I always feel like these induced demand arguments are suggesting that adding more lanes means the same number of people are just choosing to do more driving. Maybe, as you add more lanes you create the infrastructure for a city to grow, and it adds more people which then fill up the new lanes. People aren't just going out and buying a new car or rolling an existing car out of the driveway that they were previously not using because a new lane is built. These are net new drivers, who would not be in that city if the infrastructure for them hadn't been built.
Republicans? Hamas. Democrats? Hamas. Basically anyone who disagrees with us at any specific moment regardless of their previous or potential future positions, Hamas. We have the best justifications in the world because of Hamas.
Isn't this kind of a garbage comparison? Your chance of dying by childbirth is zero if you choose not to have kids, or if you biologically can't have kids. Same with almost everything on this list, other than the only other medical intervention of GA (which you may not have a choice to avoid if you need it for a medically necessary procedure). Wouldn't it be better to compare it to the risk dying of COVID? Or the risk of dying from other common vaccines?

Surprise twist, Yellowstone suddenly blows up before any of these scenarios play out. The few remaining bacteria take back the properties. With no more scentient life present, "grimness" ceases to be a concept and there is no reflection on the present situation, the past, or potential futures. The outcome simply is.
So, is the message that, in reality, the woman is fully in the trash (and likely dismembered), instead of portrayed as happy at being treated like trash and smiling to helps us maintain the fiction that it is being done without violence?

Where will the locals go? They have networks of support, professional networks, etc. those are hard to replicate elsewhere?
How will they afford to leave and establish themselves? This is very hard to do when you already live close to poverty.
What's to stop the rich folk from bringing in cheap "temporary foreign labour" that is housed in the same conditions? Dishes still get washed, it's just the poor locals and the exploited TFWs that lose out.
