    My Spotify Discover Weekly introduced me to a band called "Bondage Fairies" which I've fallen in love with. They're a small band, Swedish I think, and they're a little bit Blooghound Gang, Billy Talent, with bitchip influences. Really, really digging them.

    The President doesn't have any direct control over the content of the messages. This is entirely a FEMA thing. You have nothing to worry about.

    I feel like showing the number of votes a comment has gotten will lead to people voting something simply because it's gotten many votes and that must mean it's right. You see it happen all the time on Reddit. Someone will say something that sounds correct, and before someone else can come correct them they'll get a bunch of upvotes. Partly because they sounded correct, and partly because "all these upvotes must mean this is true".

    I don't really see any benefit to showing votes on comments.

    The idea is that it disallows or discourages people looking to come to the USA to get handouts, or at the least coming to the USA and just not contributing to society. There's already systems in place to help citizens that fall on hard times (although they're not great and need to be improved).

    So you think people should be able to immigrate to the USA and then go on public assistance? Many European countries don't allow people to become citizens unless they earn above a certain amount...

    So you think people should be able to immigrate to the USA and then go on public assistance? Many European countries don't allow people to become citizens unless they earn above a certain amount or will be able to create jobs. This is simply stopping people from going to the USA and not contributing.
