USA, Canada / Polish Tutors in Dallas, TX? [24]

@Rich,

I remind you that proper, grammatically sound, and semantically engaging English is worth knowing,
and not the sort of foul bilge your kind dishes out on a regular basis, like so much sewage, fit only
for the gutter, vulgar, dirty, worthless!

Seems to me you fellas could stand a bit more familiarity with Hollywood black/white classics and far less
with the current crap of movies.

News / Was Charlie Kirk popular in Poland? [568]

@PolAmKrakow,
Indeed I'm saying precisely that, sir! AI is surely not definitive,
however, it can yield some interesting results, can't it.

To be clear, Charlie Kirk's memory is continuing to influence a vastly misguided,
desperate youth, an infantile mentality which refuses to realize that what's "fair" for
only one social group is often grossly unfair to the rest, e.g. privatizing and eventually getting rid of
Social Security!

If all Americans were automatically independently wealthy and financially self-reliant, then gov't. payments
to millions of retirees would certainly be both superfluous as well as downright wasteful, agreed. While not
unconstitutional, it might conceivably be seen as an unnecessary encumbrance foisted upon the legitimately
gainfully employed population.

Yet, so long as the majority of US employers see fit to randomly exclude, i.e. to semi-retire active, not to mention
fiercely contributive members of the older workforce, Social Security remains a needed lifeline for various senior
workers to allow them to live out the rest of the lives in peace, happiness, and professional contentment.

During the Great Depression, roughly from 1933-1941, the disadvantaged frequently did things which their fathers
would have deemed unthinkable, yea criminal. But in order to survive, at that time without Social Security or gov't help,
even good people were forced by circumstances to do bad things. Don't forget, the New Deal didn't kick in until nearly the
end of the War.

To those who say, "We are where we are by choice", remind them that no normal sentient, non-felon being chooses to miserable,
poverty stricken or without. Plenty of folks receive some sort of helping hand, only probably none of them will admit it.

It seems you aren't aware of the certain job figures just released by Bloomberg!
Job growth in I.T., automotive, robotics are indeed through the roof.
Those non-tech areas such as academia, hospital maintenance, law enforcement,
and hospitality, far below previous job quarters.

@PolAmKrakow,

Fact of the matter is that foreign labor in Poland, Germany,
Britain and of course the US, will by and large be drawn from
cheaper wage countries!

For generations, Poland, Germany, Britain and the United States
survived, to be sure, happily prospered without the need for a cheap wage,
non-native speaking workforce, save for certain specialty areas such
as head chefs for the mega wealthy at posh English estates, naturally
in the fashion industry, for example. In the latter instances, who wouldn't
have jumped at the chance to hire a French cook, an Italian courtier etc..
generally at a most generous rate of pay? Isolated status symbols were not
the order of the day. The rank-and-file citizen were luck if they could afford the
bare necessities or comforts of daily life, much less a high-priced foreign-born
expert.

However here at home under Trump, the labor market for all but the most specialized IT jobs
has squeezed out non-tech workers, except of course for those who've somehow managed
to make a sweet deal with either the local politician(s), the Church/synagogue or some close
family member:-)

Connections have ALWAYS been a part of American life, it's simply that since Reagan, up through Bush
and now during the Trump presidency, they've become not only essential, but absolutely critical. For that
reason, the uncounted number of homeless and displaced, dislocated souls out there on a scale I couldn't have
imagined growing up as I did during the last gasp of the Roosevelt Era.

Poland's economy was in the toilet for years....LONG WITHOUT ILLEGALS!!
The US economy since Reagan has been dependent on a cheap labor, in essence disposable/throw away, foreign-born,
non-native English speaking workforce, mostly at the expense of an educated, skilled, American-born, native-English speaking
workforce, for no other reason than to save millionaires, now billionaires, money.

Who ends up paying the highest taxes, Bezos, Buffet, Donald Trump, or the average, hard-working American wage earner?

Israel is the most Westernized of the Middle Eastern countries, as
her pioneer settlers in the 19th and 20th centuries were exclusively
European Jews, bringing both their languages and practices to the
New Land.

Much as I hate to agree with you, Ironside, Poland certainly is part of Western Civilzation!
First of all, Poland is staunchly Roman Catholic, her language uses the Latin rather than the
Cyrillic alphabet and her cultural contributions show her solidly entrenched within the Occidental
tradition.

Oh,I concur wholeheartedly, Maf!
Try telling that though to the fella running for that morning cup of Java
for $1.50 or so on the corner, only to find he or she's paying twice as much.

Ain't gonna sit well with the electorate, especially as our President uses illegals
to help keep his grounds at Mara Lago:-)

Ban illegal migrants and watch the prices soar like mad 'cuz labor costs will skyrocket.
The entire US has come practically to depend on illegals!
While I don't like it either, remembering when I grew up during the late sixties just before the
cusp of change, nowadays, the dude at the corner with the cart serving coffee's gonna leave
the average American high and dry once ICE boots him and his family back to Latin America.

Imagine the new coffee guy, either a young W.A.S.P. student, Northern European foreigner,
US-born Jewish and that cup o' Joe's rising to nearly $5 a shot.
Who'll pay that when they can get the same for pennies on the dollar?

You're of course referring to the infamous "brain drain" from Europe,
principally during the fifties and continuing until the late '60's.

While the UK was clearly a target for this emigation, the US wasn't far
behind, most clearly seen in the NASA Space Program, notably von Braun,
Debus, Strughold, and Rudolph.

Interesting too that Greeks, in particular Italians and Spaniards, during the start of the '60's became the
most numerous foreign labor, "Katzelmacher" or guest workers in Germany under Adenauer. Today, Greece, Italy, and Spain are overrun with migrants.
The tables have indeed turned.

Yo, Joker, Cuomo's the only candidate with a serious resume on the table!
Pity though he's impaired because of his distant mob ties and thuggish manner,
such as when he worked for H.U.D.

Being upper middle class myself, I certainly don't resent wealthy people.
I DO resent those who a la Trump rob the economically dependent blind
with impunity.

Unlike our president, I wasn't born with connections coming out of the wazoo or
a silver foot in his mouth:-)

Sarcasm aside, Mr. Jokster, one cannot deny the strong similarities,
witness Trump, like Newt, Bannon, even Reagan, giving the royal finger
to the American, indeed the world, public.....once again!!

@Rich,
It's common in speech to say things such as, "Being a joker, aren't we!"
when referring to another person's remark of which we disapprove.

First of all, success is always relative, you people.
Many Bklyn. slumlords are deemed "successful" by their
fellow Satmar followers, yet on the grand scale, they're hardly
successful as they constantly live in fear of being either attacked
or killed!

Off-Topic / Donald J. Trump and William Randolph Hearst [11]

While some in our US media have at times undecorously compared the 47th President to
Hitler, just perhaps a far more fitting, not to mention instructive, historical analogy would be
Hearst!

The reasons might become obvious. Both became Republicans in their adulthood, both were the
spoiled scions of relatively wealthy fathers and doting mothers who indulged their every whim, both
did everything with the proverbial "grand gesture" and felt that money itself was the key, not only to
success, but in fact to true happiness in life, both withstood nill opposition in their pursuit of wealth
along with the power that comes with it, and both had it seems a gargantuan appetite for the opposite
sex; Trump with Marla Maples, Hearst with Marion Davies, among others.

All this only became clearer to me after having watched for the umpteenth glorious time Orson Welles'
singular masterpiece "Citizen Kane" (1941).
