"The current European position is roughly that we are dependent on America don't want the Americans to exploit that dependence but also don't want to pay the price necessary to end it. As things stand I'm not convinced the economic leverage we think we have is sufficient. Right now a real risk of a spiral: Europeans who are already using unprecedented language (blackmail intimidation threat) refuse to back down or push back with retaliatory tariffs US then expands coercion from tariffs to security. Could start by suspending weapon sales for Right now a real risk of a spiral: Europeans who are"

""We're keeping communities together" 48% of London's social housing residents were born overseas. This is a subsidy for waves of migration that didn't pay their way communities that exist thanks to handouts. 22% of the total stock is taken up by the inactive/unemployed born overseas. Sure. London's social housing is mostly a handout to the workless that drives the actual cleaners and teachers people say it's for further out and raises their rents by cutting swathes of supply out of the market https://t.co/2iebgvApPU Sure.

"I've always thought it was quite telling that Caplan has argued that he wouldn't feel safe until everyone was in a minority of some sort. It's an unusual point of view probably not shared by many. Also not one necessarily backed by the state of the world around him. Caplan now agrees that immigrants create a culture transplant. That's welcome progress. Since Caplan agrees with me on the is-- a prudent move since the vast empirical literature is too hard to ignore-- he's now switched to an ought.
