I flew out of Phoenix the other day and they had ICE at the checkpoint checking IDs and supervising the baggage scanners.

I didn't think beforehand what the correct response to them was, so I just avoided eye contact and did not speak to them.

They were unmasked, which was novel, and tried to be buddy-buddy with me, a white dude.

There are also carve-outs around city population specifically so it doesn't apply to Beverly Hills and around the number of rail stations in a county so it doesn't apply to Contra Costa County.

It's the most nothing burger of all time.

Portland is iffy. Right now 4/12 city councillors are DSA members, but by no means revolutionary in their politics. They are slightly better than average libs. Portland's DA was a progressive but got turfed out for a Republican "tough on crime" guy. Former progressive city council members have been literally framed by the police or just faced massive smear campaigns. The mayor is a trucking company CEO who's trying to give extra money to the shitty police department that they didn't even ask for while at the same time cutting the parks budget.

"Pay $500k to get access to the executive branch" is so on the nose. They are dancing in the endzone.

This is probably true in any country that's more than a few hundred years old.

You can buy used clothes, you know. Not to knock your attempt to make them yourself, that's cool, but there are plenty of ways to avoid having to do that.

Doctors still get significant on-the-job training. Anyone faking it will be easily weeded out by residency.

Almost posted that here but there was enough anti-China shit that I didn't.

Apparently the mods had already deleted it when it got posted 3 times previously, even with thousands of upvotes.
