I really love being a high school physics teacher. I get to introduce kids to a way of looking at the world that they probably haven't been exposed to before. Fortunately we're given the funding to provide labs and to print notes and worksheets that allow the kids to practice the skills we've taught them--   Oh...right.

There was a bumper sticker... Wouldn't it be nice if schools had all the money they needed and the Air Force had to have a bake sale to buy a bomber.

Coincidentally my wealth was spontaneuosly created one day, and most definitely has nothing to do with being part of the system (to which I do not contribute).

Congrats on your new life, and on leaving all the less privileged people behind. No one owes you anything. Politics in the US aren't going to be fixed, as the problem is foundational and there's no appetite to do anything about it. Expecting others to stay in a bad situation for your benefit sounds like some FYGM bullshit. Is this also what you tell refugees at the border? "You should have stayed, you're leaving all the less privileged people behind. Fleeing is the ultimate privilege, refugee go home!" Lambert has issued a correction as of 12:15 on Nov 10, 2018 |

Literally seen right wingers make this argument about Syrian refugees. Would not be surprised if right wingers had made the same argument about Jews before WWII. I know the Daily Mail campaigned against letting jewish children in to stay with relatives when people were trying to get their kids out of Nazi Germany.

You aren't fleeing a war that destroyed your livelyhood, lol. Anyway, I was talking about white affluent liberals who are the ones who always bring up immigration (because they are the ones who can afford it), not about those in danger of feeling the effects of reactionarism (who can't afford it). And it's in pretty poor taste to use the plight of the latter to legitimize the actions of the former. If somebody is in existential danger, then yes, maybe get out. steinrokkan has issued a correction as of 13:29 on Nov 10, 2018 |

And yes, the US isn't an active war zone, it's not Syria. But that doesn't mean individuals aren't allowed to say "gently caress it" and leave whenever they want. They don't owe you to stay in a situation they deem bad for themselves just because you think it isn't "bad enough". American journalists couldn't even band together when Trump yelled at and expelled one of their colleagues this week. But sure, things would be soooo much better if a few people didn't leave.
