I want wealth so I can build a better world for everyone else to live in, like building metro lines and libraries all over my city, affordable, mixed-use housing, and funding clean energy projects. We are not the same

We've got a company that comes around and floods people's yards with Bifen to kill off all the "invasive pests". I don't know how many of my neighbors are using them, but I worry that it's higher than I want to believe.

any luck? I've noticed a sharp decline in pollinators over the last two or three years. I DID manage to get some success with the native bees with some guerilla gardened sunflowers, though. That is, until someone cut them down.

I don't see a reliable statistical difference myself. For my part, I've got ADHD that causes shit to simply stop existing the moment it's sat down, and that ends up causing a lot of clutter

This is going to be the breaking point if we actually put boots on the ground in Iran and don't just engage in drone terrorism and bombing runs. More military action in the middle east is a ubiquitously unpopular platform, and wars that are perceived as pointless have almost always been devastating to ruling party / presidential support. Further, the US military has been struggling to hit its recruitment numbers for years now, and this isn't going to help that. It also stretches the government's attention even further, and makes it more vulnerable to dissident activity at home.

so DBZ was right about transformations all along?

Don't worry, I'm sure he and a few other democrats will be along shortly to censure Padilla like they did Al Green.

Important: this happened right after Noem said that they were staying in LA to "liberate" it from the socialist mayor and governor. Padilla stood up, introduced himself, and said he had questions for Secretary Noem, then he started getting shoved out of the room and arrested.
