It mentions that the right wants to limit immigration in response, but is that a non sequitor? Like the article doesn’t say anything about the crime being done by immigrants or their descendants. Like is that true? Who knows, the article doesn’t address it.
No. In the US at least, wages are up for blue collar work, and that’s where the economy was most vulnerable. Inflation has been bad but it’s coming back under control and wages can outpace it in the next couple years, median wage growth already has (yes I have a hard time believing this too, but that’s the numbers).
The last financial crisis had a flagrant cause in default-prone loans. There isn’t such a problem right now.
The largest crisis we are running into is a crisis of propaganda, where people are being told “everything is terrible” when in fact the numbers show that everything is pretty great… except for white collar tech workers (me!).
I think the tech market will rebound the second that the fed lowers rates again, because tech is fundamentally capital intensive and speculative. So you need cheap money to fuel tech. Video games deflated/corrected a bit but that’s fine, those people can work on other things.
Is this because they waited too long, or because the answer is something other than anti-immigrant sentiment?
For example, there’s this statistic that almost everyone dies shortly after having CPR performed on them. Paradoxically, that doesn’t mean CPR is bad: it absolutely saves lives. It’s just that they do it too late on a lot of people (and also perform it on a bunch of people who are going to die no matter what but that’s not the point of this anecdote).
Why is the right becoming more popular? What changed?
She said anal, maybe she is a virgin
I don’t have kids but I’d kind of like to have adult kids when I’m old. So maybe I can adopt a college age person when I’m like 50 or something
BRB buying Raytheon stock
Pretty sure Kissinger said that; the us does not have allies or enemies, only interests.
We had the million man march and stuff way before the internet. I’m not sure why I think this, but I think it may prevent organization more than it enables it.
YES
honestly I’m ready to ban the internet. This whole thing was a huge mistake. We are not evolutionarily equipped to handle this much connection.
I got banned for suggesting that Hamas doesn’t care about Palestinian people, in the same comment where I said that Israel is committing genocide.
Some kind of purity test bullshit.
No I think Colorado USA is maybe the best place in the world to live as long as a certain asshole isn’t elected president.
All my friends live here and so does my family and I have no intention of leaving them, they are too important to me.
I don’t think anyone is interested in sanctioning their own proxy state.
So lots of places should sanction, but the USA will not.
Well it’s not that it means nothing to me, but my job in the US pays about $30k more than it would in Germany (I can’t speak to other countries). Lots of Germans come to the US to work in my field for that reason (well they used to before all the layoffs). Also my health insurance is free.
That said, I absolutely still want public healthcare. Not just for the people in my country who desperately need it, but for myself too. Because while my healthcare is “free”, it isn’t really; my salary could be higher otherwise. And I lose coverage if I stop working (actually not really we have programs for that, but still kind of).
It’s a global market. The US exports oil. The price would go up.
Bomb Iranian oil fields.
Make gas cost $10 per gallon. Incentivize public transportation and fuel efficient vehicles, simultaneously crippling Iran.
Our lack of healthcare has nothing to do with lack of spending. We spend more on public healthcare per capita than countries with universal public healthcare.
Our problem is lack of price control, not lack of funds.
You know they’d still be shooting people, right?
People are posting all kinds of ridiculous solutions that they know are impossible. Legalize drugs. Use less drugs. The cartels run more than just drugs! They run fucking avocados!! And electronics!! They have diversified. Never mind that it’s politically impossible to do anything like that. It can’t happen.
Invading Mexico and shooting the cartels CAN happen. It gives money to the defense industry, which itself is enough reason that it could happen. It’s probably even in the USA’s best interest to try and de-corrupt Mexico (never mind that this would be a bloody mess with huge loss of life). My point isn’t that it’s a good idea, it’s that it’s a solution that could actually happen in real life.
Use the water pressure to power a turbine generator, then use the electricity from that generator to run a window AC unit
