Population essentially doesn't matter - people are talking about density here. For example, Phoenix is essentially an enormous suburb with giant malls, and you never hear of despite its population numbers. Boston is a small city with rich urban life that occupies an outsize role in the American psyche.

We are on the right side of history - progress always is. People like me are much more trustworthy because we're not motivated by greed, but for the desire for a better world.
Property is theft from the commons - and here this is doubly untrue: the taxes are a reasonable level on a global mega-corporation with millions of people in near-slave conditions.
Dictatorship of the proletariat, of course. You see left wing ideas rising in the discourse, media, and world - the fire burns within, Capitalism will fall soon

Re:Palantir Admits to Helping ICE Deport Immigrants on Wednesday September 30, 2020 @11:02AM (#24639438)
We must defund and destroy not just ICE but the paramilitary system that it is a part of (FBI/DHS/etc).

If you buy into the IPO, if you work at Palantir, or if you financially gain from this ecosystem you are profiting from the racist deportation of people who just want a better life.

I've never heard of a downside to having a large talent pool - how could there be?

The idea of Federal police acting in states is unconstitutional on the face of it - especially paramilitary organizations like DHS/ICE

Going to need a source - most corruption is corporate, unions represent Labor and thus don't have a corruption incentive (only Capital does)
None of this is true - we must defund the military, reallocate the spending to true social equality and social reprogramming.

Sounds like Silicon Valley in America, especially with transit and housing.

Philly is a very poor city though, modest increases in COL hit hard.
