The reddit tier meme of "Italians" weren't considered 'white' needs to die. I suspect it's an exaggeration of some elite anti immigrant sentiment written down from the time... Most people back then just did not see things in terms of ethnic macro grouping. They were much more…
There used to be. Italians were not considered white until relatively recently. As were the Irish. Italians were actually one of the most lynched groups in America. This is why Irish people for example were given undesirable jobs when they came to America.
There's a fine line between some women's writings on Palestine and erotic lit: x.com/caitoz/status/…
I envy the Palestinians. Not for what they’re going through, obviously, but for what they have. Their supremely authentic culture, with its deep roots and ancient connection to the land. One of the very, very few good things that the Gaza holocaust has brought into this world is…
I repeat: In 1971 the federal minimum wage was $1.60 per hour That’s 1.82 oz of gold per week in 40 hours Today that would translate to approx $150.00 per hour and $6000 That’s what they stole from Americans
America in the 1970s Probably afforded this lifestyle on one income
Thought every dissident knew this but I guess not, so I’ll say it: The housing crisis is just demography. The NIMBY thing is just race. Everyone wants to live a) in/near cities b) around white people c) away from global lumpenproles That combo is getting *absolutely* scarce.

“The power that a millionaire has over me is much less than that of the smallest bureaucrat who wields the coercive power of the state, and on whose discretion it depends whether and how I am to be allowed to live or work.” — Friedrich Hayek
Shrimp aside, are you ready for the real utilitarianism, anon?
Yes, think of how many rules and regulations and laws are written because of them. Think of how much you pay in taxes because of them … liquidate even the bottom 2% and watch society soar.
A lib friend asked me, "don't you think that billionaires have too much power?" The dipshit who makes $15/hr at the city clerk's office tried to deny me and my fiancée a marriage license b/c we came in at 12:05 and they close at 12:30 The bottom quintile has too much power.
The urban planner world is awash with people who believe in a conspiracy theory wherein a convoluted system of laws pushed by the auto industry has made us car dependent while also impeding the adoption of mass transit. It never occurs to them that many people just prefer cars.
i am actually curious why so many people insisted that illegal immigrants were never receiving welfare benefits when it seemed like they definitely were i never cared enough to dig into this but it seemed at the time like that claim was perhaps a lie and now it seems confirmed?
In Illinois, adult immigrants ages 42-64 without legal status have lost their health care to save an estimated $404 million. trib.al/CbnpKJT
Inflation is a pain, but reminiscing about this kind of 2am del taco 50cent tacos, 99c Arizonas subway and Pizza Hut lifestyle is poverty coded and a positive development that it's harder to be an after midnight unemployed ghoul or drunk sobering up at Denny's. One of the worst…
We had 24 hour Walmart, $1 McChickens, $5 foot longs, $20 full tanks. 99 cents stores... Man we had it all. What happened?
The current leftist position is that we need to triple the minimum wage then sneak 10M people into the country to do all the real work for $5 an hour.
IMO we need a smoother gradient between unemployed and conventional employment. this is one nice thing about uber and doordash - they put people to use who would otherwise be difficult to employ
The United States is squandering the talent of its kids in public schools. Do you think the Chinese have any reservations about "tracking"?
I student taught jr high school in the late 80’s. I noticed a cohort of bright, bored kids boys who were on what I called the “underachiever” path. They did enough work to stay out of trouble but not enough to develop their potential or set themselves up for success. When I…
Imagine if the smartest kids were running studies in HS, building businesses, inventing something... instead of being an uncompensated Teaching Assistant
I am having a very hard time understanding the type of person who thinks that the primary purpose of somebody with an IQ of 145 should be to try to get some people with IQs of 95 to get from a 7th grade reading level to an 8th grade reading level by the end of high school.
My inner dumb internet warrior wants to find people who have suggested that smart kids tutoring is effective who have also said that only highly qualified teachers can teach & homeschooling is impossible.
