If the excuse for mass immigration was the west needed more workers how can it be justified now that AI is about to disrupt most white collar jobs in the next two years?

Crazy times. The old saying “believe half of what you see and none of what you hear” is passé. AI now means you should believe nothing you don’t hear and see live. Mediated content—photos, videos, audio, screenshots—can be fabricated convincingly enough that it no longer counts as reliable evidence on its own. Only live, in-person observation or hard-to-fake primary evidence stays trustworthy by default from now on. 😮‍💨

CCP is running documented asymmetric warfare on the West via United Front ops, election interference, espionage, elite capture & transnational repression. Multiple Western intel agencies confirm it. “Globalist” influence (WEF stakeholder capitalism, UN agendas) is real open lobbying by elites that also confirms it. youtu.be/0Db_VgPW5C4?si=He6d… Western democracies need to end financial ties to both groups if it ever expects to get back to normalcy.

Real democracy vs CCP and Globalist oligarch corrupted electoral dictatorship masquerading as democracy. youtu.be/j-COMODBFgk?si=i53Z…

The Swiss have got it right. The rest of western democracies need to enable the electorate to decide policy like mass migration and who gets to become a citizen rather than be at the mercy of corrupt electoral dictatorships that have been corrupted by the CCP and Globalist oligarchs. youtu.be/j-COMODBFgk?si=i53Z…

For you Americans who want (free 😂) government health care here’s what it looks like in Canada. My wife had a scan for pain in her chest which the doctor suspected was her gall bladder. We didn’t know but the technician who took the scan said she had a spot on her pancreas that should be rescanned. We only found out about this operable dime sized spot 4 years later when her pain finally led to a new scan. By then the tumor had grown to the size of a tennis ball and wasn’t operable any longer. She died 8 months later. The “free” health care system killed her.

To those Americans thinking of voting against republicans because of the cost of gas due to Iran war be the cost because of illegal immigration here’s how grok estimates they compare. About $1,156 per taxpayer per year for illegal immigration (FAIR estimate) versus roughly $700–$1,100 extra per driver/household per year in energy costs from the Iran war (at current prices). Illegal immigration cost The most widely cited figure comes from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) 2023 study (still referenced in 2025–2026 reports, including by DOGE and others): • Net annual cost: $150.7 billion (gross costs ~$182 billion for education, healthcare, justice, welfare, etc., minus ~$31–32 billion in taxes paid by illegal immigrants). • Per American taxpayer: $1,156/year ($957 after tax offsets). This is an advocacy-group estimate focused on current-year net fiscal burden at federal, state, and local levels (largest pieces: K-12 education and healthcare). Other analyses (e.g., some CBO longer-term projections) use different methodologies and can show smaller net costs or even net benefits over a decade when factoring in broader economic effects and tax contributions. The $1,156 figure is the standard one used in the public debate for “cost per taxpayer.” Current gas prices due to the Iran war As of October 17, 2026, the U.S. national average for regular gasoline is $4.31 per gallon (AAA). • Pre-war (late February 2026): ~$2.98–$3.00. • Increase: ~$1.30–$1.35/gallon (~44%). • Diesel is far higher (~$6.33, up ~68%). The U.S.–Israel war with Iran (started late February 2026) has disrupted Strait of Hormuz oil flows and refining, keeping prices elevated for months. Extra annual cost to drivers/households: • Average driver uses ~500–550 gallons/year (~13,500–14,000 miles at ~25 mpg). • Extra cost at +$1.33/gallon ≈ $700–$730/year per typical driver. • Average household energy impact (gas + diesel + heating, etc.): Moody’s Analytics estimated ~$1,100 in higher energy costs so far for the typical household. Bottom-line comparison The FAIR net cost of illegal immigration (~$1,156 per taxpayer/year) is in the same ballpark as, or somewhat higher than, the current extra fuel costs most households are paying because of the Iran war. The immigration figure is a large, ongoing structural fiscal burden (education, healthcare, enforcement). The gas spike is a direct consumer price increase driven by the war.

This sums up why America became great, and the only thing that can keep her great. facebook.com/share/v/1CXwjjm…

I think the single most important thing SI developers can do to mitigate an SI doomsday is to have SI be convinced it is better off with human contribution than without.

Even in the 1990’s when I was traveling extensively all over the globe I was still proud to be a Canadian. That’s no longer true. I’m ashamed at how duped the Canadian electorate is by mainstream propaganda.

As a Canadian who actually loves America, and the pre CCP/Globalist corrupted and propagandized Canada I have to say I hope Americans don’t let the price of gas affect their vote. The entire world (including me) are paying higher gas prices because the first president in recent history with the balls to deal with Iran before they got nukes is dealing with them. Cut the guy some slack. A short period of high gasoline prices, no matter how high, far outweighs a bunch of radical, murderous, Islamic extremists having nuclear weapons.

If scientists ever do manage to create life in a lab, will they have demonstrated that intelligent manipulation of matter and energy can create life, or that random processes can? 🤔 Seems clear to me it will demonstrate the former.
