I don't understand why people think this is a good use of their tax money. Everyone complains about state taxes when it is much less and pays for everything you see and use. Then you have federal taxes which are a massive black hole.

Not all countries. This is pro Russian reductive language. US drug boats were not POAs. Not saying this makes sense, but your post is to make people lose hope.

It shows that the people creating this are totally disconnected from reality and surrounded by sycophants.

Does Argentina belong to the Spanish? Why do you think Argentina should take them? Who lived in Argentina before the Spanish came? Who lived in the Falkland islands, nobody.

Wait, who colonized Argentina? And wait who was first to the Falkland Islands? I genuinely don't understand why you think Argentina wanting the Falkland Islands has anything to do with opposition to colonialism.

I would say that without activism we would have no society and no order, and you wouldn't be able to live anyway.

No, alcohol doesn't wash/kill Cyclospora. This means Vodka doesn't help which shows you how serious this is

They are also not paid very much so steak and lobster would represent a significant waste of money, or that they are not paying for it.

I think they are opposed to all educated males and females. Minorities are a big part of the Republican voting block. I think this is a misread: people vote right because they want solutions and the light policies of the left are not enough. They don't want immigration because they're worried about house prices.

The Republicans see this as easy wins and say everything is a zero sum game. This is clear to anyone educated but like any manipulative position they expand it to cover everything.

The Democrats need to do this as well, and they should stick to housing. They should say a house should cost 250,000, and stick to it.

I think you should be a little more cautious because I don't think white males have a monopoly on education and your statements are somewhat racist. You see this in the current administration they try to be racist but they can't find enough functionally qualified people and there are considerable numbers of women or people from other countries. I also don't think education has a monopoly on income which clouds the issue further.

I think it's easy regulation, just require a zero-evaporation closed-loop design. I don't know why this isn't a federal requirement.

It takes enormous capital as property prices are high due to real estate speculation (the priority with real estate is not use but financial value), regulatory capture (excessive regulations are pushed by the largest companies to make it impossible to start a competitive business), and high insurance costs (very appealing to the biggest investors as they mean the largest investors can be self insured).
