Sounds like he wants more child labor and thinks little of workers in general
“When we say Donald Trump is a scab, this is what we mean,” UAW President Shawn Fain said in a press release. “When we say Trump stands against everything our union stands for, this is what we mean.”
Of course they do.
Look, womens lib in the 60s was a fucking GODSEND to the owner class. Seemingly overnight the workforce doubled in size and productivity exploded! If you Google a picture of pay v productivity, wealth inequality, and size of the workforce you’ll notice that they all deviate in the late 60s early 70s; roughly 68-71.
Basic economics, supply and demand. The supply of workers just ballooned, but the demand for it, oh no, all the owners had to do was not build that last factory that would’ve allowed full employment. Extra workers keeps wages down. Immigration keeps wages down, same unadulterated logic, irregardless of the whatever the Democrats or CNN spit at you. "it’s an overall benefit for society to have a ton of immigration…cuz it keeps wages down and all the money flowing to the top. Shut down immigration and businesses would have to compete for talent again (but we don’t have capitalists anymore, the owners would rather collude than compete. Today’s rich are aspiring techno-feudal royalty, by Divine Right of the Invisible Hand). If immigration is a net positive for “society”, if only high society; then no immigration, = money flows into calloused hands. We’re all stretched so thin already, getting parity back against capital would spur the greatest economy ever seen. 200million people with extra money after bills?
ah so few make this connection. =) 👋 nice to meet you.
