>Broadly, immigration has no effect on crime-rates. This just isn't true. There are a lot of studies that purport this. There are also a lot of studies that purport the opposite. A quick look at https://en.wikipedia.

I don't think shareholders really demand anything, most of the time. So much of the market is just passive 401k buckets. This feels like a pathology of board/C-suite culture , something that they feel like they "have to&quo
