I'm betting they use the "punishment for a crime" clause that allows slavery and begin selling undocumented immigrants to the highest bidder.

I wouldn't put full blown slave auctions past these people

I loved hearing NPR this morning talking to a person living in Iran and a person living in Israel trying to make it sound like the war is impacting them both equally. While absolutely ignoring that Israel started this war.

They were using language that would make you think this war is a naturally occurring weather event. Something that just happens, instead of an act of aggression from Israel.

I felt like I was going crazy listening to that

If this was about affordable housing you could easily utilize limited parcels of land adjacent to towns and build a few high density apartments with priority housing for federal workers, since these land management agencies typically already do have employee housing. Allow HUD to manage it for non-employees.

Done, no need to sell anything and they'll likely make money.

This could be done using very little acreage and have a huge impact on affordability in rural communities. Even adding 100 new apartments could be a big help and have such a small footprint.

There are solutions, but these people just want more fossil fuels

Let's be fair only about 33% of the country gets erect.

An additional 15% support him because they are convinced democrats eat babies. This group goes back and forth on whether or not they like his policies, but ultimately support them.

Then about 5-10% cannot make up their mind, and flop back and forth. Typically if this group thinks the economy is good they side with the incumbent if they think it is bad they side with the other side.

I hard disagree with what you said, but you are also correct with the political situation.

A minority party in a normal world shouldn't only be obstructionist. They should ideally all work together to make the best outcomes for the constituents. This is a functional democracy.

Now that our democracy is in absolute decay on the path to a fascist takeover (if not already there), you are absolutely right.

Maybe pedantic, but I feel like it's important to remember how things should function.

50 minutes isn't that bad tbh. I dont remember the last time I flew that there wasn't a delay. Hell even the whole arriving 2 hours before ,finding parking, going through security is all so much more of a hassle.

I'd much rather walk 5 minutes to the local subway head to the hauptbahnhof and wait 50 extra minutes for my train. I can at least go get a reasonably priced coffee while I wait.

Hell they have just as much of a right to nukes as the US does. We shouldn't police the world.

I don't think my nation has the right to control what other nations do through military force.

We do it, but I don't think we should

I'm glad you made this post. Reddit banned me after some pro-luigi posting after 13 years on the platform.

I checked and all my comments are still there so I should start cleaning them up. No reason they should be able to make money from me anymore

Even if they dont they should develop them immediately. Every nation should at this point.

I'm not a fan of more nuclear weapons per se, but now it seems that nuclear nations will invade any nation it wants.

Imagine if Ukraine kept their nukes

The next one will probably be No Kings 2 combined with anti Iran war protests.
