I don't see why they even need to be in these cities. If the problem is that businesses are hiring illegals and landlords are renting to them, levy a few fines and then you'll see suddenly nobody wants anything to do with them anymore.

If the problem is fake Somali daycares, this is about just not giving out federal grants without checking for fraud.

None of this requires parading around the city, IMO the parading is mostly performative and in fact they *don't* want to do any of the actual obvious measures...

Well, H1B-Slavery is another topic. DEI hires are (AFAIK) pretty much all citizens, but my suspicion is that companies hire them in some kind of quid-pro-quo deal with the govt, so if ever that subsidy disappears, they'll all be let go the following day...

Knowing how senior management thinks, I have the feeling that all of the DEI hires are gonna be laid off the millisecond government subsidies dry up...

Before the post-reality era, DEI was a networking term which meant that a packet was expendable, and should therefore be the first one discarded in order to relieve network congestion.

> Defund the police then?

Source of the problem is that criminals vote (often more than once), and so politicians pander to them. Judges are politicians, and police work for them.

Everybody pays basically the same number. There is a discount because Russia has a hard time offloading oil with the sanctions, but even that discount is gonna be something that's fairly well known around the oil trading community. Keeping secrets is hard...

They just pay the market + transport costs and with discounts based on what other buyers (๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ) Russia has. This is like one of the *easiest* things to price.
