I’m a guy who likes things, like books and video games. Sports too. Mostly liberal, usually darkly sarcastic, always lame.

All exempts them from family separation pay, if memory serves.

Wait. He wants the National Guard mobilized to protect the city from… senior citizens in need of a nap? Weird flex bro.

I’m old enough to remember when Fox News totally melted down because Obama picked a NCAA tourney bracket and screeched for a month that he should stay in politics and leave sports alone and this was just partisan blah blah blah. But anyway…

Honestly, I have no idea how to fix *waves arms wildly* this. I’m just playing the rules as best I understand them. Anything more would be a lie to everyone.

I never said we shouldn’t. Doesn’t change what I said.

Looking at this from an economic POV only (which I feel is more to an fair as that what’s drives the world, for better or worse), the decline in birth rates in the developed world is an issue. Musk and his ilk overstate it for racism though.
