Just like all the other Americans, right? (meme reference)

(but more seriously) The migrants are not used to that environment, and especially may fall into such traps more than people who know the area.

I wonder how many are the migrants bussed there from Texas.

Edit: the article mentions that it is at least partly due to climate change as well.

I know in some places, like Texas, they seem to presume that you have a tall truck. Anyone with even a normal-height vehicle is thereby put at a severe disadvantage, especially when you try to see past the tall truck that has pulled way far FORWARD past the line, just to stop at a red light.

i.e., it is for measuring the size of one's dick, even (especially?) for women drivers. Learn to swing it proud, or else never get anywhere in those places!

I heard that your mother is smaller than Egypt!

Why... why is the world like this?

If someone told you to just use Windows on your computer, b/c it will take care of you, would you listen?

There is some truth to both statements, but in any capitalist society it behooves one to be aware, since many people and especially corporations will try to take advantage of ignorance.

In both suburban(+rural?) and city areas, I hear a lot more of people racing their cars and honking lately. I suppose it is how they deal with their stress, by ignoring the needs of others as they think only of themselves.

Even if the former stuff is not the actual and literal cause of sleeplessness, I do find it highly emblematic/symbolic. People get theirs and everyone else can deal with it as best they can, or not, whatevs.

I dunno - won't our hatred of him be timeless? :-P
