What do you mean? US has the most intellectual capital. Your top 100 universities in the world are mostly in the US.

It is better scale for human habitation. No one goes outside and ask how many degrees from boiling point of water is the weather. That is stupid. Then you use a decimal for finer scale. Just use 0 to 100.

Doesn’t make sense to use a measure based on boiling water for weather.

I don’t trust you.

No idea what you are talking about. Victor Davis Hanson has a Wikipedia page about him. There is no Wikipedia page about you, and your comments are raging at something in an unclear fashion. Since it is gibberish, I just block gibberish.

So we need to put up with high crime rates, disharmony, and paying taxes for welfare recipients, because my ancestor was an immigrant? Let me think about it… No. If my ancestor felt like he had to emigrate, he, or she did so, because they wanted to leave that country, not bring that country with them.

Is Sweden better off with immigrants, yes, or no? The answer is no, and the Swedish voter lives in a state that is worse due to unfettered immigration, than without it. This is the same sentiment across Europe that is bringing the “far right” into government, or closer to government. Now you can be emotional about it, or you can be reasonable about it. Do I want to walk the street safely, or do I feel good about supporting diversity, because that is what I think is a good? You think rich people put up with this? They live separately in their own world. The politicians don’t put up with it. Not your elites, at least. For the Swedes, their open-minded idealism backfired. The immigrants, they openly greeted into their country, are not so open-minded.

You have nothing to say? Well, it doesn’t matter anymore.

Hear, hear, who is talking about ignorance!?

Greg Abbott does not grandstand on the subject of illegal immigration. He embarrassed the Biden administration by doing what the federal government didn’t do. Why do you think Kamala flip-flopped on immigration? The mainstream media coined her the border czar before her run to replace Biden. Now the mainstream media is saying she was never a border czar; a title they created for the laymen to understand.

Democrats want maximum birth control in case the condom breaks. In case their contraceptive pills fails, or they forgot to get either one in the heat of the moment. Abortion is the fail-safe in removing the expense, and inconvenience to a happy life. Kids = ::sad face::

Segment of democrats are socialist and that is acceptable.

When you got Shock & Awe Cheney and Putin giving their public support behind one candidate, reasonable people know who not to vote for.

Point out his lies. He lies far less than Joe Biden.

Harris is Biden 2.0, which makes her predictable. Trump has a greater tendency to ignore his staffers, and advisors who are part of the Deep State. Putin can’t predict a Trump administration with the same confidence. Putin understands Trump is a minor outlier inside US foreign policy, which is contolled by the establishment. For example, look at the Wikipedia resume of a guy like Bill Burns who has worked under many presidents.

There is no point in defending Kamala. I can tell by the stupid stuff she says she never ran a business in her entire life. Kamala is not fit for command. Felon Trump is better than Kamala. He is a businessman. Kamala has no business in the business of business. Vote Trump if you knew what is best for you. All democrats have is Trump is a felon. The disaster that Joe Biden is, and Kamala’s unoriginal ideas of meddling in people’s lives with unnecessary federal laws, which the states can, do, and already did with left wing policies, Kamala is unnecessary. I don’t think she ever worked at McDonald’s either, like she claimed she did. Then she steals some of Trump’s ideas. America does not need Kamala. Vote Trump, because we have no choice. Taxation reduces economic output. There is monumental evidence that tax cuts work and are often employed to stir up investment. Even blue states, and blue cities, use tax cuts. Democrat economy theory of taxation increasing economic prosperity is voodoo economics. Look at Joe Biden economic policies in trying to engineer the economy with tax credits for his futile micromanaged boondoggles. Even Joe Biden uses tax breaks. You are pissing against hurricane force winds and getting your face wet with your Democrat economic theories that are meant to confuse the low level electorate into voting for them, including the hope they get their union perks, 50 dollar minimum wage, and abortions, whatever they can get. What we need to do is stack the court with libertarians and right-wingers, and make sure democrats don’t interfere with state laws and the culture of those states ever again. Save America, vote Trump. There is nobody else.

Correct. Labor is the most valuable natural resource on Earth.

I said spending is an aggregate measure of GDP. You can’t even debate honestly and imply you are honest by saying other people are dishonest. It is best you are covered with a veil and blocked. Labor itself isn’t value. Value is the end product. Every country has labor. The productivity of that labor is not equal. This is what leftist don’t understand about the price of labor; it is not due to the labor itself, but the value that comes out the other end. This is why labor is unequal… and why your statement is nonsensical. No point in debating somebody in economics when they don’t know how an economy works. I am not going to waste my time, when blocking is much more efficient.

Including American citizens in the cost of illegal immigrants is dishonest.

It is actually honest. You measure what is paid in versus paid out. Many immigrants come with children. Those people need education services immediately if they are to assimilate into the flow of productivity. They also take healthcare dollars. These are all legitimate costs. Law enforcement costs money and pulled away from normal operation. Immigrants need to be processed. Property owners pay taxes to have law enforcement to protect property. Again, all legitimate costs. But let us examine your logic, if migrants didn’t generate net revenues positively in their country of origin, what makes you think they generate a net positive in the new host country? If they didn’t generate a net positive for their country of origin, like a failed state like Venezuela, by which evidence do you use to determine they are indeed productive enough? Furthermore, why do municipalities like NYC have to cut services? Why do they have to evict migrants from shelters? The coordination and logistics of feeding them and find them shelter, getting them the proper healthcare, all at no cost to them. Resources are not unlimited and because of that, these new peoples drive up spending that has to be paid for by the native or local populations. If the federal government does not want to fulfill its immigration policy with federal dollars, offload the costs to local governments, what does that say about the scarcity of resources?

Left-wingers are correct that unfettered immigration boosts GDP, because it boosts total spending, even if it means most of it is by taxpayers paying for these new peoples. Using their logic, we should take in all the people in poverty in the world, and boost the GDP to astronomical levels by funding all of it.

Toll roads are meant to control traffic congestion. Florida has many of them because tourist flood the state driving on their highways. This generates revenues from tourist instead of only from Floridians, while influencing traffic at the same time. NYC tried to do that for traffic congestion in Manhattan. They wanted revenues from New Jersey drivers who go to Manhattan. Toll roads can be good for truckers hauling freight, as less congestion means making time and safer.

It is free. Just don’t pay.

Because it is a democrat society, and documentation of it in the wild.
