The system is working as designed. This is how the system was built to work.

Dude campaigns for rich asshole, rich asshole deports him on principle.

The worker shortage that will be caused by deporting illegal workers will not be filled by the fat lazy Americans who are unemployed. They refuse to do such work because it is beneath them. So we'll have a massive gap, especially on farms. The farmers will take this to the government, and the farmers will get even more compensation because the government keeps fucking them over. Over and over and over again.... At this point, I think farmers qualify as government employees.

Sad but true.

Not all Americans called for it, just very vocal ones. The people that were fine with the lockdowns and restrictions were not represented in the debate because they were sheltering in place at home trying to keep more people from dying to the virus.

You see, I don't think it would invalidate any laws... I suppose it would be subject to whatever judge is making the call, but I would imagine that any judge that's rational and logical would take into effect the concept behind the law, not just it's specific wording as it currently applies.

I hope that anyone looking at a law, written when that specific body of water was named "the Gulf of Mexico" and determine that, since it was called that at the time of the law being passed, that the law applies to the body of water that is, or was, known as "the Gulf of Mexico" at the time it was written, and the law continues to apply to that physical place, regardless of any changes in name.

But that might be a bit too logical, and I might be expecting a lot from the US Justice system.... Or any Justice system for that matter.

Ah. Thanks. I'm not American so I'm not exposed to that kind of stuff on the regular.

Today I learned. Thank you again.

I get it if they're your typical stall doors, those things are not great for privacy, but anything more robust than that, I would agree with you.

The best, bar none, engendered public restroom I've ever seen was less of a restroom and more of an area. It was basically just a hallway coming from a main area in the establishment. The hallway was lined with doors. Each was a "stall" that was just a closet with a toilet. Full hight doors for privacy. At the far end of the hall was a line of sinks to wash your hands afterwards.

Now, do I think this is perfect and cannot be improved? Hell no. It's pretty flawed, but I'll tell you that it's less flawed than what most buildings that are open to the public have.... Far less flawed. Gendered bathrooms are weird. IDK why people are so adamant about keeping them. I mean, I don't have a men's room and a ladies room at my house, do you?

MSI is right. It gets worse.

Why would the name have any bearing on the laws that govern what can, and can't be done there?

This is so freaking dumb I can't even.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago

I support this.

But we should probably at least have a conversation with Mexico about it, since something like half of their country borders it. IDK, I failed geography.

You mean West coast?

I mean, if I'm facing south, the left coast is the East coast.

This is super dumb.

How are these morons so offended about the name of a body of water?

Their fragile ego is so completely shattered because Mexico "has a Gulf" and they "don't"? Little men with too much power.
