Do your grass cutters have papers?

Except GCs charge homebuyers full price them use cheap migrant labor, creating artificially large margins and a lack of jobs for Americans
We need more church bells. Fewer muslim prayer calls

Make America Sound Good Again
what about the migrants that have a chilling effect on Americans? Rapes, stealing out tax money, muslim sounds played 5 times a day louder than church bells, child trafficking, etc

Unfortunately unless they can make a law outlawing any sort of CAFE coming back with the next admin in the next 20 years, auto manus aren't going to change their current direction.


Nah. I watched the presentation yesterday. All of the manufacturers like ford were elated that these are revoked.
They came here to do a job and they did. Kudos for that.

They then overstayed without documentation and without getting the paperwork straight. That’s illegal.

Now they have to go home. Party’s over.

They should be grateful for the time they had here and had the chance to stack cash to return to their home country and buy a house, start a restaurant, etc.
Do it yourself portfolio:
Large Cap Blend 20% (S&P 500, VTSAX)
Large Cap Value 20% (SCHD, VVIAX)
Small Cap Blend 20%
Small Cap Value 20%
Total international 20% (VTIAX

Gives you good diversification and plenty of upside while smoothing out the ride. The value and international stocks pay decent dividends.

Check out Paul Merrimen’s portfolio advice. One of these will always be up and total returns are better than putting all of your eggs in the S&P 500 basket.

So says a Tiger Droppings lawyer

Why are guns an individual's responsibility but not drugs?


Who said that? Not I. Again, you’re making stuff up.
quote:

So, you're for confiscating our guns then. Because after all, taking away the guns will drastically reduce murder and crime.

Am I doing it right?


That’s your idea, not mine.

You’re doing this WRONG.

BTW, stop taking drugs.

Quit living in the past. AI didn’t exist for the past 40 years. Now it does.

If you’re using cocaine/crack I encourage you to stop. Drugs are bad.

It's as if you haven't been paying attention the past 50 years.


Are you for or against cashless bail for hard drug dealers? Why?

Are you for or against teenagers who commit serious drug felonies being prosecuted as adults? Why?

Are you for or against stiffer mandatory penalties for hard drug dealers? Why?

I can guarantee tougher enforcement will reduce drug demand because the consequences are a deterrent. See e.g., when America’s mayor cleaned up the streets of NYC through law enforcement best practices.
quote:



It never has before.


I can guarantee you that ending cashless bail, prosecuting teenagers who commit drug felonies as adults, no more sweetheart plea deals for drug dealers, empowered law enforcement and, yes, stiffer minimum penalties will curtail both demand and usage.

Together with Trump stopping the flow into our country, drug usage will drastically drop.

What’s your solution?
quote:

Then the question is what replaces fentanyl and then the follow up question is if it's worse.


Stiffer penalties at home will take care of that. Minimal if not zero usage in Singapore and China where they have speedy trials and harsh consequences for dealers.
quote:

The Fentanyl comes from China directly and through Mexico. The boats from South America, if they are drug runners, are carrying cocaine


That’s stopping as part of the trade deal with China and beefed up land border security with Mexico
quote:

And then usage of alternate drugs increases.

Again, this is why we have fentanyl.

Opioid supply drastically drops, opioid usage drops....but the attendant problems get worse because fentanyl usage explodes


Right. Although IIRC fentanyl production is down— the Mexicans mostly closed up shop when the border closed , as part of the China trade deal they agreed to actually stop making the precursors, & Canada is beefing up enforcement too. AFAIK quack doctors quit passing out opioid Rxs like they are candy.

I’d agree with you that drugs cannot be entirely rooted out of our society. Still, they can be drastically mitigated.
quote:

From the supply side? Yes

Have you not followed the War on Drugs the past 50 years? We lost it decades ago


Quit living in the past. Trump and Rubio are game changers.

Why do you think we gave naval patrol boats to Paraguay? To kneecap river transport of dope. Also we’re allies with Argentina. Trump and Miles are tight. Miles is fighting the cartels down there.
quote:

What's your issue with the truth?


It’s not an either or proposition. Cocaine supply drastically drops, cocaine usage and attendant problems also drops.

Also it’s more expensive for drug dealers to get kids hooked on drugs. So kids won’t try in the first place. Thus, less supply, less demand.
quote:

It's a both of those issues. If cocaine is too expensive, addicts don't suddenly stop. They go to something cheaper and easier to obtain.


Well the youth just wouldn’t try it in the first place.

Substitute goods theory would not cleanly apply when the addict is chemically addicted to the substance.
