They sure are willing to waste a lot of taxpayer money making sure cops can’t get sued.

Maybe they will have an upgraded version with a large rubber nose and a moustache.
The juvenile system was split off from the department of corrections in 2006 as a step to reform the system. The state has made extensive rules that the local operators have failed to follow. Four facilities were closed because they operated in an unacceptable manner. Plenty of other states have similar problems with juvenile detainees. We are actually trying to fix the problem.
All five of the facilities that were closed and 4 of 5 still operating are in mostly or totally red parts of the state. It’s not Democrats working at those facilities and abusing the kids. It is Democrats working to reform or entirely eliminate the system.
You skipped the “and permanent housing units” part of my comment. Shelters are a step to getting off the street. They give homeless access to information and resources to improve their position. It is in no way “ignoring the problem” like you claim. Short of singlehandedly solving poverty, what do you expect a mayor to do?
San Francisco has increased the number of shelter beds and permanent supportive housing units by more than 50% over the past six years.
Read the article before commenting next time.
It is not unusual in alimony or child support cases for someone who refuses to pay what they owe to be locked up for contempt. It is a way of compelling obedience to the law in civil cases.
Lock him up for contempt of court until he testifies.
Knew a k9 cop. He freely admitted this is how it works.
In other words, he not only failed to challenge the core of Covid ideology—that other human beings are pathogenic so we need to restrict our freedoms and isolate—but used his social media presence, such as it was, to urge others to accept all the dominant lies by the government. He bought the Covid and lockdown ideology and broadcasted it. He seems to have no regrets.
The author is a plague rat who thinks libertarianism means being able to harm others with impunity. Don’t waste time on this trash.
All of that is irrelevant to my point that your right wing government has policies that would be far left in the US
The rubric is literally right below what you quoted
The categories are as follows:
Biased Wording/Headlines- Does the source use loaded words to convey emotion to sway the reader. Do headlines match the story?
Factual/Sourcing- Does the source report factually and back up claims with well-sourced evidence.
Story Choices: Does the source report news from both sides, or do they only publish one side.
Political Affiliation: How strongly does the source endorse a particular political ideology? Who do the owners support or donate to?
Just because it is a qualitative and not a quantitative assessment doesn’t mean it’s arbitrary.
Speeding isn’t a crime, it’s an infraction. If speeding is a crime then everyone is a criminal. It’s not like he held up a gas station.
There is a whole lot more to it than that. You can read it here.
In Switzerland, patients pay up to 8% of their personal income towards the cost of a basic insurance plan. If their premiums work out to more than 8% of their income, the government provides a cash subsidy to cover the difference.

My point in this whole thing is that everyone in Switzerland has healthcare and that healthcare is subsidized to be more affordable than in the US. That would be a left wing program here.
Gross Geneva monthly minimum wage is CHF 4426 or $4,940 according to a quick Google. In the US it’s $1,330.
Edit. Even the highest US local minimum wage of $17 an hour is $2,992 a month.
They clearly list the methodology they use on their website.
As much as it sounds like you don’t like what you have, it’s still better than the US.
I think it’s considered center left based on US politics. Our Overton window has shifted pretty far. The Swiss have universal healthcare and strict gun control. That can’t be right by US standards.
Somewhere John Bolton just got an erection.
