Yeah, I'm not dismissing the accuracy of his essay and that what he describes could a problem, but it seems to be something he is personally terrified about (i.e. replacement theory).

What could this possibly have to do with immigration? (/s)

serious now: I'm really not sure if it's more likely that we would embrace immigrants, or help poor (meaning most people after paying rent and groceries) people, or support the youths. None of these seem especially likely. 


should be in Ai thread.
There was a similar article in the Wall St Journal today about the coming population armageddon and how AI will save us!

The question for our country’s 250th birthday is how many more birthdays we want it to have, both for its babies and as a country.


Lyman Stone has a lot of ideas that could be called "old-fashioned", or worse. Also, he's a "pronatalist" who's opposed to IVF.

After the win on Friday, Trump posted....

Congratulations to Team USA on their Big Win, 4-1, over a very good Paraguay team. Keep it going! President DJT

Do you think he knows that the only reason our 2 goal striker, Folarin Balogun, can play for the US is a refusal by an airline to let his very pregnant mother leave the country?

I think that efficiency might not be a good metric either. I'm more concerned about the error rate. And more importantly, if "illegal" immigrants are going to work every day, shrinkwrapping chickens and peeling shingles off of old houses, what's the problem? Give 'em a green card and say "welcome." 

Sounds good, but unfortunately solutions have to confirm to (political) reality. That reality is currently shaped by Republican/Heritage policies with almost no meaningful opposition. Amnesty is not in the cards in most political configurations (even with a Democratic trifecta).

You really are a fucking asshole.  Nowhere do I mention race, ethnicity or skin color in any of my arguments.

You however, keep injecting it into your arguments.  You are the real racist.  It is the only means you have of making your case.


You are truly entertainingly hilarious. You have struck out what someone says & replaced it with "this is what you meant to say" so many times I've lost count.  You go in hard until you get pushed back & then play the poor-little-old-me victim.  It used to upset me until I started looking at you as morbidly entertaining, kind of like Stranger Things.  Now I just drop in once in a while for the entertainment value & you never fail to disappoint.  You'd be a great case study for a social work grad student, check out your local university for opportunities to make some mad money.

This part, right freekin' here ^^^^^^^. You want to come work, pay taxes, contribute? Come on in. Want to spend your paycheck at the local grocer? get a haircut at the barber? go to the theater and see movies on Saturday, Hang at the bar on Friday, take the kids to the park on Sunday? what's the issue?  Be a part of the community. It's more than most Americans do.

Had a nail in my tire last week dead flat. Worker from a place being built behind us flagged me and asked if I needed help throwing the spare on. Not needed, I aired up with a portable compressor and told him that I'd just hit the llantera (tire shop). He came back over to watch while I aired up, he was impressed with the portable compressor and we had a brief chat. He makes a point to come to the edge and say buenos dias when we go by with the dogs now. The people here are all in it together it's a good feeling, and they are the hardest working people I've ever been around (and I've managed Romanians).

I saw an article just today that ICE has pulled some Native Americans in Minneapolis off the street already. No details as to if they were later released.  Cause y'know, so of them pickups are catch-n-release.
