The saddest thing is people can only think about this topic in economic terms. People mock the "line must go up" thinking in capitalism, yet become enraged when you question this thinking with regards to migrants and the economy. That long term the economic benefits are marginal to non-existent is almost irrelevant.

But racial distinctions are. So they're relevant in every case, whereas class distinctions are not.

Whites are naive thinking about melting pots and letting go of their identity while other groups do not.

Cost of living has risen significantly since the immigration and nationality act in 1965. California has seen the most immigration has one of the highest costs of living. Income inequality has increased drastically. Denmark's recent statistics showed a net tax burden on migrant families, even after successive generations. Cultural cohesion has been destroyed in America to the point people actually think there never was a dominant culture in America, it was always values based. It's not even a country anymore, just a giant corporation. Diversity is supposedly an unquestionable good, yet every statistic shows people are more isolated than they have ever been.

Why not? Hispanics have La Raza, they have a concept of racial unity Americans do not.

The % of the population who are immigrants is the highest it's ever been. You now have signs in 2 languages. The American south will be integrated into Hispanic culture, not the other way around.

Common sense, everyone knows it except the white liberal middle class. Why do prison populations group themselves by race and not class?

White Americans didn't integrate into Native American cultures, so I don't see your point.

They haven't integrated and they never will. There were leaks showing Amazon's union busting efforts for Whole Foods - the more diverse a city, the less likely locations there were to unionize.

People know adding a lane to a highway doesn't reduce traffic but think adding more apartments reduces rents. The solution to homelessness is clear - arrest them.

I'm a landlord and have been giving my tenants the option to tip. It's well deserved for all the extra work making sure they have a nice place to stay.

The Vision Pro is just combining a screen with horse blinders. Absolutely depressing product and laughable that companies pretend that these technologies bring people closer together.

>Not joking. Checkout VR porn. Then it hits you. Holy shit this is the future of media and entertainment. Something about perspective in VR gives a human touch of interactivity not possible with other media forms.

One of the most pathetic things I've ever heard. Gushing about immersive cuckoldry.

Apple keeps focusing the privacy discussion on things like 3rd party trackers, since this doesn't affect their business model in any way but gives them good PR. They do nothing against the more serious issue of government surveillance, they even let the government run their iCloud servers in China. Their interests align with consumers and they align with governments even more.
