  1. That's what they generally decide to argue during due process. Now is there abuse...of course. But change the law to reduce that...not disregard it altogether. Cheers!
  2. If you pay your auto insurance monthly in the UK, most insurers provide a 7-14 day grace period on a missed payment. Cheers!
  3. I'm sure there is abuse...no different than what we are seeing on the opposite end now. Children being swept up...families broken apart...legal citizens incorrectly rounded up...not sure wrongs on both sides make everything ok. If you are the child of an illegal, but have birthright citizenship, but don't have your documentation because your parents held it or misplaced it...they sweep you up. If you are an approved asylum seeker, but misplaced your documentation...they sweep you up. If you entered the country legally, but misplaced your documentation...they sweep you up. I'm not sure how much clearer I can get on this. Cheers!
  4. LOL! Cheers!
  5. No one said getting deported is inhumane. It depends on how you do it. As I've stated over and over, there is due process even for illegal immigrants in the United States, Canada, Europe, etc...you cannot simply bypass that process. Cheers!
  6. Next time you forget to pay your auto insurance or home insurance, tell your insurer to cancel any grace period you might have. Cheers!
  7. Doesn't matter...zero! There is nothing that a citizen should protect more than the right to due process and protection of their rights and freedoms. Not even your family! Because without those rights and the rule of law, you and your family, including generations of your family, could be subjugated and reduced to non-citizens with no rights or due process. It's why Gandhi and Nelson Mandela spent years in prison...among many others in the global civil rights movement who even gave their lives! Cheers!
  8. Just because other countries behave one way, doesn't mean the U.S. or other countries should behave that way. If your neighbor is an asshole, doesn't mean you should be one too! It's just the U.S. President and his team are choosing to be assholes presently. Cheers!
  9. What if you are someone who came here legally, but accidentally let your visa expire or forgot to renew. Now you are considered illegal...you have the right to due process to allow a judge to decide if it was deliberate or accidental. How about if your parents came illegally, but you were born here...you have birthright citizenship, but no formal documentation. You have the right to due process. There are many people who come here as refugee applicants...or seek asylum...or are here to work on various visas...or here on visitor visas. No criminal record. They haven't done anything wrong except to renew, extend or reapply for status. Cheers!
  10. Jesus...of course it's not ok, but the system gives everyone a process to follow...which happens to be the law! To ensure the destruction of civilization, the fastest way to do that is to ignore the laws that give everyone due process and respect for their rights. If their rights don't matter, why should yours? Ensuring due process is every citizen's duty...otherwise one day, your rights will be put by the wayside. Cheers!
  11. Really, you're asking that? https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/about-immigration/due-process-and-courts/ Cheers!
  12. Yes, and that is what the courts are for. If the courts tell you that you have to pay a $100,000 fine for something, you have the right to not pay and appeal that. You even have the right not to pay it all all and the let the court system move through the process to prosecute you or seize your assets. That is why the system is designed the way it is. Cheers!
  13. Railroads and energy will be here 50 years from now...can you say that about Costco? Omission is not a mistake. It's simply a missed opportunity. How many have you missed? How many have I missed? Commission of a mistake is more egregious, and on that scale, Buffett has probably committed fewer than any single human being in history! This is just a ridiculous argument. None of us would even be here if it wasn't for what he has achieved. Would you consider Sir Edmund Hillary a failed mountaineer/explorer because he didn't climb anything after Mt. Everest? Would those missed opportunities to climb other mountains be a failure? There is no Buffett after Buffett...so Berkshire has to be able to function and grow with whom it does have the helm. Abel will never be able to invest capital like Buffett...same with the two Todds. So they moved to more capital intensive businesses, including their insurance business, where large amounts of free cash flow can be reinvested in durable businesses. A strategy that a moron could follow through on going forward! Cheers!
  14. One, you brought up the Gestapo comment. Two, even illegal immigrants have the right to due process. If you have a problem with that, then take it up with the courts, which in many cases are being bypassed! Cheers!
  15. At every level, from the citizen right up to the Federal Government, there are laws and rights in place for everyone...including cities and states. They are well within their rights and laws to act for or against any decision they believe impeded or goes against those rights and laws. That's how the country was designed, how the laws were designed. And exactly what the courts are for. Cheers!
  16. Nope! But they are ok with him running the biggest economy in the world. Bizarre! Cheers!
  17. +1! That being said, under Obama, children were still being processed through the system...not simply just taken away and deported, then reunited in another country with their family. Cheers!
  18. There are different ways of completing a task. The point is that the current administration is pushing the limits of the Bill of Rights to complete their task, and are the inhumane examples truly necessary to accomplish that task...like picking up an elementary student without informing her family (if that video is accurate). If that was my niece or nephew, I would have gone through that group of ICE members regardless of the outcome for me. Just no way any fucker is taking one of them like that! Cheers!
  19. +1! Cheers!
  20. Nope, it started with them displacing and isolating Jews...restricting their rights, due process, where they could work, how much in assets they could have, even whom they could associate with. Fascism usually has a slow build to the eventual horrific outcome if not curtailed! Cheers!
  21. I don't know the validity of that video, but if it is true...that's just one of the saddest things I've seen happen in the U.S. in the last few years! The U.S. would have definitely lost its way. Cheers!
  22. It's always hilarious to me how arm-chair quarterbacks critique the greatest capitalist investor to ever live! Or even some of the lesser quarterbacks. I would love to see anyone on here have a REAL conversation with Buffett about investing and economics, just like I would love to see some guys throw a football while stepping in for Patrick Mahomes! Google stock would skyrocket, because the Youtube video of the outcome would be the most viewed in history! Cheers!
  23. During the decade when the stock was stagnant under Ballmer's watch, Buffett bought railroads, energy, insurers and Apple...I'm not going to balk at him for not buying MSFT which could have gone the other way if it wasn't for Nadella, while Berkshire continued to thrive and grow! Cheers!
  24. He did see it. He just didn't know the durability of the business. It's easy to see a juggernaut in hindsight. Sergei and Larry even sent Buffett a copy of their company handbook/beliefs that emulated Berkshire's. Charlie and Warren even spoke about it one of the AGM's...I was there. I could have bought Google at $80 a share when it IPO'ed. I had no idea of the durability. They just didn't know if another company would come in and be just as competitive...both on search or ads. Cheers!
  25. Problem is, we'll never know you were taken with these guys...just shuffled somewhere with no due process! Cheers!
