Kudos to dad! I am quite interested how one becomes a poker player

My dad cam from a post soviet country and never took benefits 🤨

You're doing an excellent job as a stay at home mom for your doggy. Keep up the great work!

🙌

No doubt there are more stories like that. But how many more are there where they are still collecting and not producing at all? We will never know.

Get the poker player relative on nostr !

America was built on immigrants, enough said.

I’m with you

My guess is that your dad was grateful for the opportunity & chance at a better life. The sense of entitlement among the youth (regardless of race) is quite different now. My parents immigrated to Australia when I was a baby, worked hard & never took a govt handout. They relied on my mother's parents to get their adult life started but only as much as they had to. What's a bit disturbing to me is the way in which African youth view white Australians. They look down on us as soft & weak while they take advantage of our socialistic policies. I don't blame them or have any animosity towards them but it's a little concerning to see our demographics change so much over the last few decades. I don't know where this ends up but I certainly don't want to be living in our cities any more.

An italian, frenchman or englishman would be way better. Better yet none since there's already an insane housing shortage in Canada. Canada for the Canadians.

Hearhear💥 Today’s world works differently than a mere binary idea… Tons of examples like these. Thanks for sharing your family’s journey! View quoted note →

Are people demonizing immigrants? That’s new. I’ve seen a lot of demonization of illegal aliens and politicians dramatically incentivizing them to come. Only very low information, low IQ people confuse the two. Legal immigrants in my experience and from inherent selection bias are usually the most ambitious and hard working folk that make America great. Just like your dad.

I'm so sick of seeing people LARP as freedom minded individuals acting like immigrants are the problem and not the state. Idk about Canada but in erica watching people cheer on masked thugs kidnapping people off the street, scanning their face, and checking their papers based solely on the color of the skin is surreal. Then the same people turn around and talk about limiting government. The majority of deportees here have no criminal record whatsoever, and even if they do have one it's usually victimless crimes. If you come here and aren't hurting anyone, you. should be left the fuck alone. There is plenty of room, and immigration generates new jobs and grows the economy. Those demonizing immigrants are a bunch of fucking sheep who believe every thing they read on X about immigrants and are willing to let the state destroy our rights to "protect" them from the scary brown people. Ending welfare, I can get down with that. Deport violent people and thieves, that's fine too. But this letting ICE run around like drunken cowboys snatching everyone up, that's insane. A brand new dystopian surveillance state 10x worse than what we had before in America is being implemented using illegal immigration as the fake "emergency" to justify it. And if someone is so scared of immigrants they are willing to trade their liberty for some fake safety, they need to grow some balls.

This is an inspiring family story! Kudos to your dad ⚡️💜

Why couldn't daddy do all of that in trinidaddy you fucking black person

A lot of the immigrants that are coming now, are coming to exploit. Because that's exactly what the government is offering them. If your coming to plant trees that you won't enjoy fruit from, as well as enjoy the fruit from the ones that were planted decades before you arrived. Fine, otherwise go back to your own country and try and make it better. Too many people will break economies and countries, if you think this is an accident you're a fool. When students can't get any starter jobs because immigrants have taken them all, that is a problem.

True value lies not in taxes, but in the kindness and positivity one spreads. A good man’s legacy is measured by his impact, not his bills.

Thanks for talking some sense and baiting some of the bad apples on Nostr to out themselves, @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻. Nostr content is getting so tiresome... Fun fact: while you were taking a break, I got some heated DMs basically calling me a hypocrite for collaborating with you and Bitvora while calling this shit out on Nostr. Apparently, they took you for one of the racist / North American MAGA / authoritarian-dressed-as-libertarian sheep on Nostr. And Bitvora for one of the crappy, spammy Lightning service providers on Nostr (after I blocked a couple from spamming the relays I’m running and returned a few of their bribery attempts). For the folks who need a reason for me to volunteer my time (why would anyone need a reason to maintain good software?), that’s why. Don’t take a good man, a builder, a second-generation Canadian, for one of the low-IQ, xenophobic racists loitering here. Signed: a Brazilian-born, UK citizen who has contributed more to this country in the past ten years than all of the Tommy Robinson followers on Nostr combined. I never claimed any benefits, not even during unemployment (and yes, things got pretty rough for a while). I built two businesses from the ground up, volunteered quite a bit, and was subjected to the 60% UK tax trap for several years while paying extra fees like the NHS surcharge. Tax-wise, I am sustaining an average of at least half a dozen of Tommy Robinson’s “patriots” on the dole while they are busy coming to London to riot and paint roundabouts red. The only thing I have to say to the "patriots" out there is... Piss off! Stop complaining about the immigrants putting food on your table and get good. Real patriots should, you know, do something for their country other than seeding hate and trying to start riots. You folks voted for Brexit. You folks did nothing while the corrupt politicians you voted for sold out. You folks let private equity take control of the country, including real estate. You are the ones about to elect Farage and swallow Musk’s fascist rhetoric of “violence is coming for you” while letting the US and Big Tech aristocracies weaken Europe and ruin our way of life. I have nothing to do with the UK’s decline. You do. Stop blaming immigrants for the consequences of your choices. Also, be careful what you wish for. Unlike you, I have real mobility (hint: moving abroad is nowhere near as easy as you think), so please take some responsibility and stop destroying the country that I love and that you are trapped in. Take some responsibility before it is too late. PS: As a very white person (yes, there are lots of people of European descent in Brazil, mostly children and grandchildren of European immigrants fleeing their countries during difficult times, so do remember that tables turn), I can say that “Arabs”, “Asian”, and “Brown” people are doing very well, thank you. In fact, most British “patriots” I know would move to places like Dubai and Qatar without a second glance if they had the opportunity to.
