These sound like two entitely disconnected points, also sans facts? I could get 25 gbps in Switzerland for CHF 69 pm right now through init7. From what I've seen, this would be considered quite competitive in other countries. In Swit

Not everybody across the world is doing that in equal measure (I've not heard of a concerted effort by Europeans travelling to the US to give birth in contemporary times). People migrate for economic opportunity. South Africa is not a

Are any of these stipulated as criteria anywhere? There's also proportion of adult in prisons, people who believe in angels, and the mass-shooting high score > AC units per capita This gave me a laugh

As a non-US citizen, birthright citizenship has always struck me as strangely unique to America - in my mind it comes from a time when it was actively trying to populate the continent (something not a lot of countries have wanted to do, I g

I wasn't aware of that fun fact - I always just assumed it was down to the "personal responsibility" mindset ("people must pay for what they use"). Have the courts also said anything about the charge being super low

There was a lot of talk last year about Europe creating funds to attract US researchers burned by these cuts - I haven't heard much about that recently, but if it worked it could potentially have created/started a reverse brain-dr

Sure, I'm aware of this and other cases across Europe. The question now is whether or not the establishment of open borders across the continent has dispelled that hesitation or reinforced it. Afaict it's the former, otherwise I&#

So taking your premise on face value, how has open borders specifically augmented/facilitated this racism exactly?

Europe has open borders and this hasn't facilitated any increase in xenophobia that I'm aware of, despite many countries having many immigrants. South Africa by contrast does not have open borders, and is currently going through a

The way I've seen Scandinavia referenced has been more of a counterpoint to dysfunctional aspects of the US having to be the way they are. There is nothing definitively different about the US that prevents it from solving a lot of it

This comparison of the large Western European economies (most frequently Germany) to America's poorest state based on GDP-per-capita is all the rage on the US right at the moment. It's an eye-catcher, but obviously fallacious - th

Given the initiative doesn't mention ethnicity/race but rather a population cap of people in general, Europeans (who are also white, FYI) might find it odd to do as you suggest. The US, meanwhile, has halted ALL refugees, except f
