You Were Stupid. Will You Still Be Stupid in 2020?

I never understood that whole "Mexicans are stealing our jobs" spiel. The Mexicans are simply doing jobs no white 'Murican wants to do to begin with.

They hate Mexicans.  It's all about the hate with these motherfuckers.

That's sort of a half truth. There are places where Mexican labor comes in and takes over a construction industry. Hard to say no white people want decent construction jobs. It's not even a racial thing really, you just get a Mexican foreman one place, and he perfers to communicate in Spanish and bam, it's all mexican labor. Also places with no mexicans, say Utah, all the jobs seem to get done.

There is this odd thing with many left wing people, where they are against sending jobs overseas, but fine with illegals coming and doing them here. It seems contradictory to me.

The part that is true though, is that farm labor jobs are not going to get done without immigrants.

Reality is more complicated than some overly repeated phrase like " doing the jobs americans don't want to do" or the inverse "taking our jobs"

Its obviously a mix.

Competition with the record number of folks on SS disability ?


BTW, we've had OSHA for decades, why the ever increasing number of folks on SS disability ??

I know, snarky rhetorical questions . . .

We have an aging population?

That has never enjoyed such workplace safety protections throughout their careers.

Otta be a plethora of oldsters available for all manner of tasks.

Or did 'something' happen ??

Old people get injured and sick and become disabled far easier than younger people. I think the correlation between workplace safety and disability is miniscule compared to the link between age and disability.

I was entertaining the idea OSHA was 'ok' in their efforts and perhaps EPA is the fuck up, for example, dropping the ball on, as it turns out, numerous serious water contamination issues, of which it turns out Flint was neither the first nor the worst . . .

And I'm still of the opinion there should be a strong correlation between employment levels, disability levels, welfare levels and factors affecting them such as OSHA or EPA dropping the ball, whatever administration is charge 'cooking' the numbers, and other matters both minor and major.

I noted on POTUS (Sirius/XM) the other day while unemployment is at a record low, the number of people not actually working remains at comparable levels to the last administration. That can't be right, and yet no one is calling Trumply on it.

The press is donning Teflon gloves to deal with THIS president ??

WTF ?!?!?!?!
