@90aca61c I don't begrudge anyone who takes all the risk and runs their own business. It's hard. It's harder than it needs to be with all of this worthless regulation.
However, when, Disney, for example, pays their employees minimum wage, owns all of the government housing within 50 miles and has our tax dollars paying to feed their employees and paying Disney to house them, I don't have any sympathy for the "Magic Kingdom" and I hope they go bankrupt.
Do better.
@7502a322 ya and thatβs what should happen. Donβt work for Disney. And Disney will either fold or get a clue or maybe even get a clue but be too late and still fold.
@7502a322 and that will send shockwaves and corporations will realize they need to provide more. But whatβs interesting about that is that it will cause prices to go up yet again and wages will have to go up yet again.
@90aca61c but you're ignoring all of the cost increases because of the illegals.
* dozens of hospitals and clinics in California and Texas bankrupted due to illegal alien nonpayment β those savings were passed on to the rest of the country in the form of higher medical and health insurance payments
* illegals contribute to uninsured motorist claims, often fleeing the country after accidents, contributing to rising cost of auto insurance
* plus, increases in violent crime, drugs, etc.
@7502a322 valid points. Iβm not ignoring those points though. I really want the flood of illegals to stop. Iβm just saying we have other issues that are contributing more to other things.
@90aca61c for sure, I'm not disagreeing with your other points, but the illegals have gotten to the point where the tub is overflowing and running across the floor.
"Let's turn off the water first" β NO, start bailing! Bail faster!
@7502a322 ya. There are so many ridiculous things occurring that obviously could be addressed better that it is hard to know what are the leading factors.
I see the masses (mostly members of the progressive uniparty) behaving like narcissists that cannot admit they ever do anything wrong and I see that as the most dangerous thing for our kidsβ future. Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler, etc all suffered from that same affliction and the people that bought into it all went to a point of no return.
@90aca61c I can do that because I have an education and skills that are in demand and I have some money saved back for a rainy day so, I can move, if I have to.
Many people with a high school education growing up in the swamps of middle Florida are barely getting by and Disney is the largest employer in Florida.
I know, do better in school, get a scholarship and get out of there, right? But what do you do with the rest of them? Eugenics?
@7502a322 haha.
Actually I donβt have a college degree, didnβt get any scholarships and I did fine just because my dad instilled in me a joy for a good work ethic and not much fear of being a little poor sometimes. But to your last point, haha, he also gave me good genes that made me smarter than the average bear. π€·ββοΈ
