Abusing Statistics ft. Black Pigeon Speaks

Someone at work was spreading rightwing talking points today, I spoke against it. A few years back the same thing happened at another work and I said nothing. I think you and people like you changed me and I thank you for it.

Enjoyed this. As always you put a sound analysis in a palatable package with your great voice. I also liked how you addressed legitimate anxieties over immigration in the working class and hinted at the proper recourse ;). However I would say that governments and corporate interests do have a reason to support immigration because of the fact that it has long term positive effects on economies despite short term losses for the working class. As you said though the answer isn't to blame immigrants but the system in which that is allowed to happen.

Great video! Another point, if I'm not mistaken, is that BPS seems to be assuming that all of the studies he cites assume immigrants are from "Non-Western countries". That's non-sense, considering I'm an immigrant from one EU country to another :P

6.24 whole sargons of mocking the birdman? And I thought today was gonna be dull.
