Here's an idea for amnesty, for illegal aliens.

Try living somewhere that the MoneyMart went tits up! Loan sharks go broke... at one point two hookers were out by the gaas pumps underbidding each other..... waited out competition with a fancier shop and accredited employees cuz their overhead was a killer and I was training local kids with grant money and much lower rent. Bought all their entire stock for $900 as he would've lost money to pack and haul it away. bugged my cousin to move her cappuccino shop up here, they'd just built a new University and no one else sold that there. She could've charges a dollar more than on Hastings St. and customers would be grateful to get it. But of course UNBC was too far, too cold, not a place for convertibles, couldn't go see Mick Jagger perform in Depends for $200 or haunt the malls in Bellingham... She eventually gave up trying to market by selling for a dime less than the other 5 shops on the block. I'll tell you again that you live in the best country on Earth with limitless opportunities. You just have to adapt

As is my stepson's wife. She sews and makes outfits and sells them to the movie industry in Vancouver & Hollywood. Makes way more than I did owning a retail shop. Like the Syrian guy and his chocolate business. The Ukranian woman who took over a diner here and unlike thed 3 previous owners has the brains to be open at supper time because that's when customers will spend more. The Korean guy that bought a failed cafe in the next town and opened a fantastic, profitable sushi place because there was none within 100 miles. The guy from China who services networks in 2 towns here cuz we got old and retired. The East Indian guy who took the risk there too and turned a failed Ricky's slop shop into a Tandoori place for the same reason. See anything here? It's the immigrants that will take the risks and do the work and not our sons and daughters. To make money. For themselves. Not waiting and whining for hand me down "hourly job jobs" from someone else.

So-called science has repeatedly erred in making false claims.
herbie replied to blackbird's topic in Religion & Politics
You just blew any serious discussion by using "so-called science" to open it. That proves you have neither any idea of what science is or how it works nor what a theory is. At your age, you never will learn due to sheer stubborn determination and refusal so there's no point discussing it with you any further, -
Look at the half empty glass why don't you? You're all for free enterprise, so they got hit with years of Covid, costs and debt. Now's your chance to buy one of those businesses cheap and run it better without that burden. Or simply take over an abandoned market opportunity yourself from scratch. You adore a market economy and one of the basic principles is to make opportunity from someone elses misfortune. They took the hit. No guarantees but you didn't.

He says, implying the Tories were any better....

Anyone older than 30 should see right through that old myth. In my University days billion dollar budgets were headlines, now trillion dollar deficits are. Money is imaginary only dependent on what people believe it is. Hell look at Bitcoin... so imaginary and worth zero the moment an EMP or solar flare hits. People whining about power needs for EVs as they invest into gobbling huge amounts into sheer vapour. Look at the main international currency, from where they still make pennies, believing they'll someday be worth something again. and paper $1 bills.
