USA should probably ban migrants from radical countries. This is a serious security flaw, especially with illegal immigration.
Trump actually proposed a ban to ban immigrants from countries with the statistically highest number of terrorists and liberals opposed it and defended terrorism. I think it still passed so things could be worse

My pattern recognition is quite incredible. This post was made prior to the FBI concerning it was a shitskin Muslim.
This was all based on how the media approached the topic and tried to hide what witnesses were telling then at the scene. Witnesses they definitely interviewed but whose interviews were never aired

I disagree hammering early is bad, and I would do it if I had a good reason to think cerulean is scum.
He should character claim though.
This statement about it being a side character. I haven't read the books and don't even know if mine would be considered side or a main, but isn't the whole issue literally just opinion.
For example in hunger games we can probably all agree that avox is a side character, but what about haymitch?
I think we would all struggle on whether to agree he is a side or main character

Modern muslims (many who live in western nations) dont support the laws which take away so much from women.
They always pretend they aren't retarded, until they reach 75% of the population a d start imposing ridiculous laws and murdering faggots

Christianity has only went to war with Islam over them being animals who come in the name of peace but who conquer, enslave Christians and persecute women.
I sincerely think it's mostly faggots larping. At first I thought the Italian was cool because they were fighting against opium and raping boys in packistan. However their latest laws banning women for speaking or even being seen sounds like they are literal faggots disgusted by women

The new Orleans xsr attack that has killed at least 10 and injured over 30 people happened during a new years celebration. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/live-blog/rcna185915
This was quite obviously done by a Muslim, because the media is refusing to show the suspect and any time that happens, it is always the usual suspects.
This is honestly happening because liberals just flood the country with these people who in turn influence gullible idiots of their terroristic ideology.
I have literally never heard a single good argument for allowing refugees into the country

@whiteflame
Alright, would you consider it an SOP claim?
No
Saying it's negative utility and saying that you want to "be directed" gives me a general idea of what's going on, but it doesn't tell me whether you have a strong reason to claim now. If not, then I don't know what kind of direction you're looking for.
I don't have a good reason to claim at all just wanted to see if we can get some discussion.

My role has a negative utility we might want to discuss a bit so I can be directed.

How have the holidays been for you? Also, what do you know of this series? I haven't even seen Eragon, that 2007 movie, so I barely have any familiarity with the series.

. You might ask why companies hire interns or less experienced workers rather than relying 100% on professionals
I figured it was because they are short sighted idiots who value short term profit overnlong term progits given the CEO doesnt keep the company after he feeds off of its carcass and when their Boeing crashes from doing so, or they blownup in an experimental submersible, then they look back and say "oh shit, maybe I should prioritize quality over and maybe I should have paid attention to that marshmallow experiment everyone talks about

Why do I keep seeing articles from people crying about the brain drain in Africa for example?
Maybe that is beyond your scope of knowledge but I am seeing those nations complain. I also am aware of atkeast some instances where spies have helped sneak nuclear engineers out of Iran and put them essentially in witness protection, so at the very least it has harmed Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons.
Also would you agree American labor is superior? There are all types of stories of Indian web developers just being plain terrible for example and we have all experienced hatian nurses and know they are less empathetic. I mean a hatiam nurse will just jam me with a needle and not care while the American born ones seem almost apologetic.
I am really scratching my head at the media coverage on brain drain here. The articles I have been reading suggest it is a major issue but the studies you cite seem to contradict that. I wonder what the media's reasoning for painting that narrative is.

I am a big supporter of Israel but they have been expanding into Palestinian territories which could explain why housing has decreased. They are a very social aggressive people. Like I would never move where I am unwanted but the Jews are just aggressive like that. When I was in Ohio it was funny there was just like almost this Jewish Island surrounded by nothing but ghetto. Whites would have just moved away. Anyway, I think that may explain their housing situation a bit. Just pushing outwards with a complete disregard for their own safety.
This is probably our biggest point of disagreement. With just supply and demand, how do you account for long-term growth, development of technology over time, etc? Why are workers much more efficient today than in centuries past? In the short-term, you can optimize the allocation of widgets, but some allocations allow for more technological growth and efficiency in the future.
I think we agree here actually. On those points. I just don't know that we should be assuming that growth is permanent. We are seeing the end of Moores law but they are making some adjustments in AI that seem to be continuing Moores law for a while. I am not sure how long that can last.
Some of my background is in Marxism and they talk about how flooding labor for example in American agriculture can actually stifle technological development in those areas because the market pressures to need those advancements just go away.
I also am keeping my arguments very narrow. I haven't really taken a position other than that I believe H1B1s can depress wages, due to supply and demand.
I haven't taken a position on whether we should do anything to alter those programs. I am not sure if they bring more good than harm. My gut tells me it helps the United States but harms India for example, to steal all their best talent. It's definitely good for us in the short term, but I also would like to see other countries prosper.
I also wonder about how many people like me that slip through the Cracks. I have a 160 IQ but am a highschool drop out and had to work 2 jobs to support a family. What if instead of H1B1s there could have been some program to recognize somebody like that who could theoretically cure cancer.
Lets also not forget that people like me can be very dangerous. Stupid people can be dangerous sure, but that danger is limited. If we have a shortage of talent then could it be better for society to start banging on doors in the ghetto and then forcing everyone to take an IQ test and then being precise about what we train these people in, and we can be because their options are limited.
I Don't know it's just thought experiments at the moment

Are you saying that the sun shone normally that day in Fatima?
I am not sure about that. I thinknperhaps there was a cloud like mist in front of that, which made it easier to see and I have seen rainbow circles around the sun in the past after a rain. They described the ground as wet so this type of rainbow isn't out of the realm of possibilities. I don't think the sun appeared as it did any other day. It likely had a few things that were unusual about it, or atleast the environment it was witnessed in. If the people had not shown up expecting a miracle I don't think they would have noticed anything and they were occupied by atheistic communists at the time and subverting them so people may have wanted to even play along if it was only say 20% of fools who actually believed they saw something miraculous. The reasons others may have exaggerated would potentially be to "stick it to the man".
It's not an odd thing we even currently have silent conspiracy. For example the left claim to believe that Daniel Penny det out to murder random black people in the infamous day we have heard so much about.
Right wing equivalents don't really exist to that degree because we are less able to lie to ourselves but the falsely professed belief that the election was stolen may be one. Most of us know it wasn't but just want to piss off liberals or we define stolen in a very general and generic way as for it to lose meaning.
You see the response to it was for the RNC to play hardball a bit, which they normally suck ag doing. So the pretending to believe the claim was beneficial. I suppose that some widespread I eternal lie that is not to be spoken of, could have occurred due to the oppression of catholics in that area at the time
I'm not asking whether you think there was a miracle, but whether you think from that location the sun 'appeared and acted significantly different.

A lot of recent studies have challenged this assumption in the fields where immigrants work
I'd have to actually dig into the details of that to completely buy it. I have seen several studies the other direction as well. You say these are recent though and most of the studies I have memorized (the abstracts anyway) are probably several years old.
I tend to agree with the Marxists though on some of these overlapping economic conclusions. Such as the phrase "labor shortages", typically means "I don't like having to pay high salaries and provide good working conditions" . I saw the word shortage a lot before their was a mass influx and a subsequent wage depression of software engineers. The same thing has happened in Trucking and with Nursing, though their wages remained stagnat as a result, and weren't lowered like with software engineers. If you consider inflation than as soon as the trucking and nursing industry made an effort to lower the average age of drivers and strongly encourage Haitians women into nursing than the wages were reduced.
There are so many industries though that this may be limited to just the few I pay attention to. If the H1B1 visas are stuff like nuclear engineer and heart surgeon, I could see those very specialized areas not having an impact on average salary.
most Americans own stock or benefit from lower prices, so driving down wages isn't a bad or good thing for everyone, it depends on what your field is.
I am going into Cyber security so I just don't want to compete with more people TBH, but yes it's a mixed bag as far as winners and losers are concerned
Then there's the long-term benefit of economies of scale and increased aggregate demand.
I just know supply and demand. I know economists tend to think things can grow indefinitely and I disagree. I usually just look at supply and demand and my gut tells me that is all I need to know. Lower the supply of workers and then demand usually increases so price comes up in my paycheck. Increase demands for jobs and when employees outnumber jobs than salaries are low.
I assume that's why housing prices are rising. An increase of the population due to immigration since we are below replacement levels, means more demand for less supply so now it cost 500k to move into a shack

@MAV99
The video you posted is people screaming in English. Which means it is not of Fatima, because Fatima is in Portugal...
Yes which I was up front about. That video was in france
So how does this, or other videos discredit the Miracle of the Sun???? Because some crazy people think they see a miracle when it is not, therefore all sun miracles are false?
I think the best argument that the miracle of Fatima was realistic that an apparent 70k people saw this event. This of course went away for me when that as well as several other videos showing the mass delusions of large crowds that were in a similar fashion to what may have happened in Fatima.
This doesn't disprove the miracle of the sun in Fatima, it just seems like a more probable explanation than a miracle

I think there is a fair criticism that these H1b1 visas drive down wages to a certain extent.
If we think about America's best interest than maybe creating brain drain in developing nations helps us as a whole.
However you always hear about the inferiority of Indian labor. Like try hiring an Indian web developer on fiverr and an American one and the Indian one will typically give inferior results. So does this apply to those who get the H1B1 Visas as well. Are we importing inferior labor? If we are than is it going to harm our infrastructure?
Somebody in Elon's comments posted his job postings for Jr engineers as well and they seemed to average around 80k. American Engineers our of college are typically making 6 figures, so it raises the question. Is there actually a shortage of engineers when you hear of grads struggling to get work? Or is this really about undercutting the market and hiring Indians who don't know better for 80k to do an inferior job to Americans who would cost you 150k?

St Paul and his Road to Damascus moment.
This is what is making me a bit more skeptical of that story as well. Before realizing how easily people are duped and I still don't want to believe it but I literally just watched this documentary of a couple.

I was looking at the Fatima Sun miracle. For those who don't know about it, Google it, but it was a very convincing miracle for me.
There was 70,000 people who were first hand witnesses to the sun dancing around the sky, hurting towards earth than backing off. The sun spinning in place etc. Etc.
I was thinking. This is some solid evidence of God and more specifically evidence for the Catholic faith.
I mean 70,000 people witnessed this. Let's say 25% of that crown is retarded or liars. Than we still have like 50,000 people who will call them on their bullshit.
So I became convinced. No way would there be so many gullible people in one place at one time.
Then it happened. I went on YouTube. I ran into video after video of people with cameras pointed at the sun. The sun would look perfectly normal and they would say it moved, every time a cloud floated in front of it. They would say it was coming at them, whe. It was standing still. I am talking multiple videos of people convinced they are seeing a miracle.
This video is probably the best example I found.
I promise from here on out to be more willing to consider mass delusion as an explanation for things. I didn't want to think mass delusion could could play out this way. I thought of it more like a contagion but I was wrong. This saddens me greatly and I lost a bit of faith today, not just in God and perhaps worse than that. I lost faith in people.

If you're making a claim that's just made up nonsense, I'm going to call you out for spreading made up nonsense. It's not my responsibility to figure out what you're really trying to argue.
If somebody gives me hyperbole like "everyone and their mother is shooting up schools" I am not going to randomly say school shootings are not a problem and nitpick that not technically everyone shoots up schools. I am going to steelman their argument and address the position they were more likely, actually arguing for

There is some divide between the alt right and the tech right lately as indicated by a recent x post by Elon Musk
So the alt right hates indians because well you know they take all the jobs.

Many people don't realize this but Vivek Ramaswamy is Indian as are all of Musks employees as is JD Vance's wife. I hop this clears up why this divide exists for those of you who run in liberal circles and are unaware of this divide
