I’ve never seen so many people wearing $900 jackets while checking if their debit card will go through for a $19 salad until I moved to Toronto. This city is a psychology experiment.
This is a fair question, and I’ll attempt to answer it.
The all-seeing, all-knowing God calls us to prayer, but not simply so we can beg Him for answers to problems He already knows we have. The answer is a little nuanced.

If the JJ Rawlings solution worked, you think we'd be here? 19yrs, 11 of which he had no legitimate opposition and nothing changed. Shun glamoring failure.
Catching most of the hogs is worse than catching none of them. Sounds backwards, but it's the reason this guy sat on his hands for five days straight.
Wild hogs learn from one bad moment. A hog that watches a gate slam shut on its family will basically never walk into a trap again, for the rest of its life. Trappers have a name for these animals. Educated hogs.
So picture the amateur version. You've got 20 hogs tearing up your land, you trigger the gate early and catch 15. Feels like a win. Except those 5 survivors just got a free lesson, and they breed fast. Sows are ready to reproduce at six months old and throw two litters a year. Within about a year you're back to a full herd, only now every animal in it knows what a trap looks like.
You turned a hog problem into an unsolvable hog problem.
The numbers are why this matters so much. Biologists estimate you have to remove 60 to 70% of a local hog population every single year just to keep it from growing. Hunting them gets you maybe 25%. The only approach that actually works is called whole sounder removal. Bait a big corral, wire the gate open, and let the whole family group get comfortable eating inside for days while cameras count heads. The moment the last one walks in, you drop the gate remotely on all of them at once.
The gate took one second. The five days of doing nothing was the skill.
🚨 Broadcaster on Messi:
🎙️"There are players who end up retiring when the game retires them. He will retire when he is ready. That’s the difference"
He cooked with that line 🔥😂
Yes I remember, I contacted you to say I appreciated your support, you then tried to get me on your tv show to talk about it, so my appreciation waned a bit as I knew it wasn’t as sincere as I first thought. It was all about an interview, as is your possessive fawning over Ronaldo & Trump.
I also wouldn’t be getting personal with your history or the other two you’re defending, now that would be defending the indefensible.
The contrast between what is happening to CR7 and what is happening for Lionel Messi in his farewell game for Argentina tonight is a very well deserved end to a debate that should never have existed in the first place.
Good riddance to rubbish.
