The primary income of Salvadoran gangs isn't drug trade, it's territory based extortion rackets and robberies. "Just legalize it, maaan" is irrelevant.

I'm not talking about "illegal immigrants", I'm talking about all immigrants who have been permitted to reside in the hypothetical "a Western country". In London, non-natives are somewhere like 35% of the population. Are you under the impression this does not impact housing prices?
In my (European) country, the majority of the people employed by the government in services related to unemployement and payments related to that are women, and the majority of users of those services are immigrants or descendants of immigrants. I think immigrants take up a disproportionate amount of government work hours and talking specifically about those who work in immigration is shortsighted. Again, we're talking about "a Western country", so I'm not too concerned about the specifics of what happens in the US.

Deport enough immigrants to the point it starts impacting housing prices. Fire a bunch of women who have government jobs taking care of immigrants.

This might be what he was talking about.

"but I was friendly with another FTX/Alameda higher-up around 2018, before they moved abroad. At the time they seemed like a remarkably kind, decent, and thoughtful person, and I liked them a lot."
Did Scott fuck Caroline Ellison? She was high up in the organisation, poly, and has a tumblr full of rat adjacent stuff.

Is there a scientific best care regimen for scrapes/wounds? I got an annoying scrape on my knee while drunk last week and I've pretty much left it alone. The scab gets loosened up by showers then tightens up and pulls on the skin near it, and direct pressure on the wound is currently uncomfortable but managable. Is there a literature on what makes scrapes heal faster or not? Is there a point in applying and reapplying a bandaid past the point where it has stopped bleeding?
Is it a relevant fact that step parents are 40 times more likely to sexually molest children than bioparents?
