What many don’t want to acknowledge is that the burden of immigration (illegal or legal) often rests on the shoulders of the poor.
They need to compete for access to schools, clinics, water, electricity, housing etc.
Since I’m in energy, I’ll use load reduction to illustrate.
@iamkoshiek I’ve had a fresh hell unfold the last few weeks. I keep getting those sim messages, advertising a Coca Cola & MTN whatwhat! I thought that feature was only for emergency notifications.

On Friday, 21 November 2025, South African women will silence the nation.
We call on all women and members of the LGBTQI+ community across South Africa to refrain from all paid and unpaid work in workplaces, universities, homes, and communities to demonstrate the economic and social impact of their absence.
Because until South Africa stops burying a woman every 2.5 hours, the G20 cannot speak of growth and progress.
We demand that Gender-Based Violence and Femicide be declared a National Disaster. Not tomorrow. Not at another summit. Now!
Join the G20 Women’s Shutdown. Withdraw Your Power on 21 November. Spread the message across South Africa and beyond. Let’s show the world the power of women. #WomenForChange #WomenShutdown #UnburyTheTruth #G20
Service announcement, every time a genre film says that ON THIS PROJECT they chose a more practical approach, it's this. Every time.

But as I get older I am more interested in people who demonstrate unusual integrity. And if I’ve learned anything, it’s that practicing an unusual level of integrity is rarer and more precious than the ability to make clever observations about hypocrisy - and I used to think those things were more correlated than I now suspect they are.
@Songz_Chiya 🤣 I, with my creative brain can’t even picture a refined gent such as yourself doing this. Should we prompt the G-roc oracle to draw it for us?
@Sleeh_s@HermaineM Thank you. I was going to respectfully ask about this because in a white family he would get in trouble for pointing like that. He hella cute though so he probably gets away with tons. 🥹
