My conclusion isn't what you just said.
My conclusion is that going by intersectionality every human is a unique combination of attributes that make us infinitely diverse, so any attempt to stack them together ends up failing.

If I'm being totally honest, Ben Shapiro is totally correct about "if you can't afford to live in New York City, live somewhere else".
One of the reasons these cities are so unaffordable is a century of attempts to make them affordable. They've driven down interest rates, they've given mortgages to anyone with a pulse, they made 30 year fixed mortgages the best option in the US (such mortgages don't exist in other countries and are subsidized), and they're on track to make 50 year mortgages an option. They've taken money from everyone else through taxes and inflation and injected it into the housing market. They've added grants and bursaries and tax rebates. In the US, the interest on your mortgage is tax deductible -- so mortgages are directly subsidized by the taxpayer. The result? House markets that aren't possible to live in.
Moreover, the culture that says "Everyone should be able to live on Manhattan Island" is broken. Sorry, not everyone can live in Hollywood, not everyone can live in Manhattan. That's life.
And here's the thing: People make arguments as to why it's important to keep communities intact. "Oh, I don't want to move away from my family" -- and they're not wrong, but it doesn't matter. You can't live here anymore, because you promised that spot to a dozen other people from around the world and a hundred people from around the country. The argument that everyone ought to move to these places, and that it's a moral good that they do, and that there's no opportunity anywhere but these few international cities, it's all contributing to the problem. Instead, people who want to keep living in their homes should be trying to make the argument that there are plenty of opportunties outside of their cities and people should go to those places instead.
In my own country of Canada, we have the same stupid ideology with respect to Toronto and Vancouver. And those two markets are retardedly expensive. "Oh, there's jobs there!" it doesn't matter! The houses in Toronto are a million, and in Vancouver they're two million!
With all this, the actual answer is multi-faceted, but simple.
1. Cut mortgage amortization to 15 years.
2. Stop insuring mortgages and force banks to take on the risks of lending
3. Don't allow mortgages to be packaged up in securities at all
4. Allow interest rates to rise if that's where they want to go
5. Don't allow people to claim mortgage interest on their taxes
6. Eliminate illegal immigration, reduce legal migration
7. Start amping up all the cities that aren't the top real estate markets in the world -- Maybe living in North Dakota isn't so bad?
8. Eliminate programs intended to help the working class pay for places they can't afford in areas like NYC or LA, let the rich sleep in the bed they made (with no local services unless they pay huge wages). Watch these areas become less attractive all of a sudden.
Do these things, and suddenly people can afford to live in the city of their grandparents. Otherwise sorry you have to leave because there's more people coming who want it more than you.

Aren't you utilizing implicit assumptions to conclude that strange names, strange looks, or strange ways of talking are related to ethnicity?
You and I don't speak English the same, even if we made an argument we came from wasp stock.
Moreover, again assuming wasp stock, there are lots of strange names. One of the characters in Future Sepsis is named Niamh (pronounced neev), which seems like a strange name, but it's Welsh, and even an English person might choose to name their child that despite not being directly Welsh.
Even the way someone looks, a lot of things can affect that I. The genetic side, the environmental side, or the cultural side without ethnicity entering the picture.
Then there are categories that the contemporary left believes are ethnic that actually aren't. Mexico, for example, is not an ethnicity. It is a state with a number of different ethnicities do the historical happenstance.
The left in fact often claims the same ethnicity is good and evil in their heuristic: an evil conquistador Spaniard European is now (without any real changes to genetics) a poor subjugated Mexican. The contradiction makes sense if it's not about ethnicity at all, but moral and power based.
Intersectionality at first glance looks like it makes certain groups more or less oppressed, but if you take it seriously, taken to its conclusions it actually means every human is unique and to make decisions solely on one or a couple attributes is to flatten them into something they are not.

Europeans sniff their own farts about how superior they are then implement authoritarianism. France never changes.
We canuckistanis understand we're living in a failed state at least.

Whenever someone asks "which anime is this?" I want to go "It's one piece, from an episode in the middle, you probably haven't seen it". Because I doubt anyone's actually seen all the episodes of one piece, so nobody will know I'm lying.
If I dropped billions on a new AI, to better believe that niggas gonna be like "sj is the best at everything"
Felt like that tbh.
Seemed about a jungian integrating of the shadow which could be about a bunch of things.
I got it back when it came out and didn't hate it, but I finished it on game journalist mode because I don't have 7000 hours to git gud at Celeste.

I think it was a freakonomics episode, the brightness of colors on cars represents the overall sentiment in the society. The last time brightly colored cars were super common was 2007, just before the GFC. I remember lots of nice blues, yellows, greens, reds back then.
My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's was sort of a fun comic, but nothing to write home about, but holy shit the animation budget on this thing. It looks like it belongs on a movie screen in the 1990s.
Ruling class sure is getting uppity lately. If they're not careful they're gonna start seeing the 1800s happening again.
Whether you're in the US, Canada, Europe, or anywhere with a functioning government at the moment, I cannot stress this enough:
Do not use bitcoin or other cryptos to avoid paying taxes.
You might have very nice computers, but the government has guns and angry smelly men who like making examples of people who try to avoid paying taxes, and they're like vampires in that you very much do not want to invite them into your homes.

Seems really simple to me: eliminate both. No corporate bailouts, no snap. Eliminate the federal income tax.

No idea why so many are looking forward to eliminating western localizers.

Yeah, but you were gonna be stuck either way. A few months straight overtime would at least soften the blow.
