I'll ignore the second bit because it's no really related, and debating immigration levels, types, sourcing, are all things that can be discussed reasonably, and some are solutions to those problems with thoughtful governance. But we can't really discuss that when the reason behind it is "I want what is comfortable to me and my personal situation at the exclusion of others also having that."

May I respectfully request that you take your childish bickering to a thread that is designed for it. Maybe a lefty vs righty kind of thing.

I would rather see more updates, if anyone has any, or actualy discussion of, Iran.

My family is currently safe, a number of bombs have fallen very close to their homes. However it has been more than a day and a half since our last contact.

They had a brief moment of hope when the SL, as they see it, faced his reckoning. They are hopeful that the war will cause real change but fear the cost. When I speak to them they understand that there will be cost, but letting the regime stand has an incredible cost as well. Cost here only referring to human life.

Untenable situation for them. All I do is send them positivity and support. I am not there, I am doing my best to doubt all media. So I listen and offer support, without opinion.

Fair enough, wrong thread.

"Cultural Problems".

That's racist AF. You're literally saying people of other "cultures" are problematic. You need to check yourself. Just because "White Anglo Culture" is so dominant around the world, it doesn't make it better than other cultures.

All the best to you and your family. Incredibly scary situation there, I can’t imagine what it would be like to be living there.
