I love electric vehicles. But increasingly I feel duped

Interested (in a bad way) if you look up laws about illegals:
"In general, a noncitizen must spend at least 5 years as a lawful permanent resident to be eligible for naturalization while a spouse of a U.S. citizen must spend at least 3 years as a lawful permanent resident."
So to me there's method in the madness. What a better way to have a huge mass of voters in 2028 forward?
Once here there are ways for anyone becoming "a lawful permanent resident".

The state SOS is also a member of the same political party and in a letter I sent to him asking how the registration clerks will know if the person with the driver's license is legally allowed to vote, in his letter back to me, he indicated that the system relied on the honor system, i.e. the illegal will know that he or she cannot legally vote.

Good luck with that.

That's why the current administration has been shipping a lot of illegals into MN. And they know where everyone of them are. Thats why they all have been given govt cell phones.

LPR takes over three years to attain, on average last I checked.

A friend of mine took over 5 years to get US Citizenship. And he was sponsored within all the rules and filings.

I recall my Mom taking over three years for Citizenship in the 60's.

The issue IMHO, is not the person, it is the system. It's broke and has been for a long while.

did you conveniently leave out they are laying off 1,200 employees?

Also, they are not denying hiring immigrants, they are denying the number of immigrants they are hiring.

Given the current state of the country and the rule of law (Constitution) being ignored, is it any wonder that companies will look at cheaper labor?

When I worked as a project manager for a construction firm from 2000-2002, it was well know that illegals would be hire by competitive firms in order to compete.

We are failing. Spectacularly, I might ad.
But here ya go. Let me know if this is “all good” for you.

Want more of this junk?

My in laws drink the current kool aid just like you. I had to laugh because they’re in their 80’s and just drove to my place from Florida and drove all the way back. About 2,000 miles.
Why, you ask?
BECAUSE AIR FARE WAS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THEM !

Only good news with that illustration is I need to worry about groceries and electricity. Most of my apparel I get cheap from GoodWill.

Forgot to ask you, "Mr Everything is Fine",
Is accruing a trillion in debt every 100 days fine with you?
It's not with me

Any idea what that means for national security?

It’s always one or the other with you. No option for middle ground and no having a real conversation.

It’s almost like dealing with a 10 year old repeating what his dad says. You don’t like x well that means you must love y. That’s not how math or minds work.

Our entire machine code fed into computers is binary...one's an zeros.

Why is breaking down something to a binary level bad? Why are grey area's good?

At this point the debt is mind boggling to the point of absurdity. No way to pay it back and nothing we can do about it.
This country has been at a point of no return to morality and money sense.
Voting evidently doesn't work when the powers that be can appoint whoever they want.

Well obviously because it shows they are laying off tenured employees to hire cheaper labor.

No - what it shows is that they are closing an older, smaller plant - which is inefficient - in a place where they apparently don’t need the additional capacity of that particular plant at this time … as was outlined in the Des Moines Register article that I linked in the previous post.

The laid off employees will be given the opportunity to apply to work at other Tyson facilities that remain open:

Tyson said it will encourage workers there to apply for other positions within the company as it still employs 9,000 people in Iowa, and it has pork facilities in Waterloo, Storm Lake and Columbus Junction.

Nothing wrong with it IF they are legal.

Glad you agree …

Not that we’re really doing much checking of legal status lately.

As an employer, it is incumbent on Tyson to comply with various laws which serve to verify a potential employee’s legal status and eligibility with regard to whether they are permitted to legally work in the US.

Here's the kicker... It sounds like many of the employees who are going to be sacked, are/were Immigrants themselves who have been working for Tyson a long while. So they're being replaced by "Newcomer" illegal immigrants willing to work for less.



With unchecked illegal migration...it's always a race to the bottom.

The US never pays down the debt. They just roll it over into newly issued bonds. This works when the interest rates are kept artifically low.

Now, however, interest rates are high and the fed is rolling over long and short term bonds at this higher rate. We put off the bill collector for a long time, but in 2024, he's coming for his higher interest on all that debt.

The economy was suppose to be in a recession by now and the fed would naturally lower interest rates. However, congress and the WH just kept spending. The government portion of the GDP is keeping this party going. It's put the Fed in a bind and they have little choice but to incur a larger debt service then they wanted.

I disagree. We have to do something about it. We have to stop it from getting worse and try to reverse it.

That’s true.
