Loading ...You have a clear memory of the past.
I have a feeling things were going on in between the lines during that time.
For instance pressure on wages in the 70s at the same time they’re was probably already talk of outsourcing.
During that time there was a big surge of South America’s illegals crossing the border and taking up a lot of factory, hotel, restaurant, mechanic “which they were terrible at and probably why you don’t see them much in that anymore,” and construction with excuse it kept cost down but not for the buyer.
At the same time certain states were making it easy for them to sign up for welfare to supplement them and not have to recognize their husbands when getting money, food stamps and free medical Americans couldn’t get unless they stopped working.
Many start up family’s had to live amongst them which created problems since they stole anything nailed down or not, started gangs, drugs, hit and runs all over the place and still are, swamping public schools, fighting with American kids especially boys.
That was their new replacement.
There was good people who came who didn’t like it either but even so many were still on the tax payer dole. That also cause housing cost to rise.
They made the same excuse for outsourcing later was a con ,how can you justify that with the costs of new cars when they were a lot more affordable when made in America.
So 35 dollars and hour will make these problems worse once it gets around. The borders will be flooded again. We have politicians that will let them for votes as we know.
Also if that is what you pay for unskilled Labor how much are you going to have to pay skilled labor?
How much is it going to cost you to go to the doctor, hospital or dentist? Medicare hasn’t raised their coverage since who knows when.
I remember a time they were cutting medicine coverage including for pain like Tylenol with codeine so we were ordering it up for the patients and luckily it was fought. That was back in the early 80s.
Restaurants and other social activities activities will disappear or cost you 50 to go to breakfast.
How much for housing which these greedy vulture corporations will raise the rents accordingly.
The only group I don’t feel sorry for in these current events as well as over priced cars.
If kids can go out and make 35 dollars a hour doing any kind of job why would they want to go to college?
What they need to do is stop debasing the value of the dollar, stop raising taxes, stop supporting foreign nationals less supplying a service citizens don’t “ really” want such as farm workers, here and overseas.
Trump has addressed a lot of that but we still have issues within since still going on like corporate medicine also slave driving doctors, housing, cars and greed.
