If I subscribed to Youtube instead of lurking, then I'd feel obligated to 'like, share and subscribe' to everything.

Yes you would. It's the only platform which I've "liked" something (excluding 'thanks' on this forum)... and I did it because it's a way to keep track of the content I found profound so I can revisit it in the future when I've forgotten half the stuff.

The new stuff is like a fire hose, I just watch for patterns.

Secondary source, but Robt. Barnes pegs NYC's losses at 10 billion minus 355 million.

As Letitia James exudes greed and envy. Then there's the truckers....

Problems can only be solved with OPM until it runs out.

Think about it.

Like CO2, it's most efficient to confine something at the source rather than mitigate after it has become diffuse. With CO2 we call it carbon capture.

*not to be misconstrued to draw equivalence between a so-called undesirable pollutant, and people.

My wild idea was to set the annual number of legal entrants to some high number, and reduce that number by 7 for every non-legal entrant. It plays to the motivations of both sides.

Soylent Green Carbon is people!

Maybe what's needed at the border is fire trucks?

What's needed is for those seeking "asylum" to abide by US law which states that escaping to and remaining in the next nearest non-hostile country is required, and for the US to enforce that requirement. There's no universe in which Chinese asylum-seekers found the US to be the nearest refuge.

My other wild idea is that unlawful entrants be detained in work camps for 1 year unpaid, or return to their origin. If they truly are at risk of political crucifixion in their country of origin, a year of vetting in the land of opportunity isn't a sacrifice, but salvation.
