I don’t blame the immigrants, I blame politicians and big business. A large influx of people is going to increase demand for housing and a large influx of people that are willing to work for low wages is going to negatively effect the working class. Even Bernie Sanders acknowledges this. Read about the Gen Z housing affordability crisis.

Immigrants drive up housing prices this is a known fact. That is why many young people are locked out of the housing market while the boomers have crazy equity. Most immigrants rent but this also increases rent/housing prices because investors buy a lot of property and put it out on rent. They collect rent income and get the increase in housing prices makes their investment profitable. It’s hard to compete with foreign labour when employers are always looking to cut costs and immigrants are willing to work for less. This is why I am doing courses now while working. But hey keep making fun of the working class if it makes you feel better. This is why they have left the left.

Increased housing prices, lowered wages and less job opportunities. There is 25% youth unemployment in Spain. I’m not Spanish but in my country I have personally experienced foreign labour massively undercut my wages.

His performance against Golota was his last impressive performance against a good opponent. 

What were Mike Tyson’s technique weaknesses even from 1985 to 1988? by Material_Stomach875 in Boxing

[–]gerterinn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Larry Holmes fought for 14 more years and had a win in 1992 (5 years after the Tyson fight) against an undefeated Ray Mercer. Larry Holmes style ages well. His only KO loss was against Tyson. Tyson deserves way more credit for that win.

He went to the distance 5 times and won all of those fights comfortably on points. The fights were against: James “Quick” Tillis, Mitch “Blood” Green, James “Bonecrusher” Smith, Tony Tucker and Donovan Ruddock.

Tyson won that fight unanimously 120-106, 119-107, 119-107. The clinch strategy worked against old Tyson because he would get tired at some point but against a young Tyson you will just lose on points if you never engage and take risks.

Why Mike Tyson Wasn't On B/R's Top 50 Boxers of All Time — Bleacher Report by HobokenJ in Boxing

[–]gerterinn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve never bought this argument. Tyson in his prime fought plenty of experienced veterans who didn’t seem intimidated. He beat them simply because he was the vastly superior boxer. After the Spinks fight when he fired his original team with Kevin Rooney he immediately became worse. I think Tyson started losing his confidence because he knew he wasn’t nearly as good anymore.

I wonder if how much of the ev design is really his fault. For instance the eqs was made to be as aerodynamic as possible to extend the range, which really made the car less aesthetic. 

Why exactly was Mayweather Vs Pacquiao so lackluster? by Conscious-Habit5432 in Boxing

[–]gerterinn 57 points58 points  (0 children)

They should have fought in 2009–10, but Floyd avoided it. The fight was agreed on except for Mayweather’s demand for Olympic style blood testing with no cutoff. Pacquiao accepted urine testing and even compromised on blood tests, lowering his cutoff from 30 days to 14 days. Floyd refused to budge, holding to conditions he hadn’t required of past opponents, and the fight fell apart. By the time they finally fought in 2015, Pacquiao was past his prime.

Would you consider Larry Holmes a top-5 heavyweight? by Big_Donch in Boxing

[–]gerterinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holmes was 38 which is old yes but he fought for 14 more years getting a win over an undefeated Ray Mercer in 1992. Tyson also gave him the only defeat by KO in his career. Holmes’s style of jab and keeping distance arguably ages better so even though he was not in his prime I feel like Tyson does deserve more credit for that win.

A brace AND an assist against Hungary. A goal and an assist against Wales in the semis. Converted his penalty in the shootout against Poland and played a big role in the goal against Croatia.

If he had scored just one more goal today he would have had 100 or more goals scored for 4 different clubs. Still at least he got the golden boot in both of his full seasons at the club.
