The US does not recognize non-immigrant (tourist/student/some work visas) aliens to be people, thus they don't have all the rights the people have like bearing arms (which is ascribed to people like the 4th amendment does, un

The situation resolved in my passport being flagged, feds executing a fruitless search warrant (thankfully the doctors would not go through with the full cavity search but i am in debt for the warrant), and lawyers telling me I'm SOL.

Immigration in the US is designed around rewarding the daring liar. Overstaying a visa isn't even illegal and extremely difficult to enforce, and working informally is trivial and pretty much impossible to enforce in a country where ci

Don't worry they do it to citizens too. On one occasion CBP told me they would not let me enter the country. On another they imprisoned me for ~12 hours, on another they asked me if I work in the US and tried to demand ever more intr

Yes it takes time. There should be some temporary deflation to taxpayers though as the shit canned officials sell off their goods and houses, if the premise sister proposed is true that they go belly up on mortgage and rent.

Sure but if worker own businesses generate more profit for workers then the workers can use that wealth to buy, I mean lobby and later employ, officials just like other businesses no? I don't see why they cant do all the same corrupt

There are plenty of worker owned businesses. If this leads to more worker prosperity then the free market should push workers into them and to form them. They are free to do so, so what gives?

This is 1000% true. Owner builder DIY building is basically unregulated where I live. I built a 600 sq ft house for like $40,000 last year. I have a plan that works, but either no one believes me or they spend all their time looking for w

The main argument for government employees is not that they generate more wealth spending than the private sector. If that were the case we'd just make everyone government employees. Generally the government is worse at generating wea

Government employees are funded by taxing or inflating away wealth from the productive economy. That wealth doesn't evaporate when the government employee is fired, it is instead reverts back for spending to the entities from which it

Government employees draw their money from taxes, inflation, or debt that's paid by one of the two. Stop spending is a bit of a myth, it reverts the spending to whatever productive entity in the economy it was taken from.

375 minus like 287 in unrealized gains. My next question is are they still behind once you consider the market value of the ATM and other investments. I doubt it's a total write off.
