Sure, if we're talking about the sub-1% of the immigrant population who are nuclear rocket engineers and such but other than that, we don't need more people. This is true for the U.S. and for the planet in general; the more people there are, the less valuable each of us is.

Even leaving aside the role they play in stuff like the agricultural district, the idea that there are skilled foreigners who we should be trying to attract to the US is absolutely true.

I would say most of the world tips.
I am from Europe, travelled many counties here, tipping is either not forced in any way or not expected, people still do tip various sums from their own will. So far nobody shouted me, demanded more or stabbed me for my tips and they are not 15% .
I can only speak from my experience of course, what i've seen, done, what i talked about with others..

>>1371375
EU doesn't force tipping, thats the difference you tip because you want to but its not expected.
US/Canada its basically expected that you tip 15% barring being literally assaulted by the waiter/waitress or finding fecal matter in your food. Its a toxic practice that i wish would stop but unfortunately people just look like stingy assholes if you tell people to stop tipping.

>>1371375
Was just discussing this the other day with someone. I pay about 1-2 euros for an espresso in Italy, and about $5 USD here for one, plus $1-2 tip.
In the EU what is considered a livable wage should get you a small studio flat in an older building, food for yourself, maybe a moped, basic cell phone, various stuff like that, eating out occasionally for modest meals, etc.
In the US what is considered a livable wage is supposed to get you at least a 1 bedroom apartment, a large American car, iPhone, food for yourself and your family, and some other odds and ends.

Wildly different expectations of what "livable" is between Europe and the US.

They should just get a job. Back in the old days, being homeless was an executable offense. That is the law of God working its way through society.

>>1371479
It's because the price of housing is too damned high. NIMBYs, boomers, and private equity firms have driven the price of housing and rent through the roof. It's to the point where you have Chinese backed companies sweeping in and buying vast amounts of properties to drive up land costs. Most homeless actually do have jobs, it's just those jobs don't pay anywhere near enough. In most cities, even professionals are feeling the squeeze and are a sneeze away from ruin.

They shoudl just let healthcare be a free market. Abolish obamacare and medicare. Turn it over to the market forces. Remove the onerous regulations and oversights and that would drive down costs and drive up quality. What tards don't get is that insurance is entirely about risk management, regardless of what insurance it is. You outsource a big risk (surgery etc) to smaller payments based on risk levels. Being against profit for insurance is insane lefty bullshit. Being for a public option is mental illness. If people weren’t making profits why tf would thru work at providing anyone a service? Just because a service has high priorities towards life and limb doesn’t mean it’s excused from basic laws of economics or the increase in efficiency from privatizations.

This is why it's obvious to fire those guys. If you're gonna be a cop, you can't lose your shit and forget what you're doing because some unrelated person flipped you off. If you're going to abandon your mission, at the very least do it for a reason that doesn't involve retaliating against a constitutionally protected action.

>>1370827
>If you're going to abandon your mission, at the very least do it for a reason
That's what I think is the real issue here. He was supposed to be responding to something serious and quit it because of hurted feels.

Sure, shouldn't be beating on someone for flippin' bird - but that doesn't limit to 'police' - you flip me the bird and I flatten you I'm "wrong". There's argument to the tranny doesn't have much opportunity to fight back making it an abuse police power but far the most concerning is the officer randomly deciding his assigned task of restoring order is below him to the point where his feels rank higher.

The problem is he thought he could put on that unifrom and still be a person. He gave that up to gain 'responsibility'. I don't think this was made clear enough to him. Second that uniform goes on you stop being a person and start being police. Police have a lot more rewls on how they must and must not behave. For a reason. The only thing worse that putting on that uniform without acceptance of these facts is someone already wearing it doing nothing - or worse, actively compensating - when somone else fails to accept these facts. It's worse because then all the folk who put that uniform on for all the right reasons - and they do exist - get tarred with the brush. It's clearly not 'just one bad apple' as there's collusion behind the scenes.

Police turn up at a job, we don't see Jim, and Bob, we see the uniform. Again, something required to be accepted before puttin' the uniform on - but the critical point is what you've been shown that uniform means previously.

I'll take a wild stab at this tranny been shown unflattering things to associate with this uniform. This leads to the sort of mindset where a casual passing results in bird flipping. Now, this officer *should* have been 'above' this, and just continued to his task of restoring public order. But the fact he wasn't just reinforced every unflattering thing this uniform springs to mind.

>>1370838
say, long winded anon, that was a lot to read, but I read it all, because I have even less of a life than you do. Now, as to putting on the uniform, and accepting the responsibilities that go with that. The responsibility is very simple. You become a VIOLENT GOON to uphold the COPOCRACY. You beat a homeless black guy for stealing a 5th of vodka, abd you go TISK TISK with your finger when an elite kills people by denying them health coverage.

RFK really is the best. I don't know why anyone would hate himl. He's so intelligent and smart. I beg you to listen to RFK's podcasts if you no believe. He said that all the deaths and cripplings due to polio was because of malnutrition. The vaccine literally did nothing and actually hurt kids and was a huge waste. He is just saying he supports it right now because a lot of big pharma RINOs and DEMS would block his way if he said his true beliefs. When RFK gets in, there will be no more polio vax. There will be no more vax period. Vax should be banned. Vax will be banned. Every single chemical we put into our bodies so them can control us. The only thing that cures the disease is HERD IMMUNITY.

>>1371243
Except that's fucking backwards. Dems (liberals and progressives) openly clash over policy and direction. Republicans tend to fall in line once an authority figure makes a call. Remember how much the GOP hated trump in 2015 until he started gaining in the primaries and eventually won, which silenced all dissent.

>>1371245
Republicans fall in line when they are the opposition. When they are in power, they shit the bed (just look at the ousting of McCarthy). Democrats are the opposite, where they jockey and stab each other in the back when out of power, but fall in line in the hopes of getting something done when they do gain control. And before you say something about Lieberman, Manchin, or Sinema, they were all independents.

>it won't apply to rich people

wrong link here is the correct one: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/27/credit-card-debt-set-to-hit-record-levels-as-consumer-holiday-spending-rises.html

The problem with credit cards

Of those with debt, 21% expect it’ll take five months or longer to pay it off, LendingTree also found. At that rate, sky-high interest charges will exact a heavy toll, according to Schulz.

“That means less money to put towards other big goals for the new year, such as growing an emergency fund or saving for college,” he said. “In more extreme cases, it may mean you’re less able to pay essential bills or keep food on the table. In either case, it’s a big deal.”

>>1371040
Kind of pointless unless they can say how much of that 1.17T is unmanageable vs how much is just people using CC benefits or security features that debit/cash don't have. Debt alone doesn't paint the whole picture.

>>1371100
>security features that debit/cash don't have
Cash. Sure. You move that, it's moved.
Debit? Prove to me the bank cannot - at their chosing - dip into another bank's accounts and reverse the flow of money. If they choose to is another matter.

>Debt alone doesn't paint the whole picture.
But it's most of it. If you could afford it you wouldn't need credit. You'd buy it. Most of debt acquisition is folk living outside of their means. As for 'unmanagable' - you overstepped once, you'll do it again. Unmanagable is just a matter of time and a few unfavourable variables to align.

You would have to prove intent. No drugs involved, so reckless driving charge at . most. Of course, one could only do this 1 time, as it would look suspicious a 2nd time. So might as well line up as many cops in sight the 1st time.
