These two groups are the same people.

It's interesting, because the fewer immigrants there are, the more alien they seem, so the easier it is to fearmonger about them

This is way better than Reddit

Elon musk is an immigrant.

Mudrock family are immigrants, also were in UK while publishing xenophobia.

Shiity people often abuse the USA's liberties in bad faith and prosper.

But govt people allowed the mergers until the media are mostly owned by them, soon there will be ONE major grocery chain in USA, apparently the Loblaw imbroglio is invisible from Wash DC, and buying and selling personal data is commonplace, not even taxed much less protected.

Those Pogo comics of them going downhill out of control are from the 50s, that pure copper penny still hasn't dropped.

Who got bailed out in 2008? And who bailed them out?

Anyone whose income depends on harming others has an incentive to distract the people they’re harming. Point a finger at any out-group & that job is done. Immigrants are the easiest out group to post a finger at

Don’t forget the massive property tax increases and home insurance increases. Both have doubled in less than 10 years. At least they have here in FL with our wack job governor.

Yes but that also has a lot to do with insurance companies finally using climate data for their rates.

And the lack of state income tax. The tourist taxes only go so far, they've got to make that money somewhere, property tax is one of the places Florida balances the books.

Back in 2019 I needed to move across the country on very short notice. It didn't leave me any time to sell my house. A friend of mine was getting absolutely screwed on rental payments, so I did some math, and offered to rent it to them at a rate that just barely covered the mortgage and taxes. It was SIGNIFICANTLY below market rate, and significantly less than he was currently paying.

I guess that makes me a parasite.

you're surely aware that your situation is the exception rather than the rule

Doesn't matter, according to hexbear he still has to die, "he should have gifted the house to his friend rather than become a slum lord" and all.

He should at least let the friend own however much equity in the house they helped pay with their rent payment, to be paid out when the house is sold
