The fact that government *should* work a certain way doesn't mean that it will... and a lot of (even center-left) arguments are based upon, what I believe to be, a naive assumption that government is analogous to some non-profit organization.

I think we're finding out that, in fact, not only will government *not* work in the ways one would expect, it is in fact working to the exact opposite effect.

Oh boy...

@Broo TulsiGang 2024 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 that’s about when the Babylonians raped kingdom of Judea and destroyed Jerusalem and the first temple

I've heard where I used to live called Babylon 😄

Then Persians let jews back to Israel and helped us rebuild the temple and Jerusalem

Juncker broke the rules to promote his underling... and there's no mechanism in place to remove him unless he volunteers to resign - that's how fucked up the EU Commission is.

it working as intended

Who cares, we are out

France and Italy are on there way out

in their own ways

France is braking apart and Italy is playing https://youtu.be/30cKwNm9ThQ to the eu commission while going out the door

Lmao

Would be wise for him

A wall = more tunnels = more money

hard to get tunnels when your money is used to build the wall

Dude this guy owns a chunk of Mexico... he got dat cash

so the land he owns is not a part of Mexico then

@nutsnax tbh non profits in many cases are just as bad if not worse.

The wall goes underground a few feet as well. And the whole "tunnel" arguement is meh. Tunnels are extreme high risk, and to be done quickly need quite a bit of labor. Since the program also inclused high tech surveillance and more officers its a mute point.

you have sensors that can detect ground movement from a mole, so I don't think a tunnel is going to stay hidden for long, and most drugs and people are moved on the ground anyway. a big component of the wall is to stop the people that is going back and forward like the pedo child smugglers

Commies will never rest...

The tunnels el Chapo builds aren't a few feet deep, they're several metres deep. So deep that sensors cannot detect them and nobody knows how many there really are

I'm sure fire people for supporting Brexit will not end up in a unlawful termination lawsuit

Just slowing people down is huge. Many get away just because we can't get to them fast enough.

Authorities keep finding new ones each one better than the other, and they are fully aware that it's just the tip of the iceberg

Many of these tunnels have extremely sophisticated support structures, lighting and ventilation and count with tracks to carry goods fast and in bulk
