All right, rick, you stupid, narcissistic, white polyester-wearing fuck, we can all copy and paste until our fingers fall off. Unlike you, I provide my sources because I deal in facts, not draconian hyperbole. Now, I'm done wasting my time on a worthless, pompous ass like yourself. You are in a race to the bottom with 25iq to see who can be wrong more often than Joe Biden. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/12/29/1221780712/more-states-extend-health-coverage-to-immigrants-even-as-issue-inflames-gop https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/medicaid-deficit-has-republicans-questioning-benefits-for-undocumented-immigrants/ar-AA1uo3HC?ocid=BingNewsVerp https://www.foxnews.com/politics/explained-what-can-illegal-immigrants-get-free-united-states?msockid=2aef56e7a2036cae04464276a3196d03 https://www.newsweek.com/illegal-immigration-costs-us-billions-biden-administration-policy-impact-taxpayer-burden-1866555 https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_77e6b26a-d9be-11ef-a20b-ef008926f5c0.html https://nypost.com/2024/08/29/us-news/the-150-billion-problem-cost-of-migrant-crisis-to-us-taxpayers-could-be-billions-higher-than-reported-expenses-in-many-states/

Letting in illegals to cause terminal strain on our welfare system, which you admit is already overburdened by natives, causes more problems than it solves. Furthermore, the facts on the ground are that these 12 million illegals are not working the jobs you say they are. They are living off the government dole with taxes they've never paid and committing crimes for supplemental income. You've dismantled your own argument by arguing fantasies that are not reflected by "facts on the ground."

^It's non sequitur drivel like that which proves you need to quiet down and let others argue the leftist view. You make AOC look like an educated and well-reasoned statesman.

The jobs rick listed will be filled by native born workers and immigrants who entered this country legally and obtained proper work authorization. How many times will I need to copy and paste that for you to process it?

^says the useless turd

However you slice it, we spend too much time changing no one's mind.

BTW, even though I think some may be wrong on most or every issue, I will give credit to Puddy Tat, Skibum, mogul, Rick, and wld for more or less discussing things before hurling meaningless insults. There are a few others who try to participate, but are just not smart enough to keep up - like drew and ilb. Then you have the useless turds like 25iq and mate.

has anyone been keeping score of how many "political discourse" threads end in the same people throwing the same insults at each other? Why do we this to ourselves?

I've tried reddit and don't like the interface. There is just too much clutter.

Your AI response was a decline in the revenue of SCs, not the number of SCs in operation. The biggest gripe I have heard from girls is that men are not spending money. This is their reason for sitting around on their phones instead of working the room. The rate at which costs have been rising without a relative increase in take home wages is the obvious reason. People have less discretionary income for strip clubs, but still go for the social interactions or to blow off steam.

Welcome to TUSCL. That was a decent first-time review, but left room for improvement. You hit a couple of notes including your individual pricing experience. I would suggest including cost of cover, drinks, and lap dances. What time or specific day part you arrived with how many girls working, including demographics. The type of music they played. How flirty or no \t the girls were. On a final note, you paid $900 and were not expecting FS? Man, you NEED this site. I wish I had found it sooner.

If you want to be charitable, he may have taken it as part of cleaning up. Maybe it has something in it which requires hazardous disposal, the cost of which was included in the cost of the change. Maybe there were parts of it that could be salvaged and used in other repairs that would not have repaired your unit. Conversely, it may not have needed repair, and he was running up costs. Maybe it was innocent, and he thought it needed changing but discovered that it was not the cause. Maybe he knew he could sell it for scrap or on ebay. My bet would be that he changed it to see if that were cause, and discovered it was not. There is a lot of appliance technicians who are just parts changers. Whether or not I made a stink would depend on the cost. For me, I would not waste the time for a couple of hundred dollars. I would also factor in his individual behavior and service before making trouble for him.

^^completely untrue. Apples and oranges.

Most American businesses have the ability to adapt to changes in the workforce. Those that don't will be lost to free market Darwinism. Fear of the unknown is no reason not to enforce the law. The billions spent by federal/state/municipal governments, the millions lost to shrinkage (ie theft) in commerce by illegals, and the millions lost by private citizens fighting identity theft, burglary, vagrancy, and criminal victim trauma more than offsets anything we will lose by "productivity declines" from punishing criminals and removing people who are in this country illegally.

^^It is going to have to originate in the US congress. The Supremacy Clause makes it impossible for any state to enforce legislation or regulation that conflicts with the 14th amendment. In the currently narrowly divided Congress, we will never meet 2/3 majority needed to pass an amendment, although there is a chance that it could pass with only 12 states objecting (a slim chance). I would like to see such a bill passed to protect our Republic, but to win the necessary majority in both chambers, the GOP will need to rack up some serious wins in the next two years.

"the realities that drive them to come here illegally" is why we cannot worry about the "economic impacts" of deporting criminal illegal aliens. Every illegal alien is a criminal and any degree of tolerance drives them to come here illegally. Deport them, en masse, to their country of origin. Country of origin won't accept them? Then they are sentenced to 5 or more years in prison for their crime, while tariffs and levies against the uncooperative country are punitively raised to offset the costs of feeding and housing these crooks. When and if they are released from prison, they get ankle jewelry and go to the back of the line for processing. Make illegally entering the country a nightmare, and they will be crawling over each other to GTFO out of here.

@@@@@@@ the fuck. @have a conversation for the whole thread

25iq was a day late and a dollar short. The story of his life.

Unsurprisingly, the district court in Seattle blocked this Trump EO. Fortunately, the conversation has been started. Is up to the GOP in Congress to start legislation to repeal or update the 14th amendment.

No, that doesn't really make sense. Cuban strippers have a higher population of ROBs among them. There is a strong argument to be made that coming from a Communist country, they are from a culture where greed and avarice are necessary tools to survive. I have seen this amongst Venezuelans as well.

I often wonder if air travel would be better if the other travelers were better. People have seem to forgotten that they are in a public space, and should try to be courteous and considerate of those around them. There are too many anti-social behaviors that have become normalized- manspreading, face-timing/speakerphones, gate lice, seat squatting, misusing overhead bin space, companion animals, people too fat to fit in their seat, etc. Air travel is hard enough when you have to arrive hours early, worry about missing a connection, deal with endless lines, gate staff who hate everyone, and troglodyte TSA employees.

Smash on the left, pass on the right.

We can import the workers through H1B visas. However, that does not mean the H1B visa employees can pop out anchor babies as US citizens to cement their stay in our country. And no, we don't need the workers. We need more manufacturing and well-paying jobs, then we can talk about adding workers.

^This is factually false. The patter to Trump's EOs is he means to undo all the damage done by EOs signed by Biden but written by his liberal staff (there is proof emerging that Biden had no clue what he was signing). It would be reasonable to limit most unnecessary entry into the country, although there is no proof of this, to simplify the task of tracking down those already in the country illegally - including those who have overstayed legal visas. 25 has clearly made up his mind about Trump and is not even allowing the new government 100 days to demonstrate the larger trajectory of their executive plan. Trump's cabinet has not even been confirmed by the Senate! Liberals love to pass judgement before the facts are known, because the facts refute most of their false conclusions and outright lies.

Let's be clear. There was no insurrection. The January 6 Select Committee had no legitimacy. It was formed under false pretenses and filled with revenge minded partisans hand-selected by the odious Nancy Pelosi. January 6 can accurately be described as a protest which devolved into a riot. The only charges which should stem from such should be based on the individual actions of the person. Instead, the weaponized federal LE were used to attack civilian who was on the grounds that day- including innocent protestors. This was an egregious abuse of power. Not everyone arrested and convicted was innocent, but it's better to throw out the whole thing because it was based on partisan political persecution. Many of the 1500 freed were American political prisoners. That cannot be tolerated in a free country.
