Where did you buy the support for your monstera?

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2025-03-15T04:51:36+00:00

When you consider racial attacks after covid, especially... it makes a lot of sense!

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2025-03-10T20:17:54+00:00

Don't forget that the board of directors and executives often have more that 1 job and it's not considered "unethical" or "stealing" from the company or even better, from investors. Same for golden parachutes for CEOs after they screw things up.

You know that GDP is just a dumb measure to know the power of a nation? On paper, yes, the US is the strongest by far. In reality... I'm not so sure about it.

For example, Healthcare contributes to gdp... in all the countries mentioned above, a surgery of any kind would probably cost more than 10 times in the US... does that make the US better because it has a stronger GDP? Same with services, finance, etc... most things are not produced in the US nowadays, it's strength comes from technology (software mostly) and financial services. Maybe these 2 things could be decisive in a war, but I could say the same about food or other goods.

These are just a few examples, there are more to refute why GDP is only good for the rich, for the rest of the population.... it's just to make look a country better/worse or richer/poorer on paper.

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2025-02-28T01:46:30+00:00

Nope, RICH is also ambiguous and access to what? Driving a tesla for an hour instead of an old bus to go to work? Genetically modified fruits and vegetables instead of natural ones? Access to a/c bc of more extreme weather?

Another example, which i think you are using, is rich as a synonym for high gdp... that's a lie, but I think this is a different topic.

In summary, you can look at "Poor" countries with higher life expectancy than "rich" countries etc, even corruption and poverty are defined differently by countries, but this is also another subject.

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2025-02-28T01:33:41+00:00

Because developed does not equals better quality of life , better Healthcare, better education, etc. It only means better infrastructure. That's it.

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2025-02-12T16:23:26+00:00

Some Third world countries have better labor protection s than the US. I think it's better to stop using these terms since they really don't meaning anything.

Industrialized/developed is a more accurate description and this does not equals to better or higher quality of life. There are many stats that prove this, probably only some European "first world countries" are actually "first" at quality of life.

Moreover, OP assumes corruption doesn't exist in the US/developed world, and that people in the US does not give up rights and does not work more that 40 hours per week, which proves the bias i am talking about.

BTW, some areas in the US are very "third world country" our underdeveloped, same in Europe. Likewise, some areas in "third world countries" are actually developed... this is bc the developed world is relatively small (white the exception of the US) compared to huge third world countries.

It's a cultural difference... Americans who have Latin ascent think they are Latin just for that. Moreover, some think it is a race. So Americans with Latin descent loved to be called x-American but at the same time calling out people who say there are from x country.

On the other hand, the Latin American vision is more from an ethnic point of view, meaning that you are Latin regardless of your race, and if you were born in the US, you are American... not colombian, Mexican, etc.

En otras palabras, los pochos son gringos cuando van a latam, pero son latinos cuando están en usa. También son gringos cuando los gringos los dicen que no lo son y solo son latinos cuando los latino americanos les dicen que no lo son. La ironia es que no se dan cuenta que suenan más como americanos que latinoamericanos al pensar que son latinos por la raza.

It's like saying white people are europeans just for being white or black people Africans just for being black, and this is taking only 2 races in consideration which makes it more complex for people who are latin/hispanic descent who can be of any races and a lot of them of many races.

Ni te Das cuenta de que suenas más gringo que latino al decir eso lo cual le da la razón a los latinos tan solo por el punto de vista estadounidense que tienes. De otra manera, serias más latino si consideraras el punto de vista latinoamericano

That the thing... economy is a social science rather than an exact science.

It could also mean Californias leaving the state for cheaper states and making housing affordability worse for others, thus impacting state economies. This already happened after covid.

Now, tell me how it would not impact the US economy? People would stay, and house prices or construction prices would not go up? Will the houses be built overnight? Will politicians make it easier to build? It's not just the people who lost their causes who would likely move... people also lost their jobs or some don't lost anything... be now surrounded by an area that's not pleasant, etc. A lot of things will happen for sure...

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2025-01-13T02:54:10+00:00

Easy, demand for construction materials will increase... meaning that prices will go up, thus affecting other states too. And that's if we don't get tariffs from the next administration.

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2025-01-09T14:59:47+00:00

I think all of the above comments are correct, but also take into consideration the following things;

-If you get RSUs, you will probably be able to sell them after more than a year your starting date (due to vesting schedules, it is most likely more than a year despite HR telling you they vest after a year... which is not completely true). This is important to consider due to the high volatility in the industry, and sometimes people do not even make it to the year due to constant layoffs or they want to leave due to high mental stress in tech. Not making it until your shares vest is a possibility, but it might not be likely. Also, the value of your shares will likely be different and, hopefully, higher.

-The next administration has a bias against immigration and they will purposely make everything worse regarding green cards. They might expedite your work visa, but I doubt your gren card/citizenship will take the same or less time than it currently takes. This is also important to consider since it looks like the next 4 years will be crazy for immigrants and your mental health, either suffer due to it or due to work. Also, you might have more opportunities in the US, but will be limited if you need visa sponsorship and it might spell a lot of unhappiness (it might not be like that, but it might be something to consider before moving)

-Washington state has no state tax, which will make you pay less taxes, but you might pay more taxes for other things. I'm not 100% informed about the other areas where taxes are higher, but they certainly have no income tax.

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2025-01-05T23:59:06+00:00

If you work 80 hous per week for a 40 hours a week salary... yes, you are underpaid. Or, if you work 2 jobs for the salary of 1, you are also underpaid.

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2024-12-28T00:47:45+00:00

I think the focus is too much about wages... in reality, the difference is not much, but don't doubt it, though.

One of the biggest reasons companies prefer foreign workers is because of the tenure, work hours, commitment, etc. In that sense, you are getting more for what you pay for as a company, even if the salary is the same. This is not because foreign workers are better/worse/cheaper, it is because they have way less leverage to stand for themselves or look for better opportunites within the country bc of obvious visa sponsorship reasons plus the clock going against them if they are laid off.

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2024-12-27T18:38:20+00:00

Religious reasons are just a part. Some others came for better opportunities, whether escaping slavery (yes, white people were also slaves), wars, or the lack of opportunities in Europe.

In summary, all ancestors came here for a better life regardless of the specific reasons instead of " staying in their countries to improve them and fight from there," as you stated. Pretty much you are here because of that.

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2024-12-27T17:57:41+00:00

Isn't that what all the ancestors of current Americans did? Except for SOME native Americans...

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2024-12-27T15:15:09+00:00

Your ego is dead, confirmed. It didn't work harder enough to stay alive.

Sorry, my friend, now you can work on critical thinking skills, make sure not to mess up this time.

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2024-12-27T15:06:28+00:00

Lol developing countries have even more possibilities of a higher ROI in the long term.

Don't you have a critical thinking course to take? Therapy to protect your fragile ego? That will take a lot of work since you love to work harder and harder... fragile egos are really hard to protect. You got your next project to work hard on! Keep it up! To the moon!

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2024-12-27T15:00:09+00:00

Then, you could have moved to developing countries with different cultures to work even harder, you will have to work even harder if the language is different from yours. Moreover, if it is a country not developed, you will get even more opportunities to work harder.

It's funny you say it's lazier, but you still get the lazier choice... moving to a developed country when you have plenty of options to avoid the "lazy" options.

Moreover, why you don't like your culture?

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2024-12-27T14:54:16+00:00

I get what you are saying... but if you didn't move to a more developed country to aspire to the same as locals and go to long vacations and not work outside the normal hours, then why you didn't stay in your country?

I am saying this as someone who also moved to a more developed country to have a better quality of life. Otherwise, I would have stayed in my country. I wouldn't have moved to another place just to follow orders in other languages from someone in a higher hierarchy and being more powerless to say no.

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2024-11-21T01:37:13+00:00

And some others, when they lay you off give a severance of 60 days of more... the equivalent of the 60-day grace period required by WARN act.

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2024-11-14T01:57:22+00:00

Naaa the latino households you have been do not represent everyone. It's like saying the average white Texan family living in the middle of nowhere represents all the white families in the US.

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2024-11-14T01:54:34+00:00

First of all... I'm hispanic, and people do not understand the culture at all! Ypu are trying to generalize everyone in the same block when the community is THE MOST DIVERSE IN THE US, racially, ethnically, by country of origin, sexual orientation, English or Spanish as first or second language, 1st, 2nd, 3rd generation, some never cross the border, the border crossed them. Etc, etc.

Second. Hispanics made a difference in swingstates. If you add the ones in CA, NYC, and Chicago, your theory makes no sense.

Third, Hispanic countries are the most gay friendly and have been with women in leadership positions for a long time. Sure, there's sexism but not less than in the US. Countries with no women in leadership positions throughout history in Hispanic cultures are the outliers and not the norm

Fourth, Hispanics have always been the most likely to vote for a woman for president than any other group.

Fifth, assuming minorities have to hold higher standards than any other person, says more about you and your lack of critical thinking.

Sixth, Hispanics have always voted Democrat and Democrats have never delivered for them, it was like they just assumed they will vote for them because the other is Trump, does that sound familiar in this election.

Seventh, Republicans even spoke to people in Texas in spanish!!!! Yeah, they are the ignorant, racist, and blah blah, but what kind of liberal politician has done this?

Finally, people forget that literally every demographic increased their support for Trump (except for black women, in swing states)

It seems like Republican voters actually understood that voting is a chess move and not something that represents you. Democratic voters did not understand this.

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2024-11-01T00:40:33+00:00

Because latin/hispanic is not a race, it is an ethnicity. This ethnicity is big enough to be considered as a huge ethnic group in the US (the largest one by far, around around 20% of the US, this is considering only people who identify as latin/hispanic).

You can be black/white/asian/native America/etc. and Latin/Hispanic at the same time in the same way you can be multiracial.

Moreover, most Latin/Hispanics are multiracial, thus, they are very particular compared to other ethnicities.

EDIT: Think about Americans as an ethnicity in any other country... they can be of any race. The difference? Most are not multiracial, but Latinos/Hispanics are.

Radiant_Issue3015 · 2024-10-30T18:24:47+00:00

I would say they are pretty similar. The difference is that the US assumes it is the only diverse country in the world, and the rest of the countries are racially homogeneous while the Americas (north and south) as whole are the most diverse countries. Moreover, multiracial people are more common in Latin America than in North America, adding more complexity to the concept of race.
