It's not really dodging a conversation when you enter it being critical of the rhetoric, and not the content. I don't think anyone is fooled but I think you are confused.

? I entered the conversation pointing out a rude style of communication. You're just continuing it lol. Talking about communication is substantial.

I wasn't arguing with pugjesus, just in contention with their disingenuous communication. PugJesus did not disprove any claims I made. I think you're not following the conversation.

You don't have any evidence one way or the other that everyone understood the counter argument immediately, what he brought up was a relatively obscure historical event and if you disagree with that assertion, I can't even begin to take you seriously.

This is literally the first time you have said you use maps, so yes, you are a liar? Literally?

It's not a discussion because you're not bringing anything to the discussion lmao

Very weird that I am so old and have literally never heard this mentioned in a TV show or book or movie or anything.

In four out of five states, if you go to prison, you are literally paying for the time you spend there.

As you can guess, this results in crippling debt as soon as you're released.

The county gets back a fraction of what they hold over your head the rest of your life until you commit suicide(or die naturally and peacefully with the sword of damocles hanging over your head).

$20-$80 a day according to Rutgers.

Counties apparently sue people and employ wage garnishment to get back the money that majority of people obviously cannot pay back.

Hawaii is "on the verge of catastrophe," locals say, as water crisis continues (www.cbsnews.com)

In Hawaii, one of the most important sayings is ola i ka wai, "water is life" — a phrase that not only sums up what it means to exist on an island, but what it means to live, period. But now, one of the largest of the island chain's land masses is facing a triple threat to its sole freshwater source, and if it isn't addressed soon, one community member says, "we're in deep trouble."

Despite being surrounded by seemingly endless ocean, freshwater on Oahu, the third-largest of Hawaii's six major islands, is not easily accessible. The island relies on an underground aquifer for its water supply. Replenishing that aquifer is a decades-long natural process, as it takes a single drop of water roughly 25 years to make it there from the sky.

And recent years have seen compounding problems: less rain, leading to significant droughts, and repeated jet fuel leaks and PFAS chemical spills contaminating water systems. All of this significantly limits available water use for locals, many of whom say tourism is only worsening the situation. Just months ago, the world's largest surfing wave pool opened up on the island — filled with freshwater.
