News@lemmy.world•Outrage after ICE agents tackle man at Las Vegas airport
41·3 months agoThat’s such a tiny view of the world. These people have endured great hardship and are doing jobs that are back breaking but necessary (a lot of them are picking crops, raising livestock and more than raising that meat they’re working in slaughterhouses too).
Yet you think because they didn’t jump through the absurd hoops and frankly absolutely broken immigration system we have that they don’t deserve basic human dignity and rights?
I promise you nobody is coming to “steal” a job, and really can jobs even be stolen? What does that mean, that someone qualified got a job somewhere and you think they don’t deserve it for some reason you can’t articulate? I suppose the reason you’d say is that they “didn’t come here legally,” even if their choice was between survival with illegal immigration to try to make a better life for their family or enduring violence and poverty. I suspect most of us would choose the former if it were an option and we were that desperate too.
I should note here that I think nationalism and borders in general are kind of bullshit. So, to me, the very fucking made up out of thin air laws around it are kind of nonsense. Hence why I think the whole concept of “illegal” immigration is madness. That’s just my opinion though. Nonetheless, even if that view may be on the more extreme end it should be very easy to agree with the fact that our immigration system and the laws around it are very very broken.
Even then we are seeing folks here legally thrown into concentration camps. Some USA citizens suffered the same fate just for their skin color. People being deported to places they never have set foot in because they had the audacity to try to come to the USA for a better life.
Plus that’s putting aside the whole fact that white people showed up and committed a genocide against the natives to even bring the USA into existence in its current state. I don’t think it’s really morally right to complain about immigration when your whole country is founded on dudes showing up on boats from across the ocean and extreme violence.

1·3 months agoIf they didn’t work for illegally low rates, the employer would have to pay a citizen the minimum wage.
Well, I promise they’d work for at least minimum wage (which in and of itself is not enough) if the employer paid them that. You’re acting like it’s the victim’s fault here when they’re being taken advantage of by a corrupt system.

21·3 months agoWell that’s all bullshit and not how an economy works sooooo… Yeah.
Oh they’re not getting paid enough but someone wants their job. They also pay taxes. If it’s harmful to the economy then they should not be paid below minimum wage in cash - that’s not the person’s fault that has the job, that’s the fault of the employer.
I’m all for dignified work and good wages. Acting like individuals just magically don’t participate in a local economy because they’re underpaid immigrants is silly.

1·4 months agoThey look like frames for either a shell of something or potentially as forms for concrete pouring (doubt that though).
So they probably go together to make the skeleton of some kind of shelter or vehicle.
That’s why it’s a shitpost and not a real opinion or idea.

3·10 months agoIt’s kind of insane how many people had to fuck just for you to exist. Like just thousands of humans stretching through our vast history … Nutting.
Hmm everyone in here seeing different things, I like it.
Personally, I saw a dragoon. (I need more pylons)

8·11 months agoI’ll go one further for you.
Now there is THCa on the market that when you heat it - you know by smoking it or whatever your method of choice - literally turns into Delta-9 THC. Some light reading on it.
So there is this really odd legal gray area now. I think it should be abundantly clear by now that marijuana should just be fucking legal, it’s readily available all over the place and it being illegal on the federal level is just dumb. It’s safer than alcohol and we have ads for that shit shoved in our faces everywhere we go.

News@lemmy.world•"They’re taking Shirly": An Army sergeant thought his family as safe. Then ICE deported his wife.
26·1 year agoWorst part is that Shirley was going through the process of naturalization and working to be here legally. Through a process the military had put in place for just this exact kind of thing.
She had no criminal record, has been here for a decade, and has faithfully reported for her hearings. Not to mention she is gainfully employed.
Why the fuck are we wasting time and resources deporting this person?
McDonald’s would be a hell of a lot cooler if they were funding Satan worshippers. Can they bring that rumor back and confirm it this time please?

2·1 year agoThat AI isn’t going to let you get away with posting beach photos with (I’m guessing) mild nudity or skimpy clothes that are perfectly acceptable attire.
No sir, how dare you!
Nah, also you’re never going to lose out on income by making more money.
Like others said, the only possible exception is if you’re getting government assistance and get kicked off programs you’re in because you went past the cut off. So, as an example, let’s say you’re low income and you get vouchers for school. You could make enough money that you’re no longer eligible for that benefit but the amount you make over the cut off is less than what the benefit was.
But, that’s a specific situation. At no time will your taxes increase more than whatever additional income you’re getting. Period.
I’ve tried to explain that too many times now in my life and I’m not even that old. Just a lot of people are bamboozled by propaganda and lies.

News@lemmy.world•Is DOGE just making up numbers and hoping no one notices?
3·2 years agoBro it annoys me to no end that people genuinely believe that the government never does audits. Like all this DOGE bullshit was already an ongoing part of the federal bureaucracy in place to ensure funds aren’t misappropriated.
Do people think there was zero accountability for the money??!?!!
DOGE isn’t saving shit it’s a smokescreen to shift money around and enrich the unscrupulous assholes.

94·2 years agoIt’s insane to me that this is even a discussion. What kind of evil people would prefer to actively poison their constituents?
It’s such a no brainer to remove toxic chemicals from our water supply. Who cares if it’s expensive, so is an aircraft carrier, this needs to be done to save lives. We can afford it.

Took me a few months on sertraline to get back to my horny self and even being able to cum - a frustrating few months indeed - but it helps a ton with the anxiety and eventually I got back to busting nuts so I think it’s worth it.
