(insert witty cynicism here) I RT lots of Warhammer40k and politics. RTs not always endorsements. Often NSFW. Truth above all else.

Remember the national outrage when a White lady said a word to Black kid who was stealing from her at a Minnesota playground? Of course. Remember the national outrage when a little White kid was butchered to death by a Black kid at a Michigan playground? No. There wasn't any.

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

In 2015, Disney called 250 IT workers into a meeting. They thought they were getting bonuses. Disney told them they were being replaced by workers flown in from India on H-1B visas, and if they didn't spend the next 90 days training those replacements, they'd lose their severance. Leo Perrero testified before Congress about it. Appeared on 60 Minutes. "Someone was flown in from another country to sit at my same desk and take over what I was doing. It was the most humiliating thing I've ever gone through in my life." Two workers sued Disney, HCL, and Cognizant for colluding to illegally displace American workers. Courts dismissed it. Disney Magic.

ICYMI Donald Trump ends Jonathan Pollard's parole upon request by Jewish groups. Pollard was US Navy analyst, jailed for passing top level secrets to Israel. Israel then asks Trump to pardon Pollard's Israeli handler, Aviem Sella. He does. Tell me Trump is not compromised.🔥

Try to process what an insane amount this is * You could cover the healthcare costs of every 13-18 year old in America for a year * You could deport 96 million people, based on Erik Prince's offer of $25 billion for 12 million * You could give down payment vouchers of $25,000 to all first time home buyers and rate buydowns of 2-3% for young first-time home buyers for that amount But instead you get to piss it away to ensure Greater Israel forms Ask yourself who is running your government
