I used to like going to the lake theater on weekdays I had off. Usually pretty empty, can get a nice burger and a beer and see a movie.
I stopped going because I'd almost get run over by rich, blonde women, driving large luxury SUVs while texting their real housewives of lake Oswego chat every single time. Haven't been down that way in a decade and don't miss it.
Nah books and audiobooks are not the same. Yes the content is the same but the processing of that information is way different. Personally I can't listen to an audiobook and retain any information. Where as if I read the same book I would have no problem recalling the information.
Podcasts don't seem to have that issue for me. I can retain that information when listening, I think because it was intended to be consumed in that medium from the start.
Plus that graph is pretty much the same when Trump supporters talk about him securing our borders from illegal immigrants. Pretty much every country restricted border crossings at the start of Covid so yeah it was way harder for people to move around.
The Biden administration didn't increase the amount of illegal immigration, it just returned to the line it had been on before Covid.
I think it's also the unwillingness of the left to accept "baby steps" towards a goal. The right is perfectly happy to inch towards their endgame and it's working.
It's 1993
