Immigrant workers in the US are the definition of essential workers. Many work hard agricultural jobs and take exploitatively low wages to do so.
They'll be "detained" in for profit prisons and then under the federal prisoner labor program they'll get paid 10 cents an hour to do the same work. The detention will end up becoming indefinite and private corps will reap the profits of modern-day slavery on a bigger scale than they already do from our (disproportionately) large incarcerated population.
I hate how possible this is
And Californian’s rejected a ballot measure to make this illegal, so they’re getting what they wanted.
Absolutely insane this measure was rejected
SOME Californians
Grrrrr
What are the increments between those 2 values?
It’s ok. Once DOGE kills the economy, everybody will be eager to trim trees and drive Uber and deliver DoorDash. Except there won’t be anyone able to pay them to do that.
Nonsense, the FREE MARKET will provide. The FREE MARKET loves us and wants to protect us from the mean old world.
The FREE MARKET that bans all freedom by placing Tariffs against other countries to control the market and banning the production of products such as lab grown meats before they come to market and car sales from manufacturers to consumers without having middle men. (Those 2 are just Florida examples).
We want the enslaved market
Yep, the FREE MARKET working as the founding fathers intended...
