I don't know. I grew up in Boulevard, CA (map it for context). The border was very much a part of my life every day. Daily checkpoint crossings, BP riding quads through your yard at 3am, mass detention facilities being built a couples miles from your house, vigilante "Minutemen" shooting at people, starving people knocking on your door in the middle of the night, etc, etc, etc.

Now I live in Minnesota, and I have to deal with otherwise totally liberal people going crazy about the "Illegals!" and "Cartels!" and it just seems like if you get far enough away from the border it becomes so easy to distance yourself from it that it might as we'll be Mordor.

That's because the DFL took advantage of a VERY brief Trifecta in the state government to pass legal weed, and now they've had to spend years waring through Republican jiggery pokery in order to even get an official management body to oversee licenses and regulation.

I know you weren't correcting me, but I went ahead and fixed it anyway :)

If are thinking about coming to the U.S. this summer for vacation, please do not. Things are bad here. Worse than the news is letting on, even. PLEASE don't come here. Things are only going to get worse this summer.

This dude ABSOLUTELY voted specifically on border issues and is now reaping what he sews, for sure, and deserves to be royally fucked until he's destitute. But the real cost here is the human suffering that is occurring on a monumental level.

It seems like grammar pedantry knows no bounds. I updooted in retaliation. All things must be balanced.

But that's not the case with much higher unionization rates. The state and the rich made it so those people would feel contempt for union workers on strike by destroying the unions.

Low rise jeans and and a tube top, counsellor?

Yes, but you assume they know literally anything about the academic system at all. They think anybody who works at a university is an "elite", and is therefore somehow being treated better than them.
