  1. I wouldn't too much about up keep.... initial construction could keep me awake nights. Cheating on every sort of inspection and quality of concrete, steel, you name it. Too many buildings here have fallen/collapsed before they are even finished to everyone pitching in to make a dismal product. Silver lining might be it built so bad cannot even start it up....

    If Russians help out, maybe name it "Chup Chern Nobyl"?

    With highly implicated characters like Hunter Biden moaning about having a public hearing, and then not showing up for the one arranged, it's not really surprising that the republicans might go down this route.

    Catch up on the news, maybe change channels from "We distort, you deride"....  Hunter did  testify before Repub committee behind closed doors. He wanted to testify in open hearing so that the public and press could hear it all, not the erroneous, distorted wordings Republicans are known for.

    Why are you defending these illegals?  Who invited them here to pick berries and break our laws?

    They broke the law coming here and broke another law by providing a fake SSN.

     

    I am pointing out that by being illegals, they still have to pay taxes and S Security deductions  with no prospect of refunds or benefits (like a legal or citizen would). How can that be some sort of "defending"? Think for a minute.

    Big ag invited them in to pick berries and fruit. If they weren't in the US, crops would not be harvested, full stop. That is a fact. Look it up. US isn't all that different from Thailand as far as natives don't want to do physically hard work

  4. Those who moan and groan that costs for schools etc are higher yet fail to note that the illegal immigrants take jobs native born don't want (when was the last time you picked berries?) and have taxes and social security taxes deducted from paychecks. Being illegals, they can't have a "real" SSN, so all their payments are gravy to treasury. No refunds on tax returns, either, I'd think.

    Contrary to the propaganda on Fox, US leads all major economies on growth after covid. THere are real world data, not just anecdotal fluff right wingers go for.

    You don't understand simple things about the topic. Those immigrants and their children are more criminal than other Americans. If you're living in a whitTe town you don't care they're less criminal than blacks in cities, you care they're more criminal than the people you currently live with. Do you understand this simple fact now?

     

    And please spare us all of this nonsense that Mexicans are taking back their stolen land. They have more land than they can use in Mexico and they didn't care about the US until just a few decades ago when they found out they would be let in to live with Americans and use their infrastructure and have access to services. What do you think these people are coming to be farmers in Texas and Arizona? it's so stupid if think about it for just a moment.

    "Those immigrants and their children are more criminal than other Americans." not true, a lie. "you care they're more criminal than the people you currently live with". another nonsensical lie. BTW what is a "white town"? Your Your "facts" lack basis in reality, aka FBI statistics.  Major crime is down in US in most categories, again FBI stats. You may say "I know what I see and feel" (Constant line from Fox). Scientific method, statistics, etc were created to overcome anecdotal "evidence".

    "They have more land than they can use in Mexico.." You are a flat out racist. I'm done with trying to use reason with this sort of tripe.

  6. Whew, only affects children so being a geezer I've nothing to worry about!

    "Thailand grapples annually with dire air pollution levels,..." "Grapple" to me implies some sort of tussle, struggle, effort.... I haven't seen any serious efforts made to lower pollution here. I like to check daily levels in Bangkok and Pattaya. As often as not numbers are higher for Pattaya... more to pollution than just vehicles I reckon
