    That scene from The Wire where McNulty goes on a date with that Dem political consultant who shames him for being cynical about politicians comes to mind.

    I figured this was the case, Musk had to get something out of his investment in Trump besides the racism.

    Why Texas Secretly Loves Illegal Immigration

    “Many experts argue that the economy reaps net benefits from undocumented workers who are already here and that it would cause enormous damage to deport them. The Pew Research Center estimates that 8.3 million laborers—almost 5 percent of the U.S. workforce—are undocumented. In Texas the share is even higher, at 8 percent. In 2016 researchers at the left-leaning Center for American Progress modeled the impact of deporting 7 million migrant workers. They concluded that it would result in an economic downturn approaching the scale of the Great Recession in 2008. National income would shrink by $4.7 trillion over ten years. Supply chains would be disrupted and, depending on the response by Congress and the Federal Reserve, inflation could run rampant. According to one estimate from Texas A&M University’s AgriLife Extension Service, without any immigrant labor the cost of milk would nearly double.”

    So this actually might contend with Trump's worst appointment, fuck if the Moms4Liberty co-founder gets any sort of real national power.

    Remember when both liberals and republicans pushed back on using national emergency powers to fight climate change. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had democratic leaders that actually used their power to get stuff done instead of acting like they don’t have any power and then throwing their hands up when republicans use it?

    I keep the U.S Army survival manual in my emergency bag just incase. I also keep a paper street map of my area just incase GPS goes down.

    Making yourself dependent on AI in a worst case scenario seems dumb.

    Boomers and Gen Xers were raised on/indoctrinated by anti-communism sentiment all their lives from living through the decades-long Cold War.
