According to the admin, 1.6m people have self deported or been deported. They also said they arrested more than 352,000 and deported more than 324,000. Not sure if the 324k is from the 352k, I think the 324k is included in the 1.6m.

200 days, 1.6m deported. 8,000 per day average. 2.92m per year, 11.68m over 4 years. 11m is the conservative estimate number of unlawful immigrants, Pew says 14m, but the upper estimate is over 21m.

So they claim they have hit 1m a year a while ago, but we would have to trust their numbers are accurate. There are indications that at least 600,000 have left the US, but that is pretty much based on vibes because concrete numbers are impossible to obtain.

They sold under 3 million copies, it needs 7.8 million copies sold to break even.

The left lane is for crime.

She dropped out, still going with Bacerra.

Maybe, I think a push for Hispanic representation will be a stronger force with the deportations and Baccera has better qualifications.

The last Hispanic governor of California was in like 1899, so that is a pretty strong bit of leverage in a state with a 40% Hispanic population.

I’m calling it for Bacerra as the new governor.

Speed Queen, preferably a used from 2020 from before they switched from mechanical controls but the newer electric controls are better than the competition.

Both. If he loses, it can set precedent that would negatively impact others who wish to seek similar lawsuits, even if they have a stronger case.

Anyone wanting to go to court with the administration over deportation issues should expect it to be a drawn out and costly affair that has a considerable chance of failure. They want to set an example to discourage similar suits.

They way to actually win would be a class action and to settle in for years of judicial process, but you would have to have deep pockets funding that.

I don’t believe a word about him sharing the money with anybody until he does it.

Obviously Trump will fight this, so an apology won’t happen and no chance deporting policy will change willingly.

My question is if he will be able to afford the lawsuit for as long as it will be drawn out. It is a pretty risky gamble that he will be able to win and get the lawyers paid off the money awarded. There will be lawyers that will take it pro-bono or on contingency, but are they good enough to win against the government?

The missing minute has been leaked. (Satire)

I honestly find it hard to believe that there is a meaningful difference in lifestyle if you make over $10m a year vs over $100m. So you can afford a bigger boat faster? Save and seethe on your new money dingy.

I fully support a unavoidable progressive tax that taxes every dollar above $10m in a year at 100% and nobody that hits that will suffer or be less motivated in the slightest.

Fido

The AI face unlock can determine residency status and the GPS will ping your location every 5 seconds to DHS and ICE if you don’t have legal residency or citizenship.

The first place to start is making sure the motor is getting power and working backwards upstream from there to the control board and then from the control switches back to the control board. Diagnosing a control board failure is a bit more complicated.

There already are fines and campaigns, they are ineffective because of a societal lack of personal responsibility.

Fuck them, socialize and save your battery.

Fuck em. Haven’t you been driving and had your passenger want to show you something on their phone?

Not having an internet connected phone in the car wasn’t a problem when I was younger. We would play music and chat about whatever bullshit. We didn’t need to doom scroll or thumb through Instagram, we socialized.

There are two ways to deal with the problem of smart phones distracting drivers.

Option 1: Personal responsibility. Simply won’t work for most people because they are addicted to screens and have the false belief that they are adept at using their phone while driving because they do it all the time, which has lead to greater reckless use; not dissimilar from drunk drivers. A negative social stigma can help with this, but that is not a silver bullet.

Option. 2: Phones disable their screen inputs while motion is detected. This will be effective, but some people will find ways to circumvent it. Regardless of a number of users disabling a motion lock, it will provide a decrease in distracted driving related accidents.

A bonus 3rd way that isn’t as good as either of the above, physical keyboards and the return of T9 which allows for you to type while looking at the road. This minimizes the amount of time spent looking at the screen and would help a little.

Those subsidies are a fart in the wind against home prices inflated by artificial scarcity cause by passive income seekers and restrictive building codes that prevent low income and high density housing. It is like retailers giving a 10% discount for a week when they raise the prices 15%.

Such a weak and empty gesture to pander to voters. It is better than nothing, but that shouldn’t be the bar they campaign on. Dems need to grow some teeth.

The Republican strategy is to deport illegal immigrants and free up the housing they occupy, there by increasing supply and lowering demand.

The Democrat strategy is to build more low income housing and allow in anybody who wants to come here. Increasing supply slowly and increasing demand substantially.

Neither really push for a program to build low income housing and 1500sqft starter homes that are reasonably priced.

What is a starter home today is 2500sqft, and that is only because builders make more money on those than 1500sqft.

It reads like they are saying a student would have to transfer to lose status. So current students are fine, but if they transfer their visa is revoked.
