They'll invent a term "resident non-citizen" and they'll divvy up the country as franchises to the highest bidder.

Simpson's Skinner meme, "no, it's the voters that are wrong"

Data without context is meaningless.

26% of adult Gen Zers owned a home in 2023, little changed from 2022. Meanwhile, the homeownership rate for millennials rose to 55% from 52%, and the rate for Gen X climbed to 72% from 70%.
Still, most adult Gen Zers are tracking ahead of where their parents were at the same age. That’s likely because many Gen Z homeowners were able to buy when rates were near record lows.

On that note, Bourgeois means "middle class" in a literal translation to English, but it refers to "middle class" in an English sense rather than an American one. Doctors/Lawyers/Business Managers instead of a catch-all that anyone can self-identify as.

I just think that's neat.

It just presents data without going into detail. You're making unsupported assumptions.

That's the joke, "safety protocols off"... Ship, "ok, good luck"

If that were true, we wouldn't need to guess. We could just look at the data showing that new plants provide cheaper electricity.

Are you telling me the system is so rigged, that they'll get themselves absolved for any past wrongdoing at the cost of sending everyone checks for $6.72?

These class action lawsuits are modern day indulgences, change my mind.
