A modest proposal: β€œEarned Citizenship,” like birthright citizenship but automatic for immigrants who live in the US for a certain number of years and have no serious legal issues.

What is remarkable to me is this to me is how I assume affluent suburban people talk at brunch. Which is to say out there ass with absolutely no understanding what it’s like to have an actual job in America. This got elected President.

Alright people. I have a request. I want a simple five plank platform for the 10th congressional district. What five policies should a candidate run on. If you don’t like five, give me 10, 15, 25. Let it rip.

The rich are different than you and me, amoral, reckless, disgusting people made idle by great fortune, made evil by power. Tax wealth to make it significantly harder for people of great wealth to traffic in young girls.

Yes, and lobbyists write policy-as they often do-to create that commitment.

Some of this was enjoyable. Clearly a gifted writer & thinker. Lost me with the uncritically embrace of skill biased technological change. Uncritically reading the economic literature leads one to assume market forces drive everything. someunpleasant.substack.com/p/class-and-...

1979 ad for Premiat, a Romanian wine marketed under the Monsieur Henri label, Pepsi-Cola's wine division. During the Cold War, Pepsi bartered soda concentrate for wine & spirits in Eastern Bloc nations to circumvent currency regulations. Pepsi’s wine era lasted roughly from 1967 to 1991.

Brits have been consistently misled by both the media and politicians on immigration. I can't imagine that these people didn't know what they were doing.

And it's nothing new. Polling as far back as 2013 show this country has a warped idea of immigration.
