Gender imbalance in the Mormon community, you say? If only there were a solution consistent with the life of the Founder... :thunk:

The more 'traditional' mormon communities are a lot more pro-active in exiling boys that threaten the elders' harem selection.

Even the story is odd...

WASHINGTON — A man is dead after a port-a-potty caught fire in Baltimore, Maryland, Sunday afternoon, fire officials say.

Units from the Baltimore City Fire Department were dispatched to the 1100 block of Russell Street, right next to M&T Bank Stadium, where a man on fire was seen coming from a port-a-potty.

When fire officials arrived on the scene, three port-a-potties were engulfed in flames. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Was the man on fire rushing through each potty setting it on fire or was the fire in the porta pottys which then reached the man?

I like Fox News headline about it today better: Baltimore man burns to death after exiting port potty near M&T Bank stadium. Just makes it sound like he should’ve known better than to exit a porta potty near M&T Bank.

Is that real though? It's drummed up here in Australia as a yellow peril thing but it turns out it's a very small percentage of property that goes to foreign nationals and is actually just rich locals buying it all up and using it as an excuse to get away with making housing even harder to get.

I can't speak for Vacouver, but it was a thing several years ago. The Chinese government limits how much liquid cash you can take out of China in a year, but you could get around that by buying property and other stuff.

Plus, it was seen as the "cool and hip" thing among the upper classes to have property.

California has had a growing problem with foreign purchases of property driving up real estate costs. There's no laws against non-citizens owning real estate, so housing prices have shot through the roof.

the only reason it isn't a problem now is because they ran out of property to buy, they own pretty much the whole place

few people in that part of canada give a poo poo about living around chinese people. there have been chinese people there for decades and the people who gave a poo poo about that moved ages ago. the problem comes when you go to rent a place and 80% of the buildings will only take chinese tenants, and you can't buy a house because the prices have become completely impossible for anyone that isn't a chinese property investment company, which is who owns all of them now.

it's not a problem of foreign people buying up poo poo. it's a problem of rich people, some foreign, buying up poo poo. china's confluence of ccp restrictions and a lot of party-adjacent grifters looking to cash out means a lot of them are chinese, which unfortunately makes it easy to redirect anger at the ethnic group instead of the economic group

Very much so. The 'other' buying all the property is just a scapegoat. The rich are to blame and not a specific colour of rich.
