Some real data, not fake numbers from a right-wing shill:
Ireland’s GDP per capita used to be just over half of the UK’s. Now it’s more than twice as high.

American factories shut down when Black workers unionized and demanded equal treatment.
Makes you wonder if those high-paying factory jobs only existed because they depended on exploiting minorities.

Bf's company is producing a cartoon about the Aztecs, with all the dialogue in Spanish.
Bf: The Aztecs didn't speak Spanish. It was the Spanish colonizers who massacred them that did.

The data suggests this is the case, evidenced by the lack of proportional retail price reductions despite significant drops in lab-grown diamond wholesale prices, and jewelers reporting substantially higher profit margins on lab diamonds compared to mined ones.

The production cost of lab diamonds was around $300–$500 per carat, yet the competitive retail price of a 1-carat lab diamond is $1,890.
