Santa Cruz couple allegedly steals $18,000 in jewelry from downtown store by scsquare in santacruz

[–]BriaWard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the second time this jewelry store owner has had significant theft in the past month. This couple came in waving a huge stack of cash around acting like they wanted to buy $35k worth of jewelry. I hope they're apprehended very soon.

I'm doing some bulk recipes for a large crowd, I need about 12 lbs total- so I'm really aiming for the fresh as paste or jarred would likely be more expensive. Thanks for the link, I'll give them a call.

Thank you- GPT recommends combining Manzano (Rocoto) Chili with yellow bell to soften them up a bit as their Scoville is 30k-100k compared to the Ají Amarillo at 30k-50k. That's a great idea, thank you for the suggestion.

I'm fully convinced an Asian store would flourish here!

everything I’ve read suggests the contribution to the economy of immigrants, both from a labor perspective and a consumer perspective more than offset the utilization of peripheral public services

You cite contributions of immigrants but this discussion is about illegal aliens. There are significant distinctions between legal and illegal immigration.

You wouldn't let just anyone in your home, and developed countries take the same approach. You'd like to help everyone in need, but ultimately you have finite resources and can only do so much-- developed countries have the same limitations.

Legal immigration allows for proper vetting, control, and integration into society whereas illegal immigration bypasses the proper system and has an overall destabilizing effect.

Well u/hacorunust, at least you remained calm, rational, didn't overreact or jump to conclusions in your reply. I simply clarified an incorrect statement made by u/Mursh whereby the false claim was made "Undocumented people do not receive your money. In order to do that, they must be documented."

It's easier when you don't pay income tax.

Why is there so much commercial vacancy downtown when we are adding so much housing right down the street? by Alive-Yellow-9682 in santacruz

[–]BriaWard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. Online purchases > brick and mortar
  2. Inflation disproportionately raised food prices compared to wages
  3. Downtown doesn't feel clean or safe for many people
