Mike voted for this but is against it. Rill is worried about water, but couldn’t vote for this. Last I checked millions of illegals, etc consume a lot of water.

But hey, Kamala would have let in tens of millions more.

Meh, Stoney loves to live life in the race baiting, offended lane as opposed to talking about the problem. People like him are not problem solvers, they are more into guilting those that do. It seems to be a weird space to wallow in, but it is their shtick. So, people like you have to waste time defending reality. So strange.
Government spending huge sums of money has always resulted in fraud. Always being investigated and typically prosecuted and punished. These clowns like Kash are doing nothing out of the ordinary except playing for publicity. He and Trump team act like they uncovered fraud in Minnesota when most of it had been prosecuted before they acted like they uncovered it. Largest fraud in Florida occurred under RDS with unemployment comp. He sent tens of billions of dollars to Africa due to undetected fraud. Trump is a master of distraction.

Crazy to think about the lack of water, right?

Kash was making a point, why else slap a large picture and label it Somalia? I don't know how Trump Administration has succeeded in using "fraud" as a distraction, when a sizable donation to the Trump family gets you a Pardon. People have short memory and selective focus.
Hey dumbass, it’s because there is a MASSIVE Somali fraud ring in this country. And it’s orchestrated by dem pols. You know this and are trying to deflect by crying racism. My goodness you’re a disaster.

Chateau de Purdon built in late 1700's in rural France used fire resistance at the structures.

Slate roofs, no asphalt, no oil based shingles.

Run off from rain or melted snow ran off roof. Flowed onto small rectangular stones laid on a flow angle to direct the rain into stone culverts and then huge water storage cisterns for use in hot weather patterns or fire.

Take a vacation to Bermuda. Almost all single family homes have rain water collection systems that include cisterns for residential water use.

It ain't rocket science !

Bermuda gets close to 60” of rain per year. Rain collection systems aren’t real useful in areas that don’t get rain.

Phoenix is at just over 1” so far this year.

Caveman level thinking going on here BW. Different parts of the world have different limitations. I was hoping you were at Water 101 level thinking. But I’m worried you are at CTE grade level.

Not only is it mostly terrible basketball, but the WNBA rejects fairness. I am glad I have never wasted a minute watching their product.
They’ve really killed the golden goose. They just can’t have a highly skilled white woman leading the league, despite the crowds growing because of it. Truly the WNBA promotes racism at its core instead of promoting womens basketball.

The Storm is Coming!!!!
It’s a conundrum. On one hand it’s easy to guess Republicans lose seats in the midterms. Why? That’s pretty standard the sitting President’s party loses seats. Normal politics isn’t a storm. OTOH, we have the Democrats inciting violence, riots and radicalism to remain in power and the Dem leadership is now shocked that the DSA commies in their party can’t be controlled and are eating the rest of the Party. Midterms will be interesting for sure.

DUH!!! Please give examples of the violence, riots and radicalism to which you refer? How many commies were elected that are eating the rest of the party? Was it 3 or 4? What a tsunami! LOL 🤡

A subsidized product is an unwanted and undesirable product.

These Illinois fan sites all dutifully report on Illinois Women’s basketball which frankly no one cares about. People only subscribe to these sites for insight on MBB and football. Take that away and the business model is nothing but an electric car without subsidies.

The men’s World Cup just expanded from 32 teams to 48 teams and for the most part, the new teams were fairly competitive and worthy.

there might be about 16 competitive women’s teams in the whole world. Expansion there would be stupid.

I don't like watching the WNBA because it is dominated by large women wrestling and frequently throwing wild elbows or worse. The cheap shots on Caitlyn Clark are well documented but for some reason the WNBA wants a "physical" game. The male head coach of the Phoenix Mercury just made an impassioned statement that it was totally unfair for the league to suspend his player that just punched Caitlyn Clark in the throat. He has to do this as head coach except what he said is bullcrap and he knows it. All the Phoenix teammates backed the coach and the player's "physical play".

And the WNBA wants young girls to watch this?
