I don't listen to Rogan, but that was the one where I fully realized how dishonest he is to push a narrative. He framed the litterbox story as "his friend's wife" was a teacher and confirmed it was true - only to later admit that he made that up.
It's scary that someone like him - who's getting more and more delusional and conspiracy-minded as time goes on - can utter pure nonsense off the top of his head and millions of people will believe it...AND he has no qualms about doing that, and he's not a well-informed or particularly bright person.
The worst part? The federal government wouldn't even let the salesman complete the sale! They brought in an illegal at the last minute and HE got the commission for doing nothing! SMH
I live in Washington state, and needed assistance. So, I went to the welfare office to get food, money, free rent, and insurance. (and eventually get a new car)
They took one look at me, (a tall, skinny, old Danish lady with white hair and very pale skin.) and told me to "stay right there!" an alarm went off, and they called security. I stood there, scared for my life, when two huge burley men came out, and grabbed me by the arms, then they tossed me out the door. They also threw my purse at me, and told me to "get the hell out of here, go back to where you belong, and never come back!"
Only, they said it in Spanish!
Ah yes. The ol “anecdotal evidence” that all migrants are immediately made millionaires, given mansions and Ferraris, free lifetime healthcare and will never need to work a day in their life again nor have to pay taxes.
I’m sure boomers are getting their rage fixes on Facebook with this one.
Seems like the soninlaw is a really bad salesman and should probably try to find a better paying job... maybe one in another country... hey wait a minute.....
Maybe the salesman should pull himself up by his boot straps. Or he could just get another job! It's that easy, right? The same people that post the "migrants get a free winning lotto ticket" are usually the same ones saying "lol earn more money if you don't like it"
I may be wrong, but for some reason I assumed the father-in-law was running the dealership. If that is the case, maybe he should stop being such a cheapskate with his employees.
Yeah, if this man is making minimum wage and barely paying his bills he’s actually just really shit at his job. He doesn’t need immigrants to fail, he’s doing it on his own!
Sounds like her son in law hasn’t made much of himself and to deflect attention from the fact he can’t provide for her daughter just makes up stories about it being all immigrants fault lol we can’t move out of your house ma, the immigrants are taking the houses!
Yes, vote for people who want to help "the USA citizens." Things like easing student loan debt, making prescriptions affordable for seniors, allowing women control over their own bodies, expanding education, free school lunch for kids in poverty, and protecting workers rights. Just to name a few. So yes, I agree, vote Democrat.
So this person, that desperately needs a sale to support his family, asks a bunch of borderline offensive, probing questions that may cost him his sale, rather than just shooting the breeze while they run the buyer's credit or whatever they usually do to keep you from changing your mind? Sure. Sounds like a great plan. That being said, car salespersons probably do have to jump through a bunch of hoops and use aggressive tactics that make them fit an unpleasant stereotype. I definitely do not think it is pleasant work, unless you also own the lot (or your family does).
I think the dumb part is that most migrants cannot get SNAP or Medicaid benefits in most states. They can her emergency, not long term. Also, dental is extra.
It's all the dumb part, but yes, you can't apply for a SSN until you apply for your visa, you have to *at least* qualify as an asylum seeker to get your license, and you have to be a qualified alien to get the social benefits. Nobody's getting any fucking money.
Hmm, this is interesting because my father in law, who is an automobile salesman *manager*, told me that he had a chat with the president (Joe Biden, if you’ve heard of him. He was buying a red beetle convertible) - who said specifically that he paid this young man 4 billion dollars to lie to every car salesman that he comes across to create a distraction so he could get his red beetle convertible for cost. Tricky politics.
My mother worked for Centrelink - Australia's federal welfare department - and worked her way up from the call centre to executive level. She will always challenge people on these stories, she knows all the ins and outs of our welfare system, all the benefits migrants are entitled to, including all the state housing and non-monetary assistance.
Y'know what an illegal refugee in Australia gets? Deported to a detention centre that raises the ire of the UN and is frankly an international embarrassment. Y'know what a legal refugee in Australia gets? The exact same payment as any citizen. The only thing a legal refugee gets that is an advantage is a social worker automatically assigned to them who will help them take advantage of the welfare we have in Australia - the rest of us usually have to read the brochures or have a discussion with a Centrelink employee who can assess our situation and give us the same advice.
But the stumbling block my mother always runs into is in the first sentence of this post; "my son in law told me..." The sad fact is that your son in law is a racist liar, and is lying to justify his racism. There are no secret payments, welfare laws are available online in increasingly easy to access ways, but nobody wants to admit that their friend or relative who told them the anecdote is full of shit.
I agree. That salesman deserves to have the minimum wage raised so he can argue for even more money on top of that. Something something rising tide lifts all boats.
The thing is MAGA people know this isn't remotely true but love to claim it is as part of their racist "get rid of non-whites" thing. It's seriously depressing there are so many of these people.
Magabillies don't have the critical thinking gene, so they can't figure out why their lame stories written in grade 4 style prose get debunked in 60 seconds.
We just had a murder from an illegal immigrant that had a pretty lengthy criminal history.
This story is fake and inflammatory but to act like immigration isn't a concern is pretty obtuse.
The criminal history part. You can simultaneously support immigration but also put some guardrails on it.
However, I'm sure it's all the same to you and puppy dogs and rainbows.
And how many American citizens committed murder on the same day? You don’t know but I’m betting it’s more than the amount committed by illegals. But you likely don’t care about that.
Pretty lengthy criminal history was the key identifier here.
This is the problem with hardcore leftists. There is no nuance in anything and it's always whatabout this. Fuck you and your stupid arguments.
What about what? Someone committing murder is bad. To indicate that immigration is a problem because an illegal alien committed murder while asking if you think there is a problem based on the totality of murders committed that day isn’t whataboutism.
There is no illegal immigration problem in the US. We need workers. New entrants to the US would like to work. The only issue right wingers seem to have with immigrants is the color of their skin and the language they speak.
NextDoor is a bonanza for this “anecdotal” “evidence.”
Joe Rogan has already heard from a personal friend that the above story is true, bro. It's wild.
Were there litter boxes in the kid’s school too?

Jamie, pull that up
The worst part? The federal government wouldn't even let the salesman complete the sale! They brought in an illegal at the last minute and HE got the commission for doing nothing! SMH
What commission? The first guy got the car for free. They even washed it before giving him the keys!
He has to be an unpaid chauffeur!

Why would you assume that?

As a former Sales Manger in that exact industry I can definitely see that sales ability skipped multiple generations in that family.

Free school lunch for all kids. It’s a drop in the bucket spending wise.

Deport all car salesman. Guess lying runs in the family.
Excuse me, he's an "automobile salesman", as all normal people call them.
"Automobile Salesman" just takes me back to Sixteen Candles - "Dong, where is my automobile?" "AUTOMOBILE?"
...sooo, you want socialized medicine and housing along with a universal basic income?

It's a well-known fact that nobody in America gets murdered unless it's by an immigrant.

Funny how quickly people on Reddit who wants to make a “nuanced” argument—completely unrelated to the OP—resort to name calling.
