@Glinner Leftists are actually mentally incapable of understanding things because they can’t hear anything that upsets them without lashing out like emotional children.

The responses to this are a good reminder that a lot of anti-immigrant keyboard warriors have no idea what the law says. “He had 20 years to become a citizen!” No. Thanks to country of origin caps, the wait time for Indians can be over *100 years*—just to get a green card. Many die waiting in line. We tell people seeking the American Dream to come here “the right way,” and then we punish them for doing so.
Sam Peak@SpeakSamuel

This H-1B worker has lived in the US for nearly 20 years and built a family here. His mom was dying in India. To visit her, he would need to wait months to book a consular appointment--with the soonest one available likely being scheduled one year out. He made the difficult choice of not visiting his dying mom because leaving without an appointment would mean separation from his children, job, and his other obligations. Much of the commentary around immigration focuses on how such bureaucratic burdens undermine immigrants’ ability to contribute and innovate. But we must remember that this red tape also prevents these people from being fully engaged with their own lives and meaningfully present in the lives of others. This matters too, and these seemingly non-economic problems will eventually translate into economic costs. If America is no longer a place where people feel empowered to be the best versions of themselves as they celebrate, struggle, and grieve, it ceases not just being the land of opportunity, but also the land of dignity and purpose. linkedin.com/posts/gautam-d…

I’m paying close to $300 a tank to run my truck. And that’s not including gas for farm activity. I have a farm. I can’t haul any livestock ANYWHERE. Neither can my neighbors who have cattle. One of them sold all his cattle and he’s out of the business. I know many farmers who grow hay, wheat, pumpkin, corn, cattle and they’re going under. People do not understand how much trouble we are in as a country.

Having children is fundamentally a moral issue. You’re making a life-altering decision for someone who never consented to it. You can’t guarantee them happiness. You can only guarantee they’ll experience pain, stress, loss, aging, and death. People say having kids is beautiful. Maybe. But creating possible suffering for someone else because you wanted to be a parent is a serious ethical choice people rarely question. If you have a child, you might create suffering.

I’m sitting there with a friend, just talking about random stuff after class, and somehow the topic shifts to abortion laws. They look at me and ask, “So are you pro-life or pro-choice?” I don’t really need to think about it. I just say, “Pro-choice.” They ask why, so I explain it how I see it. To me, everyone should have the right to decide what happens to their own body and their own life. That’s not something I think other people should be able to take away or control. And I also feel like a lot of people don’t really think about what happens when abortion is illegal. It doesn’t just stop abortions, it just makes them harder to access, even in serious situations like rape or when the pregnancy is dangerous. So people who are already dealing with something really heavy end up with even fewer options. That’s why I stand by it. Because without access, there isn’t really a choice at all.
k@alfkkifine

Are you pro-life or pro-choice, and why? What’s your opinion on it?

Basically every Israel-Palestine debate goes like this: "Israel did X." "Yeah, because the Palestinians did Y." "Yeah, because Israel did Z." "Yeah but only because the Arabs did A." But if you bring the debate back far enough in time, eventually you get to the part where the western world forcibly dropped a brand new ethnostate on top of a pre-existing civilization without the permission of — and to the extreme detriment of — the people who were already living there. Sure you can go further back and say "Oh yeah well the Jews lived there thousands of years ago," but that's just silly. There's no valid reason to believe some Jewish guy in New York City even has any meaningful lineage connecting him to that land more strongly than any random Muslim in Turkey or wherever, and even if there was, it would still be absurd to cite ancient history as the basis for a territorial claim. I'm only a few generations removed from my ancestry in Ireland and Scotland, but it would be ridiculous for me to show up demanding the home of someone who lives there. So the original source for the grievance is clearly the artificial creation of an ethnonationalist state in the mid-20th century, and the push by Zionists and western imperialists to make it happen. And how has that decision worked out? You see the results before you. Generations of nonstop violence and abuse, culminating in the slaughter and chaos throughout the middle east today. This means that creating Israel was a mistake. A mistake that needs to be corrected. Zionists will collapse into a shrieking pile of vitriol and hyperbole when you say this, claiming you're calling for the extermination of Jews, but this is false. Certainly ending a national order premised on putting the interests of Jews before Palestinians and righting the wrongs of the past would inconvenience a lot of the Jewish people who've been living there, but there's no basis for the claim that it would entail their deaths. Apartheid South Africa was dismantled without the extermination of millions of white people, and there's no reason to believe the dismantling of apartheid Israel would entail the extermination of Jews. The Israel experiment has been tried, and it has failed. It is time to try something else.

@ChrisAlvino We need to redistribute much more from the states that earn outsized income from extractive practices like housing corporate headquarters and doing things like finance and marketing and professional services. Together, we can solve blue states oppressing red states.

Literally capitalism. Not even joking. Those actual human jobs do not generate capital unless you're in the business of consolidation. And even then it's only the owners who'd get the money. Those shitty jobs make bank bc they're being directly employed by capitalists
𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉@OrevaZSN

Why is it that actual human jobs like baker, florist, teacher, and childcare worker barely pay a livable wage, while fake jobs like AI specialist bootlicker, marketing campaign parasite, and synergy consultant are pulling six figures?

I have no patience for these dipshits because the first business I started was a party rental and catering business and I paid starting wages of twice the minimum wage all the way back in 2006. They are whining they can't pay what I paid people TWENTY YEARS AGO.
Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪@PeterMcCormack

A simple message to the silly socialists. You’re upset by businesses telling you that they will fail with the minimum wage increase. You’re telling business owners silly things like if you can’t pay the minimum wage then you don’t have a viable business. I want to make this easier to understand, because if you mean what you say, you want people to have jobs and earn a liveable wage. So listen, businesses fail for all kinds of reasons, mainly because they are unprofitable. We are seeing a wave of business closures at the moment because of the compounding costs from the state against a cost of living crisis. To make a cup of coffee profitable it has to eat a lot costs: - 20% VAT (the inputs can’t be claimed back) - Business rates (a tax before you earn) - Rising NI costs - Employment rights load - Rising energy costs - Inflation All these are imposed by the state. There is also a time tax with all the accounting, HR and regularity requirements which impose cost of consultants and time costs to ensure compliance, distracting owners from operating their businesses. Then there are the other normal costs. A business owner needs to make a profit else the business fails. If the business fails there are less jobs and lower tax receipts. If there are less jobs then public services crumble and welfare requirements increase. This is a compounding problem and what leads to the downward spiral of a country. So… where does the money come from if there are less jobs. The government borrows it, that increase in the money supply drives more inflation, making life more expensive for the people you want to help. Some who now don’t have the job they once had. So what now? What is your plan? I get it, you don’t really have one, this is what has happened to every socialist state, this is how a country goes from rich to poor. We have no divine right to be a wealthy nation and can certainly lose that status. So this is your challenge, can you accept society has a distribution of wealth which means there are rich and poor or would you rather everyone was poorer as long as there are no rich. That’s what socialists tend to want, though I have a secret for you, you can’t get rid of people being rich. I know you think profit is ugly, but the profit motive is what creates business and jobs. So anyway. I’m going to keep promoting proper economics because that’s how a nation becomes prosperous and prosperity leads to a net better outcome for all. This does mean I am going to have to make fun of your stupid socialist ideas. Good luck, read a book and stop being a dumb dumb.
