Ah, that’s unfortunate. If you say you’re happy in your SUV then showing you places to live that aren’t your SUV isn’t very helpful. Having a discussion about whether you’re aware of and prepared for any risks associated with living in an SUV could be productive - either you’d learn something from social worker’s knowledge of many people living in vehicles or the social worker could be reassured that you’re not in a terrible situation.

Do be careful out there! I hope you’ve got enough cash in the bank or enough credit to recover if someone messes with your SUV.

Depends on the country and jurisdiction

Out of curiosity, what were her arguments?

If you have enough resources to weather any (literal or metaphorical) storms, then you might be OK but that is not the typical situation.

From a spy craft and capabilities standpoint it’s an amazing attack. I’m skeptical that using the devices as bombs is more useful than using them for spying, but who knows? It is super fucked up that random people who happen to be near the targets could be hurt. But between that and the stuxnet attack, it’s safe to say that Israel is capable of crazy sophisticated attacks.

Thanks. I honestly haven’t been following it all closely. (I guess that’s obvious from my last comment). But why blow up a bunch of people in Lebanon?

So if I understand correctly, Israel managed to get a bunch of people in Hezbollah to use pagers and walkie talkies that contained bombs. But they have not been able to gather enough intelligence from control of those communication devices to find and rescue the remaining hostages? And if they weren’t able to catch useful information from those devices, why did the people holding those devices deserve to get blown up?

Yeah, was using “fried chicken” as an example just a coincidence? In theory, it could be just a random food that came to mind but given that Harris is Black and Indian, it’s seems super likely that there have been racist comments/memes/etc. about curry and fried chicken getting served at the White House that put these top of mind for Vance. IDK if it was deliberate dog whistling or the unintentional result of Vance steeping in blatant racism.
