Да в целом с рос паспортом можно отлично устроиться и в Португалии и в Испании и Грузия и Казахстан с Арменией тебя реально никак дискриминировать не будут. Большинство просто не хочет менять среду и испытывать дискомфорт (не осуждаю), но тогда и нечего ныть на тему "злой Европы".
Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”
Not accepting Trump's deal was very retarded on Putin's part. A relatively easy way out ditched in favor of grandiose dreams that he will likely not attain. Putin circa 2008 would have taken Trump on his offer but modern version is too delulu.
It's more like Israel's internal politics and demography will block saner voices from gaining power. The whole leftists/poc/islamist framing of Israel as a colonial settler project is ironic cause it is "Brown" Israelis that are driving the change in policy.
Well, the incentive started with George Floyd where regardless of what one thinks of the exact cause of his death the deceased lead a rather unsavory lifestyle and for a brief moment the hysteria around him was like if he was a new saint. US and global right adopted this approach.
Immigration does not really solve for this unless you either:
a.focus only on high-productive immigrants (and no "family reunions") b.implement Dubai like "not quite slavery but almost servitude" migration scheme.
Both are kinda repulsive to plenty of normier and intellectuals but for diff reasons
One could argue in favor of immigration from moral grounds and base it off "West must attone for sins of colonialism" or "give me your hungry and poor" stuff but neoliberal textbook case for it only works in the abstract setting that does not account for externalities that social benefits create
I have two masters degrees in econ and finance and an unfinished PhD. "The immigration automatically increases GDP" is midwit meme that works only in the spherical conditions where immigrants contribute to econ but can't claim lifetime benefits and can't bring dependants. I.e. precisely Dubai
It's common and popular, hence why you are now debating me within the walled-off gardens of Bluesky and UK gov (and German and French ones too) is desperately trying to contain native pogrom party by trying to install a pretty harsh censorship regime.
Yes, but you could do that with some kinda trades/community college and spend like 2 years and less money on that with basically same ROI for many people. It's not that Higher Ed is useless for most - it's that the marginal utility simply does not justify the costs.
I was told by some very smart (no irony in this btw) people on this website that higher female higher education enrollment was great and men were "failing". Would they now reconsider the initial assessment?
