It's a computer program. It doesn't love you. Not like you want it to.

It would statistically make the housing crisis better through dilution. Just saying...

I mean, one of them is bound to be right eventually...

I was going to say the same. This is not new news. This was revealed decades ago as a way to predict big moves in the Pentagon. Hell, I would be surprised if there wasnt already a tracker website that email blasts upticks in pizza orders. And if there isn't, someone get on it.

I own a dairy. We pay a fare wage. I've never had a white guy last longer than a week. Jobs for immigrants, legal or not, are important to my community, my local economy, and our nation as a whole. Historically, this sort of thing is old hat.

I'm constantly torn listening to the comments and replies on Lemmy that are spot on, but also have no context to how anything actually works.

My " no kings" truck window paint today drew some ire from the locals, but I'll stand by my employees and friends. It maybe helps that I've also been driving around for years with a "Ted Cruz ate my son" and a local NPR sticker as well. They know not to talk politics at the bar with me anymore. But damn it if I'm not trying in my own way.

All in all, we may be staring to make some headway on this immigration/ice thing. But it's not happening fast enough. It never should have gotten this bad to begin with.

This brings me joy.

Nothing is better than getting under his skin.

Oh the story of Israel's nonsense over the past 60 plus years is so messed up. I made the comparison in jest, but it's crazy.

They really are the worst ride or die ally of all time. And the geopolitical math hasn't made any sense since the cold war ended. Unless you have a secret religious need for the end of days.

Ever heard the saying, "spare the rod, spoil the child"?

This is what happens. Your kid turns into a fuckin bully that punches above his weight because his dad is a cop and no one wants to stand up to him.

And now he's brought a Glock to school.

Yeah I'm the idiot for not believing I can outlast a United States government spending spree.

Have you seen all the wars we've been in the last 25 years? Have you seen our defence budget? Our janitorial budget? Our paper clip budget? Fucking hell. For all the financial suffering you are willing to "suffer through", most goes to corporations. Not the government.

You aren't even a rounding error in the feds books. To do that would make you a multimillionaire.

And the people around you? Yeah good luck. Just a fraction of a percent under fifty percent, believe it or not, they voted for this shit. They have been playing the 'financial suffering for the greater good' card since the tariffs started. And they are better organized and propogandized. Trust me, I've heard it a lot. And they even have hats!

Let's try to come up with some better reasoning before you think your personal morals and convictions can outlast the united states ability to throw money at literally everything...

Clearly you don't understand how taxation works. Or what a Deficit is. This is literally the same logic the right is using to justify tariffs and mass deportations.

"We will just make the government waste our money until they can't handle it anymore!" As if we haven't been doing that for decades already.

What a silly take on all this. Zero thought.

I mean... Mars is cool in principal. its still easier to fix our world than to ever terraform another. It's a very silly idea. But kinda like the moon. Little steps.

Still. I want Mars to happen. just not this way. So I guess I'm ok with it?
