Common Cents

I offer nothing more than simple facts, plain arguments, and common sense

@moundpodnate @HollyCabot I disagree but I understand your point. Taking a step back, my issue is less with boomers specifically (though I find them to be self-absorbed) and more w/ policies where some take advantage and some cannot. Should apply to all or none. I’m in favor of less taxation, period

You do realize the Boomers paid the social security, medicare and all the handouts for the previous generations, right? Why do you think it should stop now because Gen Z finally has to pony up..

What a strange invasion force they are. They couldn't conquer us with guns, or with trade, so they came with empty hands and mouths full of tales about how they were too good for their own nations and people. And now that we have realized that this, too, is a weapon, they screech like psychotic ex-girlfriends, alternately sobbing about how heartlessly cruel we are, and ranting dire predictions about how we will never survive without them. But if we can't live without them, why aren't we dead yet? Every time they demand to stay in our country, there is always some claim that they do for us something we cannot do for ourselves. "I'm a scientist!" Do they expect us to believe we are incapable of science? To "be a scientist" is not a contribution. It is a credential. A scientist was enrolled in a PhD program, instead of someone else. He passed that program, and was given a fellowship, or a research grant, or a job, or a tenure track position. Instead of someone else. When institutions squat across every upward ladder in your civilization, gatekeeping vigorously, it really IS a zero sum game. And what have these student-visa, green-card-stapled-to-his-PhD scientists invented? Discovered? Revolutionized? Not much. Certainly not more than the native Americans did in the 20th century. They all want to wear Warner Von Braun like a cape, but where are the results? The actual next Werner Von Braun didn't get any special favors, even though he's technically African, and we all know why he didn't. I don't see any compelling evidence that all these hordes of third worlders are a net positive AT ALL, much less a better bet than the sons of America who they were imported to replace. Why the hell would I feel sorry for them when I know 140+ IQ Americans who are hanging drywall and driving school buses? Norman Borlaug saved the third world from starvation, and the thanks America gets is that the Millennial Norman Borlaug gets to sell insurance because our political class wanted to play Racial Diversity Zoo for cheap votes. And then pat themselves on the back for being generous with someone else's heritage. So I'm not interested in the crocodile tears of an invader over losing ten percent of something that was never his to begin with, as I am equally not interested when he switches, on the instant, to boasting about how he is "competitive" in the hundred yard dash when he starts on the fifty yard line. The replacement of native Americans with everyone else isn't some wild eyed conspiracy theory. It was done right out in the open. We all know this. We all know exactly who had their thumbs on the scales, because they didn't bother to try hiding it. The only thing they hid was their motives. So, as far as I'm concerned, we can send them all back. Every last one. And wish them the best of luck in their own countries. After all, if, as they claim, all playing fields are inherently level, and only merit matters, they should revolutionize their own economies in short order. Meanwhile, we can do for GenZ Americans what GenX and the Millennials missed out on until it was too late. We can invest in them.

@Polito_loco @artfusion333 @MercerTaye4401 Why would they protest? They’re being funded by the very government in question

@artfusion333 @MercerTaye4401 I tend to agree, and I think, @MercerTaye4401 does too. Which is, kind of his point. It's about breaking barriers. Until people learn this nothing changes.

Ireland is in a CODE RED SITUATION. Where are the so called "black Irish"? The ones that wave their passports. The ones that flee persecution to a country where the natives are being persecuted, here in Ireland. @MercerTaye4401 has put an urgent call to all African to stand up in solidarity with Irish to join the protests. I know proud South African families, some of the best people, proud, god-fearing, christians, and love our traditional values. Please join us! If not now, WHEN?!!!
