And yet a number of racial groups in the U.S. have a higher standard of living in the U.S. than whites do. And Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan all have high standards of living. You're trying to say whites are genetically superior but it's really more about culture. Even within countries there's a diversity of outcomes. I'd put the city of Queretaro, Mexico up against most cities in Mexico and most American cities for quality of life. The Silicon Valley of Mexico.

Superior isn’t the word. Different is the right one. Asians are the only others who maintain functional civilization. You’re right about that.

Reagan didn't ignore law. And he was in his rights as president to fire the air traffic controllers.
yea he did. he was a special type of disgusting corporate controlled vermin. he might have been the 1st US president to mark the complete corporate domination of the country.

I just did, you're wrong.
Why double down on this nonsense lol?
Where are you seeing that I'm wrong? It was widely discussed recently that average home prices in California had reached a million dollars. You're talking like I conjured that number up. Real estate prices have exploded in the last year or so. Doesn't mean all homes cost a million.

Even in Latin America there's plenty of prosperity.

Yes, that’s true. But which countries are these? The ones that received the greatest amount of European immigration outside of the United States. (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil.)

Southern Brazil is beautiful. All Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian down there.

Actually far southern Brazil is known for the large German population along with the others you cited. Argentina is just over half Italian and they brought their economics with them. It's now in financial ruin. Uruguay and Chile are run pretty well. But I digress. In every Latin America country you have pockets of prosperity. It's not that the population doesn't want to do better. They have a history of strongmen hogging the wealth for themselves. Mexico is doing much better these days due to their population size and proximity to the U.S. A lot of development there. But still plenty of poverty. We shouldn't be shocked at a 40% poverty rate in a poor country when we ourselves are close to 20%.

Yeah my family are German immigrants to Mexico and eventually up into America. Chiapas is pretty nice. I love Mexico, even with it’s troubles.

It's "widely discussed", so provide a link.
As I said already, Google California home prices million and you'll turn up plenty. I'm not good using this tablet to link stuff here. You're suggesting I'm making stuff up but I don't do that. And yes, I saw it discussed on several of FOX's shows too. And yes real estate prices since last year have zoomed way up, especially in some areas. But hey, prove me wrong by showing us all the homes available on Zillow or RealEstate.com that are way below a million in decent areas with low crime and good work opportunities. I'm sure some would appreciate the heads up.

You said average or median California home price is at a million dollars. Just say you were mistaken and move on lol.

You're not going to find many houses less than $700k in safe neighborhoods in California.
That's actually not true. People seem to only think of California as LA and the Bay Area. Just speaking for NorCal, once you get up to the Sacramento area you can find plenty of big, nice homes under $700K in good neighborhoods.

That’s just not one side though. It goes both ways. I personally think the two party system is stupid.
I'm surprised at how many people still view politics through a partisan lens, or even "right vs left". Its the ruling class against the working class, and the political establishment (yes, even Trump) are not on our side.

I repeated what was widely reported about two weeks ago. Why should I say I was mistaken for repeating what was being said?
No you didn't.
Which is why you can't provide a single link.
Just say you misremembered, that it was actually a story about one county in California, and move on.
