They say that’s the main difference between the US and yogurt. If you leave yogurt alone for a few hundred years it will develop its own culture
America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.

You forgot the genocide of the natives and the erasure of pre-european history.
I watched Startalk today and Niel deGrasse Tyson said 1/3 of the USA’s Nobel Prize winners are immigrants.
Nobody loves Niel as much as he does.
Hah, well, you’re not wrong. I enjoy his podcast/show, they talk about some pretty neat stuff.
That was a quote from Big bang theory. Still not wrong Haha 😉
A show that definitely didn’t age well. And I used to religiously watch it.
Hey some of that was created by oppressed black and LGBT+ folks.
I love this allegoric meme. According to the myth, Atlas, a Titan, was condemned to stand at the western edge of the earth and hold up the sky on his shoulders. Thus, he was Atlas Telamon, “enduring Atlas”. He was probably an immigrant too.
Give me your tired, your poor…
I’m genuinely scared they are gonna force engineers to go out an pick fruit in the field… Engineers like me… Cuz they haven’t replaced a fair number of those jobs with machines yet… What happens when all the jobs are taken by machines and we have our economy which is barter and trade, while the 1% have their economy that’s destroying every bit of the natural world in order to fuel their prepackaged products…
Fuck yeah! Cultural exchange rocks!
Day took ma job!
America’s immigration policy, while beneficial to itself, usually places a huge cost on the places these people come from. Attracting the most intelligent, and driven people from other countries means those left behind must work harder and with fewer resources. Usually these countries have to expend additional resources just to retain what skilled individuals they do have.
While this is happening, we’re going to these places and building factories. Because everything is always on a downward slope, labor is cheap and available. We don’t have to pay them minimum wage because they’re not American. Sometimes nationals do come back to their countries, to run these factories and make it big back home with American money.
