Did you really just compare one number per citizen of the country and one simply per illegal in one place? Wow talk about proving the point that Dems are gullible. Also how pathetic to compare a group trying to exterminate another for simply existing with us asking people to stop breaking the law and return to the place where they have legal residence. Your lack of intelligence, understanding of history, and basic antisemitism is appalling. 1
Big Blitz Posted July 16 Author Posted July 16 Per our new Austrian Economist friends here - this should be unacceptable. ….And perhaps most sobering of all, since 1990, New York has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by just 9.4%, far short of the 40% reduction legally required by 2030. Moreover, NYSERDA’s own modeling confirms that there are no plausible scenarios in which the state can meet these statutory targets.

You called it Auschwitz which was built for the extermination of the Jews and other undesirables, to compare that to what is happening in FL shows how easily you are manipulated into making insane comments

Its a conscious effort and a clever debating tactic used to put the other person on the defensive by transforming a weak or nonexistent argument into something stronger by making a false comparison to an extreme situation. In this case a facility designed, built, and used to systematically exterminate people. To something that isn't anything of the sort. In this case a temporary holding facility to stage deportations. In reality and given logical examination they're light years apart. Edited August 8 by All_Pro_Bills

Detainees here also called attention to unsanitary conditions, as well as lack of food and reliable medical treatment for their chronic conditions. limited access to showers and poor sanitation have caused him to get fungus on his feet. As he was describing how detainees are stripped naked every time they are moved to a different cell and there's not a set schedule to take his blood pressure medication, Collado was told by a guard to hang up, he said, ending the call. You are willfully ignorant of reality. When Dems are back in power, hopefully we don't make the same mistake we did after the Civil War and let people off easy.

B-Man Posted September 23 Posted September 23 Smokers Using Nicotine Pouches to Quit Smoking - So Now Illinois Is Taxing them By Ward Clark There's a standard rule of economics that states, "What you tax, you get less of. What you subsidize, you get more of." That statement is usually applied to matters of enterprise, welfare and so on. But it also applies to products. Case in point: There's a tobacco-based product that has been helping a lot of people quit smoking. It's called a tobacco pouch, and it's great for people transitioning from smoker to non-smoker. I think I'd argue that even using the pouches to get that little nicotine buzz without all of the tars and other crud that come with typically low-grade tobaccos used in cigarettes is still a step in the right direction. The FDA agrees: So this may be a valuable tool for people who are trying to quit smoking, and it may serve as a less-harmful alternative to smoking at the very least. Which may be why Illinois just decided to tax tobacco pouches. There is essentially no logic in this. None. But then, there's no logic in sin taxes in general, be they for tobacco, alcohol, or anything else. These are legal products; it is not the role of the government to protect people from the consequences of their bad decisions, nor is it the role of the government to prevent people from having those choices. And, of course, every such product on which any level of government levies such a tax invites a black market. You would think that if any state would understand this lesson of Prohibition, it would be Illinois, but that evidently isn't the case. https://redstate.com/wardclark/2025/09/23/smokers-using-nicotine-pouches-to-quit-smoking-so-now-illinois-is-taxing-them-n2194270
