Something worth remembering about immigration: it's not a choice between values and pocketbook. You get both. The best evidence is that immigration enriches us all. If you want to convince yourself, imagine the USA didn't ban Chinese immigration in 1882, or immigration more broadly in 1924.

this story is just a great illustration of NIMBY nihilism. at core, these people have no vision for anything. they simply oppose change for the sake of opposition. (i also think there is an element of death denial here — if i can prevent all physical changes i can deny the reality of my mortality)

(Oval Office farewell. Elon is wearing a full-body cast) Trump: Mr. Computer. He’s the best at what he does, and he did it, with the doge. Goodbye. Goodbye forever Elon: If I can say a brief speech. Orb and sphere. Two words, same meaning (stares at ceiling for 12 minutes) It just seems redundant
