This also confirms that non citizens were receiving SSDI. I said that happened on this board, and was told repeatedly that they could not get SS.
Non citizens who are here legally and pay into the system can get benefits. Undocumented workers cannot.

I read an opinion piece by a utility president that runs a multi-state utility that extends from NJ to Illinois. He kept talking about the crisis in electric rates (except not at his well managed utility....).

So I looked up the table below (I didn't pick the states) and surprise to no one, the rates are out of control in blue dominated states. Part of California's increase is to bury electric lines to prevent future wildfires, but I think it is obvious what states data centers won't want to locate in.

Approximate increase in residential electricity rates since 2020​

StateApprox. increase since 2020
California+60% to +70%
Massachusetts+45% to +55%
New York+40% to +50%
Texas+15% to +25%
Arizona+20% to +30%
Nevada+10% to +25%

Partisanship is basically linked to brain rot these days.

Last I checked Putin wins pretty fast!

Btw, the only material cheating in a recent federal election was in North Carolina and benefitted a Republican. And there was cheating. It wasn’t a huge number of votes but the race was close enough the courts ordered a new election (won by a new R candidate not involved in the prior cheating).
The only material cheating, lol. I feel better that it only happened in one small pocket of NC. Cardboard coverings in Philly, amazing well time water main breaks in Atlanta (and strange suitcases full of ballots on video).

So, if you only believe in guilty pleas as was the case in NC, how come you as a lawyer continue to cite wrt Trump - 2 impeachments and countless indictments? Always acquitted with the exception of civil court where we know the bar is low.

A dry winter means 14 MAF vs 15.5. The people running the water allocations have been punting for years and Lake Mead is too low for more punting. Stating the obvious.

Some don’t seem to understand the concerns around adding a couple more million people in Arizona. The obvious doesn’t seem obvious to all.

These "abnormalities" (if true) have been seen before around elections. Always when the Dem candidate wins. Seems damn near unbelievable.

Are the Dems the same party that..

..ignored US border laws

..have soft on crime prosecutors that allow repeat offenders to repeat offend

..told us the Vax stopped the spread

..chose their presidential candidate going against the primary vote

..acted like the G Floyd riots/ vandalism/ assault/ murder were peaceful protest

Asking for a friend?

I ran this information through AI and it thinks this "anomaly" did happen and the odds are similar to flipping a coin and having it land on heads 3,855 times in a row. Not possible. The only reason AI thinks it could realistically happen is that it has happened before. Of course, it acknowledged it only has happened in blue areas. Huh.

You forgot to mention the G Floyd rioters had invincibility to Covid and their gatherings met the approval of Democrats despite truly peaceful folks requiring masks and social distancing in public.

Except I don't have an issue with more people living in Arizona. I don't want it to become like S Calif with 24/7 traffic jams but the amount of less water people use vs agriculture is significant. Water is extremely low priced to farmers in the Colorado river basin - no wonder 70-80% is used for agriculture. If they made the farmers pay for the infrastructure the taxpayers paid to build Hoover Dam, Glen Canyon Dam, and all the canals and machinery to get the water to the Imperial valley, China wouldn't be able to buy alfalfa at subsidized rates. Why are water rates subsidized? (politics, incl Gavin Newsome who loves to spend Federal monies)

AZ has been pushing water conservation and has limits on population growth so we are not the problem despite people in semi-arid Denver throwing stones. I have a zero-scape yard (no grass), how about you?
