Moderation rules are more lenient for this section, but try and play nicely.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist language, homophobic language, racist language, anti-muslim hate, transphobic language, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.

The 10 lots on Haukore Street are owned by the state housing agency and despite being fenced off, have become a dumping ground and are overgrown with weeds.
Most of the lots were cleared of the 1960s houses in preparation for the planned build of 21 new homes, but it has been two years since some of the homes were vacated and fenced off.
Trouble is the machinery has got rusted from lack of use. And the MPs are arthritic poor old things, they have to joust with opponents before anything can be built and they have to crawl to someone to achieve anything.
It must be pathetic watching them painfully inch their way across the floor.
What the hell is happening to American society? These are the times we are living in. America used to be on the forefront of the Advancing Modern World, but now we are devolving into a nation of anti-intellectual, anti-science conspiracy theorists. We are losing any hope for a brilliant future. If the QAnon crazies take over Congress, it’s all over.
