"The only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is that good men (or women) do nothing."

I am so happy to see Arizona finally getting its shit together.

I was born there. So many people thought they were doing some sort of self-reflection by moving there, and we were like, "So, Minnesota or Wisconsin? Oh, god, not Chicago." And then there was the enemy to the west, which was so awesome they didn't want to be there anymore.

If one lives in a neighbouring state, the only thing Californians provide is making things more expensive. That housing is expensive and you chose to leave does not mean I am somehow responsible for your efforts to double housing prices in a few years.

California is like the third largest economy in the world alone, dude. Lol their biggest export is not “making things more expensive”…

Thank god, the fascist pigs will seethe and snort but they can go gorge on slop somewhere else.
