The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

nytimes.com - NYC migrant crisis explained

"What to Know About the Migrant Crisis in New York City
Over 100,000 migrants have arrived in the city over the last year. Why are they coming to New York? And what will happen to them next"

Why is the Times, using "crisis" to describe immigration?

So big deal, 100,000 human beings came to New York over one year period of time. WTF are America's Blue Cities *that* consumed by financial drains thanks to shitty decayed culture, that there's a "crisis" now?

100,000 people over 1 year. Geezuz, just call Taylor Swift's staff, they take in almost 100k people in a night or two.

Diversity and inclusion is a strength.

And the New York Times shouldn't promote xenophobia by referring to the arrival of immigrants as "crisis".

Rather, celebrate that the racist Ellis Island crap isn't in play anymore. Racist America can't exclude people over poverty, or health hazard, or refusal to speak the local language. Ellis Island has racist edicts on the walls like "don't bring the old country, or this will become the old country".......so obsolete, *giggle* especially now, you have foreign factions in your little country rising up against your foreign policy not for domestic reasons as American voters, but as humans whose allegiance is NOT to your dumbass "democracy!" or your Racist European Founding.....but their allegiance is to their own native roots.

Just like someone on TMF used to warn would happen.

Crisis? Look, STFU, pay for the migrants.

And cut your Social Security in a few years too and bump your retirement age.

The Google Jockey's links - powerless in the face of real events.
