  2. Justine Castro is a moron on Attacks on the Media Are a Threat To Democracy, Justin Trudeau Says (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: -1, Troll

    But he's easy on the eyes, right ladies?

  3. "Tackling homelessness and taking homeless people off the street improves location desirability"

    California has been run by left leaning governments for 50 years and have made this worse. They don't know how to solve it though they could probably just read Sowell's Basic Economics to get the answer.

  4. No, you definitely are a libtard.

  5. Sorry to bitch slap you with reality but...

    "According to a report by business relocation expert Joseph Vranich, from 2008 through 2015, at least 1,687 California companies pulled up stakes and moved elsewhere. And those are only the reported ones, Vranich says."

  6. More corporate flight from California. Good.

    Leftie: "Everyone should go to University! It's a Human Right!"
    Normie: "Er, everyone can go to university. What's the problem?"
    Leftie: "NOOO! Poor Brown people can't because Poor, Brown, Misogyny, Racism, Patriarchy, NAZIS!"
    Normie: "Huh? We have bursary and scholarship programs. Kids with good grades can fill out a form and get their education paid for. So what's the problem?"
    Leftie: "REEEEEEEEEEEE! Everyone should go to University! It's a Human Right! REEEEEEEEEEEE!"
    Normie: (sigh) "Ok, assuming you're right, how do you propose to pay for all that. University education is expensive."
    Leftie: "Well tax the rich of course! Tax the evillll corporations!"
    Normie: "Fuck Off"

    Leftie thinks about this for a while rubbing 2 brain cells together then comes back.

    Leftie: "I've got it! Why not a student loan program! We can setup yet another government bureaucracy to manage it! Big Government YAY!"
    Rightie: "Hmmm, my banker friends would like that. They can profiteer from that. I think we need to ask University Administrators what they think of this."
    Universities: "So what you're saying is we can take everyone in and we'll just get paid no matter what? HOLY SHIT THAT'S FANTASTIC!!!!"

    Results:

    Now Universities are all about asses-on-seats and not about higher learning.
    It gets worse. Universities pressure professors and threaten their tenure if they fail too many students. Sorry Quantum Field Theory is hard...
    It gets worse. Universities emphasize retardo courses like gender studies, intersectionality, postmodernism, Harry Potter, Star Wars, etc..
    It gets worse. Kids get saddled with 50000 of debt and useless degrees living at home with mommy and daddy into their 30's.
    It gets worse. Now we have a situation where universities can charge whatever they want for tuition fees. 200+% over CPI.
    It gets worse. Because courses get dumbed down Industry has trouble finding good candidates and therefore look outside. > 50% PHDs are H1B visas.

    Solution: Kill the student loan programs. Whoops not so easy when the Banks, Government and University Administrations all support it.

    How it works:

    When you want to come to the west the Chinese Government will remind you that you still have family in China. If your working somewhere where they might want some information they simply will ask you to get it.

    Simple.
