In about less than 4 years it will be shown this was used for completely other purposes against political enemies, but accepted because they were your political enemies. And then it will be used against you, after which there's an outrage thread and "how could this have have happened???" posts.
This is correct. There is no logical reason or empirical evidence that opening country to mass immigration will help fixing native birth rates. Problems such as housing will just increase as there's more competition for a 5 square meter flat.
There is no reason to believe that 'immigration' can fix the native birth rates of South Koreans. This is an implicit assumption dreamt by the utterly deranged.
In US, roughly 13% of the population (blacks) commit roughly 56% of homicides. That is a per capita murder rate 8.2 times higher than the non-black murder rate (2019 FBI statistics). The murder rate among the Hispanics, who are almost as poor as blacks, is less than half that among blacks.
The question was about COVID's effects on IQ. For example, there's a consistent one standard deviation IQ difference between Whites and Africa-Americans. Feel like it should be an important factor to get the better signal rather than a proxy (education) out there when talking about effects on IQ.
HN is populated by the very liberal types. This study had access to racial data (see Q5) yet it chose to not control for it. The result might have shown that contracting the disease acts as an IQ test itself. But Lancet was behind other trash releases too earlier.
Given month of incubation time (from when you catch it, and are asymptomatic, but still spread it), it's not unreasonable to assume for sake of alternate models it's been spreading since November and people just thought of it as case of particularly bad cold. Only know of it since it got too big to hide by Chinese govt.
It wasn't a snark; I have yet to witness a liberal definition of totalitarian state that's not a sand castle. A liberal state is a schizo state that has no positive theory of state so it doesn't have a theory of totalitarian state. It's delusions about how oppressive monarchy was, slightly before they started bloodshedding in the name of raison raisonnante, do not apply here.
What the Chinese have is a formal system, and I can't quite tell if the informal liberal system isn't worse. This was a point of contemplation for Andrei Navrozov as an emigrant from USSR to US in the 1970s in his book "The Gingerbread Race" [1]
> "Hickey told a story of how the United States is even losing its submarine fleet. He had a conversation with an admiral in charge of the U.S. sub fleet at the commissioning of the USS Illinois, a Virginia-class attack submarine, who complained that the United States was retiring three worn-out boats a year, but could only build one and a half in that time. The Trump military budget has boosted funding to build two a year, but the United States no longer has the capacity to do high quality castings to build any more than that. The supply chain that could support such surge production should be in the commercial world, but it has been offshored to China."

Trading the integrity of military supply chain and infrastructure development for little hedonistic comfort is what'd I'd expect from end-stage liberalism. Just call it what it is, surrendering.
