in a way that gives them a say in your gov?
Not much
Mostly holidays
We have to close the stores
And we have religious education aviable but it isnt mandatory
but it is still some say
the problem i have with Sep of Church and State in the US is how they got that specific verbage
And you still have the occasional judge/politician that bases some absolutely retarded decision on some backwards and literal interpretation of the bible.
And then he goes on a rant how UK shouldnt have alowwed muslims in
Making no differentiation beween muslim and islamist
I am not from UK so its kinda hard for me to judge that
They have had alot more problems in that area than the US
Yes because they alowed way too many people in a short time ad created paralel societies
I think it has more to deal with barriers to entry through welfare
if welfare pays more than a low paying job there is a problem
The best path to assimilation is work
And it shoudnt but that is not an argument for its abolishment
no but it is an example of how groups will not assimilate in large numbers
And something I noticed is in the idea of free trade
Nobody talks about reciprocity
Should we do free trade with china?
We allow them to buy land, companies etc.
They dont return the favour
It depends
I say we should prioritise trading If the laws are the same
you have to make markets in your own country competitve first through deregulation before you can have free trade
If you trade with protectionists without concetions you look like a sucker
Chinese gov is reportedly cracking down on overseas investment at the moment, funnily enough
not suprising
Has anyone tried just sucking more dicks? "Drained balls are good for all" my uncle used to say
Also
It irked me for a while. Just wanted to get the idea out there
Would be a much friendlier world
The US acquirers do their utmost to stay out of the headlines. They prefer to shop quietly, without competitors finding out. This does a lot to keep prices down and give these US buyers maximum negotiating leverage. A lot of these US acquisitions in China stay secret long after they close.
Contrast this style with that of Chinese investors in the US. Most end up bidding against one another for the same assets. *Overpaying has become a hallmark of Chinese purchases in the US*.
China still can confiscate those properties
So can other countries 🤷
It's something half the politicians in this country run on
"Der Chinese are stealing our land! we gotta take it BACK!"
Libertarianism is as utopian as socialism
