define the rich

 

The people whose wealth increases exponentially, simply by sitting on their assets; who make more in a month from passive income than you or I could earn in a year. Like the Saudi, Hong Kong and Muscovite businessmen who own multiple empty flats in West London that it's not even worth their while to let out.

 

just checking it wasnt the peasants on 120k a year

 

Those people are already paying tax, no point rinsing them further.

 

The New York Times gives liberals The Danish Permission to pivot on mass immigration

One of the key roles The New York Times plays in American society is as guardians of the liberal Overton window. Its editorial line sets the terms for what's permissible to discuss in polite circles on the center left. Whether it's covid mask efficiency, trans kids, or, now, mass immigration. When The New York Times allows the counter argument to liberal orthodoxy to be published, it signals to its readers that it's time to pivot.

On mass immigration, the center-left liberal orthodoxy has for the last decade in particular been that this is an unreserved good. It's cultural enrichment! It's much-needed workers! It's a humanitarian imperative! Any opposition was treated as de-facto racism, and the idea that a country would enforce its own borders as evidence of early fascism. But that era is coming to a close, and The New York Times is using The Danish Permission to prepare its readers for the end.

As I've often argued, Denmark is an incredibly effective case study in such arguments, because it's commonly thought of as the holy land of progressivism. Free college, free health care, amazing public transit, obsessive about bikes, and a solid social safety net. It's basically everything people on the center left ever thought they wanted from government. In theory, at least.

 

What is “the Danish Permission”? NYT won’t let me read.
