Venezuela is not a stable country. There is active famine. You can easily make an argument against the war, but to suggest it's a stable country is false.
That's part of the USA's plan, in the hopes that the people will turn on Maduro and oust him so the USA doesn't have to do it.
But how did that strategy work out in Libya? Its an absolute mess. Now its a conduit for African migration into Europe. Who knows what destabilizing Venezuela will do.
The US has deported millions of people, including in ICE raids, over the past 20 years, under both parties. Notably, the Obama administration built 'cages' (AP coined the term) for children of illegals.
The notion that this is new, or that it is a single side, is of course an attempt to paper over historical data which is readily accessible.
Authoritarian regimes tend to have no checks and balances, whereas the other two branches of government have both repeatedly restrained the executive this year, through both law and judicial rulings. They also tend to clamp down on free speech, which isn't happening (but is in Europe), or disarm the population (try owning a firearm in China or North Korea).
Depending on the day, Obama/Biden either supposedly let in tens of millions with completely open borders, or else they were the party that innovated cruelty against prospective immigrants. Depending on which narrative is convenient.
You seriously want to tell me the Obama and Trump are no different in their treatment of illegal and legal immigrants?
How often did Obama call them drug traffickers and rapists.
How often did the Obama administration deport people to some of the worst prisons in foreign countries.
Or answer me this. If Trump doesn’t do anything different what is a bragging about?
And how could Obama do the sane with less money and people?
Something isn’t adding up, don’t you think?
>How often did Obama call them drug traffickers and rapists.
Probably less often then he drone striked the middle east while getting the Nobel Peace Prize.
Yes, forget about illegals breaking laws, focus on the hurtful words Trump is using to call those breaking laws.
Obama isn't president anymore, and a lot dem policies of 2008 era are now the same ones republicans are pushing but being called fascist for it. Crazy.
This is why libs are so cooked, because it's all about performative actions and optics for you. You worship Obama but bash Trump for doing what Obama was doing or campaigning on.
If Trump would have build those child detainment cage camps, you guys would have been frothing at the mouth, but since Nobel peace prize Obama built them, then it's OK, only Trump is the evil one for also using them as well.
Taking a 75% pay cut for free Healthcare that costs 1k a month anyway doesn't math. Not to mention the higher taxes for this privilege. European senior developers routinely get paid less than US junior developers.
Aside from the numerous unsourced claims and hand wringing over people with garden variety center-right takes, this blog post also falsely claims Curtis Yarvin has himself claimed to be a fascist, which appears to be an outright fabrication.
Enter on visa that requires marriage within 3 months, don't do it despite promising the government you would, then cry victim when you're deported for overstaying an entire year?
Why can't they just do what their visa REQUIRES by law?
How easy it is to get married? Get the various birth certificates, get eligibility papers, get an appointment, oops, you are over the 3 months. Beep, 6 months in some DHS warehouse, have fun, try again later.
This is a misrepresentation. Some of these people entered on the K1 which REQUIRES marriage within 3 months. They get married 18 months later and wonder why they're getting deported for a giant visa overstay. It's fraudulent, you enter on a visa, explicitly promise to marry quickly, do not do so and expect no repercussions.
As someone who utilizes these tools for anti-fraud purposes, Firefox is just as trackable if not more trackable than Chrome (especially because you stand out by using a niche browser in the first place).
Firefox exposes a massive amount of identifiable information via canvas, audio device and feature detection methods. There's also active methods to detect private windows, use of the developer console and more.
-window was resized/moved, send a websocket snitch to the backend
- keep a consistent web socket open, or fetch a backend-api call for updates on X events
- more calls are made, means user is probably scrolling, inject more things/different things.
I see some js obfuscators out there where I look at the js file and it's all mumbo jumbo.
It is indeed a privacy nightmare, where whatever we do feeds the algorithms to aide in making other people do things.
But it's also used in network security, organizations etc. Staff/employees will use the system a certain way, if something enters it without the behaviors, it's detectable. I assume that's what you mean in anti-fraud.
Sad part is we don't know what the data is ever used for, and it's often bought and sold and the cycle repeats.
In the end all this shit we have to deal with is probably 99% used for deciding which ads to show you, which we are gonna block anyway, and it's all a complete and utter waste of computing power and electricity. This is how big tech "makes the world a better place" apparently.
If you enable privacy.resistFingerprinting in about:config I believe instead of trying to prevent fingerprinting entirely, it's supposed to make things annoying for the fingerprinters by regularly changing the various spoofed factors.
It was never sustainable. Because the model relied on healthy people subsidizing the people who make extremely poor choices (obesity, smoking, drugs or a combination of that). Obamacare's modeling predicted that significantly more healthy people would sign up, driving costs down. It didn't happen.
Now it is a system that ONLY the unhealthy benefit from. Everyone else pays for extremely bad choices.
So it was my extremely poor choice to inherit kidney disease? Or maybe it's my extremely poor choice to undergo dialysis thrice weekly so I can survive? Or my extremely poor choice to even bother living it?
There are a ton of reasons for ill health in this world before you should even suggest character flaws.
I don't think it's fair to characterize unhealthy people as making bad choices. Many choices do affect health, but plenty of healthy people end up needing medical care every day through no fault of their own. Then there's the systemic issues of our healthcare system, low-cost low-quality food (HFCS and other garbage), and even if the consumer knows how to take better care of themselves, they may not have the resources to do much better depending on their life situation (think juggling jobs and taking care of kids, etc). So, I don't think it's strictly a choice to be healthy or to be a drain on the system.
Why is that only an major issue in the US? we have to step back look at the purpose and functionality of an insurance to realise something is fundamentally off in the calculation (Like this post does the napkin maths for).
Corruption greed and blooming price gouging in a market devoid of regulation is to me the only thing that can make the situation this bad.
We already know insurance companies pay less than the out of pocket price, so why is the premium so high that paying out of pocket can even come close to beating insurance.
Obamacare is basically based on the Swiss system, so not every other developed country has Medicare for all (even the German system is “it’s complicated”). The main difference between the Swiss system and Obamacare though is the Swiss outlaw health insurance being provided as a benefit at work (so basically no group plans, almost everyone is in the same risk pools). Foreigners living in Switzerland need to document their purchase of Swiss health insurance.
Switzerland does have mandated universal health care, so essentially the same result as "Medicare for All". It's just implemented in a different form: mandatory basic insurance + supplemental insurance, instead of a single-payer system. A number of other European countries have something similar.
Agreed. The ACA was a compromise solution meant to move the US closer to a single-payer system, but was later stripped of many of its clauses, making it of much less value (though not rescinded altogether -- thank you, McCain!)
much of Europe force a fixes price table too. Different Insurance companies and private individuals pay the same amount for the same things. That create a even playing field where market forces actually help rather than hurt the outcome.
> Obamacare's modeling predicted that significantly more healthy people would sign up, driving costs down. It didn't happen.
It was intentionally fucked with. The requirement to get insurance was nulled out for those young, healthy folks. The end result was obvious - eventual collapse of the system.
