> About 90 percent of the land is communally owned by aiga. The existing tenure law on communal lands prohibits alienation of any real property except freehold land to any person whose blood is less that one-half Samoan. Unless the Governor approves the transfer in writing, it is unlawful for any matai of a Samoan family to alienate any family lands to any person or lease it for any term more than 55 years. ASG estimates that 1.5625 square miles of American Samoa's total area of 76.1 square miles are freehold land.
You probably don't realize it, but projecting European values and customs onto other peoples is a form of white supremacy. There is nothing universal about the way European countries and their former colonies govern themselves. It is quite reasonable that many non-European people would want to be governed by principles incompatible with ours as Americans.
Well the Democratic party thinks all Mexicans should be offered US citizenship and be allowed to vote in American as well as Mexican elections, so giving Samoans citizenship should be a no brainer.
>inhumane labor conditions that characterized the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Hmm, I wonder what led to a labor market that allowed for those working conditions that ended in the early 20th century and returned in the late 20th century...
The fact that our most prestigious scientific journals are publishing mass-audience blog posts celebrating the sexist political indoctrination of our youth shows we have a lot of work to do on restoring objectivity to our institutions.
But the people most censored on social media in the West are alt-right. Are you saying that white people wanting their own communities and countries is a legitimate interest on par with the Tibetans wanting their own communities and country?
>what facebook actualy said: "Repeat offenses will see their distribution reduced and their ability to monetize and advertise removed"
So facebook censors conservatives for the 10,000th time this year, and you poo poo it because its just "pointing out satire". It's pretty undeniable at this point that there is a culture war going on, and you have picked a side.
Im always shocked by the religious like faith people put in the current banking system that gave us the housing bubble, the 2008 financial crisis, the bailouts, TARP, the 1988 financial crisis, the 1929 financial crisis the 1905 financial crisis etcetera etcetera.
There is nothing inevitable about the status quo or reform. Reform will succeed if enough people decide it should happen, and advocating the benefits of blockchain is a means to that end.
The head of the National Labor Relations Board said it was scientifically false that girls are biologically less likely to become interested in STEM when they grow up. So yea, they very much are making scientific claims out their ass and calling it harrasment to point out that they're wrong.

This article is worthless.
It links to an article called "Capitalism Is The Real Problem" with this gem of a quote in it:
> People want the fruits of production and the yields of our generous planet to benefit everyone, rather than being siphoned up by the super-rich, so we can change tax laws and introduce potentially transformative measures like a universal basic income.
To translate out of Communist-speak, the author wants to raise taxes on the middle and professional class, (the people living in NYC & SF) to give it to all the unproductive, low-skill immigrants the super-rich corporate CEOs brought in for cheap labor over the past 30 years. Great.
Here's a better idea. If you need government assistance to survive, you forfeit your right to reproduce. Snip snip. No kids. In 2 generations the problem is solved, and then people who are productive can afford to have productive kids. America isn't a giant factory for making more people who need welfare. We need to stop running it that way.
> Cities, Shoag says, could do more to support fertility rates, population growth, and opportunities for lower-income people to move there and thrive by building more and affordable housing.
No. I do not want my tax dollars paying the rent for a foreign-born cleaning lady who is employed by someone richer than me, so that rich person can pay her less than what she actually needs to afford her rent.
In Europe, it's used to treat sick large animals, which are very expensive to replace. (Cows cost over a thousand dollars) In India, it is fed to 100% of healthy chickens to make them grow faster, because their immune systems don't have to deal with bacteria anymore, and so more energy goes into growth. The number of reproducing bacteria being exposed to antibiotics, (and therefore with a chance to develop immunity) is orders of magnitude higher with what Indians are doing than with what Europeans are doing.
