The problem with the current program is that we did a "half Portugal" where we stopped with enforcement because it was cheaper, and also didn't put in funding for support and treatment because because they (the goverment) thought is was cheaper.

The problem with this, knowing that our government is cheap. They'll talk about enforcement, but will be super cheap about it. I'd actually be more worried about this endeavour if I thought they were going to fund it adequately.

Sorry, the double-negative threw me for a loop.

The Boomers fought in world wars?

In utero, maybe.

"Thunderdome except it's billionaires" would solve so many problems.

You could start taxing them. Especially the rich ones.

You know that's an option, right?

Oh, if only that were true.

Putting aside the obvious concerns, a mayor doing this and using "it's the same as the maintenance guy" should be a red flag.

I've worked in companies where high-level people take it upon themselves to do operational work. It's at best pointless retail poltics, and at worst it's rampant bikeshedding.

Don't worry, he'll build it, make it a toll highway, and sell the rights to a foreign company for 99 years. It'll all work out, just trust me, bro!

Ah, the old "How hard do you want it, how hot do you want it and where do you want it?" climate controls.

There were and are the best.

I'm sure China would be equally amenable to a peace proposal that would allow Taiwan part of the mainland, or would allow Tibet autonomy.

China, in other words, can fuck right off.
