We don't have the RV thing where I am. The people in the video are talking like this is commonplace in Portland. Is this mobile drug manufacturing? Mobile prostitution? Do they move the RVs often to avoid police? Are they stealing the RVs or is there some black market?

It just seems organized. Thanks ahead for any insight.

It is Marching Season in Northern Ireland, when Protestants hold parades, marches and bonfires celebrating a Protestant victory over Catholics in 1690. The season runs from Easter to September, but the peak is in July.

This effigy is definitely a product of ultra right-wing talking points and mounting tension from anti-immigrant sentiment. It's not a healthy expression of a valid concern. There are mannequins depicting human beings at the top of the pyre. Under it is a sign that tells you exactly the group they want to harm. Further, a sign that says "veterans before immigrants" sets up a false dichotomy that pits two unrelated groups against each other. It has all the tropes of this type of propaganda.

The designers and builders of the pyre should not be celebrated and should face some legal backlash.

This is an astute answer. Bravo.

It doesn't look like supply, so it has to be something else besides copper, right? Bad lighting? A paint job?

Avalon on the island of Catalina. It's the one and only town on the island and there isn't really anywhere else to go. People use golf carts to get around. There are no gas stations on the island, so if you do have a car, you have to import your own fuel or use the marina.

Miniscule car infrastructure + laws limiting the number of cars on the island = no car culture. Bam.
