  • Here’s the thing: I think the Republicans are going to try to human sacrifice in Florida for votes.

    They’re already spinning the FEMA funding issue as being because FEMA “spent all their money on immigrants,” and another devastating hurricane where FEMA can’t help as effectively would allow them to run with the idea they’re already currently (ineffectively) trying to push, which is that FEMA isn’t helping.

    They’re already saying they won’t vote for additional FEMA funding due to the bullshit “immigrants” thing. So they’re going to try to flat-foot FEMA, hope for a horrifying national disaster, blame FEMA for letting people die while spending money on immigrants, and then attempt to pin it on (Biden) Harris.

    They’re trying to position themselves so they can let people die in order to win an election. And it’s very possible it will work.

    That’s what happens when no one goes into trades and everyone wants to be a manager or “work in IT or with computers.”

    Two of my friends are excellent tradesmen and they make a fabulous living. And they always have work and no student loans. They’re living really great lives and are very content.


  • "Once defectors make it to South Korea, often after a perilous journey across multiple countries, they go through interrogation by the government intelligence agency. Then they are sent to the main Hanawon complex in Anseong, 40 miles southeast of Seoul, to prepare for their new lives in the South.

    The facility offers medical and psychiatric care. It teaches defectors about South Korean society and gender equality, and provides occupational training and counseling for skills including cooking, baking, nail art, skin care, clothes-making and mending, and long-term caregiving.

    After completing the three-month program, defectors receive subsidies and housing benefits, as well as continued support from local centers to help them assimilate during their early years living in South Korea."

    Doesn’t sound like they treat them like shit. Sounds like they actually have a very efficient and well-funded system to welcome and integrate defectors.

    Are you yourself working for North Korea or something? “OMG yeah North Korea so great, they treat you like shit in South Korea, definitely don’t go there, the music is also bad.”
