My comment was based on the assisting assertion that someone with his wealth could be considered an oligarch (or in the most charitable reading, couldn’t be opposed to oligarchs)

Top 2% is SEVEN MILLION AMERICANS. Do you not know what an oligarchy is, it’s a SMALL group. Your kids paediatrician is in there, middle management is in there, FAANG engineers are in there. Tens if not hundreds of thousands of small business owners are in there. His net worth is about what you’d expect An 85 year old, drawing a 200k salary with minimal costs and six successful books to have.

I was thinking 5 mil net worth and about 50Billion for oligarchs. Or 10^4 (four orders of magnitude).

I was too kind in my question, I think the real question is “do you know the difference between a million and a billion?”

The 1% is Bernie's own definition. I don't see why he deserves the benefit of a different one.

Beer is 90% water and about 4-5% ABV if you get the right stuff, with proper pacing, external hydration, and a robust lifestyle, Ill argue till im blue in the face that beer (in moderation) will ALWAYS be the most healthy drink option (In relation to soda and jucies and other manufactured drinks) other than red wine and of course water

I can agree with some of this, but only with the caveat that not all beer is created equal. There's lightyears between a good oatmeal stout and macrobrewed rice beer like Budweiser. One feels like a meal, the other feels like a foamy, full, upset stomach.

This guy reads the news the same way the Linus tech tips douchebags do and it’s just as annoying here.
Can people please stop trying to add a pun or zinger to every news headline?

Trump makes historical deal with the WEF to have American citizens start eating illegals.
"This is a historical deal." WEF chairman Klaus Schwab says, "We've been looking for a way to introduce eating the flesh of your fellow human to the mainstream for awhile now, and Trump wants a way to keep illegals from coming in. It turns out we have more in common than we thought." He said before biting once more into the halfway-eaten neck of a mexican child on live tv.
"This is just another example of what can happen when you have a president good at the art of the deal." the press secretary thot added.

When the punishment is being flown off to a black hole to never be heard from again, yes we should be sure that we are sending the right people.

Intent matters. Or it used to. A guy jumping the border to be a low-wage contractor off the books is not the same as a guy jumping the border to sell drugs and commit reprisals for the boss back home.

Both should be removed from the country, but only one should be sent to what is effectively a black site.

Intent stopped mattering because our empathy was used to wedge open the border and allow the child sex trade, the drug trade, and the slave trade to flourish, plus millions and millions of leeches coming in to commit identity fraud and commit countless petty crimes. Now they can all get fucked. If they didn't want to all get fucked, maybe they shouldn't have put together massive caravans with gangsters embedded in them. Maybe they should have kept the numbers down. Too bad, so sad, don't care, muh crying brown child, etc.

As someone who's traveling to Japan in October, is this a big deal or just more TDS as usual?

My brother's a huge lib and he's super paranoid for me when I travel to Osaka later this year and apparently he think I'll get shipped off to CECOT when I arrive back in America, because I 'might' have a .pdf file in my phone (mainly e-books) that have the n-word in them, lmao.

I mean I'm an American citizen so I don't know if this is a big deal or no?

"This is going to be huuuggggee. It's a wonderful day for America. Who knew that you could solve your illegal immigrant problem, and your hunger problem at the same time? How about that Klaus Schwab too? Great guy. Wonderful guy. Very smart man. We worked together and we're going to work on a lot of things in the future. You know, the Haitians, they ate our cats. Our beloved pets, they were eating them. Well you know what, it's time we returned the favor and ate the Haitians for a change. We're going to make America great again, one fork at time!"

where do you put MILLIONS of people in the interim of asylum seeking to give each person the time needed to respectfully and thoughtfully vet them and provide them with the necessary documentation and tools to succeed?

Where they came from. Or, failing that, in the same harbor the tea went to.

In the past 10 years I’ve never had any trouble with customs to and from Europe and Japan, but not to power level I look like average American letter jacket jock white guy. They just ask about food, specifically fruits and vegetables, anything packaged in gift boxes are fine.

Just don’t be a faggot with an attitude, I guarantee this guy probably thought he deserved some special treatment because he’s a scientist (ie just some muzzle diversity hire)

Some terrifying data, as of right now, AS YOU READ THIS, 1 in 5 ADULTS are considered completely illiterate

over half have a literacy understanding below what a 6th grader should have

34% of these people were born outside the united states

Now the real kick in the shins, 40% of all students cannot read at a basic level, 70% of all low income fourth grade student cannot read at a basic level
