Open borders are such a great thing for democrats !! Look at all the new voters beholden to them for all the free stuff ! Of course, we can only count those voters who survive the gang wars and aren't afraid to leave their houses !!!!! To all New Yorkers - ENJOY !!!!!
You're making me want to go to Costco now!
I was gonna say - the strict gun control laws will surely keep everyone safe.Will the possible new gun laws affect the new residents?
Of course not. The law doesn't apply to them, it only applies to us. Those guys could be trading in illegal weapons, giggle switches, drugs, human trafficking you name it all day 24/7 and the response will be a slap on the wrist and the criminals know that. That's why they are coming here to specific areas of the state with woke prosecutors because they know they will not be held accountable.Will the possible new gun laws affect the new residents?
Are you kidding? Once a name is added to the checklist it's NEVER removed, and ALWAYS votes Donk.Open borders are such a great thing for democrats !!

Are you daft? Now they tell you you have to increase taxes and adhere to more stringent civil liberties restrictions because of this problem.
Now, I don't think liberals are PURPOSEFULLY doing this. I think it is human nature. Watch V for Vendetta. Do you think that John Hurt is a mega-liberal? Nah. He's a conservative that is consolidating power and controlling the masses. . . in the name of safety and security.
Humans, when in charge, are not very bright. They look to solve teh problems of safety and security. And they don't like to be criticized by those most vulnerable. So they choose without thought the most freedom-choking choices. Raise taxes. Restrict rights. You see it over and over and over and over again.
It isn't a cabal. It's built in human stupidity at work. Which is why you'll never defeat it. In 50-100 years, your freedom fighters will be "left wing" again fighting the right wing control freaks. What goes around comes around.
The problem with Hanlon's Razor: incompetent and malicious aren't mutually exclusive.What you're describing is one of the 9 philosophical razors, most heard of Occam's but there are nine. The one that's used in your quote is Hanlon’s razor: Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence or stupidity. Just thought I'd throw that out there you know, I'll go away now.

So your theory is politicians are just stupid? Creem and Day honestly believe gun laws will make us safer?To what end? That's where everyone's "there's a cabal" theory goes to shit. If I've already GOT the cabal, what does more cabally give me?? More power? I own a president and I don't have enough power? Own Wall Street? I own Wall Street and need more power????
Are we saying these people are so twisted that they need everyone locked up in little cages world-wide in order to really feel power???
If so, by that logic and the logic of "it's an ongoing cabal that replenishes itself" it would mean we ALL want that. Even the most control-freakish people I've ever met don't want that. You're now creating a group of people that are about 3 standard deviation units from normal and continue to replenish. Something that isn't statistically possible.
They're just dumb. No offense, but look around here. How often are people sucked into a link posted that means NOTHING like the actual article??? Daily??? Most NES readers??? You think that cabal members or members of Congress or the board at Harvard are actually smarter than the average NES user? News flash - after 33 years in the investment world, I will tell you - the guy in the ivory tower is as dumb as the guy picking up his garbage at the end of the day. Stupid is meanly distributed. You NEVER get a group of above average anything for very long.
I honestly don't care what you believe. I'm trying to save you from decades of hand-wringing over the WRONG problem. Of course, believing there is some evil force that is causing this is easier to swallow and live with than just random stupid people in this world. Because the truth - the epacity of stupid in this world - is far far scarier because you're ALWAYS going to battle it, it will never end and it will never get better. Ever. (Which is why you either go insane or make peace with it. I don't "hate" the far Left. Nor will I hate the far Right when they 'take over' at some point.)
To those of that type, YES. They ALWAYS need more. Until they have it ALL.To what end? That's where everyone's "there's a cabal" theory goes to shit. If I've already GOT the cabal, what does more cabally give me?? More power? I own a president and I don't have enough power? Own Wall Street? I own Wall Street and need more power????
I've always wondered how MB makes a profit selling a whole roast chicken for $5? Probably equivalent to McDs dollar menu just to get people in the door.Mmmm.
Rotisserie...

Well documented that Costco sells them at a loss to get you in the door.I've always wondered how MB makes a profit selling a whole roast chicken for $5? Probably equivalent to McDs dollar menu just to get people in the door.

Because the story comes from Jelinek himself, the claim is true.“I came to (Jim Sinegal) once and I said, ‘Jim, we can’t sell this hot dog for a buck fifty. We are losing our rear ends.’ And he said, ‘If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.’ That’s all I really needed. By the way, if you raised (the price) to $1.75, it would not be that big of a deal. People would still buy (it). But it’s the mindset that when you think of Costco, you think of the $1.50 hot dog (and soda).
“What we figured out we could do is build our own hot dog-manufacturing plant (in Los Angeles) and make our own Kirkland Signature hot dogs. Now we are doing so much hot dog business that we’ve opened up another plant in Chicago.
“By having the discipline to say, ‘You are not going to be able to raise your price. You have to figure it out,’ we took it over and started manufacturing our hot dogs. We keep it at $1.50 and make enough money to get a fair return.”
That's not a problem if the names of dead Donk constituents are never removed from the checklist (and keep voting Donk).The Dems need open borders because their constituents keep killing each other and need to be replaced...
