i use the term concentration camp very loosely, regardless my point still stands. Additionally, a large enough portion of the public views them as that so the consequences of building and allocating funding towards those facilities is still the same despite them not legally being classified as such.
The mega prison in El Salvador is fit to hold 40,000 people but only had ~14,000 in it 2 years after it was built (December 2024 iirc), even factoring in the new influx of prisoners they're still well under maximum capacity.
A large enough portion of the public also thinks Trump is essentially Hitler and the rest of MAGA the KKK ready to murder every liberal at the drop of a hat, doesn't mean I'm going to cede them the stage so that they can set the narrative. Last I heard El Salvador is making another 2 or 3 prisons for us to put Mexico's and South America's worst of the worst into as well. Sometimes I wish we could go back to the old school corporal punishments, 50 lashes to the back and a brand on you somewhere to mark you as an enemy of America if you commit any crime as an illegal, then sent off to wherever. Would save everyone a lot of time and money, but that'd be considered "cruel and unusual" nowadays and be an optics nightmare, so we get to live with this weak shit.
My point is, most gamers have jobs that likely have medicare options of their own; they do not use medicaid.
Yeah, the /v/ NEET is probably not anywhere near a significant portion of the gamer population. Most people are going to have jobs in general.
And how much are the average player spending on those games? F2P just means the first hit is free and if you really want to play the game you either need to spend actual money or dedicate absurd time grinding. Just because the only game someone played is genshin impact doesn't mean he hasn't sunk hundreds of dollars into the game over his playtime.
It's going to vary quite a bit from player to player, with the minnow dolphin whale designations. Games like Genshin and World of Tanks where there's mechanical advantages to paying are going to have a lot more of the bigger spenders than other games that are almost completely cosmetic like OW2, CSGO, DOTA2, and to a moderate degree, LoL. Maybe my circles are just a bunch of cheap bastards, idk.
 
Happy 4th of July. Always remember that freedom was not given to America, it had to be taken through blood, sweat and sacrifice.

I love that picture. Look at the britiod on the ground in front of Washington. It is reaching towards the Americans, begging for mercy, begging for help. The Americans ignore it and will soon trample over it.
 
Many of the old Hoffa or Chavez type leaders are gone, either retired or removed, and newer leadership is stepping in and looking scary. However, the swing of average union workers moving red will create a lot of friction within the unions
Given how anti-illegal Chavez was, the Right-leaning workers would bring things back to that kind of mindset if they start forming unions.
 
When Uncle Sam puts you name at the top of his list and the statue of liberty starts shaking her fist. Happy 4th of July kiwis America fuck yeah.
 
This bill was the moment where House and Senate Republicans had to decide if they served their constituents, or if they served Donald Trump. The answer, of course, is that they're unprincipled spineless cowardly faggots who serve Donald Trump. It doesn't matter, the bulk of their constituents are so fucking stupid that they'll vote for the same people fucking them over when the next election rolls around as long as Trump tells them to.

They know how unpopular this bill is, that's why the medicaid cuts kick in on December 31st 2026, it's a last desperate bit of trickery to try and save as many Republican seats as possible in next year's midterms, and then use the economic fallout of this bill over the next decade to blame inevitably shitty economy on the Democrat that's going to replace Trump in the next election cycle.

This cycle has been going on since the fucking 90s.
>Republicans inflate the debt ceiling to benefit their rich buddies and fuck over the poor,
>Americans realize they've put their hands on a burning hot stove and elect a Democrat to clean up their mess,
>Democrats clean up a decent amount of mess without making too much noise,
>the media gets bored and the voters tune out,
>the left starts to pick itself apart over momentary pet causes,
>Americans decide to put their hand on the hot stove again,
>fuck themselves over for a generation,

repeat
Remember that time you were wrong about everything? Ever reflect on that?
 
If the Left just stuck to the early Obama years of "Bush Jr. with abortion rights", they could've easily won 2016 and beyond. The Left doesn't want to admit that the rise of Trump was primarily their own fault; shifting from things like workers' rights and the plight of the lower class to praising LatinX POCs and casting white men as the enemy is EXACTLY what led to Trump's rise to power.
I've said before, but current term Trump would not exist had they just not pushed so hard for Biden in 2020. If Trump had won 2020, the blame for anything and everything related to Covid/inflation would be on his shoulders. But with Biden in, it's easy to split or just shift the blame. They wouldn't have had to run Biden or Cackles-Mcgee and could have had a real candidate in 2024 that would more than likely be president right now. Vance would not be VP, and he would likely be irrelevant for this alternate 2024 or 2028.

They demonized Trump and focused on that fact in their strategies so hard that they gave up on any sense of actual foresight or planning.
 
Last I heard El Salvador is making another 2 or 3 prisons for us to put Mexico's and South America's worst of the worst into as well.
Do we know the layout, capacity, location, and time of completion for these yet? I have a feeling that El Salvador might be using their now oversized prison complexes to make money by taking in foreign criminals. I wouldn't blame them for doing what the US does and use them for prison labor; last I heard we still have ours making furniture and shit.

It still tickles me that there could legitimately have been a scenario where the dems were so convinced of some fantasy that Trump was gonna bring about human extinction during Covid somehow that they had to drop the long-term gayops and throw all their cards into immediate action.
"Forget the plan, guys! Trump's totally gonna cause WW3 and we gotta put him in jail NOW NOW NOW!" :mad:

This vid is auto translated from Spanish or Italian for me at least. CECOT is not a prison. It is a terrorist internment camp. It is basically the US version of Guantanamo Bay. The people held there have been declared terrorists by the state and will never have a trial or be released. It is a response to the complete and total societal breakdown of the El Salvadorian state. Before this happened, the entirety of El Salvador was run by insane death cults. This very small country in Central America had one of the highest murder rates in the world. It now has a lowest murder rate than any country in Central America, South America, Mexico, and several American cities.

As far as expanding this goes, it would just be a copy and paste job in a different location.
