@ankoromochuu Leftists are marxists. They hate capitalists and their eventual goal communism. Some just talkative bout socialism because its a less scary sounding stepping stone.
@ymPhldjA88DQwyx@sumomodane The American comedian, Chris Rock, states "only women, children and dogs are loved unconditionally. A man is only loved on the condition he provides something" is you believe that, then all connections for him are dry and transactional
Hey international friends! It’s officially coffee time here in Japan. ☕️🇯🇵
What time is it for you? What are you guys up to right now?
(And yes, here’s a photo of my dog! )
If we suspend disbelief and assume Japan became state 51 tomorrow, it would represent ~ 25% of total population, where the economic impact would roughly be equivalent to adding a second California (GDP).
Japanese would be the second largest racial demographic behind Caucasian, assuming you separate the hispanic ethnicity.
Politically, (and there are some broad assumptions here), Japan would gain ~120 representatives in the House (one part of the federal legislature), increasing the total count from 435 to 555. However, Japan would only receive 2 senators (the second part of the legislature). Since legislation has to pass through both the house and the Senate, the Senate would act as a check on new Japanese influence on federal politics.
Realistically, Japan would more than likely have to be brought in as multiple states, but this is all an incredibly hypothetical exercise.
I would much rather Japan stay Japan and the US stay the US, while both work together and protect one another.
Hope this helps!
@brains_rid No. Presidents are not elected in the United States by a vote of the people. The individual states get different numbers of votes per state and the election is for the states to pick their representatives for that vote. The system is called the electoral college
@m_takewaka LGBT is originally an acronym for Lesbian, Gays, Bisexual and Transgender people. This is changing the meaning and usually done as a way to say I dont agree with that stuff
