It would also be a big pile of shit, literally.

The last sewage treatment plant built in the West Bank was during the late 1980s paid by the Israeli government. The PA has not built any more since then despite a 300% increase in population. Hence, the sewage problems. Now try a 200-300% population increase again during the repatriation to the West Bank and see what happens.

Why hasn't the PA built any infrastructure? The corruption in the PA is incredible. Many aid groups have estimated approximately 40-60% of all taxes and aid collected is stolen by PA officials, contractors, and cronies.

Some of it is absolutely profiteering. eBay listing from toilet paper went from under 1000 to now approaching 20000 listing. Facebook is also refusing to shutdown their market for panic buying goods.

At least Amazon and Craigslist are removing 3rd party sales as fast as they can.

What people are buying isn't making sense in general.

First it was the bread. Then people settled for the tortillas. Now the boxed instant oatmeal. None of this made any sense in the first place.

Not to mention all the milk. The amount that's going to end up in landfills is beyond insane.

WTF is wrong with people.

The pass rate of California baby bar and the actual bar are some of the lowest in the nation. California bar pass rate is 35% on a good year, and in the pandemic, worse than even bad years. The California bar is infamously difficult. As a result, a 3rd or 4th attempt passing of even the baby bar won't raise eyebrows that much. The pass rate for Law Office Study Programs of the California bar exam is horrendously low though, much lower than ABA approved law schools.

California has a terrible access to justice to problem due to the high cost of living, shortage of attorneys, and no reciprocity means even higher attorney fees.
