I’m a white person making a joke about white people. Stop trying to win the Oppression Olympics.

I’m not referring to skin color, but the social construct.

Race is a social construct.

Well that is the whitest thing I’ve heard today.

Like George Carlin said, somewhere there is the worst doctor and someone has an appointment with them tomorrow!

Bringing prices down means deflation and that is terrible for the economy. It means the real value of debt increases which disincentivises investment. It also risks a deflationary spiral which is a situation where decreases in the price level lead to lower production, which in turn leads to lower wages and demand, which leads to further decreases in the price level.

“Cool. Got a hit friend you can hook me up with?”

Many immigrants come with children.

I wasn’t complaining about the inclusion of those children. I was complaining of the inclusion of children of immigrants born in the US which constitutionally makes them American citizens.

Law enforcement costs money and pulled away from normal operation.

Which is a choice we make. It is not inherent to immigration. For half the existence of this country we spent zero on regulating immigration.

if migrants didn’t generate net revenues positively in their country of origin, what makes you think they generate a net positive in the new host country?

Failure of productivity results from a corrupt and inefficient government in places like Venezuela. It has little to do with the capability of people. Go to any construction site or kitchen in the US and you will find them staffed with mostly immigrants. Labor created value and anyone can do labor if managed effectively.

Furthermore, why do municipalities like NYC have to cut services? Why do they have to evict migrants from shelters?

Because they don’t have sufficient funds to do so which could easily be fixed if xenophobes in government didn’t block taking action.

Using their logic, we should take in all the people in poverty in the world, and boost the GDP to astronomical levels by funding all of it.

Correct. Labor is the most valuable natural resource on Earth.

Services like education, medical expenses, law enforcement, legal costs and welfare were prominent factors FAIR looked at in its study.

Costs for law enforcement and legal expenses would not need to be included if immigration was not illegal, so I don’t see why they should be factored in.

FAIR also included the costs of US-born children of illegal immigrants — something many reports don’t factor in.

Including American citizens in the cost of illegal immigrants is dishonest.

It would depend on the god. A god of strength or perfection would see anything that makes you stronger as a good thing.

Sausage seems like the perfect entry point for this technology. People don’t really care what goes in them as long as it tastes good. It’s also a lot more forgiving from a texture perspective. It would even be feasible to expand to more exotic sausages like pheasant or alligator.

“Man, don’t you know? The law ain’t made to help earthy cats like us. Here on our planet, back in the old days - back in the real old days - it was just every man for himself, scrooblin’ and scrat-scroblin’ for the good stuff, the greenest valleys. And the strongest, meanest men got the best stuff. They got the green valleys and were like ‘The rest of you, y’all scrats get sand.’ And that’s when they made the laws, you see? Once the strong guys got it how they liked it, they said ‘This is fair now, this is the law.’ Once they were winning, they changed the rules up.” —Jake the Dog, Adventure Time, “Ocarina”

Calzones are in the hand pie family along with Cornish pasties and empanadas

Is every pie a quiche or is every quiche a pie?

I’ve been using NewPipe since I found out about it. Ad free YouTube with no slow down that I can see.

That is fine on a personal level, but falls apart on the socio-political level. The government is expected to step in when people are discriminated against and that can’t happen if they are colorblind.

The army is a bit different as soldiers are indoctrinated to identify themselves as military above any other self-identity. That doesn’t exist in the civilian world

Jupiter something?

Colorblindness only works if nobody is racist. As long as there is racism, certain people will have different experiences and difficulties as a result. Failure to recognize these differences allows you the problems caused by racism to be perpetuated.

I remember hearing about US soldiers burning C4 to heat up meals.
