Actually, he didn't pull the trigger. It was a revolver and he fired it by pulling the hammer back.

She learned how to be an armourer from her dad and it seems like he was the one who provided her a live round. She had no idea what she was doing, he's a bad armourer and a bad parent who raised and taught another bad armourer.

Yeah, it was an AD. Armourer handed the gun to AD, AD shouted "cold gun" and handed it to Baldwin. Baldwin treated it like a cold gun and got someone killed. AD pleaded guilty.

I couldn't find any reference to them plinking cans onset. The version of the story I read says she got the rounds from her dad, and they were "reloaded" rounds that had originally been dummies but were made live by hand. Basically her dad's a careless armourer who mixes reloaded rounds with dummies and didn't teach his daughter to check her ammo.

The actor didn't actually pull the trigger. He pulled back the hammer on the revolver manually. I guess they needed a working hammer for the scene.

And it would all be solved very quickly if we just converted the economy to communism.

I bought a Pixel a because it has a headphone jack. I only cared about one thing. When mine dies, I'll buy whatever still has a headphone jack.

The government is building housing as fast as they want to build housing. They're providing subsidies to external developers to build suburbs zoned for residential only. You know how fast the Soviet Union built housing when they put their minds to it? It's just a matter of taxing enough from the rich, and investing in government run industry instead of relying on corporations.

Money in the accounts of the rich is static. It doesn't move through the economy, it sits there are gets leveraged so they can take more. Money in the hands of the workers moves. We spend it on rent and groceries and doctors visits. The cause of a recession is simple: we don't have enough money to spend past the essentials. If there are more workers in need of money, so what? Build them houses and give them the benefits of taxes. Ideally paying them to build houses and killing two birds with one stone. The reason the government hasn't done this is they don't want to. They're in the pockets of big business.

You xenophobe.

I'm suffering from the recession too but I don't blame immigrants, because they're coming into an economy just as bad as I live in. That means where they're coming from is even worse. And besides, complaining about immigration is hypocrisy unless you're aboriginal.

If the government had any sense they'd tax the rich and use the money to increase infrastructure spending. That'd create more jobs and improve all our lives. Imagine high speed rail from Melbourne to Perth, going at speeds comparable to a plane. Imagine how many jobs a project like that could provide. And what about solar and wind power? Government should be hiring thousands of people to build solar farms. That's the sensible thing to do with a surplus of immigration; use that productive power to make the country better. Any money paid to immigrants goes straight back into the economy when they buy stuff, so in a functioning economy it should be no problem.

Better solution is communism

We're already in a recession.
