Reminds me of Margaret Thatcher in The Crown insusting that her regressive economic policies was medicine and that the interim pain was temporary.

There's a movement in the American churches where members are told to fill their quiver, AKA have a lot of kids. I wouldn't be surprised if an order like this came from the christian nationalists with project 2025. They are wanting to build up their own communities and spurn the areas that they aren't populating.
Edit: those kind of people also say that allowing donations to churches to be tax deductible is god's way of rewarding them for tithing. They want the government to reward them for their beliefs.
Yeah, they're great, I hadn't seen or heard about those before going to that Alamo. A hallway of stalls is a better phrase for describing it than I used. I did like that the alamo drafthouse had a room for urinals, so you don't end up with pee all over every street from missed aiming.
They could add a little dispenser of cleaner to the stalls, like they have at bucees. It's like a soap dispenser at the sink. You squirt it on some toilet paper and can use it to make sure the seat is clean before you sit down.
I went to an Alamo Drafthouse once with an interesting bathroom set up.
When you walk up to the restroom, there's a large bay of sinks. To the left is a door that leads to a room of urinals and to the right is a hallway of stalls. Everyone just goes where they need to and since the sinks are out in the open where everyone sees and passes by, there's more social pressure to wash your hands.

If you really want your mind blown, TX police are still trained on the sodomy law (even though they can't enforce it) and there are still sodomy laws on the books in I believe 12 other states, according to a New York Times article I saw. If Lawrence v TX is overturned, as Thomas has insinuated it could be, the sodomy laws could immediately be enforced again.
When Lawrence v TX was decided, it overturned the sodomy laws in the states of Idaho, Utah, TX, Oklahoma, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Michigan, and also Puerto Rico.
Since that ruling, the only states that have repealed the ban on sodomy are Alabama, Missouri, and Puerto Rico. People in the other states will be in danger should Lawrence be overturned.

That came about partly because homosexuality in the US was legalized on June 26, 2003. Without the fear of raids, people started talking more openly about sexuality and the tide was turning slowly more positive that movies and TV shows that joined the conversation weren't immediately shut down.
Reminds me of the song written by AI "I Glued My Balls to My Butthole Again".
In my school, one student was pronounced dead at the scene, one was taken by ambulance, and another was airlifted.
Every day, we would hear a car crash and heartbeat come up on the announcement system and then a grim reaper would walk into a classroom and tap a student on the should who "died" from drunk driving. They were taken to another room, where they put on makeup and a tombstone was placed for them in front of the school. At the end of the day, all the "dead" students would stand behind their tombstone. The "dead" would still attend class, but say nothing.
At the end of the week, there was a big presentation, where some people who survived a drunk driving accident spoke about their experience and statistics. He had suffered third-degree burns across his body and took off his shirt and walked around the auditorium, so that we could see the aftermath.
Fatal Choices was intense
Especially since the CDC and NIH can't make public announcements currently unless there is a health emergency, which of course is up for review. Even if the pause is short, there could still be updates to the avian flu or other diseases that they can tell us about and the review process they are implementing could greatly hamper their ability to defend against future pandemics.
Edit: evidently it's not just a communication freeze for the NIH (National Institutes of Health)
Check out this website. They combed through and found a lot of passages about the antichrist. This is where I got the info for the above comment.
Don't worry, Republicans already have that as a goal in their Project 2025. They said the NWS should only gather data and all forecasting should be commercialized. Also that no data support ant side of the "climate debate". It'll get here soon enough, once musk companies are protected from safety investigations.
