DLS getting all excited in regards to the Biden Boom:
- An overall spending package worth between $2-4tr will be proposed.
- It will focus on roads and green infrastructure.
- It will be funded by tax hikes for corporations from 21% to 28% and higher personal taxes for $4ook+ earners and higher capital gains taxes for $1m+ earners.
…and he is probably correct – it will trigger a staggering boom, for Corporate profits and immigrants, because they will be the ultimate and ONLY beneficiaries of this largess.
Why? Because of this:
- Under Biden’s immigration proposal all foreign students enrolled in U.S. universities will have the right to stay and work in this country for 10 years—and after that, they will be awarded green cards;
(TAKE THAT Australian Universities…. and Leith wonders where Aust Universities are getting these notions). - In lieu of better working conditions or decent salaries, employers get to offer green cards to foreign students. And there’s no cap on these student workers;
- US Govt will subsidize employers who hire foreigners over Americans;
- Companies don’t pay payroll taxes on their foreign student employees, saving them more than 8 percent per worker!
- Raising diversity visas – yes, diversity visas! To increase intake from nations that have previously had little cultural influence or migration to America from 50k to 80k.
Why? Because ‘Why not?’ More diversity and fracturing of social consensus is always better than less;
For the moment Trump’s working visa restrictions remain in place and the immigration pump is cloaked as foreign students (just like Australia), but Biden and his backers are itching to roll those reforms back as well – the slightest uptick in the economy or wages will see the cry of ‘skills shortages’ go up and in a flash the migrant mobs will be back. How do we know? Because every other immigration category other than outright working visas have already been pumped back up to the max:
“The State Department issued nearly 290,000 fewer immigrant visas in the categories that the ban targeted during the year that it was in effect. If they are not from a country on which Biden has imposed a countrywide entry ban—mostly Europe, South Africa, Brazil, China, and Iran—these immigrants will now be able to immigrate to the United States. This is great news for them and for the Americans with whom they plan to associate.” [Stewie: i.e. US corporations]

When DLS first started wanking on about the Biden Boom I agreed that it would be possible, but I stated the boom would be in Company profits and immigration, there will be ZERO real wage growth for existing Americans.
jesus christ that picture lol
but yeah sounds like america is super charging its migration intake, as soon as the covid fear veil is lifted post-vaccination australia will copy and then some
i’m more comfortable with a coming chinese world than ever — the united states is the true great satan at this point, a pit from which all things culturally nugatory and deleterious emerge
it isn’t even a white western country anymore, if you’ve been there in the last 5 years you’ll know exactly what i mean
The US has been culturally conquered and turned into a dumb golem. The values you see in the US, typified by Cardi B and her WAP, are not the WASP values of half a century ago, but the degenerate Weimar Republic values promoted by the new elite, that they as the US’s cultural conquerors, like to see instilled in their cattle. As they have done throughout the centuries, they gain power over incumbent elites by promoting rights over responsibilities, fracturing united opposition through policies of diversity and manufactured injustices, and appealing to the most base human natures.
I too am starting to wonder if I would prefer China as the new global hegemon. At least our existing societies would be organised on a hierarchical structure of competency, instead of elevating incompetence to authority in order to make up for non-existent injustices, which are really just an expression of natural outcomes and capabilities. It is unlikely that China would punish us any worse than our existing leaders are doing by seeking to flood our nations with mass migration and force our economy to perpetuate the imported cultural values of other failed cultures from around the world at our expense.
i think i’d prefer the soviet union as global hegemon over the u.s at this point, or even a certain central european regime that existed for a brief period in the mid 20th century
the cultural pull of the cardibocracy is disturbing – have you ever heard of iggy azalea? she’s this white australian girl from fucking MULLUNBIMBY of all places who moved to atlanta in her late teens to pursue a life of imitating black american rap stars
In a MultiCult society culture trends to the lowest common denominator, otherwise it is exclusionary and elitist.
MultiCult doesn’t lead to a higher culture, it just dissolves everything until you’re left with a disgusting, degenerate gloop.
A disgusting, degenerate gloop huh?
Kinda like the stuff u fart out of your ass, hey stewie? …after you’ve just been bummed by brenten. U dirty old deviant!
😂 🤣😂
Lol
wish he would attack me
Sorry to disappoint you, but my asshole is puckered so tight that most of my farts sound like someone strangling a mouse 🐭.
Once again I imagine you are speaking from experience in terms of gloopy farts – perhaps you should practice your kegel exercises a little more regularly?
Hold on, you’re not serious wrt this?
Because this describes the US culture of the masses (you know, those outside ghettos and upper 10% of the revenue generating
Yeah I am and I know it now describes US culture of the masses, but bear with me and I will explain.
While MultiCult does encourage siloed communities with each trying to perpetuate their own values and culture, that is not necessarily true for the economic forces outside of those siloed communities that seek to feed off them – which is the whole point of people farming.
So rather than supporting broad multicultural entertainment and cultural icons tailored to each individual community, like say an Australian Demis Roussos for the Australian Greek community or a Fela Kuti for an Australian African community, the pressures of Globohomo aka Global Homogeneous Corporations trying to get the most bang for its buck, what will happen instead is that they will instead focusing on the promoting the artists that have the broadest market appeal in order to capture the widest market ie the lowest common denominator.
Because if music or culture doesn’t aim for the lowest common denominator in a society that has drunk the Kool-aid lie of cultural relativity, then it risks being too complex or cerebral for everyone, which in turn makes it exclusionary and elitist.
That is imho one of the reasons why we are seeing “artists” like Cardi B Megan Thee Stallion perform “WAP” at the at the 2021 Grammy Awards, instead of someone like the Beatles or Bob Dylan. It is also the reason why, imho, that the peak in musical complexity in terms of lyric writing occurred in the 1960’s – before the US changed its immigration Act and MultiCult first officially became a thing:
Now MultiCult imho is part of that, the other is commercialism, being that songs with the broadest chance of success, meaning the ones that are the most accessible are the ones that are promoted and supported i.e. Globohomo.
So when you said that is what majority Western culture is now – and I will agree with that – however IMHO this WASN’T always the case.
Prior to MultiCult the basis of immigration was performed under the policy of assimilation and integration, the plural cultural blending which then occurred was as Ermo imho most accurately noted as being “They added the best bits of their culture, while leaving the shitty bits behind” this didn’t just extend across to normal social values, like say the treatment of women and the roles of families, but to cultural aspect such as creative arts and music.
This meant that foreign cultures and values, that were compatible to the existing culture and values, were incorporated into the social and cultural fabric – this wasn’t an appeal to the lowest common denominator, instead, instead the highest aspect of each introduced culture that met the minimum acceptable standards of the existing social cultural values was eligible to be incorporated – frankly there is no way that the performance at the Grammy’s the other night would have been deemed to be acceptable within cultural values of a higher setting.
Now here I will be potentially racist and criticise Rap or pop song and dance in the style of Carli B, by saying Sub-Saharan Africans are imho the lowest common denominator in terms of cultural complexity and the elevation of displays of raw sexuality as a cultural attribute. If you compare the dance moves, like twerking, which was popularised within Rap largely by African American artists like Carli B, they are virtually indistinguishable to tribal dances you might see on David Attenborough. Hyper sexuality is a very overt trait of much of African society.
Do other population groups behave in such fashion? Undoubtably, but they were always at the fringes or the underground. European and most Asian societies were veritably prudish by comparison. While these underground change agents could occasionally bubble up and either influence and change society or be squashed back down, you certainly didn’t have commercial interests chasing these fringe values down and seeking to make them gain mainstream acceptance in the way that the forces of commercialism and globohomo do today.
This is what I meant by when I said “MultiCult doesn’t lead to a higher culture, it just dissolves everything until you’re left with a disgusting, degenerate gloop.“
Yes – some autobahns would be nice right now
instead we got the grocery code of conduct and travel vouchers
And $120b of giveaway to the tradies – don’t forget that.
mph, and the $60b that Treasury found behind the couch…
but we can’t afford autobahns, see.
It’s a good point.
While the Chinese elite certainly hate white people and are resentful about 200 year old injustices committed by British psychopaths, could life for a white, straight male be any worse in a Chinese satellite state than modern day Australia or the US?
Yes the Sassoon family certainly did nothing to endear themselves to the locals while hiding under the British flag.
Yes
and the Chinese know what to do with the muslims as well
all the great values of the us (personal freedoms, freedom of speech etc) are gone anyway
so all we are left with is rapacious capitalism and social degeneracy
not to mention they get good infrastructure, chinese build a hospital in a week while the installation of a traffic light system at the intersection near my house has taken the last year and a half with no end in sight
our countries have all of the disadvantages that come with ‘free’ democratic systems (inefficiencies, vetocracy, absolutely nothing getting done, special interests) but almost none of the advantages anymore – so what’s the point?
Eek!
all muslims that I have ever known personally are very nice people.
It’s unfortunate that some fundamentalist sects have hijacked and tarnished the name :/
“Not all muslims”
Maybe even not all Chinese muslims?
will you grant peachy that?
hai-ya, no no no. No China please.
Delirious Dave must have had his head in a sand for the last few months because this was coming all along.
we all knew it, MB has always had this weird optimistic thing where when a new politician moves in they (usually briefly) talk them up as saviours
they did this with jacinta ardern, biden and even malcolm turnbull if anyone remembers that ancient news
For sure. For a bunch of doomsayers is bloody amazing how optimistic and naive the blokes are!
This reminds me – I suspects it long past time that an update to the “constant catfish” article (https://www.ezfka.com/2020/10/18/peachy-prediction-macrobusiness-to-fawn-over-arderns-property-promises-be-disappointed-in-18-months/) is posted.
yeah i’d love to see you grill that fish – what a fizzler she turned out to be
and how much input from becker with the bullshit?
does anyone else get the feeling DLS is chomping at the bit for a future war (that he wont be fighting in) against china
https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2021/03/biden-mobilises-american-imperium-to-confront-china-bullyboy/#comments
the dude is sounding more and more like a neocon warhawk by the day
Nowadays if you are a secular conservative then chances are you are a neoconservative, which essentially means you’re a non-identifying Juicy barbarian, ergo with the progressive left and idiots like Mig versus the more traditional left of the likes of Ermo.
Both are secular, the difference being that Ermo grew up and came of age in a largely Christian based secular society, while Mig is a broken half man, raise as a cultureless goyim in a ‘secular’ society whose main policy institutions are funded by wealthy Juicy businessmen, like Frank Lowy. Mig gets his ethics from the book of SBS or the Lowy Institute. Just look at the outrage that Ramsay caused by wanting to establish a Uni course based around Western Civilization – meanwhile Lowy Institute gets a free pass to redefine everyone in Australia as an immigrant, other than the local spear chuckers.
Secular in a fairly culturally homogenous society means something entirely different to secular in a MultiCult society whose elites overwhelmingly identify with a single separate cultural identity, and use their considerable resources to propagate and project their cultural values, or the cultural values they value in their cattle, throughout the society they control.
DLS may has well get his foiker chopped off to formalise his allegiance.
If the US imperium was interested in national interest, do you really think they would be simultaneously flooding their nation with 3rd world migrants in order to raise diversity, while demonising the people and culture who founded America?
The neo-elites in America are solely interested in control and profit, as ends unto themselves. China still presents vast opportunities to profit, which is why when you type “Biden”, “China” and “Engagement” into google you see a flood of articles that suggest that this is the long term goal.
The moment China breaks away and forms an economic and banking system that actually threatens the global banking cabal, THEN China will genuinely be considered a threat. Their stockpiling of gold represents a very real long term threat to any re-ordering of the existing financial system, but until that occurs it makes sense for the cabal to just bide their time – there’s profit to be had in the meantime. Biden’s trillion dollar budget deficits should help to hasten that moment along.
All in all, I think over the past few decades we are witnessing either what happens when either the power of capital is too great versus its more mercantile symbiotic relationship with workers/proletariat in days gone past. Or simply that we are approaching the early days of the ‘4th act’ of capitalism which is it’s ‘true and ultimate’ form, which is really some form of plutocracy and exists as capitalism (pre 1980s – i.e. the system we were all sold on) increasingly by name only.
Good times ahead…
“The neo-elites in America are solely interested in control and profit, as ends unto themselves.”
And here lies the issue with capitalism unrestrained, essentially. It’s gone from being a clear net-net benefit to both not only capital holders, but employees in developed nations with a symbiotic relationship of sorts, to with the advent of extreme globalisation of everything, a net cancer working actively against the interests of the proletariat.
‘zactly what made China a “rogue state” (and because they are in realistic position to make that happen)
No one will remember that it is actually US that cut the branch it sits upon (or ‘decided to slaughter the seep it sheared for decades’) when it weaponised the financial flows.
