No one seems to understand WHY people immigrate illegally. At least nobody talks about the why of the problem.

Preach! Preach it loud and proud!
You look at Mexico and other countriesâgovernments, then yourself why again.
Itâs not that simple, yet people desire a better life that their country canât even provide.

A major part of the problem are these three-letter associations, DEA, FBI, CIA⊠USA. 
Money talks. Money ruins countries, money causes unrest. Governments donât help either, theyâre set up to fail as well.

Itâs never been a good fit because if you look at most presidents they have some hidden stuff you wouldnât want associated with his legacy.

My theory is that the worldâs population recently hit 8 billion people for the first time in history, and thereâs never been so many people before. Yet the maximum sustainable number is something like 4 or 5 billion, so everyoneâs quality of life is now compromised. So as the quality of life in various countries declines, their populations flee elsewhere.
But that compromises the quality of life in the countries they flee to, especially since pregnancy rates in a lot of those countries, like the US, are unsustainable. Trump has 5 kids that we know about, and Musk has 11! Which brings up another issue: a lot of white supremacists and far right conservatives believe in natalism in the hope of outbreeding their rivals so they can take over the government. Hence another reason they like book banning, brainwashing and keeping their constituents ignorant and uneducated. They hate how the smarter people are, the more likely those people are to become progressive. Trump hates liberal universities. I suspect most ultra-conservatives do.
But all of that is just my own theory⊠¯\_(ïą)_/ÂŻ

Itâs really difficult to make those conclusions accurate with an American mindset.
My father, who moved to the Phillippines, posted this guy:
What Iâm seeing is that we have a slightly artificial scarcity in this nationâin part because we hardly produce a damn thing but services. That and we confuse status with necessity.

Some of the comments were atrocious as shit.
Like they are dismissing this man because he left America to live a better life.
Now with Trump in the White House, I donât blame people for getting the fuck out of here.
People need to wake the hell up, your government doesnât give a shit about you, just what you can do for them!

It's been that way.
This is why, under Biden, they shelved a law that would have protected those who travel out of state, and reinforced the Federal rights to travel through with abortion paraphernaliaâ2 years ago. And thatâs why the law on TikTok was signed early last year, and set to come into play the day before this yearâs inaugurationâwith both political parties signing off on it. It was always planned for it to be the grand stand and burden of whomever won in November, being planned half a year earlier.
And itâs language was that the parent company had to sell for it to be legal here, under the previous administration, so anything Trump says about that ainât new. AP had the article up that TT was going to pull their offline stunt before it happened, addressing Biden, not Trump.
So, yeah, thereâs things that come with this man that upsets people more, but no one is the savior in this.

As a black woman with undiagnosed AuDHD, I want to win the mega millions and live in a semi-lavish apartment. Like I want to be financially stable for the rest of my life. I ainât interested in living in a mansion, just a two bedroom apartment for myself, with things I like to have.
I hate getting paid monthly, SSI is not great to live on even with help to find a place and more. Iâm going to be super honest when I say I cannot see myself getting a part-time job or even a full time job. I say I should get a job, yet the honest truth is that I am not built for sustaining a high mask in social situations like that for hours. I am very high-functioning, I wear a mask EVERY SINGLE DAY. Itâs exhausting as fuck for me to pretend and not be my true self (I genuinely donât know who I am most of the time).
I donât see why I should in the first place. I still want to write novels then publish my novels traditionally, maybe even self-publish as well. I just want to be financially stable while it happens and even afterwards.
I hate struggling financially along with struggling mentally.
It sucks so hard.

So true! But there are real scarcities out there, like nickel, platinum, copper, etc. that I think humans canât produceâonly the Earth can produce those things, but it canât produce them in the amounts that we currently need. Hence, the idiot Donald wants to take over Greenland. He wants to make colonization cool again, and his idiot followers see nothing wrong with that since theyâre living in the dark ages too. Argh. (âŻ^.^áŠ)

Geez being human is exhausting as hell.

Well, theyâre definitely finite on the surface.
Mining that far north would come with permafrost shutdowns, so itâs not really profitable to worry about whatâs in deposits there, personal opinion.

I made a mock-up book cover.
And yes it is not spectacular in the slightest. I donât need it to be.
The point is that I need something for my stories that isnât expensive and very easy to make.
I ainât self-publishing at all yet, just figuring things out for my own sake.

Maybe itâs my computer, but the red lettering is showing up more like orange. But nice! Minimalist is in right now, I think. It definitely has those kingdom vibes. (*-â) äč

Thanks so much. 
I like it too. Itâs very basic for a starter book cover. Anything else would be pricey and take more time.
I did one for Project Succession too!

So, looks like the worldâs AI boffins might skip passed AGI and sprint straight to ASI in 2025 or 2026.
The next few years should be quite a ride.
