| If i understand this correctly you're coming from the direction of seeing the current left as a group of people holding the light of reason who want to do little more than teach a group of rustic and uneducated people (ie. right of center) how to live in a multi-cultural, science-centered 21st cent... |

| So, I have not had cable in more than a decade. These days I don't even watch streaming services--Netflix, Amazon Prime, PS Vue--very much. However, I am watching a lot of content on youtube... In the last few years YT content has really changed. No only has there been a boom in original content, bu... |

| However, we need some kind of guest worker program here because many regions/industries are facing a real labor shortage and it is a serious drag on the economy We have several. And the employers aren't crying out for more legal immigrants and legal workers. They are crying out for undocumented one... |

| This is seriously one of the arguments used in favor of the preservation of slavery, exploitative illegal labor must stop. Most agricultural land in this country is controlled by huge corporations, if they cannot break even then they should be broken up and the land returned to the people who would... |

| Once you get unemployment rates under about 5%, it falls into what's known as structural unemployment. That mostly accounts for people simply changing jobs, etc. So, if you're in an area where unemployment is less than this, it pretty much really does indicate that there's a labor shortage. I live i... |

| How many trees does it take, to produce 50,000lbs of pecans. I have only germinated about 6, so far. Also, may I take legal credit for all the labor, which they have performed, for your intellectual property, the land, and the matériel. Why or why or why not? Does anti-social behavior, on my part, ... |

| I've watched and enjoyed a lot of Alain's videos, a few gave me some good ideas. This one confuses me though - ie. I'm not sure if he was forced to make this one and didn't want to or whether he was just hoping he could make a video, duck a dangerous projectile (ie. political label of being left or... |

| Is it materially possible, to pass the buck, enough times, where the work of 1 person feeds 100? In the Bible, this used to be called a miracle. (of fish and loaves) Once upon a time I designed a very small system that enabled about a dozen people to process and package approximately 50,000 lbs. of... |

| Another thing goes to how we define 'common courtesy'. I'd say it is courteous to call a trans person by their pronoun of choice, and to refrain from calling children with downs syndrome ret*ds... Some might call that PC. I'd also say abolishing thanksgiving and cowboy Halloween costumes is silly, b... |

| With regards to that first sentence, the idea that everyone is worthy of politeness and consideration (the legitimate PC) is a relatively new concept in human society. Simply pointing this out and acting upon it was PC's original intent before being hijacked by well meaning, but tactless people. Is... |

| Well, after about a minute later when the initial reaction had worn off, I found myself feeling curious about where the video was going to go from there, if only to find out why they think PC is so great. I've heard that rhetoric before, about how progressives think people feel that reject PC when ... |

| http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWM2E9oHlhA&t=12s I think this is a pretty good, insightful analysis. A big problem with people on the left is that they have more passion than brains. Consequently their advocacy efforts are more obnoxious than effective. SJWs would get much better results if the... |

| Nice or mean, I think those pre-Enlightened societies worked, when a relative-few elitists put lightly upon many other people. More people are reportedly sick or indisposed than healthy and well-off, so that few support the many. You have inverted that social pyramid, yet don't see it as an unstabl... |
