The birthrate is unfixable, your options are to live in a country with declining standards of living where 50% of the population is elderly like Germany or Italy or to have immigration.

There are no other choices.

Fun fact: After viewing classified material about the CCP's influence on TikTok, the bill to ban TikTok passed committee with a 50-0 vote. Fifty to zero, MAGA + centrists + DSA members were unanimous.

All the accounts bemoaning this seem totally incurious why that might be.

What is the case for giving the CEO of TikTok a prominent seat at the inauguration? Even if you don't want to ban the app, why should the guy be honored?

The only explanation I can think of is that this is an announcement that the administration is open to being corrupted.

[Melissa Chen @MsMelChen]

In the last 24 hours:

- Biden said he won’t enforce the TikTok “ban” that he first proposed

- Trump said he is considering an Executive Order to save TikTok from the “ban” that he first proposed

- The CEO of TikTok is planning on attending Trump’s inauguration and has been granted a seat in a position of honor on the dais

If we cannot win this battle, we certainly will not win the war. Frankly, we don’t even deserve to at this point. Everyone can be bought.

@birrion @GodzillaM18 @stacycay Quite the ratio here! You’re rockin and rollin — not getting a single like on anything you post with every reply anybody makes rebutting the obviously-wrong things you’re saying getting over a dozen. Love to see you posting through it all.

There seems to be a debate on Twitter about the value of high skilled immigration in the US

So here's a bit of data in case that's useful

If you're hospitalized and your physician graduated from a foreign medical school?

You are LESS likely to die than if your physician graduated from a US medical school

Foreign medical graduates are, on average, better than US medical graduates

Because the US attracts the best and brightest physicians from around the world

And it literally saves Americans' lives

— 608 US unicorn founders got their degree abroad
— 44% of unicorn founders are not US born.
— Google, SpaceX, Zoom, Moderna, Whatsapp were founded by immigrants.

They contribute trillions to the economy and employ millions of Americans.

Immigration is America's superpower.

[Caleb Watney @calebwatney]

Leaders in the CCP realize that US high-skilled immigration policy is central to geopolitical competition.

Do we?

When we ask these questions, when there's a dialogue about them — that basically is a Utopia.

i keep being like “i saw megalopolis yesterday” and my friends are like “was it good or bad” which then turns into an exploration of what “good” or “bad” even mean
