I dont know... we are at extremely low unemployment, with our main economic problems being inflation caused by lack of sufficient workforce, COVID disruptions, and increasing fraction of retired people. I think increasing workforce of working age legal immigrants would be overall good for our economy.
My wife and in-laws are all strongly against illegals. It insults the effort they made to be here legally.
It's fucking hard work. Not something that lazy, benefit seeking people engage in.

You are more inclined to distrust such institutions and disregard the results, and make extrapolations from personal experience.
Ivermectin is anti-bacterial, not anti-viral.

Ivermectin is anti-bacterial, not anti-viral.
Sure about that? Even the government now admits Ivermectin has anti-Covid virus properties:
Ivermectin, a US Food and Drug Administration-approved anti-parasitic agent, was found to inhibit severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication in vitro.

As far as my covid status I've improved nicely over even just the last 4 hours.
and draconian suppression of peaceful dissent, such as suspending the bank accounts of Canadian truckers
I personally deep dived and investigated the raw data for two articles he linked, but found only extremely misleading characterizations of data, which I debunked fact by fact here on this forum.
There is no shortage of complaints on this forum about people blocking freeways and roads during BLM protests. And those complaints are legit, obstructing freeway traffic is NOT lawful protest, it is illegal. When Canadian truckers do the same thing, those complaints are legit too.
How can you not see your hypocrisy?

Woah, dude, BLM was literally murdering people and burning down neighborhoods and were bailed out by prominent Democrats, much less had to worry about having their bank accounts frozen.
The Canadian truckers were 100% peaceful and were beaten by police, arrested, and and had their bank accounts frozen. A national "state of emergency" was declared in Canada over completely peaceful protest.
Can you not see your hypocrisy DeficitHawk ?
if one seeks to control the prevailing mores of a society, what actions are allowed and which banned becomes a critical and dispositive matter:
burn a car dealership and a police station to the ground and it smiles indulgently. maybe you get probation. probably not. those ideals are OK.
loiter peacefully in a buffalo hat in the capitol rotunda, and they drop the world on your head. terrorist. treason. confess and repent and maybe, just maybe, we’ll let you out of prison in 5 years. these ideals are anathema.
they want to render the cost of opposition so high that any sane person would fear to pay it.
they also want to provide indulgences for those who act beastly in leviathan’s name.
carrot, stick.
and as long as they control the system, they control the incentives.
and as long as they control the incentives, they will try to use them to use your “do” to change your “be.”
but this is a thing we can take back from them.
and the defense against this dark art is actually rather fun.
the defense is petty rebellion. ...
the sanity you save may be your own.
you may find you develop quite a taste for it.
you may find you develop quite a flair for it.
you may find that you are having fun.

Even Patrick acknowledge that the dataset in the first article did not support its conclusion.
OK, we have different standards of proof.
I don't trust a government that lied to support a war in Iraq over weapons of mass destruction that didn't exist, and then prosecuted the people that exposed the Downing Street memos.

Yup, clearly we do.

Actually, I agree with you on this point regarding Iraq 2 war.
But still, The article linked has a headline implying you are 8x more likely to get omicron
Uh, richwicks he agreed with you on that point on Iraq.
He is simply stating that the Article's headline is full on propaganda for saying that you are 8X more likely to get Omicron if you had the Vaxx when the underlying stats prove otherwise.
It's not just the government that is untruthful.

1) George Floyd case
2) Kyle Rittenhouse case
3) Ahmaud Arbery case
I think the juries got all three exactly right. Gives me some confidence in the justice system.
I also think anti vax conspiracy theorists are crazy.
DeficitHawk says
I also think anti vax conspiracy theorists are crazy.
So you think the vax is totally safe and effective in spite of all the evidence that it is unsafe and ineffective? And you think that people that don't want to take this experimental biologic agent should lose their job?
Did I get that right?
fucking kill them, and sterilize ALL their progeny. We need to wipe them out.
The underlying cause of all three of these cases is THE POLICE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THEIR JOBS!
Wasn't his official cause of death fentanyl overdose?
I think the knee on neck for 9 minutes, well past the point where he stopped moving and stopped breathing MAY have had something to do with the death.

Genocide much? and I thought Patrick was extreme for wanting to hang people.
If the vaccines show themselves to be ineffective and dangerous (and I believe they are), it will take at least 1/2 a decade before the government starts claiming "it was a mistake". It was not a mistake, these mother fuckers lied to us. To what ends? I don't know. I'll find out in time. If this was a culling event, we have to fucking kill them, and sterilize ALL their progeny. We need to wipe them out.

By polite, I mean refraining from attacking the person in either direction, but sticking to points of argument instead. So no "You are a (whatever)" will not be allowed. The only appropriate use of "you" will be "Here you said..."
I just ran into an old guy in a cafe who pointed in the newspaper to the governor results in California, which added up to 110%. I said, "well, that's California" and so he accused me of being an "election denier". I asked if he'd seen "2000 Mules" and he said he hadn't "because it's been debunked". Uh, it's the same people who committed the election fraud who are claiming that "2000 Mules" was debunked.
Nor had he heard what was on Hunter's laptop, since he watches only corporate news.
I think I might have made a dent in his wall of denial, and I'd like to try with others.
