Also, many cities including San Francisco have large areas that are mostly single family homes (see the picture below for an example). Large portions of American cities are not dense:

Luckily, America is still switching our energy grid over to inexpensive renewables despite Trump's desperate attempts to prop up fossil fuels, so there's that:

A chart from Canary Media showing that over 93% of new energy capacity for 2026 is planned to be renewables despite Trump's desperate attempts to prop up fossil fuels, with 51% planned to be solar, 28% planned to be battery storage, 14% planned to be wind, and only 7% planned to be fossil gas.

American support for immigration is literally steadily increasing, as shown by graph below I've linked to sources showing how lots of immigration boosts economy, lowers crime rate, improves kids' grades, etc. Yet all you can respond with is that somehow it's bad despite evidence showing otherwise

Graph from Gallup showing that American support for immigration has steadily increased since 2001, with it now being at 79%

Researchers found that lots of immigration is good for America. There's literally popular books based on all the evidence from economists that lots of immigration is good (see book cover below). I've provided you evidence that lots of immigration is good, please acknowledge these facts.

Ironically, because so many of the above things are designed as tax credits instead of direct benefits, a lot of people falsely think that they have never been on welfare:

A chart based upon data from Cornell Survey Research Institute showing that tax credits that give a lot of money to the middle class are often not considered by people to be welfare, despite them being a big financial benefit to those families. Although, even about 25% of people on food stamps do not consider it welfare!

There's plenty of other evidence of the Israeli govt's genocide in Gaza and other awful actions. We don't have to spread false allegations as well. Also, the article literally debunks its own headline:

"This week in occupied Jerusalem, more than 1,000 people gathered together, in an attempt to break a new world record - the largest gathering of live kidney donors. The event marked 2,000 kidney donations in Israel, and was organised by the kidney donation charity Matnat Chaim."

Nuclear is about as safe as solar and wind are and all three are much safer then fossil fuels:

Meanwhile, lack of supply allows existing homeowners and landlords to gain lot of profit. Allowing construction of much more housing would significantly cut profits and rents. We can also pass land value tax which would prevent landlords from getting too much wealth & encourage building more housing

A depiction of the Silicon Valley economy by Alfred Twu. Venture capital is willing to provide a ton of money to tech companies, but all that money that flows from them through their spending and employees is sucked up by incumbent property owners, who lobby to stop more housing construction via concern trolling about things like traffic and "neighborhood character" so they can extract even more profit. They also use California's Prop 13 if they're a long time resident to pay very little in property taxes

Long term polling trends are indicative of election day results and Trump has been strongly underwater inc on immigration for long time: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/one-year-o... Democrats also won special elections, NJ, and VA by pretty big margins also showing that being pro-immigration isnt hurting

Denmark is a developed country like the US so presumably LLM effects on jobs in the US should show up in Denmark as well The study I linked to uses job data while the one you linked to relies on what executives say and they are known for overestimating impacts of LLMs www.wsj.com/lifestyle/wo...

This isn't true. Economists have found over and over again with both empirical studies and modeling that immigrants increase wages for native born workers and deportations hurt employment and wages for native born workers:

Advocates of mass deportation often acknowledge these disruptions but argue that native workers will benefit through higher wages. In the short run, some low‑skill native workers may indeed experience modest wage increases, typically on the order of 1–3%. However, these gains are both small and temporary. Firms respond to labor shortages not by bidding wages up indefinitely, but by reducing hours, cutting output, automating, or closing altogether. As production contracts, labor demand falls, erasing the initial wage bump.

Meanwhile, higher‑skill workers—who make up roughly two‑thirds of the U.S. labor force—face clear losses. Because low‑skill and high‑skill labor are complements in production, removing workers at the bottom of the skill distribution reduces the productivity of those above them. The Penn Wharton Budget Model estimates long‑run wage declines of 0.5–2.8% for higher‑skill workers following mass deportation. These losses are diffuse and less visible. This makes them politically easier to ignore.

Fiscal effects compound the damage. The Baker Institute estimates that the upfront cost of mass deportation would exceed $315 billion, with ongoing annual enforcement costs approaching $88 billion. Implementing such a policy would require a dramatic expansion of federal enforcement capacity, potentially adding hundreds of thousands of new agents. These expenditures would be financed by taxpayers while producing no corresponding increase in productive capacity.

Plus, almost all visa overstayers and unauthorized horized immigrants only do it that way because it's very hard and complex to legally immigrate and get legally permanent status, as shown by the chart from Cato below. We need to create large new channels of immigration.

This isn't true- housing production in the modern day is significantly below historical levels.

This is covered in article I linked to- working class mortgages means that developers will start building a large amount of lower price homes with the money & demand from those mortgages. That will produce giant amounts of new supply. Theres a reason why we used to build much more 1 fam housing:

Graph showing that we used to build a lot more single family housing before 2007 and the withdrawal of working class access to mortgages. It also shows that we used to build a lot more multifamily homes.

Political scientists have tried comparing Democratic policy positions to European parties and Dems come out solidly center left in Europe, with Bernie being solidly left wing. It's the GOP that's the outlier here with their hard right and far right policy.

A graph from a Cambridge study showing that Democrats would be center left in Europe if you compare policy positions and that Sanders would be solidly left wing and not center left in Europe. Meanwhile, the Republican Party is hard right and far right.

Shouldn't it be that Sinema and Gabbard are fucking each other? "The report goes on to document the close relationship that Gabbard and Sinema forged while the two began serving in the House of Representatives in 2013."
