I will never understand why some people want their country to be overrun with millions of illegal immigrants who contribute very little and end up in poverty or worse.
Slavery never ended in the US. They just replaced it with a minimum wage that's below a living wage.
If you think about it, slavery would be far too expensive to continue anyway. Having to house, feed and care for your human property is very expensive. Better to just pay them fuck all and not have to worry about any of that stuff.
You guys are going to get surprised in what is considered a living wage in some parts of the world.
But immigrants are lazy, according to Nintex. 
Nah dude, nothing surprises me and I've been exposed to some pretty interesting places (El Salvador, South East Asia etc).
I also come from a migrant family, so I know these people work hard to get ahead, just like mine did.
I think Nintex is referring to a very specific group of people though. Not economic migrants looking for a better life. Well, at least I hope so...

$7.25/hr seems like a pretty low wage in a modern first world country.
A 40 hour work week would net you $290. How the hell is that livable with no public health care?
Happy to be educated about my white cis kangaroo privilege, but that seems like slave wages to me.

Happy to be educated about my white cis kangaroo privilege, but that seems like slave wages to me. That's well below the eligibility for Medicaid and many other welfare programs, you also wouldn't pay any federal income taxes and probably would receive a "tax refund" instead. The federal minimum wage also has no connection to what the legal minimum wage is in most locations nor do many people other than teenagers make it. McDonald's and grocery stores typically offer starting wages at two times that amount for example.
Slaves make nothing at all.

Last time this came up, they started comparing reading a clock and writing with a pen to reading a sundial and calling them obsolete skills.
There does seem to have been a shift in the consensus recently, though, towards Gen Z having boomer-level technical skills on anything that isn't a smartphone, so we'll see how this thread goes.

Was it the professional behaviour aspect of a lobbyist only having soft political power, so being needlessly hostile and acting like you're both smarter and more deserving of power to elected officials with actual political power is actively counter-productive, or was it it the temperamental level where you're combining a daily self administered randomised hormonal imbalance for a perpetual state of PMS with the known side effects of increased aggression while abusing amphetamines?

“Can you guess I’m black?”
A deaf, dumb, and blind person would know that Nep is black.
You’d die from alcohol poisoning in one day if you started playing a game of “Take a shot whenever Nep reminds you what color they are”. I’m surprised she doesn’t drop a “And I like to wear a fur suit” after every post too.
If there’s even a ONE PERCENT CHANCE that this dog or any of their ancestors were trained to oppress folks, we need to treat it as an absolute certainty.

 So first he suggests that the prices are to blame, then immediately concedes that it'll probably still happen but argues that you should just look away and then finally claims that it doesn't actually happen
Uh-oh.

The very first sentence of the article is completely false. A person would have to not be paying attention to find following the plot "almost impossible."
They also claim that Quantumania is "required viewing" for Loki S2, which is just factually wrong so far. It doesn't reference that film at all. They're trying to make the show sound more complicated than it actually is.
Quote:ot long ago, Marvel movies usually snagged the top three or four spots on the list of highest-grossing films every year. This year at the global box office, Barbie, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and Oppenheimer all outgrossed both Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
And this is just dishonest, purposefully misrepresenting the box office results of Guardians 3, which were actually fantastic. It made $850m, almost matching Guardians 2's $870m. There is absolutely no denying the success of Guardians 3 so to imply that it underperformed makes the agenda of the article pretty clear.
