Why is it that no one says India is not diverse enough? or China? Or Singapore? Or Mali? Or Mexico etc?
But Ireland, America, France, Italy, Canada & so on, all these majority white countries have to be diverse or there is something fundamentally wrong with them?
So diversity is only needed if a society if majority white?

You closed beaches and outdoor dining with no data to support it. So spare us your dictator bullshit
Our Founding Fathers did not fight to establish this republic just to watch Donald Trump tear it apart.
And a spineless Congress let it happen.
YOU deserve better.

David Friedberg: France’s Crisis Is a Warning for America
“France is a bellwether for the West.
So take a look at this chart. This chart is a measure of public spending as a percent of GDP.
And you can see the comparison of France's public spending as a % of GDP to the peak of GDP of major communist nations.”
@Chamath:
“So do you think France is a communist state? They spend like it.”
@Jason:
“Well, it's certainly been a socialist state, right?”
Chamath:
“Is it working?”
@Friedberg:
“That's my point. And I think this is such a prescient lesson for the West to look at.
We all think that there's some political problem with Macron or whoever it was.
The more the government spends, the worse the conditions get for its people, not the opposite, and then the people riot and revolt.
Take a guess where the US is today. US public spending is roughly 36% of GDP. France today is operating its national government spending deficit is 5.4% of GDP. The US is actually 6.2% of GDP.
France is, I think, probably the first to go because they're only growing their economy at half a percent while the US is growing at 2.3%.
So we're still kind of hanging on because we have some degree of economic growth that's allowing us to kind of hold things together.
But I would argue that we are facing the same sort of fiscal cliff which leads to this extraordinary social unrest as France.
All the economic measures are aligned, we're at the same rate, we're at the same set of problems, and we're starting to see the cracks in the system.
There's probably a multi-year solution.”

Every single Democrat in Congress voted against President Trump’s historic tax cuts, including No Tax on Tips.
They voted against Voter I.D. They voted against Proof of Citizenship. They voted AGAINST securing our borders.
They vote against the American people.

California set aside $24 billion for homelessness.
California then announced that the entire $24 billion DISAPPEARED.
Finally, it was tracked down.
It turns out that the funds were turned over to an NGO.
Instead of helping the homeless, the funds were used for a mansion , and a $125,000 vehicle.
All under the watchful eye of Gavin Newsom.
The dude belongs in prison.

This is an individual wearing a Hamas headband in NYC saying he wants to kill Zionists.
This is the ideology and belief system we don’t want spreading in the West…

Do you understand what happens when we deport ALL the illegal immigrants?
- Wages increase
- Rent prices fall
- Traffic decreases
- Insurance rates fall
- Insurance rates drop
- Housing prices plummet
- Welfare spending plummets
- Hospital overcrowding eases
- Crime dramatically become less crowded
- Teenagers can get good jobs again
- Court systems become less burdened
- Competition for starter homes drops
- Emergency rooms become less strained
- Nearly all prices on everything drops
- All government services are less strained
Literally every single thing in life gets better if we just deport them all.

Get rid of these programs that bring in foreign workers at the expense of young Americans.
We stopped H-1Bs at our universities in Florida and other states should follow suit.

The tech job market is collapsing for young grads
Yet universities continue to lobby to flood the job market with OPT and H-1B entry-level workers to undercut their own grads

@JimEms5 @MailaMariaRosa Then we pay for the military's cars with our work because we are stupid. I'd like to see these guys do the same thing in Morocco...
