he's a bit of an annoying LGBT-leftie "look at my activism go" guy but he's got heart
reminds me of a podcast i recently listened to
the podcast is Science Vs and the topic was immigration
did a decent job of breaking down common complaints of immigration and trying to see if there was data to back them up.
seemed like half of them where "not entirely wrong but not exactly right either" kind of deal, which is kinda to be expected. truth is usually closer to the middle.
Fun
most interesting one was that people who do immigrate here, do cost the US more in terms of welfare, but generally their children will end up putting more into the system in terms of taxes and stuff than most Americans
that make sense!
you get raised with the "this is a country we're privleged to be in, work hard motherfucker"
so over time it is a net positive. but thats like an 18 years or so delay
I've never met an immigrant, first or second generation, who wasn't a boss worker
so really, the argument that they are taking more than giving is not wrong in the slightest.
its just that there is a return on investment
which leads to trying to find a sustainable balance
I have
fuckin' leaf
also said that data shows first gen immigrates commit less crime on average (since committing crimes is generally a good way to get deported), however their kids will commit more crimes than them.... but no more than the surround community. aka they are no worse than native borne
NOW, they did point out that there is little to no data breaking down illegal and legal immigrates. so, there is some problem with that data
that ted talk was pretty good
krusty krab is unfair
not a picket fence
excuse the shitpost but seriously im going mad just hearing about these protests because #wrongpresident
I don't follow the protests anymore because I just assume everyone has gone nuts
theres a protest doing awn?
better to live in your own world and do your own thing
protests are pointless anyway
not all, but generally
yeah there are definitely situations where protesting can make an impact
if its one-sided yes
but in these cases it does nothing but make you personally feel good
but if its equal sided, then nothing will happen cuz it wont cost votes for officials
protest only works in situations where Krusty Krab is Unfair
oh noes
squidward joined the communists again?
on Tims latest video... I think JBP has mentioned this too, that women drive many markets more than men
Men make money so women can spend it.
yes and no
