I believe she is still in jail.

> so you are only into whitewashed history?

What? I never said anything.

How so?

The last article that was posted, sounded like she was still in jail for it.

>Farmers also caused the dust bowl.

The methods were also encouraged/forced by the gov't at the time..

She did plead guilty, so that sounded like personal responsiblity.

They didn't exactly cut her off.. She was kicked out of the building by security.

>Funny thing, if the bar had continued to serve her and then she drove home, it is almost possible that they'd have a case.

I don't see the difference..

They stopped serving her (same as a bar closing), then she drove home.

>While it doesn't bar the use of chicken poop as fertilizer, it does tell the defendants they shouldn't spread any more fertilizer than whatever crop is being grown actually can use.

No shit.. Otherwise you will poison your soil..

>because no one can turn them off

This is a problem that can be fixed in a day or two.

The answer is that they want them to be on.

>The farmer isn't raising wild boar, just regular farmed pigs.

>When domesticated pigs escape, they revert to wild pigs in two generations.

They are just letting them grow, and then hunting them. Not feeding or sheltering them, but not killing the herd either.

They are not domesticated, they are not captured/counted, so they wouldn't count as escaped.

As close to raising them as they can get, without actually claiming the animals as theirs.

So bad.

>wild boar hunting in Alberta is wildly popular, in part because there is no limit on the season. At HogWild Specialties in Mayerthorpe, owner Earl Hagman sells both wild boar meat and overnight hunting packages. Large trophy boar hunts are $1,800, and hunters can bring any legal weapon and are guided through the property. 

>Hagman says the packages are popular, and the business hosts around 10 hunters per month. However, he says most people “come for the meat” because of Hagmans “natural” raising process: meat animals are $1,000 each. 

>Don't worry, it won't work.

Don't worry about what?

I know it won't work. Paying 'per head' never works.

There are always people who breed them to collect money.

Someone will know of a herd of them, and then they watch them, turning a few at a time, rather than taking the whole heard, as a money making operation..

Or as the company in the article is doing, raising them to invite 'hunters' to pay to hunt them.

Perverse Incentive aka The Cobra Effect

>When the British ruled India, bureaucrats in Delhi grew concerned about the proliferation of cobras in the city. To get the problem under control, authorities offered a bounty on cobra skins. This economic incentive worked well – too well, as it turned out.

>Soon cobras were being slain willy-nilly, and the government was pleased with its bounty program. However, several enterprising Indians heard the knock of opportunity in the cobra’s hiss. These opportunists began breeding cobras for their skins.

>And so it wasn’t long before the British were up to their knickers in cobra skins. When officials discovered the scam, they withdrew the bounty. But that’s not the end of the story.

>With the bounty program cancelled, innumerable cobra breeders in Delhi were stuck with, shall we say, “excess inventory.” The herpetological bubble had burst, and their erstwhile cash cobras had become lethal liabilities. So the breeders set their vipers free. And once again, Delhi had a cobra problem – only worse than before.

>Fort Benning, Georgia was having a problem with feral pigs. The Army offered hunters a bounty of $40 for every pig tail turned in. People began buying pig tails from butchers and slaughterhouses at “wholesale” prices, then “reselling” the tails to the Army at the higher bounty price.

>Alberta’s strategy incentivizes hunting directly, offering to pay hunters $75 per set of ears.

Fuck!

Please no! No no no.. Just no. Bad bad bad.. Fuck

They could cut them down and replace them with inflatable trees.

>“It was unknown that this individual [Trujillo] was involved in any type of crime,” said Medina, speaking of what a deputy knew of Trujillo at the time of his arrest. “A Bernalillo County Sheriff’s deputy pulled the individual over, took him into custody, and tagged a firearm into custody.”

Then why did they arrest him, if it wasn't known that he was involved in any type of crime?

>Kentucky parents concerned after teen who compiled ‘kill list’ allowed to return to school

I mis-read the headline.. I initally thought it said completed..

Compiled.. Meh... Next time, don't write the title.. Can claim anything if your list is found..

>According to Austin’s Code of Ordinance of amplified sound, a business may not operate equipment that produces a sound louder than 85 decibels, equivalent to that of a food blender, from the property line between the hours of 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. And from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m., the sound should not be audible at the property line, according to the same code. 

>One KXAN viewer who lives in an apartment building opposite the building contacted us, saying he could also hear the opera music playing throughout the night.

I think that the violations won't stop until substantial fines are applied..

Except not legal.

Edit, for downvotes: According to the laws quoted in the article, it isn't legal..

Being that neighbors are complaining that it can be heard.

>and worry that it will normalize workplace surveillance, even when people return to the office.

This was normal before people left the office...

>Yost asked a Butler County Common Pleas judge to immediately halt the Tennessee-based retailer from advertising one price on shelves and then charging a different, typically higher price at registers.

> Yost cited ongoing violations of the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act and requested a hearing for a preliminary injunction that would require Dollar General to abide by Ohio consumer laws as the case progresses.

Until there are fines for non-compliance, I suspect the practice will continue..

>Because it's a nottheonion-y title.

Articles and titles need to be oniony though. Not just the title.

>I truly don't understand why this is news.

It would make sense to be local news..

To be news spread beyond local, no..

>It's mind blowing that the world refuses

"The world" or "The USA"?

There is a big difference.

>emergency vehicles are always in the right no matter what they are doing.

I've seen police give tickets to ambulance drivers (I knew the driver too).

>How would you have reacted if you were driving with your bike?

I would have reported it to the city.

>Counterpoint: How do I know if they are in an active emergency? I don't.

They would have their emergency lights on.

>They are EMS, they can park wherever the heck they want to park.

During an active emergency, yes. Otherwise, hell no.
