That's because NCO stands for Newly Cloned O'Brien.

The regressive right is already explicitly anti science, so... yeah that tracks

You'll need more mass in those teeth.

Depleted uranium chain saw teeth.

Good! But do the people you vote for support that?

Wouldn't it be in everyone's best interest to make those workers legal and pay them a fair wage? They're already doing the job, so if they're bad at it and not worth the wage increase to the business owner, wouldn't that mean other people could now out compete the immigrants for those same jobs?

Doing this would avoid a sudden labor market upset, extend amnesty to the businesses AND their underpaid employees (avoiding violence and suffering for everyone involved), guarantee a fair wage for all the workers involved (current and future), and make those positions competitive on the market.

The only downside is an increase in prices which is going to happen in every other case anyway.

All of that is in the realm of "hopefully" and none of it is in the realm of "will happen because a law says it must."

If citizenry is the magic spell that makes employees pay people more money, why not make all the undocumented citizens with jobs citizens?

Creating a sudden and violent work shortage across a large swath of industries sounds like blowing a hole in the country's foot when the requested results is just a few dollars higher wages. Why not make those industries pay higher wages by law? You could even mandate that those industries verify citizenship before hiring new people if you really wanted to, and provide a path to citizenship for the people who are already here and proving they can do a job and pay taxes.

Paying more wages is going to raise prices in either case, why choose to leave positive outcomes to chance when lawmakers can literally mandate the positive outcomes.

They address this at some point. Something about him not having eye nerves made direct access to his brain via the same neural pathways possible+ necessary. I believe the visor turns the entire EM spectrum directly into neural signals that his brain interprets as sight.

Neither of those things are laws that raise wages.

The first one will reduce supply of all sorts of things, which will raise prices. And it's back to hope again that the suppliers raise wages.

The second one is a tool to raise prices, with no direct way of raising wages so that's kinda the opposite actually.

Any Republicans out there putting forth laws that directly raise wages?

One of my favorite scenes from First Contact is when Barclay brings him a copper coil to look over and he literally eyeballs it going "yeah this'll do" because his eyes can see the micro fractures and imperfections in the material, something even Data can't do. I'd be pissed if someone told me they were taking that away from me!

How delicious is option B?

These little bastards have an AoE attack?

Even if you're not addicted, that whole everything you just said is terrible for you, and I say that as someone who's lived that life before.
