What's something that feels illegal to know?
You can resist an unlawful arrest. But good luck with that in the real world.

So you say you're a dreamer. Well you're not the only one. ---would be great if people could get into a 1200sf starter home for under 500k in my area.

In the US, know that insurance companies hire private investigators to follow and video people making injury claims. Especially higher dollar ones.

Hypocrites. Time and time and time again. A story as old as dinosaurs--so approximately 10,000 years.

I suspect no significant change will occur until wealthy people from wealthy countries are forced to abandon homes in coastal areas, or some similar worldwide phenomenon occurs.

Joe Biden Faces Growing Calls to Federalize Texas National Guard

I love shitting on Texas and Florida and, well every southern state, and most of the Midwest, and quite a few states out west, but as someone who lives in one of these areas I like to remind everyone that's there's a lot of decent people living in those states. That is all.

Texas sues Pornhub owner for not adding age verification requirements
Hey AG Ken Paxton, what happened to less government in private affairs? This is a parenting issue. Are you now all for the nanny state? Or is it the ol double standard of government interference is ok but only in the matters which you say it's ok? Maybe concentrate on all those pending criminal charges, or the whistleblower lawsuit, or the illegal dealings with donors, and get your hand out of everyone's pants.

Bronx medical school students receive free tuition after $1 billion donation
This is wonderfully generous; though, it illuminates the outrageous costs of education in the US. We as a society should value education as intrinsically valuable and even if not, a more educated populace is valuable in so many ways, not the least being economically.

College towns are great in my opinion. Especially many of the small(ish) towns where large public land grant universities are located. (Penn State/Happy Valley, University of Florida/Gainesville, heck most every SEC school for that matter, Cornell University/Ithaca, etc.) The towns often grow around the universities. The schools bring in events that the towns otherwise would never have (concerts/plays/art exhibits/speakers/etc) not to mention college sports. You have some of the best and brightest, including students, faculty, researchers, doctors, in a confined local area. Education and diversity are valued. The universities are often the biggest employer in town, pay well, and attract lots of companies and people who benefit from the symbiotic relationship. You have people from all different walks of life. And usually the cost of living is reasonable. All in all, usually pretty good places to live.

Lauren Boebert's son made sex tape with fellow suspect(who was a minor): affidavit
"She also said: 'I love my son Tyler, who has been through some very difficult, public challenges for a young man and the subject of attention that he didn't ask for."'
I don't condone the alleged actions but I'd rather not have the 18y.o. kid/young adult's bad choices splayed across national media outlets. Unfortunately for him, while he didn't ask for the public attention, his mother's incessant need for attention all but guarantees anything he does will not stay a private or just locally known matter. His "public challenges" likely would not be so public but for his mother's narcissism.

Most Albertans don't want the province to pull out of CPP, survey finds
"Alberta's young working population and more jobs with higher wages has resulted in Albertans over-contributing tens of billions into the CPP compared to the benefits we've received," states a Government of Alberta video promoting the creation of an Alberta pension plan.
Aren't the high wages (and young people) predominately because oil/gas? Are those not national natural resources?
