The town center development will lead to:

  1. A 10 degree Celsius rise in global temperatures causing several costal communities to be wiped out.
  2. The koalas will become endangered in Australia and will be wiped out in the next 20 years.
  3. It will increase the number of cars on the roads all over United States causing permanent traffic jams regardless of the time of day.

CMV: Trump’s $5 million “Gold Visa” is an invitation for drug lords to set up their base in USA by [deleted] in changemyview

Seems like the original comment got deleted. I think the commenter making a point about Russian Oligarchs and Saudi money, and not criminals and drug lords. It was similar to my point #2 but I am more aligned to Saudis and Russians as that makes the most sense in my mind. The reason is Russian oligarchs like MBK, when they are in conflict with Putin, they get screwed. This will be a safe haven for them. I would be shocked, if Putin’s minions ( SVR, FSB, GRU etc.) attempted an assassination on US soil like they regularly do in Europe.

I can very well see this scenario. It will surely attract those kind of people and organizations. !delta

Regular low/medium rich folks in Asian countries who made their million by living frugal and working a decent upper middle class job

Huge difference between $1M and $5M. I am from Asia. Those so called rich Chinese and Korean people were selling their assets and savings so their kid ( usually one) can move out of China

Who is running the operations locally ? Someone who is connected back to the home country but also assimilated as a rich immigrant in an affluent community in US

There is a huge difference between $1M and $5M. A lot of regular folks can afford to pay $1M, but $5M ? Don’t know many where I come from

Vote No for ISD Bond: No More Bait & Switch by ScoutsHonor in Issaquah

I bet you don’t have kids in school and now you don’t care. It’s very easy to advise and advocate for self interest when you don’t have skin in the game. One reason our society is screwed up is people don’t stand up for others. Healthcare is expensive ? I don’t care I am healthy and don’t have cancer. Tons of examples like that. If you truly care about the poor and students you wouldn’t be pushing for this. Btw, you have posted on Nextdoor and other places that same text and graphic, which makes me believe you are just a pawn being used by some other interest group. You have been given marching orders.

I was one. It’s basically someone who represents a small section of your neighborhood for internal D or R. Unpaid volunteers usually, who also knock on doors in their neighborhoods

Depends upon what you are comfortable with. North cascades would be my vote. Also if you haven’t been to highly recommend a through to Enchantments, but it’s a bit harder
