Maybe you should look into where statistics that are "going around" are sourced from. This seems to be something an anti-immigration lobby cooked to in 2014, which was an artifact of their analysis; they considered workers aged 16-65, and the effect disappeared if you considered workers of all ages.

Trump resurrected it in 2024 to claim that all job growth under Biden had gone to immigrants. It wasn't true then either.

Just so you know, I thought your project was cool, I upvoted it, but I had to retract my upvote after seeing your behavior here in the comments.

If you want to get your work in front of people you will need to learn either to ignore these comments or to respond to criticism in a mature and professional manner. The people who will have the most valuable feedback for you will see this kind of behavior and decide engaging with you is a waste of time, and the only people who will stick around are bullies who enjoy upsetting you.

> If I had to revise me opinion, I guess I'd say I now no longer believe you didn't read the paper, but instead that you don't know HOW to read scientific papers.

This is the kind of opinion you ought to keep to yourself, because it's inflammatory and uninteresting. There's no discussion to be had about your views on their competence. Downvote comments you think are bad without centering some other person's alleged failings in the conversation.

Now that they've confirmed that was in fact what they meant, how have your views on this exchange changed?

Their meaning is very clear to me ("It's not good to be alone, for example one time I was in a lot of danger and a friend helped me").

No, consent was assumed. He makes it very clear that he doesn't ask for consent. "I don't even wait." "You can do anything." We don't even need to speculate about what he meant; he assaulted E. Jean Carroll. This is open and shut.

You've made a serious and personal insult; what do you think commenting like that says about you?
