Thousands of homes are sitting empty and millions of jobs are unfilled. Public services represent a fraction of a percent of the budget. You don’t understand economics and the entire premise of this argument is hoping the people reading it don’t understand economics either. 

These are lies you have been told and how sad it is that you believe them is directly dependent on your age. 

The economy is neither zero-sum nor finite.

Well, sure, that’s all very logical if you ignore the fact that the economy literally runs on people, and more people that need services, create more jobs, which creates more money, which creates more housing and funding for public services...

Actually what happens is they spend money, which increases the local economy, which creates more jobs and funds more services. 

All immigration policies should start with the basic premise that the mere geographical circumstances of birth, i.e. the piece of land any particular person happened to be on when their head first emerged from their mother’s vagina, has no impact on that person’s basic right to human dignity. My status as an “American…

Yes. He is getting off the Trump train to save himself, not anyone else. 

That’s one of the most wildly misunderstood tenets of Christianity. “Taking the Lord’s name ‘in vain’” doesn’t mean uttering “God damned” - it means vanity. It’s dropping God’s name for self-enrichment. “God told me to run for president. God wants you to send me money. God loves me but hates my enemies.”

Unions make their money off management fees of benefits for employees. It’s a per member income calculation. If a union doesn’t have to manage your health insurance, their per member calculation drops. Unions are not looking out for their members here, they are looking out for their management team.

Dear Chase, I feel like I can call you Chase because you and me are so alike. I’d like to meet you one day, it would be great to have a catch. I know I can’t throw as fast as you but I think you’d be impressed with my speed. I love your hair, you run fast. Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me…

“It’s a comprehensive look from my perspective of all the challenges I have faced as it relates to issues around racism and the things that I’ve tried to do around the issues of racism,”

The way the right wing nut jobs whine and cry about these peaceful protests, you would think that they arrested and detained families and separated children from them in concentration camps or gunned down innocent people in the streets.

Conservatives will point to this and say Race has only been a problem for 26 years.

How long before Kid and “The Nuge” are caught buggering each other in an Upper Peninsula deer stand?

This reads like poetry and I love it.

Yesterday at the dog park a woman pointed out that whenever my hound bays her butthole flares. She kept insisting I look. I told her I'd take her word for it. But then everyone kept talking about it so I told them to stop staring at my dog's butthole. Someone suggested I get her an eye patch, another person said it…

I took my dog on a walk today. Saw what I thought was a pretty big, fuzzy moth nestled into some tree bark. Took my husband and our friend over to see it. They did not think it was very big.

I have a bedspread I really like, so I bought the exact same bedspread in a different color on sale a few weeks ago. It arrived last night. It’s not the same. It’s different. In small but very noticeable ways, so I’ve spent about two hours analyzing the differences.
