True. Which still leads to an infestation.
On non-logarithmic scale:
And don’t forget that shown is just the last couple of thousand of years - there are 4 more millions of years prior to this of slow growth (and some collapses) but it wouldn’t even register on such a chart.
Ugh, I guess this is far off topic.
My sounding port is DC 24V compatible, just hook me up, I have still decades of battery life to offer!
they get paid absolute dick
Maybe op just values (absolute) dick way higher than you do!

(So only the bottom 10% get paid about the national median income, 90% are above that. That’s about how much one would pay a "public-"private militia to get. But it’s not even a new organisation, so ofc they are paid OK-ish. And their funding just exploded like an infected haemorrhoid.)
Well, yes, but this is a necessity.
You can’t (yet) run such a system otherwise, it would take way too much funding & time/indoctrination to get unwilling-ish people to do this shit.
Currently ICE HR uses the base mass unemphatic culture with strong branding (+propaganda) & sense of belonging. Which are cheap to exploit/already there.
But even the most sadistic such agents have a limit, more of a hardwired shellshock type of thing that builds up (the more extreme example is how Nazis just had to stop mass executing villages bcs even soldiers that really wanted to do it had like a gore limit that built up to the point of them being unable to physically work).
With ICE agents not seeing the full horror first hand (and just willing to not imagine the consequences) this limit is far off I imagine, unfortunately.
I’m not advocating violence, this is just as a system explanation/mechanic, but ICE agents morale (and thus the effort) is def very vulnerable to any violence at this point. That is the reason why they are getting only the tamest job assignments (=human targets), suspiciously so. It’s not like it wouldn’t help the propaganda machine if they busted violent gangs (they have all the equipment & overwhelming numbers, just not the people capable of not falling apart with such actions).
aggressive spread and resilience to removal
Humans are a weed.
becomes a weed when it’s suddenly everywhere and you are fighting constantly to get rid of it
(Humans! :))
But you are fighting constantly to get rid of it bcs of some arbitrary goals. And the fact it’s spreading means that it’s perfectly adapted for survival in that environment you created, so it’s perfect for that pace.
Yes, this was a real educational technicality fuckup, it seemed sus but everyone was like “don’t you know it’s a weed”? - “No, no I do not. And you don’t even have a field to worry abut crop yields, it’s just a lawn & now there is a flower in it, wtf.”
I know it’s economy (or even sociology), but it’s too close to biology not to directly explain it properly.
Ball torture moved to the shaft.
Man came anal pine.
3am is a state of mind.
Lol, I did that too!
But people removeded abut it & about me being weird so now I just ((())) if it’s really needed (or if my brainhole just can’t/refuses to rephrase the text … or I ran out of fucks).
All supported by the giant shoulders of some tiny apes that jogged behind fauna for 4 million years, and ate some berries along the way.
If you get smacked it counts as a blessing.

Me, at age 25, colourised.
But after that I aged rapidly and things got a lot more expensive.
Thx for interacting! :)
