I was having a related thought on what people find to be an acceptable level of immigration.
My thinking is that people do it largely in relative terms. So if you are a 'brain-dead liberal' you will simply want more immigration than that which the right-wing 'fascist' would want. If they are demanding that immigration be reduced to 'tens of thousands' then you will be ok with hundreds of thousands. But if they were asking for zero immigration, then maybe you yourself would be ok with tens of thousands. The actual level and is irrelevant, it is your position versus the other side that matters.
Get behind me, Government!

Enjoyed this essay. Don't think it will move those demanding equity.

Health care a a right except doctors not wanting to work for free.
We do now see a growing backlash against the notion of woke. Overreach has always caused that. A return to the middle might be a very good thing.
