In the grand scheme of things someone being here illegally and working construction is about last on my list of priorities

They bother me.

They are taking up housing that US citizens could use....everyone keeps complaining about needing more housing, eh?

They are a burden on our schools and other public resources.

They are dead weight on our medical system...in many cities they overrun the ERs of hospitals making it difficult for true US citizens to get emergency care in their own country.

Just a few examples.,,....the US budget would save a lot of money if they were GONE.

It turns out that immigrants commit fewer crimes than citizen

There you go again, conflating ILLEGAL migrants with LEGAL migrants, especially those that actually wish to come legally and become US citizens because they want to melt in and believe in our principals ans way of life.

Add some guard towers with machine guns and the border is starting to look like post WW2 Berlin.

Except in Berlin they were trying to keep people IN....there's a big difference from letting people freely leave if they want....and invasion from foreign entities.

Frankly, iI'd be all for settting up our snipers, they could get some free practice...

And a No Man's land....complete with a field along the border of land mines.

Ok I have a name for the project...

Operation: Hot Tamale

Thank you...thank you....I'll be here all week...

Slashdot has become Reddit.

Am I the only one that finds her to be somewhat strangely attractive ?

She's not beautiful by any stretch.....but something about her, maybe the big eyes....I find somewhat attractive.

Anyone else?

Statistical contortions might provide copium, but don't prove anything. I gave you a straightforward parameter median household income. Something economists have been using for generations. You had to cherry-pick — and your cherry is rotten, because you complained about the period of COVID lock-downs, much of it presided over by your champion.

And you provided no citations. No wonder, your moderation is so high :)

...Now, does anyone have a spare $30K they could loan me?

I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a......

Are there any wearable countermeasures available to wear that will at least notify you these devices are in your vicinity....and, even better, emit some kind of signal or sound that will fsck up any AI recordings going on around you?

"Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.â

I think we're seeing this in droves right now....

Do not taunt (Happy Fun) Claude...

"...99 luftballoons...."

Also Trump is wrecking the economy and nobody wants to acknowledge that

Because it just is not true. Median household incomes in the US are just steadily rising (inflation-adjusted) since he took office in 2024.

Ive not yet played NMS, but exploration games are a thing that attracts a certain demographic.

For example, I hate the mission aspect of games like Fallout, GTA etc, but love just exploring the worlds - seeing what is over the next horizon etc. I havent played a multiplayer computer game in more than 15 years at this point,

that presented themselves as "male" were paid more per task and perceived as more "human-like" than their "female" counterparts

Those complaining loudest are the ones, who can't define the term "woman".
