They can be both because the jobs they work pay too little to live on, so they need welfare to survive.
Of course that’s true for most jobs that non-immigrants work too, but a few cents more and you’re suddenly not eligible for grocery money.
Yeah but this only happened because they ate Schrodingers cat
Ah of course. Americans tie so much success and personal welfare to employment, that’s the problem! An UBI would help everyone succeed then we wouldn’t be too worried about immigrants /s.
Decades worth of Thanksgiving dinner conversations, summarized.
You simply underestimate the duplicitous nature of the [country name] immigrant /s
You forgot the misogyny. The women take the welfare and the men take the jobs and all the families are broken /s
Best thing is, you open the Box and he’s doing neither.
Lazy bastards
Consider this: half the migrants are collecting welfare, and half of them are taking jobs.
Yet somehow still so poor they have to turn to stealing and eating cats.
It’s like a superposition of a superposition.
This is just a misunderstanding of superposition.
A superposition is being in all possible states before “collapsing” into a defined state, after interacting with something (a measuring device).
So Schrodinger’s immigrant will be in all possible states; they are obviously lazy welfare bums; whilst simultaneously taking all the jobs; and being so poor that they eat your pets; and having the time to organize groups to go raping; whilst also being trustworthy enough to be a housekeeper or nanny
It was an attempt at a joke, but thanks for the explainer.
No worries, I don’t expect many people have an understanding of what superposition actually means.
The Lemmy crowd probably skews towards those that are likely to understand it, but you never know.
Exactly, this meme is misunderstanding what the fear machine is putting out there. To the pathetic population immigrants are taking all the jobs and getting welfare.
This is a tangent of that but I thought superposition was the state. The state of being some amount of many states at once. It isn’t positive and negative at the same time but some amount of positive and some amount of negative for some period of time. It’s still one state that is just somewhere between a number of states.
You are applying too much classical thinking.
Something in superposition isn’t in some unknowable but definite position before measurement.
It is all possible states, at the same time.
Einstein famously did not like the implications of QM, saying “god does not play dice with the universe”, though his work on the photo electric effect helped pave the way for QM.
The same people who said sleepy Joe is too senile and incompetent to be president yet also masterminded both Covid-19 and committed the biggest election fraud in the history of this nation…
For fascists the enemy is always simultaneously strong and weak
Also is the scapegoat for all crimes
Our enemy is both weak and strong.
The “weak and strong” thing nazis do with Jewish people has always been one of the most ridiculous square circles imo.
They’re, apparently, weak, bad, lower, undesirable etc. As such, they should be killed to allow the master race to take charge of everything.
However, apparently, Jewish people are also in charge of all the banks, all the governments and every institution, other than nazi approved ones, as well as being in charge of everything. Ruling from the shadows.
However, by their own logic, that would make the Jews the master race.
You forgot they’re also criminal masterminds who smuggle in thousands of dollars in drugs over the border, kill hundreds of Americans without getting caught, are master engineers that build massive tunnel networks underground, and scam the government out of billions of dollars via welfare programs.
Honestly I wish immigrants were the people conservatives think they are because they’d have an insane set of skills we could use.
For fascism the power they derive is all from the fear generated by an enemy that is both weak yet strong. They’re weak and know they’re wrong
I keep getting told that the “illegals” in my town somehow all at once -
-don’t pay any taxes
-get a ton of money from the goverment
-get paid a ton of money at the plant “they all” work at
-collect welfare
-do all of the crime
-never get punished for doing all of the crime
Hmmmm. That kind of sounds like corrupt rich people.
