No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

They're often also paying the same payroll taxes as citizens, just with false documents. And then not being able to take advantage of many of the services those payroll taxes provide for.
The documents often aren't fake, otherwise they wouldn't be getting tracked down by their names. Many come to the U.S. on a student visa or work visa or such. And the student gets a job while working to pay for food/life while they are here. When they are done with school or drop out, they are still working. Which makes them now an illegal immigrant, but they still want food the next day, they already have a residence they were staying at and a job they were working, and the taxes they were paying into. They just can't collect social security and such because they can't submit paperwork and such when they are no longer legally here.
For instance Musk moved to the U.S. around 1992, on a student Visa. He did not become a Citizen until 2002. Yet he sold his company to eBay in 2002 (established in 1995). His Visa would have been long expired as he stopped going to school in 1997 supposedly. So 5 out of the 7 years he established growing his company within the U.S. he would have been considered an illegal immigrant. This is something he admitted to on broadcasts before.
Our records show the majority of immigrants who come into the U.S. become illegal after their Visa's or other legal entry methods expire. What they are doing now is systematically reducing the population that currently pays taxes and reducing our workforce while tariffing other countries which will reduce imports overall by making them more costly. Every part of it appears to want to shrink/halt the economic growth of the U.S. The alternative reasons could be that they are anti capitalism, or simply just don't like people who are different.
Yes! Thank you for that reminder and clarification/correction!
I wish I could upvote this more. Even field workers are required to provide documents to get a job. They also receive paper checks, with taxes taken out, just like the rest of us. So they're actually paying into a system they can't use.
