All three or do you need another one? And I'd like to notify everyone on this forum that I, myself, am an immigrant - a citizen of the USA now living in Thailand. I assume that is the case for many others on these forums as well.

You're missing the irony. Now go back to the wonderful life capitalism has provided you. No, I understood what you were implying. The e-book and paperback editions of all my books are sold at the minimum price available on Amazon, and two of my books are available in e-book editions for free via my Facebook page.

Published under what "author's name"? I've been warned not to mention details about my books, but I'll answer your question. The author's name on all of my books is W. D. Smart.

All three or do you need another one? I'm not sure what your question is. Of the three immigrants I took in, two of them are now married and have had children.

All of my books are available on Amazon, but I've not written any in which socialism was the main topic.

The three immigrants I took in are allowed to procreate, and have.

Hows that working out in Europe? I don't know that much about European immigration, but I assume the immigrants are having a better life.

Although Russia, under Stalin, did not have a true communist, or even socialist, economy, I won't argue here about that. The biggest problem with Russia under Stalin was not its economy but its governmental system.

Three.

...that last phrase should be "transwomen in girls' sports."

Yes, I am...

I can support my position by pointing out that my concern extends beyond the USA to the entire world. I've always said the main difference between right-wingers and left-wingers (like me) is the first single letter of a two-letter word. Right-wingers are only concerned about "me," while left-wingers are concerned about "we."

Welcoming immigrants has nothing to do with using less energy. The immigrants would be using energy whether they were in the USA or not. The primary reason for welcoming immigrants is to provide them with a better life.

In my recent book on this subject, I define the three primary causes of our ongoing degradation of the Earth's environment. Technology - technology is the physical manifestation of the human intellect, and all technology pollutes. Energy technologies, in particular, produce more pollution than usable energy, even in cases like solar, wind, or tides. Hubris - The belief that we (humans) are the most important thing in the universe, and it is our right to kill or destroy all other resources, living or non-living, to make us feel more comfortable. Overpopulation - I suggest in my book that we should reduce our population by 90% to live on this planet without destroying it. But, in the end, I conclude we will not try to change any of the above, and that even if we did, we are already "over the cliff" on the destruction of the Earth's biosphere, so the Earth's, and all other life on it, only hope for survival is human extinction.

I agree with that, although I take exception with the term "renewable." The energy harvested by energy harvesting technologies is not renewed. The only solution to ameliorating our destruction of the Earth's environment is to start using LESS energy, not harvesting more.

Once you've been tried and convicted of something, you are then guilty of whatever the charges were. You can appeal, and if your appeal overturns your conviction, then you're innocent of the charges. Right now, Trump is guilty of all his convictions.

Yes, certainly, all MAGA supporters have been conned or are morally bankrupt. This includes: energy independence (which causes more devastation of the Earth's environment); lower taxes (primarily for the rich, and will reduce the funds for needed social programs and increase our national debt); secure borders (which will prohibit people fleeing oppression and economic hardship in their home country); Middle East peace deals (like the cessation of the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians?) These aren't "tangible results"; they are ill-thought-out, Make America Great Again (without any regard for the rest of the world), and will destroy not only the USA but also many other countries. I'm in shock that so many of my fellow citizens, and you may be one of those, actually still support Trump.

I agree, but the most disappointing thing about that is that there are so many of his core fanatics. 😣

I do address and condemn Trump's policies, but for me, the most disgusting thing about Trump's election is not Trump himself, but the fact that so many of my fellow citizens voted for him and still support him. I suspect about half of them have been duped by him, but I assume the other half actually share his values. I have resentment and moral outrage concerning Trump, but I have a growing alarm and disgust regarding his supporters.

Relocate back to your home country.

I hope, as the article says, this is just a "temporary" hakt, 😣

This should be the most apparent revelation of what Trump and MAGA stand for. Anyone, especially those who are my fellow countrymen (USA), who continues to support them is an anathema to me. 😡

First of all, I know of no country that has had an actual socialist economy. Secondly, all the actions of a country cannot be exclusively blamed on its economy. If that were the case, you could also claim that many capitalist countries have conducted mass murder and genocide. Actions like mass murder and genocide are products of its governmental system, not its economic system.

MAGA is a slogan and the adopted name of Trump and his supporters. I suppose you could assign a "kill rate" to the actions of Trump. Socialism is an economic system that utilizes the state's assets to provide for the needs of ALL citizens. I'm not sure how you could assign a "kill rate" to it. You could, however, assign a "save rate" to it, I guess.
