This is all just nauseating and surreal. I'm so angry not necessarily at the three branches, but more at the intellectually lazy Americans in this country.
I'm sick of, "this isn't what we voted for."
IT'S EXACTLY WHAT "YOU" VOTED FOR!! What in the world did you expect?!?!
The conversations I had with fellow trade workers were HORRIFYING.
I’m talking 2 generation Hispanic workers who were going to vote Republican. I talked until I was blue in the face (pun intended).
Unchecked immigration is destroying the trades for documented workers. Dems own a big big part of it
There has been wage stagnation for almost 2 decades in large part to a bottomless pit of undocumented workforce that keeps wages low through labor saturation. BC workers while benefit from some aspects of UD workers pay a disproportionate price compared to other Americans who are only the consumers
Our parties messaging and quite frankly their utter denial of the real costs most blue collar workers were paying for this flood of UD labor (because overall it helps keep inflation lower) drove BC votes out of our party in record #’s
Can you share the source of this information? Effects of UD labor (not illegal labor) on workforce, wages, real costs for BC workers over everyone else. I'm always trying to learn the real issues and I can't find info that matches what you're saying. Thx!!!
The notion that a market that is flooded with more workers than work shouldn’t require a degree in economics to understand. Complicating this is the fact that we are talking about UNDOCUMENTED workers to boot. They by definition are under reported.
Let pose a simple question to you. I was a hiring manager for a mid size construction corp. so I’m not being condescending. Please consider the following
When I ran an ad for hiring carpenters we posted the job at 35-45 per hour to start. Based on tools owned skills etc…
If 40 applicants applied
