Most people that are for lower immigration aren’t anti all immigration.

People usually want lower numbers, and more educated immigrants.

So anyone that has 2 million subscribers is automatically right on everything?

That guy makes some crap videos.

Housing prices can be fixed with housing reform and breaking NIMBY, LVT and lowering immigration.

You can be tolerant of intolerance. But its got to be about homophobia, sexism, threats of violence, and hatred of the status quo. But it only works if a minority is doing it.

The problem is the same all over Europe people are unhappy with immigration from MENA.

None of the centre or left parties will deal with it, except in Denmark and Poland which coincidentally have seen lower votes for far right parties. But that’s probably unrelated right.

So yea. Let’s decide who should be in power and what they think of is right goes and ban anyone that thinks differently.

Capitalism working as intended.

Supply and demand. In this case means higher wages.

And no, the hypothetical of the robot skyscrapers is not “meaningless.”

It’s not meaningless in itself. Its meaningless to the conversation. It’s literally a hypothetical you invented for no reason. You’re just rambling.

Are you actually trying to claim that if the population was much smaller than it is today total resource use across the globe would be the same?

Because if not my point stands.

A lot of people think rockets can be very profitable. Its just a long term bet and you lack imagination. I would need to check but I’m pretty certain spacex is profitable.

Those other companies are still in R and D.

The only billionaire I know of that is launching rockets is Elon Musk.

That’s just evidence that capitalism is efficient. Because SpaceX has revolutionised space travel making the only reusable rocket doing something all the government agencies said was impossible. NASAs new unbuilt rocket is using tech from the 1970 that they are going to throe away into the ocean on every launch.

The rest you say is meaningless. How you expect this robotic skyscrapers to be built? Some MIT masters project or some capitalist experiment?

There has been efficiency gains throughout. Capitalism is amazing for that, far better than other systems.

The problem is too many people. If standard of living is to increase then the resource requirement is due to massive unsustainable population growth.

That and the fact the public hate externalities and don’t want them used at all never mind aggressively.

You seem proud of it.

It’s so bad. You can be bang on mid BMI and people will tell you you need to eat more because you are too skinny.

People have no idea what is underweight, skinny, overweight. I would go as far as most people will think low end obese is healthy.

That’s not something to be proud of.

It really seems like it was.

They always are and they know it.

Doesn’t matter at that level it’s all part of the game.

The internet is so tame now. Are there any websites left or is it largely just professional stuff left?

Fake but at least it isn’t gay.

Melbourne is a city of tryhards

The point of the question is to show how limited that information actually is. Just look at how small the Wikipedia article is.

No one is denying English people have set foot on Nicaragua. But to claim that’s what the joke is about is stupid.

No one is going to hear that joke and think “hahaha that’s a about a settlement in 1633! What an absolute reference! Classic”

If you asked about British/English colonialism it would take forever for the members of the public to reference Nicaragua.

Right. So you think people know that and that’s what the joke is about?

Of course none of this matters.

If you were making a joke then it was poorly constructed and I missed it. Pyrflie made the same joke but better and I laughed when I read that. Yours comes across as factually incorrect “acktually”.

We seem to have a disagreement about what the joke is about and I’m willing to be proven wrong by Brits. That’s all I’m saying. Short of Noel himself showing up other British people are going to know the meaning of the joke best. Until then I think you are misleading people.

Christ alive. Look jokes works because of peoples understanding of it. If you think English involvement in Nicaragua is common knowledge enough for a joke on colonialism then fucking hell you must think more of the education of the general public than me. As fair as I know American involvement in Nicaragua is way more common knowledge than English involvement there which breaks the joke.

But it is all meaningless anyway because the joke isn’t about that.

This website is weird at times. Joke about American’s education gets turned into a history of colonialism and the breakdown of a what makes a joke, a joke. I’m going to the pub.
