@tinytempah235 @puttputtum @nehmdoge I'm not a frat bro looking to grind on women, why would I spend any time on water street?
But I spend a lot of time, including nights, on the east side, Riverwest, Bayview, walkers point, and have never had an issue
English
This city is so beautiful when you don’t have a loser from Waukesha in your ear saying “Milwaukee sucks because there’s a larger minority population than I’m used to”
Nate Vomhof@natevomhof
The density of Milwaukee’s Eastside and downtown is rather impressive from this angle.
English
@RJSWtrilogyWhen @puttputtum @nehmdoge 1. The perception of crime and feelings of safety by residents is vastly more important than saying “x crime is down x%” without any base numbers or context. Misleading at best.
2. Please quote me where I argued it’s increasing. You’re autisticallyfocusing on something not said
English
@tinytempah235 @puttputtum @nehmdoge So you're just openly admitting you don't deal in facts, just vibes.
Crime is not increasing in Milwaukee. Period.
English
@RJSWtrilogyWhen @puttputtum @nehmdoge You’re a man in his 20s or 30s without a wife and kids, of course violent crime is something you can minimize lol
I guarantee you don’t spend weekend nights on water.
English
@RJSWtrilogyWhen @puttputtum @nehmdoge “Crime is down X percent” ok sure pal cool spreadsheet numbers, what’s the sentiment on the ground? Are grocery stores closing? Are public spaces being shut down/restricted? Is the city losing population?
You’re so zoomed out you have no b

English
@puttputtum @tinytempah235 @nehmdoge Uptick means crime is increasing....but it isn't increasing. Crime is decreasing across the city
If you mean crime is still high, say that. That is still true on some crimes. But it isn't upticking
English
English
@tinytempah235 @puttputtum @nehmdoge And even there, crime is decreasing in almost every single category. Nob fatal shootings down by 33% from last year, car jacking down 42%, assault down 9% after falling 20% last year. This year homicide is down 10% so far on the north/west side
English
@RJSWtrilogyWhen @puttputtum @nehmdoge Yeah I guess a couple murders a week are fine as long as they’re in the majority black ghettos, right?
English
@tinytempah235 @puttputtum @nehmdoge At the risk of being pedantic, the past 12 weeks have averaged 2 murders a week. I'm not happy it isn't continuing to decrease but it's way down from 2021-2023
But also this issue is almost entirely limited to west of 43, north of 94. Same for shootings-
English
@RJSWtrilogyWhen @puttputtum @nehmdoge If you’re not black, your risk of being murdered drops dramatically.
English
@puttputtum @nehmdoge I think we should be realistic about the actual risk level
English
@RJSWtrilogyWhen @puttputtum @nehmdoge It literally is a weekly occurrence hahaha
There’s about 3 murders every week in Milwaukee
English
@puttputtum @nehmdoge I'd say you're taking a few instances the local news blew out of proportion and assuming it's a weekly occurrence
English
@SewerSocialism You have so much cognitive dissonance it’s crazy hahaha
English
@tinytempah235 I have no qualms with a progressive tax. However, the shared revenue system is anything but progressive if it is being used to starve our state's largest and most diverse city of the resources its residents need to address decades of systemic oppression. POSIWID
English
Milwaukee is an internal colony for the rest of the state.
It only receives 50% of the "shared" revenue it supplies.
Its residents are, by race, subject to substandard social services and those who fall through the cracks are forced to work for the state penal system.

Gary Witt: "Even with the poverty level we have (in Milwaukee), we're so powerful as a city that we are what is called a "donor city" among all the cities in Wisconsin, which means we give them more money than we take back."

@stopmisspending @FBIMilwaukee This posts contains a link with the information you’re looking for

@FBIMilwaukee This post does not mention if she had to pay it all back. Did she have to pay all of it back?
English
Lakia Jackson, 36, was sentenced to 60 months in prison for committing a healthcare fraud scheme last week in the Eastern District of Wisconsin.
Jackson is the former owner of a Milwaukee prenatal care company.
According to court documents, Jackson stole over $2.6 million from a Medicaid benefit meant to help at-risk pregnant women and women with young children. She also offered kickbacks to women in exchange for their Medicaid numbers and falsely billed services.
FBI Milwaukee investigated this case, along with the Wisconsin Department of Justice Medicaid Fraud Control and Elder Abuse Unit.

@WillFlandersWI How about not sending my tax dollars to fucking religious schools for a start and give it to the public schools where it belongs?
English
Discussing the reality of school funding isn’t a “degrowth mindset.” We’d all love to see more growth. But until growth returns, keeping funding flat means more $ per pupil. When the K12 pop is growing again, we can reevaluate.
Dan Shafer@DanRShafer
We should refuse to accept this degrowth mindset, refuse to accept a Wisconsin with "fewer kids to educate." We should be doing more to invest in our future and stop this absurd shell game of shifting the tax burden from the state to already over-burdened local taxpayers.
English
@SewerSocialism You can give whatever cope you want, you’re still complaining about a progressive revenue system.
High earners contribute to low earners. Sorry, this is called living in a society right?
English
@tinytempah235 The shared revenue system in Wisconsin arose out of a desire to punish the city of milwaukee for electing a socialist city government and stymie it right out the gate
English
@savanarola5 @SBlake2000 @InezFeltscher And it’s not even close to an intelligent or informed talking point considering 80- 90% (depending on the poll) of Americans support covering pre existing conditions
English
@tinytempah235 @SBlake2000 @InezFeltscher His basic argument is pretty much everyone with a chronic condition is at fault so fuck em, let's just have low cost insurance for people with few health needs.
Which....is basically the Twitter right wing health talking point.
English
Yes. Insurance (risk based protection against future unknowable incidents) is not designed to cover things that have already happened and are certain to incur costs. Yes, this was a problem, but not one that can be solved by insurance. This is like signing up for car insurance the day after you crash and expecting them to pay out.
Tracey Ryniec@TraceyRyniec
@InezFeltscher No, we couldn't. Not if we had any kind of pre-existing condition. Sometimes couldn't even get ANY insurance.
English
@SBlake2000 @savanarola5 @InezFeltscher There was only one relevant question here: what is to be done about pre-existing conditions?
Instead of addressing the question, you dodged and started rambling about definitions.
You don’t need to reply bc you won’t actually answer the question.
English
You made a false claim about "chronic conditions" that millions upon millions have and I pointed out that many chronic conditions have more to do with "definitions" of normality than what people are even experiencing. Further, before insulin was "covered" by insurance beginning in the 1990s, it was affordable. Is hypothyroidism a "chronic disease"? How expensive do you think Synthroid is? Why should "insurance" cover something so stupidly cheap?
English
@1amIan @Mattyxy @crowded_theatre @InezFeltscher If it’s mind blowing to you that people like not going bankrupt because they were dropped or denied due to a pre existing condition, you are beyond low information, just short sighted and narrow minded.
English
@tinytempah235 @Mattyxy @crowded_theatre @InezFeltscher Its actually sad to me that you seem to be old enough to have lived through pre obamacare and actually think things are better now. Its mindblowing.
English
For the kids who are too young to remember, you used to be able to get basically full, complete coverage above a max of $5,000 (aka “catastrophic coverage”) for 90 bucks a month before Obama made it “affordable.”
Chris Pappas@ChrisPappasNH
The ACA was signed into law 16 years ago today, bringing health care coverage to millions of Americans. But now, 22 million Americans are struggling to afford health insurance because Donald Trump and Senate Republicans refused to extend the ACA tax credits, which could drive families into crippling debt. I won’t stand for these attacks because every American deserves access to high-quality, affordable health care.
English
@1amIan @Mattyxy @crowded_theatre @InezFeltscher It’s ok to be a low information person, just know that’s what you are
English
@tinytempah235 @Mattyxy @crowded_theatre @InezFeltscher I dont need to google. You are nuts if you think we are better off with this system than how we had it before. Non profits to help people is the way to go not obama care. Obama care helped make healthcate affordable the same way student loans made college "affordable".
