Or they are looking for a slightly less unhealthy drink.

You're not smelling the weed, just the average user.

Religion is made up stories to control the weak.

I drive through Florida at least once a year. It is a shithole until you are about 10 miles from the coast. Beaches and Disney are the only two reasons to go and both are being threatened these days.

It is okay to indoctrinate kids with religion bit heaven forbid a book has a curse word or talks about sex.

I'm not saying all material is appropriate for young kids but I will claim the far right is making this issue far bigger than it actually is.

Plus FL is a shithole. Give it a couple decades when the beaches have been eroded from storms and there will be no redeeming quality.

This is pure greed, forcing yourself into a "middle man" situation and adding zero value but expecting to profit. Same situation as those who bulk purchased toilet paper to resell at inflated prices. I hope those people get stung by 1000 bees.

Yes, sometimes they lose but often this practice does pay off.

If only we had some reasonable laws that would discourage these situations.

From what I've seen, Trump seems to fancy the fake money so much he often claims he has billions of it already.

Wow.. if businesses would stop hiring illegal immigrants (they will work harder and require less pay) then there wouldn't be a need for such a migration. Two industries propped up by illegal immigrants are agriculture and construction. How do you think those business owners typically vote?

the reason nothing has really been done about immigration is because neither side truly wants it solved.

No, I think my impression is quite accurate. There are more varied voices coming from individual elected members of DNC but in the end, they are all expected to toe the line and follow the party.

The GOP simply cuts off any straying opinions much earlier.

I didn't not call the DNC a shit show, I said they are full of shit. In my head, at least, there is a difference.

If the party requires absolute fealty or throws you under the bus, they are full of shit. The GOP requires signatures in blood and your first born as part of the fealty pact while DNC simply writes angry letters.. but both require loyalty. We're in a situation where a very vocal minority in both parties control most of the power.. and that is very dangerous.

Personally, I've been able to convince my mom the current GOP is a shit show and Trump is a yuge fraud. I didn't do it by saying the DNC was the correct side, I did it by explaining his comments and the true impact of implemented. She has friends that still believe everything he says is true.

Radicalized is a tricky word to define. To some it means driven to violence. Others could mean to perpetuate lies. I believe people who repeat the lies of the "leaders" have been radicalized.

I desperately want an independent candidate to emerge and call out both parties for being full of shit. At this point it is just big business, the party more important than the people. Unfortunately the only thing that would unite DNC and GOP is squashing a legitimate independent.

My xbox one wakes itself up without any input. I turn the power strip off so I don't get woken up in the middle of the night by the power up beeps.

Some do, many don't.

Countries that have increased levels of trust and cooperation also have far less of a wealth gap.

For most people, taxes in CA aren't any worse compared to most other states. CA just has higher taxes on rich people. Cost of living is high if you're closer to the coast but that is a supply vs demand issue.

I have the same experience as you. At some point over the past few decades I have been a registered member of both parties (not at the same time), so my contact details are probably well documented.
I would say the amount of political solicitation emails I get is at least a 90/10 split favoring Republicans, if not higher. In fact I think they are more persistent than the Nigerian Prince that keeps offering me money.

So either the bias is deserved because they spam far more, or the bias is actually reversed and they eliminated all the emails coming from Democrats and only some coming from Republicans.
