I don't know why but I get this feeling that our most important trade partners will pose sanctions in the US if the regime continues to push towards war with Venezuela. If you think things are expensive now, just imagine how they'll be when all imported products disappear from the shelves.

Undocumented immigrants are not responsible for most crime in the U.S. Studies show they offend at lower rates than native-born Americans. Whites have the most total arrests and African Americans have higher rates per capita. Ultimately, POVERTY, not ethnicity, remains the strongest driver of crime.

This is counting 20% of how much we'd save from vehicles sitting on traffic jams. To further increase savings we need:

- Transit oriented development
- Traffic pricing policies

Hey everyone, most of you will probably scroll past this, but I want to make something clear. Argentine beef is fine and has been for decades. This is nothing more than a desperate move by Trump and his DOA appointee to prop up the US beef industry, the same one that’s been voting red since 2016.

The beef industry in the US has lobbied for decades against importing from the competition, Brazil and Argentina.
It overwhelmingly voted for the regime thrice.
Now a desperate regime is trying to get Argentine beef imports to qualm inflation and help its buddies who got into bad investments.
