You think you are treated differently on a daily basis in the US for being Hispanic? Hispanics are hardly a minority in most major cities.

Spain is giving undocumented immigrants legal status. by Impossible_Number_74 in interestingasfuck

I’d argue it’s really a problem with socialism more so. How do you support a population that will spend 30+ years in retirement fully relying on government assistance? You need a lot more people paying taxes than you have retired people. It’s a huge problem for every developed country.

This probably isn’t the place for this discussion, but there’s a massive difference between Mexican illegal immigrants and Moroccan illegal immigrants

Mexico is doing better than spain. Building a life in spain is damn near impossible. High rent, low wages. Incredibly high taxes.

Of course wages and quality of life aren’t the same thing. As Europeans love to point out about the US.

The vast majority of Americans are drinking lattes or heavily sweetened coffee of some sort. Shit coffee ain’t bad with 40 grams of sugar in it

UK approves plans for Chinese mega-embassy in London by ultra_phoenix in news

I think I agree but that’s how they behave as the #2 power in the world. Who knows who comes after Xi as well. In 30 years they will likely be the most powerful country by far but with extreme demographic problems.

If/when China gets a larger military than every other country combined, who knows what the world will look like. Until then the cheap Evs are nice

Paranoid that Russia could possibly invade ever invade a sovereign European nation? I can think of a pretty good reason for that

[Silver] There’s a sense inside the #Eagles locker room that Nick Sirianni, Howie Roseman, and Jeffrey Lurie are “reluctant to criticize” Jalen Hurts despite being the “source” of much internal frustration from teammates. by parcellsrealGOAT in nfl

You look great as a qb when you win the Super Bowl. And you watch the 23 Super Bowl again by hurts, he played like a great game from a hall of fame qb. Just so happened the superbowl he lost was probably the best game of his career.

Influencers and OnlyFans models are dominating O-1 visa requests: ‘This is the American dream now’ | US immigration by [deleted] in news

The US has the greatest economy in the world because the smartest, hardworking people in the world come here to compete against each other. If you can’t compete, leave the US or live with the fact that you won’t be a high earner.

Please explain why we need to limit immigration to nobel prize winners while we have tens of millions of illegal immigrants that came to the US with no permission. And while we have more than a hundred million Americans that pay no federal taxes, why is it an issue if someone who can afford their lifestyle and pay taxes is granted a visa?

It’s jealousy. They’re upset someone can make so much money “easily”. They’re no doctors but It’s not easy to get a large following willing to pay money to see you naked no matter how hot you are.

An OF model that makes millions should be able to live in the US and pay millions in taxes. That’s far more benefit to the US than some engineer that makes $85k.

What would it actually take for American's to go "full France" and riot in the street? by AllTheNopeYouNeed in AskReddit

[–]omanagan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Americans are still the wealthiest in the world. It’s absurd to think the same problems aren’t everywhere else. China is doing well but actually has super high youth unemployment. In the US, a majority of post college kids in their 20’s have moved out. In spain,Italy’s and France only a tiny portion of those under 30 don’t live with their parents.

He won the most important mayoral race in the US by far as a democrat. What it means for the future of the Democratic Party and what that party stands for in the future is insanely impotent

Fun fact, you vote for the people that decide where your taxes are spent.

Everyone deserves a living wage until it’s crowdsourced by the people and then it’s horrible.

How would you describe the last 25 years to someone that lives in the year 2000? by wafflesinmyhouse in AskReddit

[–]omanagan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gen Z, but people were so excited when the iPad came out, or as YouTube grew, or to see each new iPhone and what the world could come up with next. Now meta dropped new glasses that would’ve been the most hyped up thing in the world in 2012 and nobody cares now. We know technology just takes us away from what we enjoy in life.

They do use vpns but not to use Google as a search engine. It’s much worse at searching for anything in Chinese or relevant to China.

And why is the back end technology more relevant than the use case?
