    Don't forget the legal issues with acquiring the land and splitting off part of the US (basically giving it to Mexico), not to mention the environmental issues

  3. Or just go in with tourist visas

    the last one hit the border right at election time

    Because that's about 25% of the time and the weather was better? Or is there another reason?

    Birthright citizenship isn't the incentive though, people want their kids to be in the US for the same reason they want to be in the US: Better jobs, safer, higher standards of living compared to their home counties.

    To remove those incentives you have to either improve the countries they're coming from or make the US worse. Personally, I'd prefer not to make the US worse

    No, a wall isn't needed along the whole border. Certain parts? Sure! There are vasts parts of the border that it would be useless because it couldn't be monitored and devastating to communities and the environment.

    What's more, a lot of the people coming across the border are seeking asylum and WANT to get caught!

    Even worse, the vast majority of immigrants come in through legal ports of entry like airports!

    There's no "Crisis" at the border, if there was, a wall wouldn't solve it. It's all just a pet project so Trump can stroke his ego and claim he fulfilled a campaign promise (well except the part that Mexico would pay for it)

    The consequence of the last election is there aren't enough votes in the House to get a wall

    But a big expensive wall does not equate to border control. Trump doesn't care about border control, he just wants his big wall.

    Did you have a stroke or something? Seems you're forgotten how to spell common words.

    Anyways, your idea sounds great for someone that never uses devices outside of their home!

    Probably an apt comparison would be to old-school cooking shows where the chef cooked something on screen and talked through it, but more like if they did it in front of a live audience with audience questions. Of course since it's open to anyone, you're going to find a lot of piles of shit similar to youtube

    It's not actually the same. If you watch the pro e-sport leagues, where there are teams and tournaments, that's more like watching football, but watching individuals more casually stream is more like watching a show where the audience can interact with the host. It's a lot about personality same as many youtube channels

    WTF are you talking about? It sounds like Google is solving a problem with navigation that a lot of sites are creating. Even facebook has the problem that when you click "back" you don't go back to the previous page you were on, you stay on facebook.

    However when someone drives a Tesla drunk, it is Tesla's fault. Yes, that makes perfect sense, Mr. Simpleton. I mean Simpson.

    Well the driver was the one arrested in this case, not the Tesla

  18. Sure it is, you just turn off the dirty plant and turn on the clean one

  19. Even if it is coal, that's a lot easier to switch to a different, cleaner source than it is to clean the manufacturing emissions

  20. No reason not to take multiple paths to solving the problem. We're already moving to more electric cars which will solve that part, so it makes sense to also focus on industrial sources.

  21. My watch shows 24h but also analog dial that only shows 12h

  22. Need bigger clocks :/

  23. It would solve some problems but cause many others since time zones would still be needed. The post office might close at 5PM (for example), but now that's going to be 11PM or 2AM - that closing time would be based on time zones, so now everyone is using time zones, but there's not even an indicator where they are.

    Better solution is to just schedule things like calls using UTC

  24. Because that's even MORE confusing and people still need to have time zones to figure out when common times are. Lunch is usually around noon, but if you travel somewhere, now lunch might be at 3AM. Businesses would have to have shifting hours based on their location which they would still use time zones for, even if all the times were in UTC
