In which we yet again post yet another ten thousand plus interesting or amusing -or neither- tweets

I am starting to believe we have someone with some sort of condition so I am not engaging. Think about how he can't respond beyond 2 or 3 sentences at best. And then it is tweet after tweet.

 

Harris’ call for enforcing and expanding anti price gouging legislation is socialism.

Then what the hell is this?

Plus, “around 10%” lets you know it’s just crazy bullshit. And remember that the media are bitching about Harris’ lack of policy specifics.

Every once in a while it hits me that there’s a decent chance this rambling imbecile might win, and what that fact says about my fellow citizens, and let’s be honest. It’s scary. Go to the mall and count 9 random adults. At the absolute worst, 3 of them are going to vote for Trump. That’s a hell of a lot of ignorance, cognitive impairment, bigotry, or some combination of the 3, walking amongst us on a day to day basis.

Lol.

Trump just said he is going to cap credit card interest rates at 10%.

That is actually price controls. And it makes no sense. And he can’t unilaterally do that. And if he could, credit cards will literally go away.

It’s all idiocy and handouts.

The MSM calls a duck, a divergent concept for a flying T-Rex:

🧵Translating NYT euphemisms:
“Ramaswamy Shows a Penchant for Dispensing with the Facts” = Ramaswamy lies
“[Haley has] an ability to massage her message to the moment” = Haley flip-flops
“DeSantis Takes on the Education Establishment, and Builds His Brand” = DeSantis bans books

That was supposed to be 4 out of 9. Dammit.

 

What's a supermarket? a school? Hospitals?

 

How about that, are you frustrated that someone doesn't agree with you?

 

A supermarket is most generally a free market response to a population of a certain size willing to pay money to not have to drive 30 minutes to drive to another supermarket. When populations increase, supermarkets tend to get built on virgin land or built back on previously developed land or into existing structures - hope that helps.

A School is a policy decision made by a school board. Since Springfield already had a functioning school system, it may have had to shutter a couple of schools when the population rapidly declined and they lost tax revenue, however, when it rebounded, so did the tax base and they either reopened those schools, upgraded existing schools or built new ones. But they didn't tear down all the old ones - hope that helps.

A Hospital, like a School, is generally a policy decision by an elected governing body, like a municipal government or county governent, to create a hospital operation authority, much in the same way they create utility authorites. The exisitng hospitals probably suffered when the population dipped, and likely rebounded in the same manner that the schools did. Hope that helps.

You dumb ********ing beaver

 

Likely pity

Damn, they absolutely nailed that. It’s simultaneously hilarious and 100% accurate.

So let's put these people in the middle of no where and let that happen on its own. Should take what, a couple of days most right? I'm still looking for the excuses for Martha's Vineyard. I notice you keep avoiding that community, why?

 

Ah, isn't that signal. Bless your heart.

 

Because one is an island, the other isn't. In other words, one group can drive 30 minutes to another town, the other cannot.

Furthermore, Martha's Vineyard didn't have a massive population decline prior to the immigrants arriving legally to work there.

edit: And the Haitians in Springfield went there because there were job openings. It's not like the Florida or Texas governor sent undocumented immigrants there "to own the libs".

This is not rocket science.

 

Is that what you think happens with a refugee resettlment program? A bus just shows up in the middle of downtown depressed economic area and off loads 100 refugees? I mean, yeah, that's how Texas / Florida run them, but not the federal government.

@Sounders78 covers this more politely than I will - so just read his

The Creator blessess my heart daily in that I am able to forgive the willfully ignorant, such as yourself, conservatives and libertarians

 

“Dumb ********ing beaver” is one of your insults now? It’s like watching Willie Mays stumble around the Shea Stadium outfield in 1973.

 

Sad you don't get the reference - go do some internetting

 

Every part of the Trump story about this is a lie. The locals recruited the Haitians.

Ok…I don’t watch the Family Guy

 

At least not 15 years ago before it got wokeified

 

A good analogy is Micronesians and the Tyson chicken factory in NW Arkansas/SW Missouri. That region has one of the largest concentrations of Pacific Islanders in the US. (Could you imagine going from a Pacific Island to Arkansas )

 

I had started to write a longer reply about how common this is as a historical story (in part it explains how I ended up with my wife, who was living outside DC when we met) but realized it’s a waste of time to engage that poster. He constantly lies about Springfield. He’s just a very persistent troll. He’s just a master baiter.

 

Which university has a Master's Degree program in putting worms on fishhooks?

Anyway, the factory managers say that overall, the Haitians are great workers, never miss a day, do their jobs well, etc. Also, they can pass drug tests, which are required for people who operate heavy machinery. Which was something many locals were not able to do.

There was a similar story of a factory town in W. Pennsylvania where a whole bunch of Syrian refugees came in and revitalized the town.

And that's why I am so puzzled at why the "pundits" think that Trump is stronger on immigration than Harris. Yes, a large influx of people from a different culture is going to be disruptive in the short-term, but many of our ancestors were in the same situation.

 

And I'll say it again. ********ing JD Vance knows this is true. Either that, or he was lying about white people in his book.
