@Real_RobN Trump just had to violate US Law and 1st, 4th, 5th, and 8th amendments to do it. You may not have a problem with that, the rest of know it’s only a matter or time before they come after you.

And here it is: One of the most shocking testimonies in United States congressional history. J.J. CARRELL served in the United States Border Patrol for twenty-four years until he retired as a deputy patrol agent in charge in the San Diego Sector. He worked under five presidential administrations, and only one president secured the border: President Donald Trump. J.J. CARRELL: “I state without reservation that the United States federal government, under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is the world’s largest child sex-trafficking organization in modern history. The probability that thousands of these children are being raped at this very moment is one hundred percent. “Border Patrol agents went from working and being supported by the greatest border president in American history to the worst, President Joe Biden. My last year in the Border Patrol was Joe Biden’s first year in office. On his first day in office, I watched in disbelief as ninety-four executive orders cascaded down from Washington, D.C., obliterating every immigration policy that had provided the most secure border in America’s history. Border agents were forced to carry out unconstitutional orders that violated every law in the Immigration and Nationality Act. President Biden, through Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, created policy out of thin air, ignored federal immigration law, and facilitated the largest mass invasion into America that the world has ever seen. “The United States of America will have spent hundreds of billions of dollars in four years to fund the needs of over fifty million illegal aliens who populate our nation. Between one in six and one in seven residents in America is an illegal alien. America has suffered the greatest demographic shift in modern history. “After serving in the United States Border Patrol for twenty-four years, I state with complete certainty that Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas are intentionally, strategically, and purposely weaponizing illegal immigration and using it as a tool to fundamentally transform America. Inside this invasion, the unspoken evil of child trafficking, and more specifically child sex trafficking, has flourished. At the end of this current administration, the number of children trafficked will have grown to over five hundred and fifty thousand unaccompanied alien children, known as UACs.” The death penalty.

Bing Crosby's nephew once asked him a simple question on a golf course. "What was the hardest thing you ever had to do in your entire career?" Howard expected Hollywood stories. A difficult director, maybe. Studio pressure. The grind of fame. Bing didn't hesitate for even a second. December 1944. Northern France. The war in Europe still had months of blood left to give. Bing Crosby was overseas on a USO tour - not because anyone made him go, but because he'd tried to enlist and been turned down. Too old, they told him. General George Marshall put it plainly: "We don't need you on the front lines. We need you keeping these men alive on the inside." So Bing went. At his own expense. No toupee — he called the thing a "scalp doily" and refused to wear anything fake in front of men who had nothing fake left in them. And when the brass tried to claim the front rows, he shut that down immediately. Front rows were for enlisted men. The ones who'd actually be in the dirt. That night, they set up an open-air stage in a field. Thousands of soldiers gathered in the cold. There were laughs, there were jokes, there were moments where the war felt briefly, mercifully far away. Then came the last song. White Christmas. Since 1942, that song had followed American soldiers everywhere. It played on Armed Forces Radio. Men who hadn't seen snow, or their families, or their front porches in years would hear those opening notes — and completely fall apart. Bing looked out at the audience as he began to sing. Every single one of them was crying. Thousands of men. Combat soldiers. Men who had seen things no human being should see. Weeping openly, without shame, in a cold field in France, listening to a song about home. And Bing Crosby had to finish it. He had to hold his voice steady. He had to keep going, bar by bar, note by note, while thousands of men wept in front of him. He told his nephew it was the single most difficult thing he ever did in his life. Not a film. Not a performance. Not anything Hollywood ever asked of him. Just a song. Just a field. Just the faces of men thinking about home. A few days later, those same soldiers were sent into the Ardennes Forest. December 16, 1944. The Battle of the Bulge - the largest, costliest battle American forces fought in all of World War II. A surprise German offensive that would leave tens of thousands dead before it was over. Many of the men who wept in that field never came home. After the war ended, Allied troops were surveyed: who had done the most for their morale? Bing Crosby. Ahead of Bob Hope. Ahead of President Roosevelt. Ahead of General Eisenhower. He wasn't a star to them. He was a piece of home that came to find them when they couldn't come home themselves. 🙏♥️🇺🇸

@DrDiGiorgio @mcuban Anthony, that assertion is strong and needs to be fleshed out. Medicaid was supposed to do that in the US, contrasting the virtual system that Medicaid produces vs a brick and mortar approach in the UK.

@mcuban “Every other country does it” also ignores that, aside from Canada, they all have thriving private markets for healthcare. Bernie’s legislation would make a private market illegal.

Let me help rephrase for you Bernie. Need a loan for college so you can party for a semester and drop out? Taxpayers will loan you money for it. Need an SBA loan for your business ? Taxpayers will guarantee it. For a house ? Taxpayers will guarantee it. And local gov will give you money for your first down payment ! Get sick or are in an accident and you can’t afford your deductible, insurance company denied prescribed care or are uninsured ? You are on your own 😤 Let me add Bernie, the one debt not a single one of us will ever pay off till the day we die ? Our health insurance premiums And before you go in and on about single payer, ask @claudeai to take a look at your proposed Single Payer legislation. You want the Sec of HHS to run it. You can’t have a political appointee run an apolitical position And you expect every provider and doctor to accept whatever rate is set by Medicare. Big hospitals don’t know their costs. They couldn’t do a BOM for any procedure. They have negligible transparency. If they don’t know their costs, and you don’t know their costs, how is it possible for taxpayers, caregivers and patients to get a fair deal ? And the concept of “every other country does it “ ignores the fact that they all converted decades and decades ago, long before you and your peers allowed the extreme vertical integration we face now. Which leads to the question. @BernieSanders , why have you not advocated for the Break Up Big Medicine Bill ?
Bernie Sanders@BernieSanders

Health care? "You're on your own." Housing? "Nothing we can do." Grocery prices? "You're out of luck." $200 billion for another war? "No problem!" Americans—Democrats, Republicans, independents—are SICK AND TIRED of endless wars. We need to invest here at home.

Claude knows! —> The Lump of Labor Fallacy and Why AGI Unemployment Panic Is Economically Illiterate Let me lay this out with full rigor, because this argument deserves to be prosecuted completely rather than waved away with a sound bite. I. What the Lump of Labor Fallacy Actually Is The lump of labor fallacy is the assumption that there exists a fixed, finite quantity of work in an economy — a lump — such that if a machine (or an immigrant, or a woman entering the workforce) does some of it, there is necessarily less left for human workers to do. It treats employment as a zero-sum pie. The fallacy was named and formalized in the early 20th century but the error it describes is far older. It animated the Luddite riots of 1811–1816, where English textile workers destroyed power looms convinced that the machines would steal their jobs permanently. It drove opposition to the spinning jenny, the cotton gin, the mechanical reaper, the steam engine, the telegraph, the railroad, the automobile assembly line, the personal computer, and every other major labor-displacing technology in the history of industrial civilization. Every single time, the catastrophists were wrong. Not partially wrong. Structurally, fundamentally, categorically wrong — because they misunderstood the nature of economic production itself. The reason the fixed-pie assumption fails is this: demand is not fixed. Work generates income. Income generates demand for goods and services. Demand for goods and services generates new categories of work. This is an engine, not a reservoir. When you drain some of the reservoir with a machine, the engine speeds up and refills it — and often refills it past its previous level. II. The Classical Economic Mechanism That Destroys the Fallacy To understand why the lump-of-labor assumption is wrong about AGI, you need to understand the precise mechanism by which technological unemployment resolves itself. There are four distinct channels, all operating simultaneously: Channel 1: The Productivity-Demand Feedback Loop (Say’s Law, Modified) When a technology increases the productivity of labor or replaces labor entirely in a given task, it lowers the cost of producing whatever that task was part of. Lower production costs mean either: ∙Lower prices for consumers (real purchasing power rises), or ∙Higher profits for producers (which get reinvested, distributed as dividends, or spent as wages for other workers), or ∙Both. Either way, aggregate real income in the economy rises. That additional real income does not evaporate. It gets spent on something — including goods and services that didn’t previously exist or were previously too expensive to consume at scale. That spending creates demand. That demand creates jobs. This is not a theoretical conjecture. The average American in 1900 spent roughly 43% of their income on food. Today it’s around 10%. Agricultural mechanization didn’t produce a nation of starving unemployed farm laborers — it freed up 33% of household income to be spent on automobiles, television sets, air conditioning, healthcare, education, travel, smartphones, and streaming services, most of which didn’t exist as industries in 1900. The workers who left farms went to factories, then to offices, then to service industries, then to information industries. The economy didn’t run out of work. It metamorphosed.

AI employment doomerism is rooted in the socialist fallacy of lump of labor. It is wrong now for the same reason it’s always been wrong. More people really should try to learn about this. The AI will teach you about it if you ask! (Hinton is a socialist. youtube.com/shorts/R-b8RR6…)

Why should NATO countries get dragged into a conflict they wouldn’t be able to resolve anyway? You MAGA idiots keep raving about a third world war in connection with Ukraine—wouldn’t involving European countries bring us one step closer to a global conflict? The only effect would be that the madman Trump could blame his European allies for the failure of his war—which he’s doing anyway—but that won’t exonerate him.

This simply shows that you are completely clueless about the subject. The J-1 waiver pathway is one of the most restrictive physician workforce programs in the country. These doctors do not arrive in the United States and do as they please. To remain here, they must serve 3 to 5 years in government-designated rural or underserved communities before they can even move toward permanent residency. That restriction remains in place even if they marry a U.S. citizen or have an approved employment-based immigrant petition. That is precisely why the program works. It is a clear exchange: rural America gets highly qualified physicians, including surgeons, oncologists, cardiologists, and other specialists, in places many U.S. graduates consistently choose not to go, and the physician earns a path to permanent residency only after years of obligated service. That is why many U.S.-trained physicians on this pathway wait 10 to 15 years to become citizens, while people adjusting say through marriage, the visa lottery, or asylum can become citizens in 3-5 years. So no, this is not about IMGs “escaping the poor.” It is about a successful and highly restrictive policy that directs strong physicians into communities the domestic workforce has repeatedly failed to fill. If you do not understand how the system works, you should probably avoid rage baiting and lecturing others about it.

Just like American medical graduates , IMGs seek to escape rural poor areas as quickly as possible.. which is why despite allowing IMG galore into the US and allowing non physicians to practice without a medical license the rural poor access problem continues. If serving the poor was the main motivation for IMGs, why wouldn’t they serve the rural poor in their own countries that are significantly worse off?
Real Doc Speaks@real_doc_speaks

The IMGs don't want to stay in rural areas and that isn't the answer to the physician shortage in rural areas. Why is it acceptable for the US to steal physicians from foreign countries that desperately need them?
