Cuba Offers to Pay Reparations

Yes, I said that, Anchovies. What I did not say was this:



And you never posted any evidence for your other claims, did you, Anchovies? Do so now, if you can.



Poor Anchovies.
Now we got “other claims,” and I’m the one accused of moving goalposts

Bottom line, twitter, taking twitted for anything but entertainment, is for the less educated, and the last thing twitter does is expand one’s cerebral potential, in fact, the opposite has been prove true

They're your claims, Anchovies.

You posted 'em.

"“Some 42% of adult Twitter users have at least a bachelor’s degree – 11 percentage points higher than the overall share of the public with this level of education (31%).”


Poor Anchovies.
 
Based on what I'm seeing from Florida Cubans,
we're probably taking the wrong approach.

If ICE really wanted to make themselves useful,
they should be sending many of these American-born people to Cuba.
They're right-wing nutjobs, and Diaz-Canal
can probably deal with them better than we seem to be able to do.
NO. We should banish the left wingnuts to Cuba where they belong.
 
What do I owe them and why if you're so righteous?

Are you expecting a rational response?

Which means 58% don’t, thanks

X is pulling in a disproportionately educated crowd. Your “58% don’t” is true but irrelevant, like pretending that “most people on airplanes aren’t pilots” is proof that flying is for non-pilots.

The baseline is the general population, and X beats it by a wide margin.

And to show you are full of shit, from your own source, or rather what you took off “AI Overview,,” from the actual Pew Research Report;

“most users rarely tweet, but the most prolific 10% create 80% of tweets from adult U.S. users,” as noted, thanks

You think that refutes what I posted?

I'll understand completely if you cannot explain, of course.

No problem, my contention was that dullards dominate twitter, to which you countered with 42% of twitter users have college degrees implying they aren’t dimwits, yet from the actual source, 10% of twitters users post 80% of the posts, meaning your college educated “rebuttal” is bullshit

Any inference you arrived at is on you, Anchovies. Education ≠ intelligence.

You claimed (without evidence) that X is "for for the less educated". I refuted that with the Pew study.

Not a single word in the study indicates that power users (those are the people who post the most, Anchovies) are less educated.

Nor does Pew gives a shred evidence that the top 10% posters by volume are “dullards” or "dimwits".

The report does describe the frequent posters in detail (pages 3, 9–10):
  • They’re more likely to be women (65% vs. 48% of other users).
  • They’re far more political (69% have tweeted about politics vs. 39% overall).
  • They skew more Democrat/liberal on certain issues.
This is textbook goalpost-moving, Anchovies. By Y O U.

You started by claiming that X users are “less educated” than other people, but cited no source to support such a contention at all.

I showed data that indicated that X users are “more educated than the general public”. Then you tried to equate educational credentials with intelligence and tried to blame me for your own conclusion.

It’s the same bad-faith move as before.

The source I provided confirms the educational advantage and says nothing about frequent posters being less educated.

Your “dullards” and "dimwits" contentions were never backed by data, and still aren’t.

Poor Anchovies.
 
Still waiting for one of you virtue signaling morons to explain exactly why I owe black folks who are my contemporaries as Americans anything.

And begin!
 
Where is Cuba going to get they much money?

The Cuban government does not currently have the money to pay reparations for U.S. property confiscated after the 1959 revolution. The U.S. Foreign Claims Settlement Commission certified roughly 5,900 valid claims with a principal value of about $1.9 billion (mostly corporate). With 6% simple interest accruing since the 1960s, the total now stands at roughly $8–10 billion.

Cuba has floated ideas in recent weeks for a “lump-sum” settlement as part of broader U.S. talks, but Cuban officials tie it explicitly to lifting the U.S. embargo (“blockade”), normalizing relations, and allowing American investment. In other words, they are not offering to pay out of existing coffers.
 
You can make another thread for that. This is about Cuba owing America reparations for their historic injustice.
It wasn't me who brought this up in this thread. I will discuss anything I want anywhere I want. If you think you're at some kind of an important think tank you are delusional.
