Rather than rapidly expanding facilities, we will pursue a strategy of maintaining long-term profitability. We will minimize the risk of oversupply through a capital expenditure (CAPEX) strategy that balances customer demand and pricing.

Actually she says she's "closer to YES than NO" but she's been threatening to run forever, and now that the Texas redistricting map is being implemented, she will probably not be able to win her new "home" district. (Because it's represented by another black Democrat she'd have to defeat in the primary.)
I don't know why I didn't realize this before, but this idiot grifter has been claiming for months that Republicans -- who she constantly attacks, often in very personal schoolyard bully terms, like attacking Republican women for their appearances -- keep stopping her in airports telling her that they secretly support her in her ratchet retarded attack on Republicans. I now understand why this shameless narcissist and grifter is telling this obvious lie: She wants to be able to tell Democrats in a primary election that, despite her having extremely high negatives in polls, Republicans secretly support her and they're just lying to pollsters because Republican women (who she says are ugly and unfashionable) feel they have to lie to pollsters about supporting Jasmine Ratchet or else their violent MAGA husbands will beat them to death.Posted by: Ace at 06:30 PM | Comments (248) | Trackbacks (Suck)
President Trump gave Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro a strongly worded ultimatum as tensions flared with the South American nation -- telling him to resign and leave or else, according to a bombshell report. During a call between Trump and Maduro, the socialist president demanded that he be allowed to maintain control of Venezuela's military if he paved the way for free elections there, said the Miami Herald, citing sources. Maduro also reportedly sought global amnesty for all of his alleged crimes. Trump's refusal on both counts was said to be swift as he followed up with an offer that Maduro may not be able to refuse: Leave now or else.
The pair's talks quickly broke down, with a US pol Sunday lamenting that the ongoing "war" between the two sides is already deadlier than Vietnam for his state. "It killed 100,000 Americans last year," McCormick said of the drug trade. "That's twice the number of people that died in eight years of Vietnam -- 4,000 Pennsylvanians." After the phone call between Trump and Maduro failed to reach a detente, the US president announced he was closing the airspace around the South American country, as America's largest warship, the USS Gerald F. Ford -- and a Marine expeditionary unit, capable of amphibious invasion -- float offshore. Trump also warned over the weekend that military operations inside Venezuela could begin "very soon."
Trump only told reporters Sunday that he spoke with Maduro recently, adding, "I wouldn't say it went well or badly." ... Trump informed Maduro during their chat that Maduro, his wife and son would be allowed to leave Venezuela safely, but they must do it immediately, sources said. "First, Maduro asked for global amnesty for any crimes he and his group had committed, and that was rejected," a source familiar with the call told the Herald. "Second, they asked to retain control of the armed forces -- similar to what happened in Nicaragua in '91 with Violeta Chamorro. In return, they would allow free elections," the source said. That proposal was also rejected, while the demand that Maduro resign immediately was made. The offer of amnesty was also extended to Maduro's top allies, the Herald noted. After the breakdown, Trump ramped up pressure on Venezuela and warned that the US would target drug-trafficking networks "by land" soon. By Saturday, he made an announcement on social media that Venezuela's airspace should be considered "closed in its entirety," stoking fears of a looming war in the South American country of 28 million people. It remains unclear how Trump intends to enforce the no-fly decree, as the US has no authority over Venezuelan airspace. But by Sunday afternoon, a FlightRadar24 map showed that there were no international planes flying over Venezuela.

No lies detected.
Trump called Walz "retarded." When the leftwing Foreign Pirate Cover-Up Media pretended to get the vapors, Trump doubled down.President Trump on Sunday said he meant every word of his Thanksgiving attack on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, telling reporters aboard Air Force One that he stands by calling the Democrat "retarded" and adding, "Yeah, I think there's something wrong with him," when asked whether he wanted to revise the remark. Trump pointed directly to Walz's record as the reason for his choice of words, arguing that no responsible governor would preside over the kind of refugee policies that have transformed Minnesota in the way he described. "Anybody that would allow those people into a state and pay billions of dollars out to Somalia," Trump said, before launching into a broader criticism of Somalia itself. He told reporters the country "has a name, but it doesn't function like a country," and said Walz's approach to migration shows "there's something wrong" with his leadership, not Trump's assessment of it. The controversy stemmed from Trump's Thanksgiving post on Truth Social, where he warned that America's "refugee burden" has become a driving force behind what he called growing dysfunction in communities across the country. Minnesota, he argued, is the clearest example. In that message, Trump accused Walz of letting "hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia" take hold of the state, writing that organized gangs are "roving the streets looking for 'prey' as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone."

Import third world people, get third world culture and crime.
Maybe it's time for the Cultural Enrichers to enrich the cultures of their own countries. Trump pitched this on Thanksgiving.President Trump on Thursday ordered a full halt to migration from all Third World countries and launched an aggressive audit of green cards from 19 nations, saying the D.C. shooting that killed National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom exposed the failures of Biden-era vetting and left the country vulnerable. The president's order suspends migration from developing nations while federal agencies comb through green cards issued to immigrants from Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela. Federal officials described the audit as a full-scale, rigorous review that could reach tens of thousands of legal residents -- an extraordinary step triggered by Wednesday's ambush near the White House.
... When a reporter challenged Trump's repeated argument that Biden bore responsibility for Lakanwal's entry, Trump responded: "Are you stupid?" He repeated it several times as she attempted to continue, saying, "They let them in... They came in on a plane with thousands of others who shouldn't be here." After the exchange, Trump outlined a broader slate of directives that go far beyond the migration pause. He said he would move to end all federal benefits for noncitizens, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic stability, and unwind "millions" of Biden-era immigration admissions -- including those approved using Biden's autopen, which Trump has repeatedly criticized. Trump argued that years of lenient admissions under Biden fueled social strain across the country, pointing to census figures showing 53 million foreign nationals now in the United States. He said many arrivals came from "failed nations" or situations that placed heavy burdens on schools, hospitals, housing, and law-enforcement resources, warning that Americans have been forced to absorb consequences Washington refused to confront.

They're all scumbags and crazy whores.
It's possible that this is just a silly "Look at me with your lipstick on" photo but I suspect it's more Buffalo Bill than Monty Python.
Democrat Delegate Stacey Plaskett, the Virgin Islands' non-voting member of Congress, garnered headlines recently when it came to light that she took direction from sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing. Her relationship with Epstein is especially notable because Plaskett herself had "private nude images" of her stolen by her own ex-staffers, who used them to attempt to sabotage her re-election campaign. The husband of one of the culprits was, like Epstein, later found dead. In March 2016, Plaskett asked staffer Juan R. McCullum to fix her iPhone. After snooping around, McCullum found nude images and videos, including one of her husband naked and wearing makeup while their young child was in the room, according to court papers.
... In July 2016, after leaving Plaskett's office to work for Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL), McCullum created an email address and sent the photos to politicians and the media, as well as posted them to Facebook using a fake account. Police traced the accounts to McCullum and found that he had communicated with another former Plaskett staffer, Dorene Browne-Louis, who had gone on to work for the Department of Homeland Security. "Somebody will pay for how we were treated," he wrote to Browne-Louis. ... In his messages, McCullum "voiced opposition to Delegate S.P. and attempted to use the communications to undermine Delegate S.P.'s re-election campaign." Both culprits pleaded guilty. In a victim impact statement, Plaskett told the court that "our family's privacy was invaded, pillaged and we were basically raped by Juan McCullum and Dorene Browne-Louis... Why, because I was mean? I demanded a lot, I demand most of myself." Plaskett continued, "We got calls from the White House with complaints that McCullum was pretending to be a member of the White House staff, we should have fired him then but I asked him to put his head down and let it blow over."At least she didn't play the race card.
"I'm so grateful for all the people at home who rallied around me," she wrote. "The women who saw it for what it was. Bringing a black woman down. McCullum you're like some creep who rips a woman's clothes off in public, like the slave seller ripping a black woman's clothes off."I spoke too soon.
"Then you went further. They tried to first emasculate my husband. Say he was not a man, because there was a picture of him with makeup. Makeup it was obvious he was not happy to be wearing. That he lost in a bet. The worst was that they tried to put in the public that my husband and I allowed our daughter who was around 4-5 at the time of the picture in some perverted unnatural situation. For that reason, I want to physically destroy the two of them." Plaskett's husband, Jonathan Buckney-Small, wrote in his victim impact statement that he ran into McCullum after finding out about the photos and "NEVER had I felt the pulse the beat the flow my blood asking me to take matters in my own hands that night when you couldn't look me in the eye. It was then it was clear I had a decision I had to make do I go to jail to make myself feel better or do I let time take you do [sic] jail."So they both indicated they were prepared to kill the "slavers." And then:
In August 2016, a month after the photos and video were published, Browne-Louis's husband, Gregory Benson Louis, was shot and killed outside the firehouse where he worked.He was shot execution style:
Gregory Benson Louis, 50, was a supervisor at the Hotel Company fire station in Charlotte Amalie. Louis was shot and killed Thursday night. According to police, he was seated on a bench outside the fire station when he was shot in the back of the head at about 7:30 p.m. He was declared dead on the scene by emergency medical technicians.I can't find any articles about his murderer being found, but then, there's not a lot about this murder in the newspapers and not much from the Virgin Islands generally. Maybe he was caught. I don't know. Plaskett sure seemed to generate a lot of hatred.

You know Somali fraud in Minnesota is huge when even the New York Times can't cover it up any longer:

Whistleblowers say they told Walz that Somalis were stealing the state -- and the federal government -- blind. But Walz kept paying out to his foreign pirate voters anyway. Walz then engaged in reprisals against the whisteblowers.
The whistleblowers posted this public bill of indictment against Walz.
Tim Walz' own public servants are now breaking ranks and accusing the Democrat governor of presiding over what they describe as sweeping fraud inside the state's social services system -- and retaliating against the very people who tried to warn him. In a post on X Friday, a group identifying themselves as Minnesota Department of Human Services employees declared, "Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota," laying the blame squarely on the governor for what they call years of misconduct, mismanagement, and political protectionism. The employees said they alerted Walz early about rampant abuse in the state's social programs, hoping he would help them clean it up. Instead, they say, he "did the opposite," unleashing what they call a "cascade of systemic failures" that included monitoring staff, issuing threats, and attempting to discredit reports that exposed wrongdoing. They allege agency leadership handpicked by Walz "willfully disregarded rules and laws to keep fraud reports quiet" and filled top posts with political allies who were "not qualified for their jobs." Staffers who witnessed or documented fraud were "shut down, reassigned and told to keep quiet," the statement said. The employees publicly named several officials they say have been shielded from accountability: Shireen Gandhi, Jess Geil, Jodi Harpstead, Natasha Merz, and Eric Grumdahl. According to the whistleblowers, these officials helped bury fraud complaints rather than act on them -- a pattern they argue has cost Minnesota taxpayers millions and undermined trust in the state's largest agency. Walz has pushed back on the criticism, telling The New York Times that his administration "erred on the side of generosity" during the pandemic and disputing claims that concerns about racial optics slowed the state's response. He pointed to more recent fraud-prevention efforts, though the employees say those steps came only after years of ignored warnings. ... With no confidence left in the state's leadership, the whistleblowers say they are now appealing to federal authorities to intervene. "We can't fight fraud in Minnesota alone," they wrote -- a plea that signals just how deep they believe the rot runs inside the Walz administration.
Really. You don't say. MPR is Minnesota Public Radio, I presume. You know, that crusading independent news source that farmers in the boonies rely upon exclusively to learn about their government.
Minnesota Department of Human Service Employees
@Minnesota_DHS Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports. Instead of partnership, we got the full weight of retaliation by Tim Walz, certain DFL members and an indifferent mainstream media. It's scary, isolating and left us wondering who we can turn to. In addition to retaliating against whistleblower, Tim Walz disempowered the Office of the Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard their audit findings and guidance. Media and politicians supporting Tim Walz or the DFL-agenda attacked whistleblowers who were trying to raise red flags on fraudulent activities. This is a cascade of systemic failures leading up to Tim Walz. Agency leaders appointed by Tim Walz willfully disregarded rules and laws to keep fraud reports quiet - even to the extent of threatening families of whistleblowers. These same leaders are not qualified for their jobs, instead getting leadership jobs via Tim Walz's friendship so state government were left floundering. DFL lawmakers refused to acknowledge fraud and deflected any serious conversation to stop fraud. Biased mainstream media such as WCCO and MPR showed absolutely no interest in covering fraud happening in our own state.
Programs, especially in behavioral health and disability services were built without any guardrails against fraud, all in an attempt to extract more funding from legislature and the federal government. As staff, we firsthand witnessed and observed fraud happening yet we were shutdown, reassigned and told to keep quiet. Sometimes more. Leadership did not want to appear to discriminate against certain communities and were unwilling to take action, such as stopping fraud, that would have an adverse impact on their image. To date, no single agency leader has been held responsible for their role in fraud whether it's Shireen Gandhi, Jess Geil, Jodi Harpstead, Natasha Merz, Eric Grumdahl or others. It is a structure created and maintained by Tim Walz who has created an environment of inter-related agencies and institutions including the media - that help foster fraud through retaliation and turning a blind eye in exchange for political gain in the form of high power agency leadership jobs or other perks. Fundamentally, Tim Walz is dishonest, lacks ethics and integrity, has poor leadership abilities, and has never taken any accountability for his role in fraud. Instead, Tim Walz deflects by blaming national politics for his own failings and distracts the public with inveterate lying. These lies include his reference of a budget surplus under his tenure. Fact is, Minnesota never had a surplus, we had been given federal ARPA funds that were conflated as surplus money otherwise, we'd be in a deficit. And those ARPA funds, which were meant to be temporary funds were used to create more leadership positions for Tim Walz "buddies." As such, we can't fight fraud in Minnesota alone hence why we're appealing to the federal levels of government. We need all the help we can get as Tim Walz's agency leaders have upped their brazen approach in covering up their knowledge of fraud. We are grateful to numerous solid politicians (esp the Fraud Committee) and media outlets who are trying to halt fraud. We are also grateful to other whistleblowers who are bravely stepping up. Thank You NY Times for bringing the plight of Minnesota to the national stage.

The terrorists were so vetted you guys.
An Afghan national brought into the country under former President Biden's Operation Allies Welcome program was arrested Monday after authorities say he posted a TikTok video that appeared to show him assembling an explosive device and naming Fort Worth as the intended target. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the case this week, with Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin announcing the arrest of Mohammad Dawood Alokozay on terroristic-threat charges. The Texas Department of Public Safety and the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force carried out the operation, booking Alokozay into Tarrant County Jail on November 25, according to WFAA in Dallas. Alokozay's arrival in the United States was part of the Biden administration's mass-parole effort for Afghan nationals following the chaotic 2021 withdrawal -- a program increasingly under scrutiny after a string of violent incidents involving its recipients. His arrest came just one day before another Afghan national allegedly gunned down two West Virginia National Guard soldiers in Washington, D.C., killing 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom and critically wounding 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe. Both attacks, separated by barely 24 hours, have reignited warnings from conservatives about national-security lapses under Biden's refugee policies. By Thursday, President Trump responded with a sweeping announcement of his own. In a Thanksgiving night video, Trump condemned the Beckstrom-Wolfe attack as "an act of evil, and an act of hatred, and an act of terror," adding that it was "a crime against humanity" and "an act against our entire nation." He said the pair of incidents underscored "the single-greatest national security threat facing our nation" and vowed a full review of every Afghan brought in under Biden's program.The left is insisting that all of these terrorists were extremely super vetted. Mollie Hemingway doesn't believe that, but adds: If these terrorists were let through by the "vetting" process, then we cannot vet these terrorists at all.

Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is issuing an Alert as part of Treasury’s effort to prevent the exploitation of the U.S. financial system by illegal aliens in the United States seeking to move illicitly obtained funds. Annually over the past several years, the United States has witnessed a significant volume of cross-border funds transfers, including remittances from individuals located in the United States, and has taken multiple steps this year to highlight risks presented by cross-border financial activity. “Money services businesses should be vigilant in identifying suspicious financial activity involving illegal aliens who present significant threats to national security and public safety,” said Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence John K. Hurley. This Alert is consistent with Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion. Money services businesses (MSBs) are generally required to file a suspicious activity report for a transaction that involves at least $2,000 and that the MSBs know, suspect, or have reason to suspect is relevant to a possible violation of law or regulation. This includes the cross-border transfer of funds derived from unlawful employment or otherwise derived from funds the MSB knows, suspects, or has reason to suspect were illicitly obtained in the United States.The full report issued by FinCEN to money services businesses is at this link, including this explanation for their action, “FinCEN has taken multiple steps this year to highlight the risks involved with cross-border financial activity, particularly transactions that benefit Mexico-based cartels, several of which have been designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.” Freightwaves and its CEO Craig Fuller have done a great job covering the many problems related to the explosive growth of illegal, foreign truck drivers that are behind the wheel on American roads. In a piece over the weekend, Mr. Fuller discusses the impact of this new regulation on the trucking industry and beyond, since much of the unlawful earnings of those foreign truck drivers are wired back to their home countries. “The Feds drop the hammer on illegal immigration” [Freightwaves – 11/29/2025]
Of the estimated 11–14 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S., roughly 60% to 70% regularly send remittances, totaling approximately $160 billion annually—an amount exceeding the GDP of many countries. Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador alone receive over $100 billion combined. By explicitly criminalizing funds derived from unlawful employment, the Administration aims to choke off this massive financial flow. When these flows are severely restricted, the financial incentive to remain in the U.S. shadow economy evaporates, resulting in a collapse of the economic model of illegal immigration.But what if the employees of companies that do international wires simply turn a blind eye and do not complete the Suspicious Activity Reports required by the Treasury Department? That would be a bad decision. Wires leave an easily traceable trail under Treasury’s purview, and there could be harsh penalties for those who don’t comply. More specifically, the executives of companies who don’t comply could go to jail. As reported by Freightwaves:
FinCEN’s far-reaching powers include the ability to: • Compel any financial institution to hand over records without a warrant (via National Security Letters).Conservatives seeking to de-incentivize illegal immigration have long advocated for the imposition of severe remittance taxes on foreign wires sent by illegal aliens. This Treasury Department action prohibiting the international wiring of “proceeds from unlawful employment” will have much the same impact. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]
• Unilaterally freeze assets.
• Impose civil penalties of $250,000 per transaction.
• Criminally prosecute executives for “willful blindness.”

Good morning kids. December is here, and as we start the sprint towards Christmas and New Years, why not kick things off with a headline that is sure to warm the cockles of your heart.
President Donald Trump suggested that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) should be removed from the United States, referencing allegations that she “supposedly” entered the country by marrying her brother. “Somalia, where you have a Congressman goes around telling everybody about our Constitution, yet she supposedly came into our country by marrying her brother,” Trump said while speaking to reporters on Air Force One. “Well, if that’s true, she shouldn’t be a Congressman, and we should throw her the hell out of our country.”Cockles of the Heart status: {_]Warmed {_]Toasty {X]Extra Freakin' Crispy! It's not just that she all but admits to incest for the purpose of faking her way to citizenship, which is horrible enough. But that she and others of her lineage openly declare their first allegiance is to Somalia, not the USA.
The video has English subtitles during Omar’s statements that she is in Congress to represent Somali Americans’ interests and that the “US will do what we want and nothing else.”That she has not been removed from office or at the barest of minimums severely reprimanded or disciplined is a disgrace. Meh, she is a total disgrace and considering to whom and what she has pledged her allegiance, represents a grave threat to our national security and societal coherence, that s what is left of it after decades of dissolution. So, the President's declaration is all well and good. But what are the odds that he or the appropriate agencies will actually follow through in stripping this filthy bitch of her citizenship and sending her back to the dark age shit hole from whence she came? And even if the process started, the reaction from Leftist/Democrat circles will touch off a furor perhaps not seen since the 2020 summer of love literal firestorms. Sadly and to our great misfortune and shame we are stuck with her and her kind unless there is a massive paradigm shift in both the public's tolerance for the kind of Islamo-Leftist thuggery that resulted in the shootings in DC and in the justice system that is clearly tilted against the American people and geared towards protecting the criminal elements that keep leftists in power and the citizenry cowed into submission.
And speaking of the slaughter o National Guardsmen in DC, how is it that this ghoul who openly boasted of being an eager and willing collaborator in Nazi war crimes has not been long ago sent packing perhaps to face a prison cell in Hungary. I seem to recall that he supposedly has a death sentence hanging over his head in some country for doing what he does best; destroy their currency. He has used the billions he has made, the seed money of which was what he earned from the Nazis by helping them in their rounding up and shipping off to Auschwitz of Hungary's Jews in 1944. Among them a number of my mother's relatives. And here at home, we have this totally unsurprising report:
Iranian-Run, Soros-Funded Billboards Urge Soldiers to Disobey Orders This is not only sedition; it’s a national security threat.He and Mark Kelly should only swing from the same noose. All this while things are seemingly heating up between us and Venezuela.
During a call between Trump and Maduro, the socialist president demanded that he be allowed to maintain control of Venezuela’s military if he paved the way for free elections there, said the Miami Herald, citing sources. Maduro also reportedly sought global amnesty for all of his alleged crimes. Trump’s refusal on both counts was said to be swift as he followed up with an offer that Maduro may not be able to refuse: Leave now or else.
Meanwhile an horrific fire in Hong Kong has many on edge. "Arresting dissidents, insulting civil society, Chicoms are behaving badly in the aftermath of the disaster."
In the wake of Hong Kong's terrible, seven-tower Tai Po fire, which killed at least 128, the Hong Kong people impressed many with their spontaneous charity towards their fellow citizens, setting up donation centers, finding housing for the burned-out homeless, including domestic servants, sheltering the pets, feeding firemen, and more. Then their ChiCom rulers showed up, and it all got ugly.And not too far away, President Trump is potentially getting ready for some action in the far east
I'm not talking about the ordinary people of China, of course, many of whom rushed to donate supplies, too -- or even local officials of nearby Shenzhen, which borders Hong Kong. They rapidly lined up fire trucks to help assist the effort -- and apparently were turned down by foolish local officials, although some may have belatedly gotten across the border.
Thus, President Trump’s decision to call Prime Minister Takaichi within a few hours of calling President Xi was a clear and unambiguous signal that he will no longer allow U.S. national security to be circumscribed by The Relationship. Trump shattered the narrative so piously put forth by the CCP and its enablers that the China-US relationship is so special and important that it could never be challenged or changed. To those paying attention, President Trump had hinted at his real perspective on The Relationship earlier this year when he stated, “The worst thing Nixon did wasn’t Watergate; it was allowing China to take advantage of this country. He and Kissinger are the ones who opened up China. And it was a terrible mistake. It didn’t have to be this way.”
Have a good day. And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

- Would you like to buy a clue... For $1 million? (AP)
There's a sculpture called Kryptos at the CIA offices in McLean, Virginia, which contains four panels of encrypted text. Three have been decrypted by puzzle-solvers, but the fourth has defied all attempts since the installation was created in 1990.
The artist, now aged 80, has auctioned off his notes and clues to the contents of that fourth panel... For close to $1 million.

Hong Kong fire death toll rises to 128, with 200 still missing and 8 more arrested
Residents in Wang Fuk Court have said they repeatedly complained to the city's Labor Department about the flammability of the protective green mesh that was used to cover bamboo scaffolding raised around the buildings, only to be told that the fire risk was relatively low, Reuters reported Friday.
This is exactly the 3rd World sensibility that we are busily importing. Respect for human life is a joke in most of the world, but the West has managed to change that, by elevating the individual to primacy. Respect for the law, in this case construction regulations, is a shell game in all but the West. Fake the paperwork, use fake and cheap materials, bribe the inspectors, do what you must to maximize profit, and if a few people die? Oh well! And the state is no better. Building inspectors actively solicit bribes in most of the world! And the regulations written by the regulatory bodies are laughable in their lack of teeth. But we are busily bringing that mindset to America! Sure, there is corruption in America, and there has always been, but our minimum standards, even with crooked officials are far higher, and more stringently policed than anywhere else. But the breathtaking thievery of the 3rd World is a level that we have never even approached here. Soon though!
