hope “cheaper eggs and gas” was worth it.

EDIT: i removed the “trump refused to swear on the bible” point because it was being taken as me being an offended christian. i’m not christian, im agnostic. the reason i included it in the first place is because he’s the first president in history to ever refuse to swear on ANYTHING. meanwhile his “conservative christian” followers had no issue with this, and decided to continue to scramble for excuses instead of admitting he may not be as religious as he claims he is. i figured taking that point out entirely is probably better than filling this with an explanation in the middle of the other important issues.

As someone who’s reported alt-right harassment and rhetoric on various social media sites and been told “there’s nothing here that violates our TOS,” seeing what RPGnet is doing is a welcome breath of fresh air.

Please, more social media sites need to do this.

This number conflicts with the amount of illegal immigrants in the U.S.

The source for this was sent in anonymously and therefore cannot be verified, and the source is outdated.

a:I have found mixed results, but the Pew Research Center says that immigrants make up for about a quarter of the agricultural workforce, with 14% of that being illegal. b: that number is actually closer to 59% of households headed by non-citizens that use welfare programs, but the whole reason they can do that is because they have family members, likely kids, that are citizens

in 2023, live births in California were at 400,108. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, around 65,000 births are to illegal immigrants each year. This means that about 16% of births in California were to illegal immigrants, not 66%.

No public report by HUD describes this and such numbers would mean nearly half of illegal immigrants live on assisted housing, which is near impossible.

Only about 3% of the child population in California are illegal.

No published evidence of this.

The amount of gang members that are migrants is less than 40% according to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.

All above corrections clash with this.

Conclusion: It’s not hard to tell the truth and treat people like people, maybe you’ll find it rewarding, I know I do.

AI and increased water consumption are going to destroy so much physical property.

Did you know:

AI has consumed so much water to keep cool that it is destroying local reservoirs, making fighting wild fires harder and harder?

Did you also know that ALL homeowners insurance companies are systematically dropping fire insurance out here?

MAGA will blurt out 'open border' and 'wokeism' in response.
