@RyanWeather No offense, but this isn’t even remotely close to “out of control” by Earth’s standards. This is one of the nicest periods in its existence and we happen to live in it. The likelihood that this lasts forever is close to nil. Trying to change that is futile.
@Alonso_GD What’s being criticized is the assumption that a life made on a temporary visa will be as secure as a permanent one. If you enter into a 30 year mortgage on a temporary visa, is it the American government’s obligation to keep you there?
@tobitac No pity here. My wife had to wait in her country of residence, apply, and then come here. We never loved each other any less, even if it was stressful. She’s a citizen now. If you truly want citizenship you will do what it takes.
@PaulHerzog3 Importing people who accept lower wages keeps our wages here low, while remittances take that money outside of our national and local economies. Simultaneously cost of living is through the roof. There are real issues behind this larger than jobs alone.
@lcs212415393 @theo I don’t dispute that need, but it needs to be weighed against the broader needs of our population. Today we honor what corporations ask for without truly considering the impacts to wages, housing, livability, and infrastructure. It marginalizes us.
@TicTocTick Isn’t he being chauffeured around anyways? And doesn’t he fly private? Doesn’t really matter what car you own if you can pay someone to drive and fly you everywhere.
@SirCumference98 @KBP9a91 @infern0o0 We don’t. I spend 7% of my income on it and get to keep 59% of that in an HSA that I keep for life. You pay far more in taxes for yours and you keep none of it. I did a bill comparison with couple in Surrey and they were astounded how much you pay vs us.
@juicystar1908@PaloAltoNtwks@JobsNowPR I am one but live in another state. We exist, I promise! I am certain there are at least a few dozen of us in Dallas. Honestly, most of the work can be done remotely since their big products are virtualized and SaaS-based.
@paleonormie Something remarkable about being poor in the rural South: you’ll have your own trailer, land, tons of cars but it just looks like shit. Still got way more than their urban poor counterparts.
@OutsidersP36679@PeteHegseth Why is this getting so many likes? This is one of the lowest IQ takes so far. You’d have to lack any ability to visualize spatial transformations to say this.
@KimiGoatanelli I’m from Florida. Just got back from Surrey today after a week and a half. No AC the whole trip. It was warm, slightly uncomfortable at worst. You are severely exaggerating how bad you have it at 30C. The humidity levels are mild, on par with California coast at worst.
