Those texan gun dealers love selling to the cartels through proxy buyers. They are so easy to find if you have access to the right information - just look at whoever buys more than two guns in a 6 month period… the top 80% of that list will probably be unable to procure all the guns they bought because they distribute them over the border.

If we can smuggle people in to the US easily, it should be trivial to smuggle weapons out of the US easily. Hell, if you take out the receivers you can do it in plain sight, just move the receivers illegally.

If you’re immigrating you have to finish a process before you become a resident. My wife wasn’t a resident for a full year until after we got married and she did the process. This means if she spent her money to buy a home during that time she would have been subject to the 100% tax.

This is what I mean. You can buy a house and live in it before you are a permanent resident. You can buy a house on a fucking visa and move in to the house and only later get whatever immigration document gives you lawful resident status.

My wife is on year 4 of the immigration process in the US. She’s still dealing with people misunderstanding how work authorization works with recruiters when applying to roles. She applied ages ago to get the condition removed from her permanent residency. This is even working for years at major companies and making 6 figures. We also bought a home after she started the process.

I know and understand that the US immigration process is not the same as what is in Spain or any other country, but bureaucratic bullshit exists everywhere and you don’t know the gotchas until you go through it yourself.

Saying someone needs to complete a process that can easily take 5+ years in some cases is just not realistic or fair. You shouldn’t be forced to rent, it leaves you ripe to being exploited as an immigrant often by people who are xenophobic and bigoted.

There are ways to change the dynamic of landleeches but screwing immigrants isn’t the solution. Everyone needs a place to live, nobody needs a place to rent out or to leave vacant as an investment. There should also be exceptions for things like commercial properties e.g. things zoned for business use. Shouldn’t be fucking an immigrant over for opening up a gas station or restaurant to make ends meet because the locals are too xenophobic to hire foreigners (a huge issue all over the world.) ___

Spain is adjacent to non-EU areas. Gibraltar is technically British and Morocco definitely isn’t in the EU… and when you go a couple of countries further there’s loads more.

Point being, no idea why you think Immigrants only come from the EU. Dominicans love moving to Spain… as do loads of people in countries of latin america.

I hope there is an exemption for people buying houses that they reside in full time. This type of policy is incredibly anti-immigrant otherwise.

There’s only one way the valuation can go, down.

They make luxury cars in an economy that seems to be heading for a recession in a political climate full of people who would rather roll coal than buy an ev, and the pro-ev people have been completely alienated by the guy’s politics.

The writing is on the wall, it’s just a matter of time before people see it. Dumpy may give the guy a pile of cash, but odds are that would be through SpaceX or another business, not Tesla.

Paying someone a billion dollars or more at a company should require unanimous shareholder approval. One nay should strike it down. It’s egregious and unnecessary.

A billion dollars can buy you a hundred people at 10 million a piece, that’s gonna get you a shitload of celebrity involvement and endorsement. The value of the shares in this asshole’s pay package is over 100 billion as of early December.
