So here was the headline on Breitbart.
Intrigued, I took a look at how it was possible to significantly increase the number of consumers in a closed system and not simultaneously create growth (unless the production side of the equation was max’d out).
As in all things manipulative, success comes gaslighting your audience. Changing the meaning of words helps bunches as well. There is a lot going on with this article and I’m not going to get into any more than the first two paragraphs.
First paragraph: In a rebuke of the neo-liberal orthodoxy (1) which has dominated both major political parties in Britain, a study has found that mass migration has not actually stimulated the economy and has been a major drag (2) on public services and the housing sector.
- When did one of the most meaningful characteristics of a free market (supply and demand) become ‘neo-liberal orthodoxy’?
- A ‘major’ drag would result in less available public services and more available housing. Exactly the opposite is the case here: more people are availing themselves to public services and the demand for housing has gone through the roof.
Second paragraph A report from the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS) and co-authored by former immigration minister Robert Jenrick (1) finds record levels of immigration imposed upon the country (2) by the so-called Conservative Party — despite promising the public to reduce the influx of foreigners following Brexit — has not been correlated with an increase to economic growth per capita. (3) This report must have been ginned up for consumption in the US, as Jenrick is one of the least credible bog (think swamp) creatures in the UK. God did not create enough electrons to get into all of this guy’s faults but through the magic of the interwebs we can link to the Wiki article.
- This report must have been ginned up for consumption in the US, as Jenrick is one of the least credible bog (think swamp) creatures in the UK. God did not create enough electrons to get into all of this guy’s faults but through the magic of the interwebs we can link to the Wiki article. did it work? They used his name in order to hang this report on a seemingly credible official title that most will not evaluate.
- Here it comes, leveraging the politics of divisiveness with words and phrases ‘imposed’ and ‘so called Conservative Party’.
- And finally, here is where they are slipping the mickey to the simple minded masses: ‘per capita’. So, economic growth can be going like gangbusters, but ‘per capita’ income drops. No shit! If I add a buttload of low/no income folk to the equasion then ‘per capita’ income MUST drop. The only way that it wouldn’t drop is if all of the immigrates (on average) immediately earned more than the population of Briton earned on average.
Just because I’ve become accustomed to being lied to by politicians, the news media, and auto repairpersons doesn’t mean I’m going to overlook it.
Speaking of being lied to and hoodwinked, the entire nation of Nigeria must have established Facebook accounts. Surely at least half of that nation has decided the path to riches flows directly from posing as a MILF or GILF. Here are some examples:
These two creatures (what’s the proper term for an AI cartoon) are shown in the same setting with the one on the right demonstrating the buildings in he background a little larger. That’s something not possible given the setting. But there is also a problem:
The problem? The creature on the left. . .
It’s not just the fingers (left photo 6, right photo 4) that AI seems to have a problem with; it’s also the background (note the rail behind the creature on the right):
Almost every AI created image has a flaw of some type that your subconscious mind registers but you can’t quite figure it out without some conscious effort. A couple more to prove this point.
Sometimes, it’s more than just an added or deformed digit your mind sees, sometimes it’s an entire limb.
That’s my morning rant, time to check the fence lines. The most simple rule about raising cattle? They’re easier to keep up than they are to put up.
