Naw. They would like to return to 1984. It's the gateway to 2023 and after.

Once again, Repubs don't understand what words mean.

When politicians pass a law that cannot be enforced, they're passing it for political reasons (which aren't really "reasons" at all).

But if the Christians are right, aren't we all descended from Adam and Eve and thus related?

I too love the things I have planted (hundreds of trees in Florida and Maine) but here in the Mojave it is wrong to use scarce water on landscaping. For me family and roots are important and I will have neither here soon. I had a decent community of friends here, but we are all old and most of them are now gone or unable to participate . Also my medical problems (DVT and PE and resurgent arthritis) mean I can't hike any distance now so I've lost my hiking group. I'll miss the house but I'd be too lonely here after the kids leave. Also in ABQ I'll be much closer to old friends in Santa Fe and my daughter and her family in Colorado Springs. In ABQ I can catch the train to my son in Boston and I like trains. No more air travel for me.

Well that sounds like a plan then. May you have a quick sale and easy move.

That there are both hungry children and Elon Musk is a fucking travesty.

Or, absent federal child care allowances at least require that every office block that goes up has a floor or some portion thereof dedicated to child care, proportional to the workforce employed there. Like in that socialist hellhole France.

Holy crap, free association isn't a thing anymore in Red States. Let that be a helpful hint to you other states, if you want to make sure most people in your state are technically criminals if they live with people they aren't blood relatives to, or are married to vote GOP.

My state passed a Stand Your Ground law and a Constitutional Concealed Carry law.

So... they're banning share Houses? For the EXPRESS PURPOSE of preventing people saving money on rent? JFC. They're deliberately increasing poverty and homelessness for...?

Ever spend time in NM? Seem different than other places? It is. The locals are tough and it shows, in fact they are the only North Americans to stand firm for the last five centuries and actually chose to join the US after fending off colonialism on all fronts. Say hello to the only actual Real Americans. Awesome they are doing this for their kids but not surprising.
