The history of the United States largely revolves around subverting workers.
Are you seriously doubting that large corporations want to drive wages down?
Let's not forget that that Silicon Valley was the epicenter of the largest wage fixing cartel in modern history.
Of course there is a plot to drive wages down.
- nkrisc 10y agoExactly, I agree, which is why I'm puzzled that anyone think Trump and his administration of people who became obscenely wealthy from controlling those very corporations would do anything otherwise, while accusing Obama of being the one trying to drive down wages.
- ConfuciusSay02 10y agoOn the second point, it's easy to see why people are critical of Obama - since he did nothing on this front during his 8 years. As for Trump, at the very least he has talked about H1B reform, and if he does reform it, then who cares what is background is? What you imagine Trump to be, or any other such talk is very cheap. Actions are what matter.
- nkrisc 10y agoAgreed that actions are what matter, and when those happen we can really judge. I'll remain skeptical in the mean time, however.
