Spin Zone / Re: Immigration.

Unfortunately the communist have blurred the difference between illegal immigration (invaders) and immigration, so much so that people can't understand the difference.

What we have right now isn't covered under the immigration laws, policy and procedures.  It's an outright invasion of our country, and is being promoted by the president.   What FJB has done, and is still doing rises to high crimes and misdemeanors, yet congress is too feckless to do anything about it.

 We actually have laws to deal with people illegally entering our country, but again the laws are ignored.  We now have legions of military aged men we know nothing about inside our country, as well as people associated with terrorist groups.   Add in that countries like Venezuela have emptied their prisons by sending them here as we witness crime rising.

  Next on the agenda is the communist in congress will demand amnesty for all the "newcomers".

You weren't spending money back then on the newest iphone, high speed wifi, multiple streaming services, starbucks, etc. It's a spending/saving problem, not an income problem.
I'm also seeing that most young people these days want to buy the same kind of house their parents have now rather than settle for something they can afford and work their way up.  And they're frustrated that their gender studies degree won't land them a job they can live on.

Me too, we had interest rates around that. There seems to be a difference now though. Young people seem unable to afford to buy a house.  But my husband and I could when we were young, even with those interest rates. Is it that the prices are higher than they were back then (adjusted)?  Is it that the young people aren’t earning as much?  Is that because fewer women worked back then? (Dumping women into the workforce created more supply and lowered salaries and wages?)  Or is it because they aren’t marrying and are trying to buy homes by themselves?

There’s a different feel this time around.

I am not claiming this is the primary cause but perhaps it is also contributing. In some sense houses are more sophisticated now and may thus just cost more in real dollars. There is also a lot more regulation and code compliance which likely drives up prices. Many municipalities have actually banned things like the small house movement which was designed to provide more smaller but livable spaces.

I believe the opposite of what I'm told by the Feds.
You can trust that any bill before congress does exactly the opposite of what its title says.  The "Border security bill" does nothing but allow more illegals into the country.

That does make sense.  Thanks!  I'm expecting a total meltdown from the MSM and the left that will be fun to watch.

An update.  My CFII is working on clearing out some primary students and I'm working on clearing out my schedule.  I feel that flying with the CFII only once or so a week isn't helpful to rapid progress so we're delaying until mid-April.  Twice a week was good, but there were too many days canceled due to weather.  So now we'll fly three times a week on a regular schedule until done.  In the meantime I'll focus on precision flying, ATC communications (for real), and all that.

silly girl

what is more likely is that the judge(s) will be investigated...

Casa Alitas offers shelter, necessities and travel assistance to asylum seeking families.
Asylum seekers must by law stop at the first country that doesn't actively oppress them.  As they made it through a dozen other safe countries, they are by definition not asylum seekers.  They are simply freeloaders.  If they want to work, let them work to improve their own country.  If they want to vote for change, let them vote to change their own country.

Update on my husband’s mother (97). Her care home tested her positive for covid and although she had NO SYMPTOMS they moved her into the covid ward and said they were starting her on Paxlovid. My husband said NO PAXLOVID.

We’re now on Day 23 of her having NO SYMPTOMS and thankfully, she has not been on an unnecessary DRUG. They moved her back to her usual room.

We would pick up our bottles of Tabasco sauce from either the PX or the chow hall IF they had any.  I think the military caught on and when they came out with MREs (stands for Meals Rejected by Ethiopians ;D) added it in.
