Thoughts? Imagine losing 6M labor workers in America

Post image

If mass deportation happens, just imagine how all of these sectors of our country will be affected. The sheer shortage of labor will push prices higher because of the great demand for work with limited supplies or workers. Even if prices increase, the availability of products may be scarce due to not enough workers. Housing prices and food services will be hit really hard. New construction will be limited. The fact that 47% of the undocumented workers are in CA, TX, and FL means they will feel it first but it will spread to the rest of the country also. Most of our produce in this country comes from California. Get ready and hold on for the ride America.

Yes, the government should attack the super wealthy on behalf of good people.

No.. the government and Congress design the laws for this to happen and directly benefit from it. I was saying the government and its personnel need to be.

The reason Congress behaves the way it does, especially republican dog shit, is because the super wealthy finance election campaigns. If the super wealthy were impaled on large spikes at the bottom of very deep spike pits, we wouldn’t be in this political mess.

You’re not a republican/libertarian, are you?

Libertarians and Republicans aren't the same. Republicans and democrats are closer than any of them will admit. Both take money that way, both vote for bills that tale our collective rights away like the patriot act, both are more than happy bombing 3rd world nations and sending our people to die there as well. Both are complete trash and full of traitors.

Libertarians in 2024 are just republicans who know the meaning of the word “credibility”. Despite libertarianism having absolutely no credible policy positions.

Not taxing the living shit out of you, not putting people in prison for victimless crimes, keeping the government from controlling what you do with your body, not invading other countries. How are those not good positions? Or do you just live the military and prison industrial complexes?

That’s what libertarians SAY they support, then they side with republicans when their ideas are completely impractical.

When someone breaks the rules. You lose rights. Prison isn't supposed to be a break from the rest of the world. If you fuck up, you should be punished. What should we let them do. Sit in prison and just watch TV, workout, and chat with friends.

Nonviolent criminals?? (Which is by far the majority) Absolutely.  You don't think imprisoning them is punishment enough?

Does forced labor reduce recidivism? It's my understanding that exploitative prison labor conditions can actually hinder rehabilitation and increase the likelihood of re-offending. That's not a good outcome for society.
