What if Group X has their own country where they will get that preference but Group Y is native born and gets a taint? The top class of Group Y will be fine. It's the lower ranks of Group Y who lose out to Group X and the higher ranks

Aggressive immigration without proper planning raises rents and lowers wages. It is exploitation under the guise of benevolence.

Understand that if Russia wins the Ukraine war the BRICS will take the lead on global energy policy. It's the G7 who prioritize carbon reduction, not the BRICS and BRICS adjacent. If the G7 nations cut their fossil fuel usage they just

It's sad the people who need the lower cost vehicles are people of color, and the people who push for these regulations are people of privilege. As I've learned in my courses from work, racism is pervasive and surfaces in manners

Anyone who questioned the covid vaccine because of 5G mind control factors was not rational. Questioning the covid vaccine because it was not fully tested and the technology has had a history of issues was completely rational.

It would demonstrate to the public what a real expert like Peter Hotez or Paul Offit is next to an ambulance chaser like RFK. RFK is the most prominent anti-vaxxer around. Humiliating him would cut the legs of the movement. This was also a

A 10x on price would mean a significant shift would be much more expensive, as whales would have to be much bigger to cause a substance movement. Btc isn't just crypto, its the block chain too. So not only can you pay/collect, bu

Tether is a problem. It's one of the reasons I would not go all-in on btc, but it's not insurmountable. There are plenty of use cases that do not involve USDT.
