Today, companies are either firing people or reducing hours so they don't have to pay pension. Debts are at an all time high. Housing prices are ballooning and no longer guarantee a profit, instead they are a liability and mean more debt. Rental rates in cities where there a jobs are ridiculously expense. This will kill any incentive to work or just mean you have no choice but to move back with mom and dad. Don't blame immigrants for that.
Sarcasm that post for Ms. Liberal everything. Kill incentive to work? Huh? You ever washed dishes? Most people of my Generation did. Never too proud to do crappy jobs.
So says the Media, that everybody should “learn to code”, yeah right. If someone has $100k student debt for a useless history or art degree, why should the rest of us subsidize their own stupidity? Choices and free will. Engineering degrees I am sure there are plenty of jobs.
I am advanced age, and have no incentive to start more businesses, risk capital, nor live in the US nor pay taxes for this current Obama Clinton Bush mess and now open border nonsense. I didnt work for any Govt job or say 20 years as some public employee getting 80% pension income at 45 retired after 20 years.
Good Manufacturing jobs were exported starting 40 years ago. There has been no wage growth for years. At 21, I was making $11.50 an hour, doing non union, dirty filthy factory work, but that was many decades ago. Then came the NAFTA scam. Then Allowing Japanese Companies to copy US technology and import it to the US, instead of tariffing imported all Autos years ago was a mistake. GM and Detroits shitty quality Union built cars forced buyers to switch (Meanwhile the Japanese refused to buy foreign cars, unless classic collector 69’ types), this opened the doors for Toyota, Datsun, Kia and Honda. Toyota who used to scam the tax system with importing chassis only to avoid taxes.
Ross Perot predicted the mess now. Consumerism and overspending debt is personal responsibilty, not collectiveism the rest of us should sponsor. Nobody is entitled to a big screen TV, a car, house, if you can afford one fine. Same with rent, you cant afford a nice place you start in the low rent area and if you don’t work, you don’t eat.
IIlegals have for years, displaced entry level jobs for legal citizens with no skills and hurt them and replaced “teenagers” jobs. In retail, etc. kids like me when young used to do entry level work and shit jobs like wash dishes, wash cars, deliver papers, clean toilets and kitchens in restaurants, etc. certainly has been a problem since 70’s-80’s. Especially when some dumb politicians now think $15 minimum wage for unskilled labor is ok. Working at Starbucks expecting a living wage, so they need to charge $5. For a stupid cup of coffee? Insane.
Both Political parties caused this mess.
Legal Immigrants should be skilled and like Trump states, basic common sense on merit. Language skills, workforce skills. They should not allow Foreign companies to buy up US Companies. The Govt should deport anyone who is working but not intending to permanently reside as many they are spies and future Competitors. The US has enough dishwashers, gardeners and house cleaners for now, and from the first waves of Illegals in 70’s- 80’s. No free anything for anyone who broke immigration laws to enter. Be it on a plane overstaying a visa or hopping the fence. Its ludicrous. Teenagers should work at Fast Food say McDonalds, mandatory work ethic prepatory training.
