Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[Methais]

It's pretty safe to say that team MAGA is incapable of the truth when it comes to their rhetoric. Facts are irrelevant to them, only the sentiment matters.

Do you consider yourself "enlightened?"

401k, plus 252k, plus 220k is equal to what PB?

I didn’t know 873k is over 1m. Must be those alternative facts. Net immigration is only 400k.

Why don’t you break out the calculator and check yourself?

I just went by your unlabeled, raw numbers without cite and assumed the first number in each row was the total number of immigrants.

Before we go on any further, you do realize that 400K isn't "873K", right? Also, if you add up the numbers you provided, it's not even 873.. it's 874,732.

Because you claimed it was "more like 400K", which was just the amount in 2022.

I mean, you did attempt to make yourself look less dumb by the edit after my post.. but like everything else you attempt: You failed.

Maybe if you realized I only did the thousands, you’d get my number. And 400k is about right. You know look at NET migration.

Facts are hard for you, I understand that.

Shaps numbers don't add up, but why look at NET when he was talking about immigration and not emigration?

Ok.

So... your made up number of "873K" is still not closer to 400K as you claimed it was... but it's hilarious that you are now looking at "net" migration in a futile effort to make yourself look less dumb.

ETA: Wait, are you being sarcastic here too?

That’s why I had both immigration and net immigration.

Immigration is roughly 873k, net immigration is roughly 400k

2023, and PB still doesn’t understand the concept of of rounding down/up numbers

First it’s punctuation, now it’s this.

Let me help you PB.
Total immigration: roughly 873k
Total net immigration: roughly 400k

Is that simple enough for you? Or is that four syllable word to big for you?

"In addition, nearly 12 percent had at least one foreign-born parent. Of the 17.6 million people residing in the Netherlands on 1 January 2022, 2.6 million were born abroad. They came to the Netherlands as migrants. The remaining 15.0 million residents were born in the Netherlands."

You can look at the chart - when you have 15% of a population foreign born - out of 17 million... and only increasing... they are done as the "Netherlands".

With the influx and rising number, it will become something else entirely.

I disagree, rounding from a number far below 1m, to 1m PLUS?

Because they can count all the illegals coming in. Right. Keep making excuses. They collapsed. The Finnish government resigned a while back, Sweden voted in a right leaning government to fight this immigration crap, Spain, Italy, Greece, France is in civil war and many of them are talking leaving or ending the EU. And yet you fuckwit morons keep claiming that an open border is a good thing.

May you live under the full brunt of your horrible policy desires.

GTFO with your pedantic argument, the country is flooded and it's collapsing.

It will become what exactly? Is there something wrong or defective with people born outside of their country of residency that the rest of us are unaware of that you'd like to share?
