    I stop at the convenience store near my house almost every morning before work. Everyday it’s lined with Mexican migrants. Landscapers, construction workers etc.

    I pondered the other day whether they’re here legally or not. Then it dawns on me, who cares. These are hard workers, trying to provide a good life for their families, all that I come across are respectful and obviously happy for the life the U.S. can give them.

    Too many people say they’re “taking are jerbs!” No. Many fucking ignorant American raised Caucasian’s are too busy sucking on government tit to go out and put a 14 hour day in landscaping.

    These immigrants stimulate our economy. I do believe we should have better immigration reform. But to round them up is such a stupid waste of government resources. I agree they should round up the ones who have committed awful crimes. Which is I’m guessing a minuscule amount of them.

    Yeah. I was thinking something along the same lines.

    These people are contributing more and contributing more positively to our society than the bigots.

    Unless they are abusing someone, I don't care who someone loves or where they came from. They buy what I sell, they pay into SS, Medicare and taxes, and, when left alone to be who they want to be, they're happy, and people that are content in their lives are less likely to commit crime.

    Statistically, people in these groups are less likely to deliberately harm someone else than, say, my white, Anglo-Saxon neighbor from the traditional nuclear family, who, if I was living my life based on the actual numbers, I'd be more mindful about assaulting my daughter or sister.

    Girls and women are most likely, by a wide margin, to be sexually assaulted by a man in their immediate circle -- often their dad or uncle or dad's friend or boyfriend or guy from school -- but people like Beast are telling me I should be losing it because someone who once was a male and now is a female is using the women's restroom. And I'm thinking, where are the priorities here, and what are people like Beast doing about the bigger threats if they're so worried about women's safety.

    I guess it boils down to this:

    I'm waiting for the day when the bigots and haters become the "they" and "them" we refuse to accept into our society.

    Why? Why not just private bathrooms for everyone? Why does the room care about the identity of the person using it?

    Very impractical in many places. Can you imagine if the Moda had private bathrooms for everyone?

    Yeah, you'd have more toilets and no urinals and a hallway with sinks and mirrors on one side and a bunch of doors (with toilets behind the ) on the other.

    It works great in the schools I've seen do it, even during large events.

    each stall doesn’t have to be a full bathroom. You could have a massive row of sinks open to all, with full stalls behind them. Give the sink hallway wide always open entry and exit for visibility, perhaps with an arena worker at each for safety, and make the stall doors floor to ceiling for privacy. Making the whole kit and kaboodle gender neutral means the lines would be balanced between restroom areas. Some will bristle at the idea of sharing any space at all with members of the opposite sex but it would definitely not be less efficient.

    Yeah, how many Caucasian faces do you ever see in those work round ups? None. If white people took the jobs the Hispanics were taking there would be NO immigration problem because there would be no jobs for them. Like that's gonna happen.........Karma is very real and it is coming for anyone who was stupid enough to vote for the grifter. The rest of us are just collateral damage.......

    Are you talking private stalls or bathrooms? If there could be enough private bathrooms, fine. I'm not for private stalls in same room for everyone though.

    Private rooms with a toilet. The sinks and mirrors would be out in the hallway.

    Trump appointed judge overturned Biden era overtime rules. Millions of American workers will no longer qualify for overtime pay.

    I hope you don’t have offspring to pass down your stupidity and hate.

    When they remodeled our neighborhood high school Grant, all the bathrooms are gender neutral. There aren’t doors into the bathroom itself. Just separate stalls. It’s very cool and well planned. Positive feedback all around.

    Isn't it embarrassing for the students to use stalls with transparent walls?

    Yep, I've been there several times. It's laid out incredibly well and works fantastically.
