On the off chance you're sincere but not well educated on this topic: > What are you talking about? Kamala Harris was DA for SF during the early 2010s, where she explicitly backed the city's sanctuary policies. As CA AG she opposed the "Stop Sanctuary Policies and Protect Americans Act", which was aimed at deterring sanctuary cities through withholding of federal funding. In the 2024 presidential election she was the…

Well, your original statement was “Let's not enforce any immigration law, and subsidize those here illegally” and then brought up sanctuary cities. It’s not the city or states job to enforce federal immigration laws. This was confirmed by the Supreme Court https://www.scotusblog.com/2025/07/supreme-court-denies-flor... In other words your argument is prima facie irrelevant. The city or state is not responsible for “e…

> It’s not the city or states job to enforce federal immigration laws. This has never been claimed nor intimated in this entire thread. I can tell you're having a difficult time understanding what I'm saying.

We could immediately provide relief to fuel prices, while doing the climate a huge favor, by immediately suspending the USPS accepting marketing material through the mail. My mailbox is permanently jammed with paper that useless paper that is both produced and hauled away to a landfill by diesel fuel. No I do not want your credit card offer. No I do not want to switch phone plans. No I do not want an extended warrant…

Again your argument is irrelevant. The Supreme Court has just as often struck down gun laws where a city couldn’t do anything about it. Your question isn’t in good faith.

Oh and Obama deported more people than Trump..

Amazon still charges ebook publishers the same “delivery fee” for each sold digital copy (US$0.15/megabyte) as it did in the mid 2000s when Kindles came with 3g chips. https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G200634500

AWS egress prices have been the same for a decade despite massive networking advancements. In two decades, since 2006, they've only come down by about 50%.
