A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

elaborating on "construction funds tied to abolishing zoning"
the 21 year old drinking age is a patchwork of state laws created by tying federal highway funds to a mandate
we do this, but for "municipalities get $x in construction subsidies only if they have no more than x% single family zoning"

It all boils down to the core weakness of the American system which is that it was written for people who were pathologically violently protective of their own personal power and all the checks and balances are dependent on said people engaging in said pathologies.
i think that we should charge even people who have been pardoned, because there is no conceivable way the founders intended the pardon power to permit the executive to order people to commit crimes and then pardon them for them

Imagine paying a large monthly fee to shop at a supermarket, then paying again for the actual groceries, then getting an extra charge months later because one ingredient in an item you bought came from a farmer associated with a different store.

You know, Jane Austen clearly found most people really annoying, which is why her books all ended with her annoyedly telling us “look some of these people got married, some died, some were miserable, some were happy, but most importantly THE END.”

What are abstract ideas like “being happy” and “having fulfillment” compared to real world achievements like “working full time for a company and still needing food stamps”
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

Good morning guys and gals and nonbinary pals, today is a wonderful day to work on your creative projects. This is not optional, get some work done. This is a threat.
Unless you have to do family stuff because it's that time of year. In which case this is a threat to enjoy time with family.
