@RealHickory @elonmusk It's honestly offensive that Americans don't perceive themselves as #1 in something for once. Sure, UK has arrested 62k people over 5 years for speech-related stuff, while ICE arrests 50k per month without people even saying anything. Brought to you by Republicans in power.

[robk @robk_dev]

@neptune633 @elonmusk ..is what your fearstocking local politicians, influencers, and TV presenters would like to scare you with, but if you put into perspective how ICE is arresting 50x more people per day for even smaller/non-existing offences, you'd see that pointing at UK is a distraction

[robk @robk_dev]

@elonmusk 62000 arrested over 5 years, or 30 something arrests per day for things people said.
In the meantime, ICE is arresting 1400 per day in US for not saying anything at all.
Which is worse?

@richdh1503 @AaronMitch53875 @AlanJLSmith In order to cut taxes, you'd need to cut spending first. Whatever they choose to cut, e.g. welfare, the hardest hit would be low-income people, pushing them further into poverty. Shifting sick pay costs to employers would backfire on workers.

@richdh1503 @AaronMitch53875 @AlanJLSmith I have and I'd be one of the biggest beneficiaries. They focus on deregulation, tax cuts, welfare cuts, immigration. The same type of policies what gave rise to the current inequalities and Truss's mini-budget crisis.

@AaronMitch53875 @AlanJLSmith Which specific policies from Reform do you believe would tangibly improve working-class living standards?

[robk @robk_dev]

@AaronMitch53875 @AlanJLSmith It's tiring to see the same populist rhetoric in UK as in US. Conservatives oversaw the largest expanse of welfare..

Immigrants are more likely to be employed, more likely to hold multiple and/or higher paying jobs, contribute more to the economy, less likely to be on benefits.

@AlexZedd88492 @RealHellenist .. but there's a reason why archaeologists make the distinction between culture and civilization

[robk @robk_dev]

@AlexZedd88492 @RealHellenist If we're strictly talking about the oldest signs of civilization found in Europe, that'd be whatever was in Bulgaria, which is 6000BC

@bleakjustin @Rainmaker1973 Engagement would drop precipitously (probably by 60-80% or more) if people have to read something or Google it before commenting, so not doable for current social media apps, and especially not for US market

[robk @robk_dev]

@realIanlong @YahooFinance How did you figure that? Not sure if trolling or unable to JFGI, but if it weren't for immigrants, the US economy would be much worse off.

@Jeffcoly @Cointelegraph Ask chatgpt, Grok, or whatever you used to generate the first reply whether it's AI-generated. You can easily skirt being caught as well.

@Jeffcoly @Cointelegraph Humans don't use "sharp idea" and most don't know how to write an em-dash, let alone when. There's no personal voice unlike in this last message and it follows the same generic, agreeable, formulaic, open-ended, nothingburger structure flooding the Internet.

@Jeffcoly @Cointelegraph "look at my AI-generated reply; I'm doing social media so good"

@butlah @triggerwarned1 @MAGAVoice Noone's saying truck drivers don't matter. There is a shortage of them because the conditions and pay are horrible, so only immigrants are willing to do the job. How would preventing legal immigrant drivers improve the situation when there's nothing stopping veterans currently?

@triggerwarned1 @MAGAVoice If all your problems were solved, how would they milk you for money your entire life?
