It wouldn't work if every family had 6 kids. However, the problem is that, if it weren't for immigration, which Conservatives are pushing against, the US population would rapidly get older and smaller. So, if someone has 6 kids, that helps balance out everybody with none.

When Trump said immigrants were 'taking Black jobs', some people were puzzled at what he meant by 'Black jobs'. Apparently, picking crops is one of those jobs in Trump's mind. I hate to think what some of the other ones are.

If a Saturn had exploded, it would've been equivalent to a small nuclear bomb. There would've been more than 3 astronauts dead. I agree earlier rockets exploded, and that part of the learning process. I shouldn't be shrugged off 60+ years later as 'learning'.

There's plenty of blame to go around. But remember, Hitler didn't personally drag anyone to a camp. Similarly, Trump won't show up and arrest protestors. ICE will, because they won't risk their paychecks, and, they enjoy power without legal constraints.

Trump wanted Greenland during his 1st term, and offered to trade Puerto Rico for it--more proof that he's an idiot. Denmark should've gone for it. Puerto Rico is way more valuable than Greenland, and the people of Puerto Rico would be glad to escape Trump. Too bad for the Greenlanders, though.
