    I would say California (though mostly local officials) did create the housing shortage. San Francisco creates 150,000 jobs in the last three years but has only built a net +150 houses. Yes, 150 units net is all they have allowed to be built. Virtually every developer is chomping at the bit to build apartments but the city government just shuts them all down and they delay it a decade or more and demand massive personal bribes, er... “campaign donations” or they kill a project. The politicians did this and they need to take responsibility for their actions.

    But nobody seems to know, nobody seems to care, and the problem just gets worse and worse, decade after decade after decade.

    So will Der Drumpfenfuhrer's Biggest Fans wait until they start constructing ovens to stop :hail: ?

    I believe that many would either justify the existence of those ovens, or outright deny they existed. Of course, ovens won't have to happen these days. All it takes is a lack of medical care, a ban on vaccines for anyone in those camps, and let nature take its course, just as how many died in Hitler's camps. Ovens and showers are obvious.

    A valid point. After all, Ann Frank died of Typhus didn't she?

    I came back to this thread looking for something to reference and realized I really jumped down your throat. My apologies. I was really hyped up.

    so fuck the Democratic Party? That's not nice! Seriously every Dem running for election should begin every public event with a tearfully heartfelt briefing/update on how bad the situation is before they approach any other subject.

    Why are you so relentlessly partisan? Why must everything be forced into a stupid Republican/Democrat dichotomy?

    Partisan? :lol: Have you not noticed that everybody worked up over the "kids in cages" is a Trump hater? That they posit that a vote for Trump/Republicans is a vote for putting kids in cages?
    I'm hoping that the "you" in "why are you" was directed at 90 percent of wordforge.

    "Fuck every single American that doesn't object enough to do something productive about this" pretty clearly includes the vast majority of Democrats who've done nothing productive in response to the concentration camps. My outrage and disgust transcends party lines. :shrug:

    Then one must ask why the Trump lovers don't give a shit.
    They either must love him for the kid cages, or they don't think it's real, or they think the conditions at the camps are Candyland.

    Which one are you?

    You just introduced it out of the blue in response to a comment that made no mention of it. It may be a problem for others as well but you're one of the chief culprits. Stop it.

    He's got nothing but dodges.
    If he said what he really thought with no joke filter, he'd sound like Palpatine at a Klan rally, and then he wouldn't be so cute.

    Which president do you think people should be blaming for this? Hillary? Jeb? And which party do you think people should blame for enabling them? :chris:

    It turns out that a private contractor hired by ICE has been keeping migrants in hotels and possibly abusing them while they were there.


    Hilton isn't exactly happy about this.
