This is the actual answer. Immigration is fine, but you have a sick society if it doesn’t feel like it can risk having children. Immigrant aren’t magic and after one generation they will succumb to the same problems of that sick society.
Read a book recently about demographic ‘replacement rates’ and how low it was in South Korea and Japan (as well as a LOT of other countries, including in Europe).
Author pointed at Canada as a success story of reversing the trend. Offered an example of how immigrants, especially those who could start businesses or were educated could help with the demographic issue without impacting the economy.
But you have to first get around the xenophobia issue. A minister standing up and pulling the proverbial fire alarm is a first step.
My point is that it took a full year of hilariously obvious lies for any corrective action. In Congress (one of the administrative bodies of the country I live in) I’d prefer for liars and dishonest conmen to be excluded from taking part in governance.
Of course they are, that’s the second question on the application right after ‘if an infant was on fire and you just drank a big-gulp would you piss the fire out?’.
Edit reply: if he got ousted when he first told the lies, that would have been more acceptable than waiting a full year. I hope you can understand the difference.
And he wasnt even listed for being the most prolific liar in a building of liars… It was so those voting to expel him could show their donators that they think misappropriating funds isn’t cool, man
America needs to act now to prevent a war before it starts. And the easiest way would be to pass a law confirming that the oil field in question is territory of the US.
Not surprising. I do wonder how this will play out now. Brazil isn’t at all happy to potentially have a war right on their doorstep and Uncle Sam certainly doesn’t want Venezuela to grow.
sorry, world. the u.s. needs it to be able to kill anyone in the middle east because of 'defense'. the insanely, vastly oversized arsenal isnt enough, we need this base more than its tiny ass home country.
Located in the Indian Ocean, 310 miles south of The Maldives, the Chagos Islands are home to the Diego Garcia military base, which is leased by the UK to the United States and has been used for American bombing missions in the Middle East. The archipelago is known in the UK as the British Indian Ocean Territory.
A diplomatic cable from 2009 published by WikiLeaks quotes Colin Roberts saying “We do not regret the removal of the population” and explains the plan to declare it a marine reserve (which they subsequently did) so that “former inhabitants would find it difficult, if not impossible, to pursue their claim for resettlement on the islands”.
Are you making a comparison to Napoléon or to 1930s Germany? Because the Rhineland was actually German and part of the German empire whereas Crimea and the Donbas do not belong to Russia but are internationally accepted as Ukrainian territory.
The way the Chagos Islanders have been treated is so horrible. A lot of them live right near the airport where they landed, because they got as far as the UK but then had nowhere to go. No provision had been made for them at all.
Oh please don’t be mistaken. Their dissatisfaction is that their men haven’t returned. However, they will be satisfied if simply someone else would go to kill those Ukrainians.
This is not a protest against the war, by any means.
