Asylum seeker =/= immigrant.
And yes, the massive fuckup with all those West European countries letting in asylum seekers is very unpopular with the population (see backpedaling in Denmark).
In the EU, as an immigrant you are able to get […] medical care
As is fucking proper. Do you want people too sick to work on the streets?
I’m not an USian so for the last part of your comment, I also have no idea about the sentiments.
people in EU, where they get a lot of money
Can you elaborate? Because I don’t think it’s true and I can’t Google anything that would confirm your argument. (So I think you might’ve dreamed up that)
You:
Higher rates of population growth can be good
Commenter before you:
I’m always shocked when people who understand infinite growth is a fallacy when it comes to the corporate world, don’t understand that trying to grow the population into infinity year after year is just the government equivalent of that fallacy
Sure “the higher rates of population growth” can be good. Usually for the wealthy and or privileged classes though, and ultimately always they don’t solve the underlying issue causing the original problem.
Thank you captain obvious. What’s your point in the discussion, as you havent made one in that comment.
If you’re willing to pay what people were proportionally willing to pay in 1959, you can still buy a washer dryer set that will last a lifetime
If only that was true. It isn’t.
The rest is spot on.
Seems like a good reason for unions and worker protection
Yes. There’s not enough unions in the EU and the power is overwhelmingly favouring the employers (interestingly that is the effect of allowing mass immigration into the EU: more workers who didn’t unionise and were willing to work more hours for less money tends to weaker the worker class power; I have no idea how to give us more power short of literally eating the rich). I don’t even want to think how shit the worker situation is in the USA.
nothing is stopping people from building enough housing save the desire to keep prices artificially high
I don’t know where you’re located. I live in a big European city. The space here is limited. The new housing is mostly being built outside of the city really, and it will take years for it to get the proper treatment (like buses, trams, metro line). The immigrants are directly competing with me for the in-city apartments. This could be different if you’re located in, IDK, Iceland, where the space is not really a problem, or in USA where you don’t have public services.
our shit wouldn’t be as cheap
Our cheap shit is imported from cheap countries though?
Given more demand yet they could have built more but little enough to again maximize gain
In 10 to 20 years. But the problem of competing for limited resources is now. Seeing a problem here?
How has immigration affected the average voter?
More competition on the job market, housing market and so on? Especially visible in big companies and big cities?
And immigrants famously will work longer hours for less, thus the capitalists are using them to keep wages low.
So what does it actually do?
It replaces the launcher (“desktop”) of your phone with something else. Maybe something faster, or using less resources, or something you can customize to your taste.
What do you need that penis for? Rape or worse?
Which is illegal?
Makes sense someone removed it
Here we are.
You couldn’t have make more stupid argument.
And you did utilize the fruits you had, but there never was an abundance of them like for example in medieval Italy.
Yes. Historically British Isles had meh climate for fruit production. You could either forage for berries, but fruits were mostly seasonal apples or pears or plums, but the harvest seasons were rather short.
And if you were to say, for example, that pasta with tomato sauce is an Italian dish, I’d argue it’s not, as pasta was eaten across the whole Europe, and likely first added tomato happened in Britain.
Bolognese sauce with pasta on the other hand would definitely be Italian dish. Do you see the distinction?
Fair.
Polish rosół is much more similar to French consomme than to ramen though. The stretch to ramen would be rather significant.
I mean even scrambled eggs is too much for any Italian hotel or breakfast restaurant I’ve been to. Like literally as if they made it mediocre on purpose.
They make good meat dishes (roasts, meat pies), but then they pair them with the most uninspiring sides…
I mean… British were always shafted by their nobility. The land wasn’t known for fruits or sweet veggies, the rent in UK paid to the landlord was relatively high, so most peasants ate pickles, chutneys or different mushed veggies as sides.
But has British food historically been good? No, it has not.
Oh boy. You should Google that, because you couldn’t be more wrong.
Edit:
Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forme_of_Cury XIV century cookbook. Damn, oldest known recipe for macaroni and cheese comes from it.
XIV - XV century whole Europe was jelly for English cuisine.
XVI you were the capital of pastries and sweets.
Well, turns out that for the past few hundred years men cooks were only the talented ones or those that had interest, while for women it was not a choice.
Out of the food you mentioned only Beef Wellington and English Breakfast/Ulster Fry/ are uniquely British.
Everything else is either not a dish (fried sausage and potatoes definitely is not a dish you philistine :P) or not distinct enough.
Pork pies, fish and chips, roast, shepherds pie - it is eaten in Britain, but is not unique to them, as was historically eaten across the whole Europe (I mean it is fish and chips, it didn’t need “inventing”).
