Slave wage like labor*? That better?

Cheap labor.

Immigration in America has largely always been all about cheap labor. Nothing at all to do with opportunity . That was always just a way to positively spin it to the folks already here. Slaves, Irish and Chinese building rail roads. Only a few came for freedom. Most just wanted jobs or wellfare.

Some pocket came for realistate investment from China.

The h1b1 stuff is wild. Millions coming all getting high paid IT jobs just because it's cheaper that way. They go to school for pennies in India and then come here and keep the price of a IT worker down a bit. Plus they can't quit for 10 years.

Obviously some immigration makes American companies more competitive.

But it's about cheap labor. That's what American immigrantion is all about. Always has been.

That's rage bait. Gets more views if its intentionally angering.

It's a masterpiece

Stated by who? I don't think you need a big bad person in the background to orchestrate it personally.

Traditionally European countries have the highest standard of living.

world wide Europeans are a minority. So most people who are entering European countries are not European. And Europeans rarely want to move to non European countries. Except for maybe Japan.

Rich white folk like cheap / slave labor. In America upper class people have Mexican women cleaning their toilets and Mexican men building their houses and picking their fruit.

Maybe there is some evil group somewhere trying to make it worse but it would happen anyway.

Oh sorry, I was referring back to It's a wonderful life with the saccharine complaint.

Just realised I've seen The Coconuts:) I'm sure there's a couple of theirs I haven't seen tho 👀

Seen The General, will have a look at The Coconuts. It's one of those I feel I need to watch even tho I e heard this as a major complaint. Likewise, feel like I need to watch Casablanca and Gone with the wind

To the deboonkers, his point was that it likely wasn't intentional and orchestrated because it's happened many times before.

Where was this testimony filmed? #asknostr

I've managed to never watch it. But I was thinking about giving in this year. Seems to divide people. 👀

Classic selection, lovely

We are getting to the end of the year.

What was the best skill that you learned this year and why?

I’ll start off… and it may be a surprise.

Wordpress, learning it has opened up the world of having and maintaining a website for me. I like to write and this will allow me an outlet for that, as I turn a page in my life.

You?

I was carrying wood back to the shop that I am building, when I was reminded of a woodworking tip that someone taught me years ago.

They said to never lean lumber lengthways against a wall.

It will cause the boards to bend as gravity pulls on it.

Always lay lumber out flat and supported.

Sounds weird, but it is true.

What movies are you watching over Christmas?

I'm partial to Elf 😏

Are there any BTC miners for the average non technical Joe? And that doesn't cost and arm & leg for it. And actually are good.

Think not, but asking anyhow. Please be gentle with any responses 🤍

Yes but we probably stole it

I’m just going to leave this right here.
