>White neighbourhoods did not want them because property values, black neighbourhoods weren't even asked.
Selective memory? Keystone XL pipeline didn't care about color of property owners when using things like eminent domain. US Fed runs highways through while farmland. Your deceptive when you imply that its blacks only.
>It's so unintegrated white America can't stop adopting it.
Entertainment, not lifestyle.
>If all you do is look for black criminals, yes that is exactly what you will find.
Or if all you are doing is looking for a troubled part of town, that's exactly what you will find.
>¿Wait, what!?
Acting offended doesn't negate his point. The "black accent" is lazy, low lexical density, hyper masculine and caustic. It's the core of a culture, communication. Be white, get pulled over and talk like you normally would to the officer. Get pulled over again and adopt the lingo and "snap on a fuckin' racist ass pig trin' to hol' you down tho'" and let me know how it goes.
His point is strong - act like an animal, get treated like an animal.
"Oh, they find out soon enough, when being pulled over for "XXXXing while black""
Ok while we are making stuff up - I guess whites will find out soon enough that they are racist for "XXXXing while white". Nobody's concerned with a white males problems, hes probably privileged anyway so fuck him, right?
So we want to shrink our road infrastructure to drive the cost up in terms of pollution, fuel costs, time and convenience? This way less people will drive. I would propose that you are forgetting that you are going to price transport into the hands of the wealthy and business who will effectively rent-seek to loan cars or taxi people who cant afford a car around.
The idea of shrinking our roadways to discourage use of vehicles is challenging in a practical sense and it just cleaves off another aspect of life for business and the wealthy to enjoy without plebs interfering with the roadways they paid & still pay for.
I was thinking this as I read through this thread;
This living forever idea is great but so set apart from modern science it's amazing how serious some can be about it.
Live forever with your deafness or blindness from birth! Got herpes in college? It's only another infinity years of those outbreaks! If you were able to live infinite years you would ultimately wind up in some vegetative state. Between accidents dismembering people, un-curable ailments, etc.
It's noteworthy that 2 of us responded but the attack artists like yourself didn't provide anything other than anger, sarcasm and feelings-based logic..
>without external guiding force, them choosing what's best for all longer-term would literally be a miracle
Do you agree that have had quite a few miraculous people in our history as a nation? Many founding fathers, presidents, judges, military service members, and the like have chose what is best for the long-term at the expense of themselves.
I am trapped by your logic on this one anyway - the rich can't or only in a "miraculous" case chose a non-self enriching endeavor; so the discussion is futile, in your world, no human can solve this issue. Hopefully Google can get that Skynet system up and running soon, to resolve all these issues! :D
Sorry, I forgot your weren't seriously asking - just trying to be caustic.
Not that you genuinely care, otherwise you could have evolved your position by going to Trumps website where there is an entire section devoted to immigration issues. Beyond your MSNBC-Tier talking points about Wall & Ban Muslims; e-verify, defund sanctuary city curtailing the current laws, detention of illegals, criminal penalties to visa overstays and many more.
Your appeal to authority style argument won't be a very strong one, so I won't be finding "respected" economists who agree with me.
You couldn't have intentionally done a better job of proving my point.
I make a political statement. The first response is; Pivot target away from me and to a straw man (Trump & GOP). Label the straw men with your narrative of *ist and begin the appeal to common sense fallacy.
You also triggered me by changing the conversation away from liberal attack methods and bringing up LGBT issues.
>As a business owner, having access to cheaper labor is absolutely in his best interests
As a business owner, having a thriving, growing economy is absolutely more important than cheaper labor.
So many intelligent people on this website but I see so many fall into strange logical contradictions like this. How do you come to the conclusion that all wealthy elite cannot care to help repair income inequality? Do you stereotype 100% of wealthy people this way or only those you dislike, based on feelings?
With your injection of the wall comment, your post is as text book as straw man arguments get.
Econ 101 tells us that reductions in supply drive up demand.
Reductions in workforce size drive demand for workers. Employers will pay more for an employee when the pool is smaller. We are in the opposite now, employers can be extremely selective because there are 100s of people applying for the job. So why not demand the college graduate with 5+ years experience for the part-time barista job?
Have you not seen the problems with censorship in r/the_donald ?
Reddit is the largest liberal echo chamber on the net, every character of it's content is actively moderated.
It's exactly the point being made here - liberal strategy as been to define and label opposition as racist/sexist/*ist for a very long time now. So those of us who disagree are just bigoted against incessantly. Many of those in disagreement with liberal ideas just vote instead of debate because it's tiresome having people generalize and stereotype you ad nauseum.
It's a lifestyle choice. Personally, I like restoring old cars, remodeling my home, building robots. I couldn't do any of these things without being already wealthy if I lived in a big city, within walking distance to the grocery store and work.
I gladly commute so I can come home to something more than an apartment or condo, because that is all that is available or affordable.
