Honestly I would never be ok with blackface untill America has at least 100 years of what South Africa is currently doing to wipepo.

No you are right...supply won't magically stop...but supply for poor people WILL stop because it's not profitable, and the only new construction will be supplying wealthy homes that will make a profit.

We would have to have the government give out massive subsidies to create housing for the poor, and we all know how government housing turns out...

This is such a weird hypothetical. We don't even know if the killing is murder or self-defense.

Because your motives for killing someone are your own.

Are you a robot? if yes, then it is a racist scenario.

I am personally happy with BSH as moderator.

Thanks Margaret Sanger.

Your feelings about why companies eliminate jobs or why construction companies won't build new low income housing are irrelevant.

The end result is the same. Less supply of apartments and jobs with more demand for both. The end result is the poor get the shaft. End of discussion.

Unless, you want government red tape makers to "create" housing and jobs, of course...and you know how well most communist centrally planned economies end up competitively on the global market....(hint: they are pretty inefficient)

Minimum wage is a much much worse idea than UBI for 3 time worn reasons.

1) Not everyone Can work.

2) Minimum wage reduces the number of available jobs even if you could work...and

3) Not everyone can qualify for the increased requirements of the few jobs left after price controls are applied to wages.

It's the same reason price controls on goods and services hurts the poor more than the rich, as the supply of goods are restricted to people in the know as well as illegal channels to get the few goods that are available an increased price. Ever tried to get an apartment in a rent controlled city? Good luck. Hope you have a tent.

Can you get banned for calling the Antifa group idiots?

Keep up the good work BSH

Here is a nice story about how Mexico treats the bad hombres south of the Mexican Border.
Trump's policy sparked international outrage when it was revealed migrant children were being kept in inhumane conditions in cages, having been forcibly separated from their families.
Of the 138,000 children put in similar detention centers in Mexico, 97 percent are from Central America, mainly Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, and 65,000 were traveling alone.
Entering Mexico without documentation is not considered a crime, but migrants face detention during the administrative process leading to deportation.
When caught by immigration authorities they are first sent to one of 46 provisional detention centers, then one of six migrant concentration centers, where children are sometimes separated from their families.
Children younger than eight are generally allowed to remain with their mothers, but older children are held separately in adult detention. Girls traveling alone with their fathers are sent to other facilities to prevent abuse, regardless of age
Authorities try not to separate families, but various circumstances mean the practice has been commonplace.
"It's a general practice. There are some moments during the day in which they allow them to be together. That's different," Miguel Paz, of the Citizen's Council of the Migration National Institute (CCINM), told BBC Mundo. 
"There are moments in some centers in which the whole population is together the whole day. Just in some."
According to Paz, the biggest problem is that in the 17 centers observed by the Citizen's Council, there are no set criteria or standards regarding separation and, as such, authorities act according to individual circumstances.
"They can't go out. They're in permanent confinement conditions," said Paz. "The testimonies are from children and entire families that have been there for four, five or six or more days and didn't know what it was to see daylight, to take some fresh air."

Ice doesn't do separations at the border Jabroni.

Ice grabs illegals at their workplace when they refuse to register as a legal resident and/or registered worker, usually years after they successfully slipped passed the border patrol, or overstayed a green card.

You Jabroni.

Altruism doesn't exist on a large scale. Nearly everyone in today's charities has a motive which makes them happy.

True Altruism would make you unhappy. Mother Teresa was miserable for most of her life, questioning a God that demanded she keep the poor alive to suffer longer. That's Altruism. Another form of self injury.

Most of the whacko NGOs helping illegal invaders are doing it to increase Church membership or to enhance a political Lobby for socialism and open borders. These NGO's actually rely on government welfare to encourage illegals to make the journey with promises of government funded charity. They help illegal migrants fill out the refugee forms that will qualify them for state aid.

There is nothing Altruistic about that.

If stormy daniels can get half a million to pay Trump's lawyers, you betcha this caravan can get funded.

Your solution was to gift 1 million dollars to everyone, regardless of productivity to society, in the hopes of creating financial equality.

Just confirming the bsh is a magnificent creature.

So you are saying the solution to poverty is not eliminating poverty?

I suppose we could make everyone poor like Venezuela.

The only way to COMPLETELY eliminate poverty is with enforced labour so that everyone has no choice to be unproductive in society along with an aggressive social program to cull the disabled.

That's not worth eliminating poverty, and i am happy to have the poor in exchange.

Government doesn't need to be in the business of making good personal decisions for the people.

People should have the right to choose to be stupid as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.

I'm just kidding lol. 

Risk assessment?

Alcohol is far more dangerous.

And then you discover after all that hard work that all your friends are really opportunistic parasites.

You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?”

Sure, the federal government is not stopping California from having a state plan like Masshealth.

I am SPARTACUS!

A good, classy politician is like a televangelist with proper makeup and hair.

Hehe Opium for the people there Karl?

Socialists love capital gains taxes because it punishes the productive people while leaving unproductive people unscathed.

It's the same reasoning for capital gains taxes...the government won't help you out when the market goes down.

The president has already issued plenty of Executive Orders deregulating labor.

If only we sent another pallet of cash to Iran, maybe they would stop funding Hamas.

Do you think his good name is cleared or should he file a lawsuit?

I'd be cool with a public option as long as anti-competitive regulations were lifted on private insurance companies.
