You are talking about Arizonans. They don't have a second brain cell to rub against the first. Got scorched out of their brain after their first Arizona June.
But you're right, they just plopped billions of tons of concrete on the flattest surface in the desert.
During the Great Chicago Migration they put in a shit ton of grass and trees, but it was all just decorative and did nothing but take a virtually allergen free region and make it's allergen counts some of the highest in the country.
Cheap expansive flat land that it's easy to build massive factories in.
Also, people were claiming the arrid conditions were ideal for building clean rooms, but with the amount of dust and static electricity in Arizona, I call bullshit.
Free to say whatever you want, but remember, we have AI and militarized police, so be absolutely sure to remember, you are free to say whatever you want, but injury, death, and FBI/CIA/DHS/USCIS/TSA/NSA/etc watchlists exists in troves, and depending on what you say, your life will by absolutely destroyed and you will be left destitute. Until the fascism has fully taken over (on track for 3 years from now). Then good news! We will just kill ya and your suffering will be over! Unless our work camps are understaffed...
October 7th was horrible but also MASSIVELY embellished by outright Israeli propaganda. We still don't really know what happened at that festival.

The only way the meme would be a decent comparison is if instead of King Kong, it was just a normal ass gorilla.
Billionaires are an arms reach away from being trillionaires.
The stock market is lawless and traders are making bank.
And all those miserable annoying normal people are losing their homes, moving into 1300 dollar a month closets, and losing any semblance of luxury to be good little hungry 13 dollar an hour slaves like they should have always been.
It's cool though. It's all about the rich and murdering Palestinian woman and children.
On the issue of Gaza, Biden is dramatically out of touch with the voters he needs to win re-election. If he will not be moved by morality to stop his support of this war, he should be moved by vulgar self-interest. Gaza is not a distant foreign conflict: it is an urgent moral emergency for large swaths of voters. Biden will lose...
What's next? School mandated reporting if a little white girl has a crush on a little black boy? What about if little Timmy refuses to say "under god" during the pledge to your overlords? How about if little Samantha says she doesn't aspire to have 12 kids and do laundry as her adult vocation?
The difference is that 3 of those 4 examples (trans, racial, religious, sexist) are prevented by federal law. And the 4th one should, because conservative idiots want all 4.
