fun fact: the reason there was a special election, which cost the state millions of dollars and which greg won, is because after he was elected in 2016, noted scumbag ryan zinke immediately quit to go be secretary of the interior for donny

trailers are often really nice, shame they have the rep they do

would rather just live in a large building with others though

my stepfathers friend has lived in a trailer forever. he was in vietnam and got all kinds of medical issues from being exposed to agent orange. he sued the government and won, and was awarded a decent sum of cash. since he's already retired and didn't want to move, he just dumped all the money into his trailer, so now it's a really nice place.

there’s also a bunch of different things that fall under the “mobile home” umbrella which goes all the way up to a half million dollar class a motor home so it can be very confusing.

I'll admit my trailer-hate may be misplaced. It's a sore spot for me because a ton of the people I know/knew who live in substandard housing happen to have had wheels on it but now that I think of it a lot of the poo poo was the same sort of poo poo that happens to any other building when you either can't afford to maintain it or neglect maintenance for other reasons. Like "getting old while your manufactured home falls apart around you" is something I've seen happen a lot but the word "manufactured" there is not pulling a lot of weight. I'm sure any house that's had lights that flicker at random for a quarter century is a fire waiting to happen.

i mean they're terrible structures but so are new construction houses.

you can post studs-and-wiring pics of a modern manufactured mobile home and a modern $427,000 2/1 in a Good Schools Neighborhood, and if you crop out the foundation and other tells, they look exactly the same.

canadian children should be told the truth: we are one of the world's most advanced nations in the nuclear energy sector with one of the safest and easily fueled heavy water reactor systems designed and built in canada and sold internationally, using low-enrichment fuels that don't need to be export-controlled out of concern of nuclear weapons proliferation, and that alberta is a poo poo and dying province

A Florida state employee tried to record the numbers accurately and Ron had her fired and arrested and made sure she caught covid while in jail

I'm also positive that those covid numbers are the raw figures, not corrected per capita, because "California and New York have more covid cases than any of the red states!!" seems to be a major chud talking point and that's about the level their brain operates at

california and florida have actually had pretty similar per capita cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, at least as recently as a month or so ago. i dont know how useful direct state v state comparisons actually are with this stuff tho

they’re still pretty close but that’s with florida cooking the books as hard as they can. also there’s about as many people in the la metro area as in all of florida

The New York COVID-19 nursing home scandal is an American political scandal that began in 2021. In January 2021, Attorney General of New York Letitia James released a report finding that Governor Andrew Cuomo had understated the toll of COVID-19-related deaths in state nursing homes by as much as 50 percent.[1]

the thing in new york was that they were not reporting people who got sick in nursing homes but then died in a hospital as nursing home related deaths. the total numbers were correct, but any policy around nursing homes was supported by bad data. plus the excuse for not reporting the numbers correctly was litterrally "we didnt want trump to make fun of us for doing bad"

yeah, this pretty much. florida (and other chud states) have been cooking the books in much more nefarious ways, such as "your death only counts if you were an actual permanent resident of florida"
