Because the system is designed to allow these people in a gray zone, so they do not have access to the same rights as citizens and therefore can be exploited. The problem is not illegal immigration. It's just a political football. Our economy would fily collapse without this cheap labor to exploit.

Not it is not

Best way is to block at the router.

I live in the czech republic and this is the way the older generation is here. Many older couples will have the same meal on the same day of the week every week. So not the same meal every day, but the same meal every Monday, a different one every Tuesday, etc. It's mind-numbing to me (I'm American) and these people tend to be outrageously inflexible in almost every aspect of their being.

This is why I think ai is basically the death of startups as we know them. Only big players can even take a swing. No more underdog garage startups, unless you're just downstream getting dorty bath water from the big boys.

Ai all around is purely about consolidation of power and money. It's bad for workers and ultimately probably bad for the startup world and competition more broadly.

There are a good number of stable configurations in the 3 body problem, it's just that they are incredibly rare in nature.

Sitting in a chair is also pretty terrible for your health. :)

Imo college sports is a huge driver of this, as schools are more often seen as sports franchises these days than actual educational institutions.

In states like Kentucky a d Oklahoma? Think again. These places are overwhelmingly trumpy. The nation as a whole barely voted him in, but in many red states his numbers are very high. My home county in Tx voted 80% Trump.

The culture that I live in here in the Czech Republic would paint your statement as pretty false. The police here are extremely laid-back and it's pretty easy to get away with petty thievery, yet crime is exceptionally low because people are not desperate enough to risk even the low chance of getting in trouble. You only take chances when you have nothing to lose and you only have nothing to lose when you have been completely excluded from society.

The difference is that being poor in those places does not lead to life or death desperation amongst poor people.

Here in czechia they still do oral exams where you sit in a chair in front of an instructor and they ask you questions which you have to answer by speaking. I don't think there's any better way to show actual content mastery than that

Replace healthcare with literally any public service and you start to get pretty close to the fundamental reasons why America is so broken.

I mean we Americans have literally already forgotten Nazi Germany, or maybe we were never really taught it in a way that was meaningful.

The upper classes have extracted growth from a slowing curve by carving more and more out of the middle and lower classes. To them it looks like growth, but it's really just stealing from the bottom to pad the curve.

Sounds like human males in rut

Europe calls bullshit on this line of reasoning. You've drank too much koolaide friend.

This Neurosis is very common through out the American south.

Exactly this. The bill has now come due for our far from enviable education system.

We have incurred an unbelievable amount of cultural debt and now the bill is coming due.

Obama kicked the failing can of neoliberalism down the road. He could have very easily bailed out the American people directly but chose not to do that and as such I feel like he alienated liberal Americans as much as he did conservative ones.

What a dumbfuck article. It's essentially a gossip-rag level story based on a few random and meaningless tweets from a couple of billionaire douchebags.

Spellcheck is an absolutely perfect example of what happens with technology long-term. Once the hype cycle is over for a certain tech, it gets left to languish, slowly degrading until it's completely useless. We should be far more outraged at how poor basic things like this still are in 2025. They are embarrassingly bad.

Yep. Replacing google assistant with Gemini before feature parity was even close is such a fuck-you to users.

I think it works until it doesn't. The nature of technical debt of this kind means you can sort of coast on things until the complexity of the system reaches such a level that it's effectively painted into a corner, and nothing but a massive teardown will do as a fix.

Loooooool

Citymove in Prague works really well and has great design ;)

Culture change is often the solution, and as a species we still haven't discovered a way to do it without violence.

Wouldn't know it from how restrictive your immigration laws are

Also, don't forget to factor in the reality that many Chinese people live at and expect a far lower standard of living than Americans do. Americans by in large are some of the most spoiled and entitled people on this planet who think that getting a new TV every year is a necessity for life

They might not even bother with cooking them and eat them raw.
