Ok, so the wall is filled with bald eagles, genetically modified to hunt only drones and pose. They are also immune to heroin and eat it when they catch the drug drone. Each school across America sponsors one and the school who's eagle gets the most immigrant drugs gets free Ipads and college tuition. The kids name the Eagle and get a day off when it passes way. It teaches them to love their country. Except the schools with majority minority populations, they don't get eagles because they can't afford to raise them. | ||

I think this is the best theory yet. Shit. Donald's like a fox. | ||

First they get free college tuition, then they control your toilets. A cover for every little piece of control socialists have wanted for more than a century? Its only one school, who raises and supports the best anti-immigrant-drugs Eagle for that year. It is to teach them about service and that immigrants bring drugs into the country, by drone. It isn't a hand out, it is a reward for merit to those non-minority students to earned it.

But forget that, the immigrants have always used drones to ship drugs from eastasia...I mean Mexico. | ||

Perhaps the only way to defeat drones is with more drones and the future will be decided by drone jockeys? | ||

What you need is a smuggler. You wouldn’t trust some random with all your drugs. | ||

I think people love customization to much to ever go for it mind you. Would be interesting in a social democracy. Maybe have all the project managers be government but all the trades and sub trades still be private? I dispute the crazy part :p The Irish government in theory had a shot to at least try it, to some degree anyway. They ended up owning a lot of assets when they bailed out the banking sector. Unfortunately they (under some duress as well it must be add) they sold a lot of those bad assets under their real value, which completely unpredictably a bunch of vulture capital bought up. Healthcare is pretty bad as well, I think property is a complete mess, both ownership and rental and needs something radical. It’s a sector unlike many others where consumer choice is way more constrained by necessity, plus that lack of choice means you don’t see much innovation. What innovation we have seen in terms of your AirBnBs of the world are actively bad in other ways too. If you can just short term let your property to wealthy tourists, why would you rent anything long term to people who want to actually live there? | ||

An immigrant crosses the border once and then stays on this side, finding work, living their life. A smuggler makes a living from crossing the border over and over. If I were a cartel boss I wouldn’t be giving people trying to immigrate drugs to carry, that’d be nuts. It’s their first time trying to cross the border and you’re gonna let them carry 5k of your cocaine. Really? What if they get lost? They probably don’t even speak English. And how do you even know them? What if they just make a run for it? What you need is a smuggler. You wouldn’t trust some random with all your drugs. Actually he's got things right. Immigrants are bringing in the drugs, so you need an increasing number of immigrants to supply the demand for drugs. And who defends opening the borders? That's right, the Democratic party is responsible for America's illegal drugs. | ||

Outside of that zoning laws might need to be tweaked depending on the are, even then it might just be excemptions for lower income targeted hosuing. That can be done if all you do is request any house sold to meet modern code not be grandfathered in. Discouraging multi house ownership is a bit more difficult but a vacantcy tax might work. Just make housing something worth more to live in than to own. It would suck for those who like money but I cant see how it would discourage new units being built. | ||

And who defends opening the borders? That's right, the Democratic party is responsible for America's illegal drugs. Could you elaborate on how this works in your head? Is it like hitch hiking? Do the cartels just flag down people who are heading in the right direction and give them hundreds of thousands of dollars of drugs with instructions to drop them off at a distribution center on the other side of the border? Because I can think of few worse places to hide smuggled drugs than in the backpack of a first time illegal border crosser. At the very least surely you’d want someone who works for the cartel, which most people dreaming of becoming fruit pickers in California aren’t. | ||
