Baloogan posted::scream: oh no produce will be 10% more expensive if we can't exploit immigrants in slave-like-conditions how will we SURVIVE I gotta find the clip, but even Adam Carolla is arguing that the immigrants, others should be paid a living wage at this point. He kinda shrugged his shoulders at that talking point when it was brought up. "it's going to cost what it's going to cost".

I want an easier path to citizenship, a min. wage tied to a standard of living, a guaranteed income for the poor (loving NIXON proposed this), and a public option/single payer. These are things that seem to terrify the modern democratic party...

Dapper_Swindler posted:arnt most of refugees not even from mexico any more, but from central america, i know a ton are from el salvador because of the robocop/warriors level gang violence. which is indeed the problem. It feels like the left political class in this country doesn't want to acknowledge the reasons why this is happening, and perhaps there should be steps taken to solve this. it feels like the US is being forced to take care of a lot of other country's problems in this regard.* *Which they did in fact, sadly play a hand in creating. The CIA did a lot of horrible poo poo keeping fascist dictators in place in those regions rather than letting democratically elected leftists take over... I've also had a theory that the reason why a lot of GOP voters are so hellbent in accepting "climate change denial" is not because they really want to, but rather I think their paranoid about the economic impact of signing various regulations would do to their livelihoods. I imagine after 40 plus years of having their jobs shipped overseas and the political class in this country not offering any sort of alternative? There's gonna be mistrust.

I don't remember who it was, but I had an argument on these very forums with some poster in which he simultaneously frothed at the mouth against the racism of stupid rednecks in making it harder for illegals to get jobs in agriculture, and laid sick burns on lazy, dumb, culturally incompatible, unreliable, cheating, untrainable... Indian immigrants taking jobs in his cushy tech firm.

it's kind of an extension of the woke brands thing but this is 100% a marketing move because it's plainly obvious that there's a market out there of people who will buy up your thing - no matter what it is, no matter your history, no matter how horrible you are - as long as you make just the smallest, least convincing "progressive" noise she's autist. note that she expresses none of the traits that would accompany this, nor indeed, is it even brought up in game. but totally trust us: she's representative of them.

I though Overwatch was a game where character-less avatars killed each other in arenas devoid of story. I don't remember Quake III having elaborate official extended universe fanfiction for each of the character models.

George "The W Stands For War Criminal" Bush is now being praised by these dumbfucks because he gave the most mealy mouthed "yea trump bad" and now he's a loving hero to these dumb loving assholes.

I would argue the reason Ubisoft does diversity right is inextricably linked to why their games never work at launch.they have countless studios all over the worldand they end up with the most diverse creative teams almost by accident as a result. The downside of this obviously being that there is real communication issues leading to buggy messes.

I just watched a scary as gently caress video (I realize it's a youtube, list one), but holy gently caress, this country could really use an upgrade to it's infrastructure amongst other things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_DpUF1fvuc Christ, it's even saying that the pressure of having to work so much to pay off student loans (of 300k plus) could indirectly lead to MISSILEERS going nutso and yeah. How is this not being used by someone on the political left to demonstrate how hosed we are and why we need to stop electing people taking corporate money? Christ I know even TRUMP voters who are terrified of the stuff that would be in this video, and would not object to measures to improve the matters. A "New Deal" in this country really needs to be pushed by someone, and I mean now.
