By undocumented, you mean illegal.
I don't give the faintest shit about their rights. Not an iota.
If they would have wanted to participate as members of the society, they would have come here legally.
That said, one of my biggest disappointments of the current administration is that yes, while they are trying to cull the (up to) 3 million a year let in by Mr Biden's open-Democrat-voter, er, -border policy, there's been afaik no effort from the administration (nor its critics) to fix/improve/simplify LEGAL immigration which is 100% good.
.... To reinforce your echo chamber, my dear.
Why is location a factor in pay at all? Is an employee in SF inherently more valuable than an employee in Redmond?
Their real estate is.
You have to work in a huge bureaucracy driven by nonsense metrics and algorithms like stack ranking.
You just described pretty much every large corporation. Microsoft certainly isn't unique in this.
Horseshit. "Traditional media curators" brainwashing people like you for decades is how Trump won the general elections. Maybe if you said the first primary. But you had to get in your jab at "liberal" media Fox News, the largest news network and epitome of mainstream media, has programmed you to.
Nope. Trump won because of people like you. People like you insisting that others had to be "brainwashed" by Fox or some other source for voting and choosing the way they do. As long as you guys act like assholes and scream that those other people are "brainwashed", you're only going to drive more people to them. Nobody under 30 watches Fox, and yet Gen Z is shifting to the Right. Now, you can find another shadowy conspiracy to account for this, or you can accept that maybe, just maybe, people vote the way they do because they want to, because they have their own sense of right and wrong and they follow it.
This is why I hate the whole "best interests" argument. "I just don't understand why these people vote against their interests". Well, that's because people that say this don't really give a shit about their interests. People decide what their own "best interests" are, thank you, and then vote for them. No one else gets a say on that process. What they really mean is "Fuck those people for not voting in MY preferences".
"The vast majority of these titles have obvious sexual themes and many have the word "incest" in the title."
Yes, for once he's right: it IS because Republicans are against children freely able to buy such titles.
Democrats, on the other hand, have been advocating the sexualization of the young (if they haven't trans'd them) so I understand rsilvergun's bitch here.
He's obviously sad that he has nowhere to peddle his MAP fetish.

Oh holy shit. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?
"From the people that brought you DrKoop.com, comes a new service for your dog..."
You just proved his point.
...just saying.
Was that the Trump that kicked him out of his properties permanently and never associated with him again?
Let's note that a certain former president was a REGULAR RIDER of the Lolita Express (and not just from FL to NY like Trump), and that last I checked, nobody in Democratic admins was even interested in Epstein files release.
Hey, I fully agree the files need to come out. I don't give a shit if Trump is on them; if he's implicated he should be tossed into a wood-chipper like the rest.
Unlike Democrats, I disapprove of "Minor Attracted Persons".
By all means let unregulated billionaires execute projects with globe-impacting potential? Is that what you're going with?
I'd love to hear about these "systemic" injustices.
Are they in the room with us now?
... On the eponymous "George Lucas effect" .
That is, when you become so successful that nobody cares tell you no, so your creative output suffers due to the lack of common sense input around you. "No George, a Steppin-fetchit analogue does not belong in your film"
"Do YOU know how to do math without a calculator?
Do YOU know how to use a map?"
A) I think the idiomatic use of "you" indeterminate 2nd person plural as a proxy for "people in general in your opinion" is clear
B) to your more specific examples, no, people are indeed generally losing the ability to do simple math in their heads. Next time something costs 19.50 and you have a 20something cashier, hand them a $20 and 50 cents.... Watch their eyes spin.
And in the pride+shame dept, my 4.0 college graduate daughter, 32 act, economics degree called us specifically to recount how she and her friend were a long way from their hotel in Venice, phones dead, and late at night she'd managed to navigate their way back BY PAPER MAP. She was genuinely happy and her whole friend group all admit they probably couldn't have done it, now essentially treats her as their Sherpa.
