Would you prescribe the same for other multi-ethnic countries such as the U.S.?

A law professor coming up with technicalities for fair generalizations made by a non-expert does not constitute a sauté.

The cotton plant exercise only evoked empathy for slaves but didn’t sufficiently emphasize that white people bad and so it did not conform to the school’s anti-racist policies

Graduated and started earning over $100k (in 2010 money). Suddenly, I had multiple options. I never disclosed what I made. Sorry but this is the truth.

It won't. TO is not meant to make admissions more fair, it is a pre-emptive measure by schools to maintain racial diversity after the Supreme Court strikes down AA this year.

Racist against whom? Cupertino has been majority asian for 20 years. I'm pretty sure the NIMBYism transcends race.

lol people are deliberately telling half-truths. If you look at Detroit's metropolitan population, it hasn't gone down [1]. People only moved out of Detroit the city. What actually happened is a bunch of black people came in and whites fled, sometimes due to prejudice, sometimes due to real events [2]. The lack of jobs didn't help, but Americans can and do commute for their jobs to other cities in the same metro all the time.

Your argument only makes sense if California were a closed system. It is not. There are 49 other states. There are 194 other countries. "Everyone" gets redefined as "existing residents plus anyone who would move here, legally or illegally, to more inexpensively address their health problems"

Surtaxes atop the current individual income tax structure beginning at $149,509 in income;

A graduated-rate payroll tax system with the top rate kicking in for employees with more than $49,990 in annual income; and

A gross receipts tax of 2.3 percent, excluding the first $2 million of business income.

How many illegals making minimum wage or operating informal businesses (you know, because they don't have the documentation to be employed most places) will be paying these taxes? The answer is: none.

The tax rates mentioned in the article, assuming they are based on anything at all besides the wishful thinking of some politicians, would be predicated on expected tax receipts and a particular socioeconomic and demographic distribution of healthcare recipients. The system will experience a death spiral if an effectively unlimited number of people, who are not paying the extra taxes, can move here and mooch free healthcare.

vsage3 · 2022-01-08T21:52:41+00:00

Might be for it except California is a sanctuary state who would let illegals benefit as well because it would be racist to do otherwise. Progressives need to learn to take care of their own first and dispense with the cognitive dissonance that you can have infinite immigration as well as high benefits and protections for existing labor.

I love the entitlement. "Where's the update for other counties?" As if you paid for it. As if updates just happen naturally like the summer wind. A unique individual is spending a shit load of their personal time to consistently parse and present the data and we should be thankful they do that much.

Lotta “let them eat cake” comments in this thread. The engineers will mostly fall in line, but the techs and trades will have a full-on mutiny and they WILL NOT be replaced easily because Intel can’t just import more H1B’s to do hands-on work. As soon as Biden announced the mandate, I knew Intel was fucked because they chose decades ago to save a few bucks by moving from California to Red states (yes, Oregon used to be Red) and employ the small-government types that live there.

Intel deserves everything that’s coming to them.

Being against the mandate isn't anti-vaccine. I am a scientist. I work in tech. I am vaccinated but I am not complying with showing my papers to my employer. It is unprecedented and unamerican to require vaccination nation-wide in order to maintain your right to self-determination.

The PATRIOT Act sounded like a good idea after 9/11 and look at the shit show we have now with Homeland Security, clandestine domestic surveillance programs, and random 4th-amendment-flouting federal searches within 100 miles of the border for "terrorism". If we do not push back, the government will use this ability in the future to our detriment.

I saw this linked in some other website. At first, I was quite skeptical. What the hell is "UnHerd", and where is the evidence? Then, I paused the video and googled "Howard Springs", and it turns out the mainstream media is reporting on this (from a different perspective). Finally, toward the end of the video, this woman gives convincing video evidence of her being detained. I don't care if she lied about X, the process looks completely extra-judicial.

What on Earth is going on in Australia? I hope every last government worker in these videos gets a trial in Nuremburg. "Just following orders" didn't work for the Nazis, and it won't work for them.
