Not to say white people don't do it as well. But that's in order to now compete with the Mexicans! A good portion of the trades people up here in this small town live in their vehicles. It's ludicrous. Or maybe living out of vans is the way of the future and we should just get used to it? -

The future is grim. -
2020-08-15 at 1:25 AM UTCAnyone who thinks that increased labour supply doesn't lead to lower wages is at odds with the mainstream of economic thought.
Companies and governments want increased labour supply as it keeps wages lower.
If people believe that increased supply of a good or service results in an increased price of that good or service, they are in a whole new area of microeconomics, analogous to Veblen goods, and they need to supply a good explanation of the phenomenon so they can claim their nobel prize in economics. -

1. Your anecdote enhancemented through your shitty lens doesn't equal data.
2. Someone is willing to be more productive and efficient than you, you are a lazy nigger, stop crying. All you want is to be paid more for doing nothing more.
3. There is literally zero dispute that whatever you've been supposedly lost out on because of immigrants, you've gained many orders of magnitude more than that in purchasing power due to market growth.
4. You can defeat this with a price control AKA a minimum wage raise, and make this whole point moot as they literally cannot go lower past a certain point. Which the Republicans have done more to suppress.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Classic example ^ of a retarded pseud who has never once studied economics. You can tell he didn't even take a 101 course in a college setting, or failed it.
Only mongoloids with subnormal brain function would say this who never read/understand/remember the CONSTANT reminder of "ceteris paribus" in Econ 101 courses whenever they explained simple supply curves, which is supposed to remind you that everything being explained is just a series of toy models that are being used to explain isolated concepts and NONE of which apply in real markets, because no, you can't hold everything else constant.
But actually learning to model markets would take hard work and study. So just substitute actual knowledge with parroting some retarded alt right YouTuber's less-than-101 take on economy. -

I wonder how much the ice shrunk 1000 years ago when the global warming was worse than today despite no climate-warming emissions from us.
surely it must have been worse, yet the ice returned anyway. i think greenland will be fine. when the whole planet becomes like greenland, you wont be bitching about CO2 anymore, i guarantee you that. -

Thread isn't about the earth being ok thousands of years from now, it is about civilization collapsing.
