Yes, but unless something in the law has changed recently, that money isn't going to the child. It's getting used by the foster parent. And it becomes more egregious with older children and teens.

To me, this goes back to the chip shortage and issues in China affecting the world.

Among many other things, I wanna say Trump is trying to show people how stupid it is for any single country to be a bottleneck. Especially when Trump seems like the kind of guy who would find a way to get something done despite issues with, say, a contractor, or some other scenario in his real estate dealings, right?

So not only is it stupid for the Strait to have such a huge impact on everyone's oil prices, but it's also stupid that Lloyds of London has majority control, if not full control, over shipping insurance and generally being a tool for the globalists to do the things they've been doing with oil and other commodities.

Like Trump will give Joe Public the surface-level reasons for why XYZ is stupid/bad/ etc., but of course there are the underlying reasons like being a cabal tool, etc.

Yeah, they literally say, "We shouldn't ban political parties/idelogies; if that's what the people vote for, that's what they get, for better or worse."

Like no? A party or belief system that is the antithesis of the very soul of this country and its intent in its founding should definitely be banned and never have a platform.

It's not just that its boring, tiresome, complicated politics, you have some conservatives so adamant about freedom and choice that they're willing to accept anyone running for office and expect people to make the right choice (no pun intended).

The vast majority of social workers don't give a fuck. They get paid, and the people fostering get paid. Very few of either give a shit about these kids.

I'd say start at the feet... The problem with any of this is that eventually shock would numb the pain. Similarly to something being so hot that it feels cold because nerve endings were pretty much burned away.

They've got it down to a science.

Multiple families live under a single roof. The men work their day-laborer jobs, until they can pool their money together to buy (nice in the beginning) trucks and equipment to run their own business as subcontractors. Once this is achieved, the women who aren't staying at home to help the other women are on the jobsite with their men as helpers.

The women who do stay home are taking a percentage of the money earned, and buying the worst cuts of meat for the lowest prices, clothes and stuff from goodwill/thrift stores etc, and generally doing things to help save money.

And the goals are varied. Some are trying to save up money to buy land and property in Mexico/other South America countries, some are taking care of family still in Mexico/other South American countries, and some are staying here and buying houses and what not living the american dream.....

Yeah, we'll see if they've really had a change of heart or if they're just gonna try and get Republicans to adopt mid-2000s leftism.

I wish. Unfortunately, most Brits want to rejoin the EU, thinking that leaving was the cause of many financial issues. Many aren't aware of the fine print in the EU charter stating that a country that leaves has to pay millions to the EU over 10 years for the "economic damage" caused by leaving...

To play devil's advocate in asking this question, how will it lead to that? Could they simply not say, "We couldn't control what Rosatom/Russia did with legitimately purchased rights?"

Don't get me wrong, I really want them all to hang, but I don't wanna pin any hopes on something that can be explained away like that, or something like Rosatom only assisted Iran's civilian nuclear program, and Iran took that material and enriched it.

Jesus Christ.

There's a lot more I'd love to say, but I don't want to get put in timeout, so all I will say is that I'm amazed the UK isn't burning to the ground right now.

Yeah yeah, "get violent," and then cry about racism/the klan if white people begin to defend themselves with full force, and in groups, just like they'll be in groups when they "get violent"

Yawn...
