Yes, today we have polarized sides and group tension. Russia has done this around the world for the last 20 years. Besides oil, Russia exports propaganda. Notice how the GUN issue has divided the US.

Meanwhile, immigrants do most of the grunt work in this country, because most American citizens refuse to do it. You want tomatoes for under $8/lb? Then accept that it's probably a Mexican picking the tomato off the vine at agricultural wages (which is sub-minimum). At least they're willing to do the work. |

All true, but not because we can't, but because a group has been trying to "starve the beast" since the 1950's. And at this point, there is no way to collect all the guns, so with ONLY 400 million in circulation no matter what we do right now, it is not going to be peaceful anytime soon. And there is a good chance, some want more violence - I know Putin will be thrill to watch us kill each other. |

The main problem with our current system (in my not so humble opinion) is the court system is almost completely underfunded. The result is people come here and claim asylum, which is legal, and they get scheduled for a hearing usually 2 or 3 years later. Since we also don't have housing for a couple of million people waiting for their hearing, they are released and instructed to come back on their hearing date. We need an overhaul of the court system, so someone comes in, they have 1 week to prepare their case, and they get a hearing. If they can stay they are given asylum, if their claim is denied they should be deported. The problem with that is that it might actually work, but then the politicians would lose that talking point at the next election. Just like the mass shooting issue. It could be fixed, but it won't be. That is another talking point politicians can run on. They have to keep us hating each other in order to stay in office. |

..........The US is on the verge of using A.I. and robotics to transform just about all industries - even McDonalds'. So, if the US government was planning ahead, it would want to restrict immigration to the legal variety and mainly "rocket -scientist-types". |

Then the question becomes, is it better to shoot it with a semi-automatic rifle or a bolt-action? Or beat it to death with a pitching wedge?

It also has discussions with leaders in major employment industries on what can be done to minimize the impact on existing employees. LOTS of good information, but don't look for sound bites. Most discussions are hours long. |

And why is it some want threads closed that are still in line with the rules?
If you don't like a thread you don't have to click on it. If there are a lot of posts, it would seem to me that means some people still find it interesting. If you don't like a poster, you can block them. |
