What's new

JD Vance

Why does the government need to force the minimum wage to increase when the market can drive up the wages on its own. A gluttony of low skilled labor comes into a town, that will force the wages to stay at minimum wage. Now, you want the government to increase the wages with force because of the original issue which the government created kept the wages low?
But this isn't how the market works at all. Nor did the government create the initial issue.

For one, the market may not simply drive wages up, but rather force those companies to leave. In a globalized economy, those factories and plants don't need to be in Springfield. They don't even need to be in the US, and Canada is just a couple of hundred kilometres from Springfield. Not just any Canada either, but the part with all the people.

And again, the government didn't create this. You could argue the companies in question did by hiring cheaper labour, but labour follows jobs. If the factories were opened elsewhere, the immigrants would go to those places.

Remember that the reason these companies moved into Springfield was that the local government was desperately trying to attract them and revitalized the place. This is a city that's been steadily losing population over the past 50 years. I'm sure the companies were offered something by the city to move to that area, but then if that didn't happen, there would still be no jobs for the locals.

I get that you think the ideal situation would have been for all these companies to come into Springfield, only hire locals at high wages, and do all this out of the goodness of their hearts, but it's not realistic. Huge swathes of the country are demographically and economically dying, and people are upset about anything that even remotely helps improve that.

I mean, what are you suggesting should've been done here since you didn't want Haitians in? How can Springfield gain jobs and population and expanding its tax base without this?

JD on CNN's State of The Union yesterday:

“The American media totally ignored this stuff until Donald Trump and I started talking about cat memes. If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do, Dana, because you guys are completely letting Kamala Harris coast.”
 
He has stated that he thinks that there are risks associated with the COVID-19 vaccine and that for certain people the risk may outweigh the benefit of taking it. For instance 19 year old athletes in good overall health probably shouldn't take it.

lol thank you I have never understood how what i said is such a hard concept to grasp whether you agree or disagree. Although reading comprehension is an issue for certain mouth breathers here.
 
ahhhh Thriller You intellectual and moral coward.

"During covid he was one of the chief disinformation gas bags on this website. I think he went through the entire gambit of quack treatments. Basically anything unsupported by science by crapped out by weirdo online influencers he became a proponent of. Posters like that shouldn't be insulting the intelligence of others, especially their superiors"


please provide one post related to any of this BS to support your hysterical lies

or apologise

or even better just STFU you utterly contemptible clown

It should be repeated that lying about a group of people you hate as an excuse to politicize something you think will help you, isn’t good.

What’s JD Vance doing right now to improve the lives of people in Ohio? He’s a senator right now. What has he done since winning election to improve the lives of those in Springfield?

odd way to spin getting caught out talking rubbish

We've gone the rounds on this. I don't 100% agree with you on it, but I did listen to what you said and I did think about it.
 
It’s 1 issue right now. Pausing immigration to clean up our federal house. Trump and Vance are closer to that than Kamala and Tim.

We can not keep letting in everyone from everywhere. It will never allow our country to get its **** together.

Basic Example:
America has 10 domestic jobless workers that need help and assistance. America has enough resources for 10 workers. 3 jobs become available, which is a competitive market for the business and workers. All 3 businesses want the best from those 10 workers so they increase their offerings to attract them.
Well America decides to let in 6 more foreign workers that all need assistance. But America only has resources for 10 total workers. So they now have to spread the resources over 13 total people resulting is less assistance for all, yet we helped more overall people.
The businesses look to hire those 3 jobs now have more applicants that give them a better chance at getting the 3 of the best workers, so they don’t have to increase their wage offerings.
This continues and continues and then we are in a mess like we are now. Poor infrastructure, low wages, government assistance helping foreign workers over local workers, debt, out of control spending, social class hatred, less opportunities ect.

Pause immigration get the house in order.

Except Trump would pause immigration then give another tax cut for the rich. He's not into helping anyone but his ilk.
