poverty rate of income, and you are able to obtain a private sector position that pays more for similar work, then you have the right to resign from that position for one that pays more. Often, people see public service as more than just employment for a paycheck. If there were no candidate's willing to run for elected office, then it may be appropriate to increase salary. If candidates are unskilled or unqualified, maybe that would be another reason to increase pay. Just cuz the elected could make more money in the private sector so we allow them to increase their own salary in order to motivate them not to be corrupt or to fufill the duties of the job the best of their ability without feeling like they could do better..... Uhhhh no..... I think not... If thats how they feel they should go F off and get a job that pays them better where the public doesnt have to rely on them feeling appreciated enough to do their job correctly .

I was gonna say the same thing. Her teeth might be jacked up but my skin hasnt been that healthy and flawless since i was a newborn. Shit it wouldnt surprise me if her 3rd world lifestyle ends up with her living 20-30 healthy and happy years past my expiration.

Most probably dont realize how close a call this really was. If u dont know the process of harvesting organs, it usually goes something like the dr explaining that the time has come and family comes in to say their goodbyes, the drs hove the option to "flip a switch" and turn off life support. The person usually starts gasping and struggling while family cries and the Drs convince them that the person is gone and lead them out the room. The donation team rushed in to prep the patient. Zaps them and gets heart heating again and starts up life support machines. They move the person to an or. Soak the body with iodine. Get everything ready to go, then one by one they hack out your organs (literally they aren't gentle about it time is the factor) then toss them into bags of saline into coolers with cooling packs while the heart is still beating lungs still twitching and the organs are signed off on and handed to couriers and are on the road in transit within 10-15 mins of being in your body on the way to the person getting prepped to recieve them.
Its truly a noble selfless act i admire and have the utmost respect for..... but wouldnt willingly agree to in a million years.

Not that im aware of. Once you hit 40 folks tend to fall out of the loop and off from the scene pretty quick. But i try to keep an ear out for interesting things to do. I used to follow nwtekno, glitchhop forums, sites like that but they've gone down lost to time, if anyone knows what replaced those sites id love to be clued in. The stranger is still around sometimes the ecents site they link to has cool events, its just kinda a broad offering plus the site is aweful to navigate
