I love that we're pulling out of Afghanistan and talking about upholding our commitment to those who worked with us while simultaneously not allowing more refugees.

FrozenVent posted:I mean with an active pandemic and such it might not be a great time to encourage mass movements of people. I agree with this, with a side helping of facialimpediment posted:I'm irrationally hopeful that the cap gets lifted in a few months once vaccines are 100% available and chudfucks can't yell about refugees getting vaccines before (white) Americans. Ideally, we will just keep the border soft closed until we can just vaccinate people as they come in, which SHOULD wait until everyone already here is dealt with(I am in favor of roving vaccinations squads, myself. The south park antivax episode gives me Ideas)

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:I love this new sentiment of 'Nobody Wants to Work Anymore' This thread was a good one, it's all about a small business owner that can't find workers and is close to closure. https://twitter.com/KT_So_It_Goes/status/1383099116486594565?s=19 Except of course, the guy is part of a rich family, likely doesn't pay his people anywhere near enough, and thinks the covid death count is fake and so masks are optional in his restaurant. Spoiler: it made it to Fox News and now has been repeated by a Senator!

We need to pull out every interpreter, Afgan govt worker, ANA SOF, or Afghan intel person that wants to leave. Those poor loving people are going to be massacred and lose the civil war against the Taliban.

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:this one is my favorite (think they took it town) My experience breaks down into two primary categories of business employers. The first is an employer who views you as dispensable and just wants to pay you as little as possible until you need to be replaced. You can have unpaid time off, but no benefits or money. The second sees that you can provide value, so they offer a decent wage and maybe even benefits, but they want you to only exist for that job, 45-65 hours a week pretty standard in blue collar work to max out how much money they can grind out of your body. As a guy who has been working for 22 years since I was a high school student, fuckin A, I don't want to work. We all watch people who have never worked a day in their life skate through on institutional and filial inheritance all the god drat time and nothing makes me sicker than hearing a working person carry water for a fuckin millionaire on the matters of wages or taxes or safety

We had the same issue here last year when people were arguing that CERB was incentivizing people not to look for work. My response was “pay your employees more than 2,000 a month, dumbass.” (We do have an actual labor shortage though, but a lot of it is a pay shortage. I have some super in-demand certification in a ridiculously under manned field, but am I going to go back to that poo poo when I can make 95% as much in an easier job? Duck no.)

If you can't find someone to do the work you want done, you're not offering enough to do it. That's some econ 101 poo poo that republicans like to ignore because they're actually the party of inherited wealth, not free market economics

Take it further and offer no-questions asylum for girls who are old enough to make rational decisions for themselves and women of child-bearing age. Get Canada in on it as well. Any country that's had boots on the ground in Afghanistan for the past TWENTY loving YEARS should offer to take in people who are going to be brutally murdered and/or subjugated when we leave.

BIG HEADLINE posted:Take it further and offer no-questions asylum for girls who are old enough to make rational decisions for themselves and women of child-bearing age. Exactly. Those women will be brutalized, repressed, or worse, under the Taliban. God forbid ISIS in Afghanistan expands more than it has, then those women be in much more danger of unspeakable abuse. It's our loving responsibility to those people.

boop the snoot posted:Really because at the senate hearing yesterday it sounded like we were letting all 130m Mexican citizens into the US to infect everyone with covid, and that doesn’t match up with what Stephen Miller would say is a “good job” Yeah, Miller is mostly trolling. He's saying all of the above, while saying Biden did the right thing on refugees. Except Miller wants them all dead, so Miller is lying about what he thinks. This appears to be a situation where Biden and his people care too much about what Republicans are thinking, saying, or doing about the border, then conflating it to refugees. They still don't quite understand that Republicans are going to demagogue the gently caress out of everything, and outright make poo poo up, no matter what you do. Therefore, just do the good policy and don't give a gently caress about how it plays on the other side. You get the worst of both worlds if you try to straddle the fence. Unless Biden and his folks actually believe the cap is correct, in which case, gently caress them.

Real talking to the dead poo poo and they keep creating more of it. Edit: Jesus I nearly posted that United States of Al thing a few weeks ago, it's like they're ADVERTISING how painfully terrible it is
