In three weeks, they’re absolutely giving him his wall, aren’t they?

But what if he was really talking about sealing a wooden ship named September with $3,500 worth of dollar bills in exchange for the voter records?

one time when i was in first grad this girl bited me

The commission—which was dissolved by the president in early January after months of ineffective saber-rattling and pushback from across the political spectrum—reportedly payed $3,500 in September for nearly 50 million Texas voter records.

in the administration’s best interest to make saving them a congressional problem rather than one that Trump created.

B. That’s demonstrably false. Trump could have kicked the Dreamers out on Day 1. All he had to do was rescind DACA.

HAHAHAHAHA!

That editorial is right.

To be fair, the policy reasons for the diversity lottery were always horseshit (it was basically done to let in a ton of Irish people in the ‘60s) and chain migration has caused a huge visa backlog that genuinely is a problem.

If minimum wage were 2 dollars or 20, we’d still have this happen. Automation is here. Human society drifts toward technological improvement without fail.

we’ll be compelled to increase the top marginal income tax rates

stop it with all the facts and stuff. he wants his conspiracy and doesn’t need you ruining it with the real world and actual facts and whatnot

none of the Patriots’ players knelt during the national anthem this season

The only reason UBI is not being implemented at this point is because we have very, very low unemployment.

He should look into why much of Fast 5 was not filmed onsite in Brazil (because the actors were mobbed by fans, and it became a huge problem for the safety of everyone involved) and why The Rundown didn’t film in the Amazon (switched to Hawaii) because the crew was robbed at gunpoint while scouting the location.

This has nothing to do with minimum wage. Automation, and the larger effort to reduce labor costs, will march on regardless of whether we pay people humane wages or not. All raising the minimum wage does is accelerate the inflection point at which time machines become economically feasible over human labor.

Jeezum Crow...it’s a pilot program. Let them prove the basic function works first, then add in modules (or whatever they’re called) as it goes into full scale use.

Plus, there is the resounding uncertainty about how this type of automation will affect the millions of Americans who making their livelihoods working retail jobs.

The automation elephant in the room has been around since society started. The solution is to raise/educate people for other jobs, not to hang on to old and inefficient methods.

I’m not sure how to feel about understanding all of it
