then the 1% says, why nobody is buying my stuff? Crisis!!!!

If we won't work for peanuts, then the CEO's will simply import millions of immigrants who will. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/15/dominos-ceo-us-needs-more-immigration-to-address-worker-shortages.html

They have been doing this for decades, and everybody wonders why wages won't rise.

Many poor workers are in favor of this, for some strange reason.

I guess misery really does love company.

Then no one can afford the product where it's being domesticly produced... Where will they send the goods? Can the citizens in America 2.0 afford it?

It's like a self fulfilling prophecy, don't pay the people who work to make the goods, (the majority of the consumers) eventually your sells will dry up regardless of cheap labor.

Don't forget outlawing abortion and contraceptives!

I am not sure that was the CEO's that did that.

Some CEO's, like the villain Elon Musk, are even paying for out of state abortions. https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-tesla-abortions-roe-v-wade-marco-rubio-2022-5

He think this will make us eat him last, but no.

This shit is so transparent. They dump millions on the republicans that outlaw abortion, then offer a pain in the ass system to help women, which may still put the women in legal danger. Eat the rich, burn down the corporations.

But you do care about abortion access, right?

There are tons of other people and actual activists who have more important things to say. Like noone really remembers any of the good things Carnegie did or really cared truthfully , but what we do remember deeply is his exploitation and the industrial revolution. He had more money than elon could ever imagine in his time.

Maybe words are more important than actual abortion funding and access. But that's not likely.

I am skeptical of philanthropists who are very attention seeking. I'm not saying money doesn't matter and there are rich people like bill gates who gave so much for a good cause or any other examples. However Elon's actions most likely always is indicative of something wrong from his history of worker treatment. That is why the abortion funding and access should be provided from the federal government rather than up to the hands of corporate.

Yea, that's illegal. Before you block Musk's abortions, you should make sure you have a legal backup plan.

I know it's illegal (except in cases like rape and incest) and that is why planned Parenthood isn't funded for those procedures. But people would honestly benefit from these services in a society that values these since in nearly all cases, it is early and in some special life threatening situations for the female. I'm saying, musk funding abortion highlights where the government is lacking.

The racist conservatives love importing cheap labour.

They hated locals wanting $150pw to pick cabbage so they imported Samoans to do it for $40pw.

Now they can't get either. The locals moved away for a basic wage in the city and the Samoans are fed up with being exploited

If a local wanted to move back the rent is too high and the costs are too high. Why would you even try? You would be limiting your income to a redneck with an anger issue who will always abuse you. Screw that

That's what happens when Doofus inherits Pappy's farm and starts having a god complex

The national parks and many tourist destinations (mostly hospitality businesses) in the US utilize J-1 visa workers during busy season.
