There are different standards, but it's not racism.
This is true they don't need the training BS they need to fix their standard and refuse service those who are not patrons of the business
@Jeremy-Retard Jerem, that's true. I've done it myself lol
But, evennif they were being racist, idc. They are allowed to be in my book.
@TheInquirer the beauty of a free market
Right
If you don't like the policy then choose another business
I agree that freedom of association is more important than anything. But unfortunately we have SCOTUS decisions and civil-rights-era legislation that convinces people that businesses cannot discriminate in any way.
In order to go the right direction on this, we kind of have to undo the notion that private businesses cannot discriminate.
Yeah I agree
I agree. But it could never happen. Whatever cabal is runnung the show in our government is hell bent on amassing a mixxed race population.
Any legislation that hinders that goal will not be tolerated. This is post national (in terms of nations of people and government) America.
Ironically this is only causing further pillarization
political groups become more distant, regardless of how closely they may adhere to the same solutions to the same problems
which then leads to talks (however empty) of secession and balkanization. The "policy of unity" leading to its opposite
But I like to think that's just because people can detect commies pretty well now
I agree. I think a nation (of similar culture and genealogy) of people must govern themselves. Post 1970 America is treading thin ice.
It's hard not get pulled into that perspective. It's getting harder and harder every day for me
Don't let my tangent stop the conversation. You all were talking about this police commissioner and apologizing....?
culture yes, I dont care about ethnicity. Like I was saying in another channel, I've had Fijians and Asians argue more strongly for Western culture than other Westerners
I said all I have to say on that bottom line never apologize
I'm sorry man that just doesn't sound right to me I've met foreign students and stuff especially Chinese students that argue against western culture more often than not
I have the opposite experience, most of the asians I know are quite aware of how much better the U.S. is, despite it's glaring faults.
Maybe that's just my limited experience showing
If you need some Yellow fever, I am communicable.
There was a post-doc in my lab in college who was a Chinese national. His english was horrendous, but you could have a conversation with him. He definitely thought the entire CCP was a disaster, and that the U.S. was far better.
Yeah all the guys and gals I talked to were going back to work for corporations in their home country so that might be the issue
The way American companies outsource workers is truly capitialistic, but it's also terrible for Americans. I'd rather have companies be loyal to Americans, invest in our education rathet than outsource. Otherwise, what's the point
At my university, 70% of the students were "international" which means anything but White kids. Fuck that
The only reason outsourcing is profitable is because the U.S. does not defend its currency. If the U.S. had openly acknowledged that China and other countries were engaging in currency manipulation, and taken steps to combat it, most of the outsourcing of jobs would have never happened.
Now, there's a tradeoff there too, other countries would not have industrialized so fast, China would still be agrarian.
It's hard to say if it would have been better to play capitalism straight and defended a stable currency market than a manipulatable one.. but at this point I think it's clear that it's time for China to face the consequences of it's long-term economic warfare against the U.S.
Tbh I don't understand anything about how currencies work.
Its simpler than you might think
Imagine you have a country that is really good at making Cars, they make and sell a lot of them to a second country. The second country can only grow food, and it's really easy to do it, so much so that there's far more excess food in the world than cars.
Now, in order for those two countries to trade fairly, they have to essentially only trade equal value (whatever everyone feels the fair price of each is) of each of their "stuff"
But in practice, this never happens, right? I mean, you can't have the U.S. saying, "No, we've imported enough German cars this year, we can't import any more or else you Germans will be giving us more value in cars than we gave you in food."
Because then you'd have shortages of imported goods, artificially made by laws.
So instead, national currencies are supposed to make up for this difference in value traded.
In some "ideal system" national currencies would always float relative to each other such that if we imported too many German cars one year, instead of simply stopping all imports of cars from Germany, the value of our currency would go down just a little bit when compared to Germany's currency. The imbalance in currency value ideally should reflect trade imbalances.
However... that doesn't happen either, and really can't as long as humans are in charge of currencies.
