if only the people of florida werent so ignorant as to the actual causes of their problems.
Knowing you are an idiot doesn't stop you from making idiot decisions in the future.
Not counting their inability to comprehend who their real enemies are - yeah the cause of your problems is Republicans
Immigration has nothing to do with housing or job markets?
Are you suggesting that the fundamental principles of supply and demand don't count because immigration =/= the ruling class?
You have 0 reading comprehension my friend, I'm also fairly left leaning and anti establishment which is plain as day in my comments.
Definitely must be frustrating to try and (wrongly) attack someone objectively left leaning and anti establishment for being right wing.
Also, what was your portrait of Canada growing up? Exclusively hockey, Donuts, bad coffee, and free healthcare? That's all the national pride/identity you've ever had?
Man, I love it when people stop reading after finding one of their trigger phrases.
Try reading the entire comment next time.
Don't know why I'm wasting my time writing more stuff you won't read, so I'll just call you a dummy now before you fully stop reading this comment too.
I myself am a first generation Canadian, so yeah - kind of a fan of immigration, even if my homeland is arguably better than Canada.
They'll just import people in from around the world to replace lagging birthrate.
Overall birthrate is expected to peak around 2080 so there's still plenty of time to shuffle people around!
In Canada we used to have a serious immigration policy that was part of the Canadian identity, and now we're literally flooding the country with people almost exclusively from 1-2 countries with no qualifications required.
The workforce collectively lost significant bargaining leverage as millions of desperate people continue to saturate job markets and suppress wages.
Plenty of jobsites have no oversight regarding certification, so even educated people lose out because it's cheaper to train a desperate person on the job and pay them next to nothing/under the table instead of hiring an educated workforce with labor rights and who expect a wage that reflects their abilities.
For what it's worth, I know plenty of educated people who are awful at their jobs too. This isn't anti-immigration, it's acknowledgement that immigration is being used to suppress everyone's wages to the exclusive benefit of employers.
So even if all the Western countries get border walls with 100% coverage and catch rates, western governments everywhere will happily throw open the gates for cheap labour regardless of public opinion
America (and I fear soon Canada) is uniquely like this because plenty of media treats all information as facts regardless of its credibility and without consequences.
So any entity can say literally anything, and another entity will report it as credible information. So long as the report reinforces what certain groups of people want to hear, it's immediately accepted as indelible truth from an undisputed authority making anyone who disagrees automatically wrong and probably the Devil.
Now apply this to entire regions that have homogenized media ownership that has a certain political leaning, and you get wall to wall propaganda of whatever "real" news you want people to feel/think, and people who actively reject anything that doesn't support their fantasies.
Wasn't a big part of Katrina's destruction from the hurricane effectively stalling over the southern US which caused prolonged and massive local damage?
Not trying to discount either event, mostly worried about the time we get a stalled Helene sized hurricane
Third parties in the US are almost exclusively tools for siphoning votes off the main parties.
But if you still think government runs the show you are out to lunch. Corporations have been dictating policy for a long long time in the US, and the laws are only making it easier for corporations to directly own politicians.
The only one who will change this is if a huge amount of voters organizing and demanding change. Like current levels Republican stochastic terrorism, but for things like healthcare, education, workers rights, consumer rights etc.
Corporations spend a lot of time and money taking these things away from us, and we've been generally watching the middle class disappear for decades.
It will take sustained, active, pressure, and vigilance from the people to make corporate money is not worth it and politicians make decisions based on benefitting their constituents.
Unfortunately, nowadays most constituents only care about making life difficult for others instead of better for everyone including themselves.
I've heard rabbits being carried off by owls in the night also sounds like a child being murdered
The cross alignment with the background is killing me.
Blue swoops in way lower on the left.
Isn't carpentry like, his thing?? Come now.
I don't particularly think his supporters matter, as they are mostly sheep and not one of the main facisim roots.
It's the fact that more than half of America's entire media apparatus is entirely behind Trump.
They dominate airwaves and have entire control over several local information ecosystems allowing them to brainwash entire populations with wall-to-wall propaganda that is completely aligned in its message of refuting and obfuscation of reality.
Regardless if the people are racist, scared, simple minded, trained to blindly accept specific authority or whatever, is mostly irrelevant in a society with journalistic integrity, and a non-corporate/private interest owned media.
It's no surprise that some people believe outrageous, impossible, contradictory, claims when every reality authority available to you exclusively tells you coordinated lies.
Yeah, but you put a quarter in their shopping carts guys! What an organized and crime free society guys.
Their subway is super clean guys we can't compete with freedom like that guys.
Guys, Tucker said groceries are cheaper than America, guys. We've been duped into thinking life is OK guys. But also lowering prices in America is also communism guys. Russia has literally the least communist history guys, America is the real Marxist guys.
Trust me guys, American freedom has nothing on Ruzzian freedom guys. All of the benefits with literally 0 drawbacks guys, it's insane how little consequences there are to living in Ruzzia guys.
There's nothing more free than a brutally oppressive police state run by a dictator guys, it's the secret recipe for freedom guys. Trust me bro.
And then everything too big to fail! Too big to fail = too big.
It's not like the knowledgeable people, or systems/infrastructure all disappear if a business fails. Business is basically a bunch instructions for people moving a bunch of shit around for money. Literally nothing about it is so unique it cannot be reproduced.
And then also Physically split up Elon, billionaires need to learn how to exist in a society of laws and consequences instead of above it.
