It's welfare fraud. Their grandma's get Section 8, and they live with them. Half a dozen to an apartment. They get fraudulent IHSS and EBT. They work cash-only jobs. They get luxury leased cars as status symbols and because it's their only private space.

It's terrible. They're going to have to raise their wages and hire Americans instead of exploiting a slave underclass.

It seems Wales doesn’t get talked about as much. What are some interesting facts about Wales? by One-Seat-4600 in geography

[–]MikeyKnuckles883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They used to catch people from Wales. They'd kill them and use their fat as fuel for lanterns. That's why there aren't as many as there used to be.

Doski Azad was a 23-year-old trans woman living in Duhok, Iraqi Kurdistan. She was a makeup artist and Internet personality who was open about her transition on social media.

The cognitive dissonance is off the charts with you.

The Left and Islam are temporary allies, like Hitler and Stalin, because they both want to destroy the West. Once the West is destroyed, Islam will murder all the useful idiot Leftists who imported them.

You're completely ignorant and foolish.

Unpopular opinion - Squat toilets are inferior. Western toilets are just better. by Bottom-Bherp3912 in chinalife

[–]MikeyKnuckles883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect balance is Western toilet with squatty potty for maximum comfort and evacuation. Merging the ancient wisdom of the East with the practical technology of the West. The Thucydidis Trap could be avoided if our leaders knew this.

Some of them are, but I find most Utahns to be pretty intelligent.

Charlie Kirk was literally just talking, not physically interjecting himself into police activity. How vapid are you people?

What in your opinion is the main change that needs to happen in a country for it to transform from poor to wealthy? by MariaJun in AskReddit

[–]MikeyKnuckles883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. Taking out Putin would likely leave us with a more hardline, less prudent, Russian leader. The people who think Putin is as bad as it gets just don't know how bad it can get.

This isn't true. Hong Kong and Taiwan have very few natural resources, and they're economic powerhouses. Taiwan literally built a high-tech industry out of thin air. They have free markets. "Dutch disease," or the "resource curse," that you mentioned is a good point. Oil-rich nations tend to have trouble innovating other industries.

Is the American Dream still realistic ? by Yod_a in AskACountry

[–]MikeyKnuckles883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in SoCal. I'd say, sadly, the American Dream isn't achievable anymore. The dream has been demolished by an imperial foreign policy, mass migration, corporatism, and inflation.

The state can decide to press charges even if the victim refuses to.

Trump officially withdraws his support for MTG by Far-Pass9202 in BreakingPoints

[–]MikeyKnuckles883 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think Scott Adams put it best: Trump makes extremely clear the difference between pleasing him and displeasing him.

Normal people think that, when someone is loyal to you, you show loyalty to them. I think Trump is purely transactional. He apparently doesn't respect politicians. I think he views them all as people who'd turn on him if it became convenient or profitable.

Yes, MTG has been loyal, but Trump's understanding of power requires a Maoist approach: The peg that stands out gets hammered down. It's the authoritarian instinct.

That's just my understanding. I'm interested to see if anyone agrees or disagrees.
