What?

I mean this is the guy that unironically proposed migrant work camps

As long as the facilities are maintained and you pay them a legal wage, what's honestly the problem with "workfare" for migrants?

It's that he used the term "work camps." Historically they've never been beneficial for the person on the receiving end.

The prime minister also reinforced his reputation as the EU’s main maverick with a powerful anti-immigration manifesto that equates migrants with terrorists, says immigrants are taking Hungarians’ jobs, recommends internment camps for illegal immigrants and states they should be forced to work.

I don't do well with russkie names tbh

aaand he's the only one I've read <_<

Although someone has recommended one of Dostoyevsky's books to me, so i'll give that a go when I get around to it.

nah fam read War and Peace, The Death of Ivan Ilyich, and Anna Karenina instead

So they're not promoting unhealthy practices while trying to cure those unhealthy practices?

Not to say diet pop isn't unhealthy, it most certainly is. It just looks better for the hospital.

But Meta what about the post-war fiscal "conservatives" subsequent raising and maintaining of the income tax (i.e. Eisenhower's 90% income tax rate) on those earning over X amount?

Yes of course that wasn't the capital gains tax (where most in that bracket make their earnings) rate which was only ~25% at Eisenhower's term and remained so until Nixon's term where he raised it to 36.5%. That of which was then raised even higher in Ford's term to nearly 40%.

I read somewhere tax rates that high, had they not been cut, would have eventually severely harmed the economy.

Infringment cases are always interesting. Curious to see where this goes.

What's the process on these cases generally?

I would assume economic sanctions or revoking some member privileges if all persuasive dialogue fails?

Why not look it up and become better informed by learning things yourself?

What is everybody's deal here with running to Meta and Flee? LOL You guys are like little kids that think their parents know everything.

My apologies for trying to develop a discussion on a forum.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission opened on Thursday an infringement case against Hungary over its recently adopted asylum law because it breaches European Union rules.

The EU executive said it was not satisfied with the response from Hungarian authorities regarding its concerns.

"As a consequence of these concerns, the Commission has today initiated an infringement procedure and sent a letter of formal notice to Hungary. The Hungarian authorities have two months to respond to the Commission," the EU executive said.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's policy is to fend off the flow of hundreds of thousands of migrants pouring into Europe from the Middle East and Asia, triggering criticism from his neighbors.

British soldier Chris Herbert lost his leg as a result of a roadside bomb in Basra, Iraq. He was frustrated that people expected him to be racist towards Muslims because of his injury, so Herbert took to Facebook to lash out against people blaming all Muslims for recent terrorists attacks by ISIL.

He wrote (spelled verbatim):

Yes. A Muslim man blew me up, and I lost my leg.

A Muslim man also lost his arm that day wearing a British Uniform.

A Muslim medic was in the helicopter that took me from the field

A Muslim surgeon performed the surgery that saved my life

A Muslim Nurse was part of the team that helped me when I returned to the UK

A Muslim Healthcare Assistant was part of the team that sorted out my day-to-day needs in rehabilitation when I was learning to walk

A Muslim taxi driver gave me a free ride the first time I went for a beer with my Dad after I came home.

A Muslim doctor offered my Dad comfort and advice in a pub, when he didn’t know how to deal with my medicines and side effects.

Since the Paris terrorist attacks, there’s been a sharp increase in the number of Islamophobic incidents across the world. Hate crimes against Muslim have tripled in London following the Paris attacks, and there have been near-daily incidents against Muslims in the US and Canada, including a brutal assault of a Muslim store owner.

To emphasize his point, Herbert goes on to detail the unpleasant incidents he’s had with “white Brits” since his injury:

A white brit spat in my girlfriends face for ‘fucking a cripple when you could have me [him]’

A White brit pushed my wheelchair away from a lift so he could use it first.

A White brit screamed at my Dad for parking in a disabled bay when I was in the services coming home

(Although, alot of people helped in my recovery! I dont hate white brits either! hahaha)

Herbert’s post has been shared over 124,000 times since he wrote it on Tuesday (Dec. 9) and has been widely praised on social media. Former soldier Johnny Mercer told BBC Trending that Herbert’s comments “reflect the views of many, many soldiers.”
