The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Wealthier white Anglo immigrants tend to receive general dissatisfaction over rising housing prices and limited availability of housing,

I saw a good laffer in a town hall where JD Vance was responding to questions. Recall, the xenophobic right insists all these illegals come to the US just to suck up government services, not to work and pay taxes.

So, a question to Vance: the GOP tells everyone to get married early and squirt out a lot of children, but a house to hold the brood is unaffordable to so many people.

Vance blamed the housing shortage, in part, on illegal immigrants.

OK, puzzle me this: the GOP says immigrants come here to burden the US, but, supposedly, those same people have the means to buy a house?

btw, the Beeb has been reporting on demonstrations in Portugal about housing being unaffordable.
