Because people who have lost everything are more likely to sell their storm damaged property for far less than it's worth. The real estate prospectors buy it up, and either develop it or sell it to a developer at a profit.

Hurray for you Ben. Don't let anyone get away with putting you down. As someone who follows Mohawk tradition, I share the Indigenous view that people like you, with your different way fo seeing the world, are gifts from Creator meant to enrich all our lives.

I was a Special Forces Communications Sergeant in the Army. If I'd made the sort of "error" Hegseth and co. made, I'd have been at the very least reprimanded. I may also have been demoted, lost my security clearance or even discharged from the Army. GOP is like "Aw, give 'em a break".

Our Republic was endangered the day too many people started basing how they voted on what a candidate said would happen if they weren't elected, rather than what would actually happen if they were.

America cannot be made great by electing,then re-electing Trump for the same type of behavior that forced Nixon to resign in humiliation.

National Parks were one of the most common destinations for foreign visitors. Were. Since they are currently grossly understaffed, and many probably won't exist much longer, that's still more revenue disappearing from the US.

The only thing worse than a Narcissist is when tens of millions of Narcissists form some sort of megalithic Narcissist hive mind and assume that means they aren't as toxic as they actually are.

Many people voted out of fear. They didn't notice that the fear was created by those seeking their votes. The fear is used to put people in bondage. Some people willingly go into bondage if they think it will eliminate the cause of the fear. It never will because the fear is an illusion to bind them

Why is it the idea of someone being a Moderate politically is so rare? Why have we descended into the mental morass of expecting people to be either Conservative OR Liberal, but never a combination of the two ideologies? It's so counterproductive for us to make it an either/or situation.

I believe Trump's plan is to privatize as many services as possible.

Musk claiming DOGE has saved billions of dollars is like someone cutting off their own leg and saying, "Look! I've lost 40 pounds!"
