Ezekiel 25:17

The people crossing the border to get here are part of the problem The middle class is crumbling but that's not to say America still doesn't have inherent value, especially to someone from a 3rd world country. But part of the reason these employers don't wanna pay nikkas is because they have hordes of immigrants that'll do the work for pennies on the dollar
I'll take your word for it on the construction trades availability, and I've heard the same thing from friends of mine. My point still stands even in consideration of yours because construction is still one sector among hundreds. I also wonder how much of that is knowledge based. How many nikkas know about the availability of those jobs? Not asking you personally but I am curious
I'm actually disgusted at the idea of UBI I think if you have a healthy amount of jobs that pay a livable wage , UBI is unnecessary, but nikkas don't wanna pay while prices keep rising so
-If a grown man doesn't know about job availability within different sectors, what exactly is he doing all day?
-It's up to people to demand higher pay. Do they look at the listed salary range? What salary do they ask for? Do they negotiate salary? If current job isn't paying enough, what is stopping them from searching elsewhere for higher pay?
-If rent is too high what's stopping people from getting a roommate? What's stopping couples from moving in together?
Some people start off poor and end up doing good later down the line, what is stopping others?
