and also wages rise natually if we keep out immigrants, supply and demand, we must keep the supply of workers lower so the demand for them rises and corps have to pay them more. Now some will say that hurts small businesses, not so, because if people have higher wages and more money in their pockets they can buy more goods which helps small businesses. Trickle up.

Eh that seems like a pretty piss poor solution. The actual issue is that corporations will never stop outsourcing labor to countries that have no human rights or labor regulations. If we can't even make em pay us a living wage, how are we going to stop them from outsourcing? They all but own the government outright and can't be stopped.

If we WERE to solve outsourcing somehow we still have corps that are incentivized to keep wages low so they can keep shareholder return high.

And next to that, automation has lowered job availability so much that manufacturing jobs that drove old America will never come back. If they did, the population of America is still too high to provide jobs for all.

not with that atiitude. if they keep outsourcing jobs out, give em higher taxes, arrest their ceos, raise tarriffs on their goods. Never sit back and throw your hands up and give up and say we can do nothing

I wish I could share your enthusiasm, seems pretty damn hopeless to me when both parties are in cahoots and actively doing insider trading based on unreleased national security reports

too true

I'm a wild optimist.

Truth is we all often complain online about how bad things are but I love life and like looking at the bright sides and I feel like there are good people out there, and if there weren't the world would be much worse, like a dystopia such as in 1984. We talk about the terrible founding fathers, freemasons, slaveowners, rich elites, war criminals, but truth is they could have made things a lot worse if they wanted, there is a lot of good in the constitution and bill of rights and that is the main reason this country became what it is and why everyone wants to move here. I'm sitting on my deck on a beautiful day as I type this, that helps my optimism. I know not all have it as well.
