which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be

Uh huh. 🙄

As a Canadian, with whom you share the longest undefended border in the world and billions of dollars in cross-border trade, I feel bad for you all.

But I think we might have to build our own wall soon to keep this kind of shit out of Canada.

You’re only going on the numbers in this article tho. There are other instances of trafficking that raise those numbers exponentially.

Inquiry must validate stories of indigenous women prostituted on ships: NWAC

The United States, along with Mexico and the Philippines, was ranked one of the world’s worst places for human trafficking in 2018. In the US, there is no official number of human trafficking victims, but estimates place it in the hundreds of thousands.

Children are more vulnerable than adults. They’re easier to control, cheaper, and less likely to demand working conditions, researchers explained. More than 300,000 young people in the US are considered “at risk” of sexual exploitation.

Biden could legally hire mercs to do the job and never once get called out on it.

While I agree with some of that, you seemed to immediately spin to the one woman who was shit to represent all women in politics.

Do better.

They are flameless smoulders that burn slowly below the surface, and are kept alive thanks to an organic soil called peat moss common in North America’s boreal forest and to thick layers of snow that insulate them from the cold.

Here’s a non-paywall link.

The problem is that other nations don’t have a 2nd Amendment that guarantees the right to bear arms.

I have no idea.

Because he was legally underage to work in the plant. And he may not have had ID in the first place.

Neither do I, but I will still politely decline.

Don’t wanna end up in jail. ;)

Lol. Not even if my life depended on it.

Would he even know what a keystone is?

Not quite all the info here tho, right?

C’mon now. If leftists are gonna be taken seriously we can’t just leave out the stuff that doesn’t back our own confirmation bias.

Do better.

Why?

There are always other ways to get the required info, like asking the tribal leaders what help they and their people wanted and/or needed.

Incorrect.

Police are purposefully obstructing justice by blocking the footage (making) police cams useless.

I referenced ‘the people’ not ‘the leadership’.

The US was forcing/enforcing its own image on a sovereign nation who didn’t need or want that … just like they had so many times before. And it failed spectacularly like it had before.

Maybe next time they’ll ask what help the people want and provide that instead … but if Biden’s demands on the Palestinian Authority are any indication, America hasn’t learned anything from its failures.

But, and hear me out here, I’d like to see every employee (involved in the hiring or management) of ALL the companies involved pay a price for employing children in the first place.

That’s not saying that a UBI shouldn’t be enacted as well. I want both done.

The US spent a very small portion of the $133+ billion dollars on infrastructure (which is not the same as their advertised ‘restructuring’ or ‘reconstruction’).

By some measures, life in Afghanistan has improved markedly since 2001. Infant mortality rates have dropped. The number of children in school has soared. The size of the Afghan economy has nearly quintupled.

but

… those interviewed said Washington foolishly tried to reinvent Afghanistan in its own image by imposing a centralized democracy and a free-market economy on an ancient, tribal society that was unsuited for either.

and

Congress and the White House made matters worse by drenching the destitute country with far more money than it could possibly absorb. The flood crested during Obama’s first term as president, as he escalated the number of U.S. troops in the war zone to 100,000.

It all failed because of

haphazard planning, misguided policies, bureaucratic feuding. Many said the overall nation-building strategy was further undermined by hubris, impatience, ignorance and a belief that money can fix anything. Much of the money, they said, ended up in the pockets of overpriced contractors or corrupt Afghan officials, while U.S.-financed schools, clinics and roads fell into disrepair, if they were built at all.
