2 days of runbad reset most of that. So, so many sigh-calls w/ 2-pair+ OTR that were bad.

Thankfully pulled back a bit last night. Only down 1 BI over the past 3 days,...

Just like all other groups of people - the vast majority of migrants do not intend to move country to live or continue a life of crime. The data (in the US at least) show roughly the same rates of...
