I realize I have a Black Sabbath addiction problem but since I've been listening to them a shitload again recently, a line from War Pigs immediately sprung to mind whether he refers to war or not:

 

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role for the poor

 

For the peasant class, there are more important things than living according to the rich, sure.

According to the article, it does only apply to spouses of illegal immigrants.

 

But like you said, they are still withholding help to American citizens.


How can someone be married to an illegal immigrant? Don’t you get a green card almost immediately via marriage? (I honestly have no idea but thought this was the process)

No, you still need to apply for it and it’s typically a 14-20 month process (my wife got hers after 14 months). Marriage based only means that there are no annual limits to that specific category, so you don’t have to wait years (or a decade or two) to get it.

it hasn’t worked that way in quite a bit. Being married to a US citizen is no longer a guarantee of getting citizenship. The policy has lived longer in movies and tv shows than it has in reality.

Or Slipknot the other favorite metal band of yours:

 

Feed the hungry

Feed them shit

Feed them bones and politics!

You wanna revolutionize?
Be specific and believe your eyes!
Start a war in another backyard
And we'll destroy your house of cards!
Give me a minute and I'll change your mind
Give me a bullet and I'll change your life

I think it’s TV and movie magic, much the same way you have a right to one phone call from jail.

I know it's just 'capitalism gonna capitalism' but it's been really grossing me out how transparently commercials, and marketing in general, are exploiting this whole thing. I've been listening to Spotify a lot for the first time since I'm working from home and I'm usually never exposed to commercials this frequently. It's creepy.

 

Hey, Las Vegas will be here for us when this is all over!

I knew that in regards to citizenship. I stated “green card” :p 

Looks like a green card via marriage to a US citizen takes 10-13 months

So apparently it's not just being married to an an illegal immigrant that disqualifies you. It's being married to anyone without an SSN/ITIN. So for example if you're living abroad and are married to a foreigner who's never set foot in the US.

How do they file their taxes then? If you want to file as “Married”, you need to provide your spouse’s SSN/ITIN, otherwise they would be filing as “Single”

Married filing separately is an option.

Looks like Trump's favourite drug might actually result in worse outcomes than using standard care:

Useless article.

So not a 100% success rate? 
 

Well who saw that coming?

What did we have to lose? Other than time, money, the lives of some desperate people, and the health of people who use the drug  for its intended purposes? It might have worked!
