He Wasn’t Wrong​

Twenty-five years ago, the Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker wrote an impassioned observation about the decline of New York.

“Imagine having to take the 7 Train to the ballpark looking like you’re riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It’s depressing. The biggest thing I don’t like about New York are the foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?”

He was roundly condemned for this by the national media, by Major League Baseball, and was even forced to undergo professional counseling for the thought crime of noticing the consequences of the foreign invasion the city was undergoing. And now, with what appears to be the imminent election of a socialist Muslim born in Uganda to the highest elective office in New York City, he’s taking a well-earned victory lap.

25 years ago I criticized New York for its rapid decline into a third world country. I was forced to undergo Psychological Counseling, as if I were the crazy one. 25 years later, the city is voting in a muslim socialist for mayor.

This is an object lesson for all of the puritanical goodthinkers and immigration fetishists who drank the equalitarian Kool-Aid. Those Cassandras you condemned for being “crazy” and “racist” and “bigoted” were right all along. All of history, recent and ancient, clearly testifies to the obvious fact that if you permit a sufficient number of foreigners to enter your country, they will change it to suit their preferences with absolutely no respect for what was there before them.

The equalitarian ideology has failed. The Enlightenment has failed. Multiculturalism and anti-racism have failed. Immigration is a clear, present, and existential danger to most of the nations of the West.

If you are still having trouble understanding the concept, ask an American Indian to explain it to you.

Same thing happened to atheist with athiesm+ which for some reason only hates Christianity. A ton of groups got co-opted over fear of being called racist of sexist. It all traces back to white liberal women. They took over every group and now the only place remaining for everyone else is the alt-right.

These are all recent and I think all American based companys with the possible exception of Nestle. These arent "sky falling" numbers but its very very worrying when hiring data is so weak. With the cost to onboard and train new hires at an all time high "job hugging" is becoming more frequent with much less turnover than previous years witch is good for people who already have long held jobs (read old people) but much more challenging for people in the 39 and under bracket that simply havent been alive long enough to have built up time with a reliable company save the very very top of the population,

All those companys have had record profits for years after year and IM NO FAG ASS SOCIALIST but my goodness it seems wrong to be MAKING PROFIT yet laying people off, not firing them for cause or anything but just saying "Thanks for the value you helped generate this year we are going to use this capitol you helped us amass to replace you with automated services we could never have afforded without exploiting a terrible labor market"

If the people at the top keep making tons of money at the expense of the bottom 60-80% of people not having any long term hopes for job security your going to see massive sections of the populace "checking out of the labor market".

Really think about it, if the company your working at can be making record profits yet still shed 10% of its workforce in a year how can you ever feel safe working there? If on boom years they STILL LAY PEOPLE OFF then why even try to make the line go up?

I dont know what the solution is but people need to be more aware of this.

Look, they misplaced the Uhaul. The illegal dei hire that was supposed to drive it to the ballot count decided to take a siesta instead.

I would be supremely funny, if, on an election night, ICE busted an illegal immigrant with a bogus CDL driving a box truck, and, the truck's cargo turned out to be ballots of dubious origin. It would be even funnier if, the ESL driver failed to understand his handler's insinuations about discretion, and consequently recorded his cargo paperwork thoroughly enough to prove that those ballots were illegally paid for.

But, because illegal immigrants getting CDLs in plain violation of the requirements, and because vote fraud are both only the fever dreams of racists, this funny thing will never ever happen.

Why are houses so cheap in Kentucky? Houses that look like they would be $1+ million in my state are like $200k.

200k will get you a very very nice house out here. once you hit 500k and up you are talkign about some amazing houses and hundreds of acres. I couldn't tell you why, it's wild. This is a few counties away from me, this is a 50 million dollar home on the coast. Only reason it came up for sale was two assholes fighting over their grandparents money.

WHOA you’re really selling me on Kentucky, what are the downsides? I’m sure Louisville isn’t too great.

I'll be interested to see this quarter's FEC numbers when they come out. I wonder how much this Gallrein guy will be able to collect. I know he already tried to run for state senate and failed.
 


Lol amazing. Baltimore police are such shit but I can't say I didn't laugh at this clip.

Metro louisville is horrible, most of the other places have pros and cons. Once you get 30-45 minutes away from the river you are generally in a real good area. Lexington and Bowling Green (Lexington is UK, Bowling Green is WKU) are even decent for college towns. Versailles (where that house was) is one of the prettiest places in kentucky, it's about 45 minutes outside of lexington.

Now i'm more a rural type guy, and it's God's country out here.. and well. i'm not going to dox myself, but i will give the demographics of a town a few towns away from me (mine is closer to 95 percent white)
