That is absolutely the plan. And if it weren’t for human-trafficked labor, we would have reached low points like this a long time ago. There are plenty more humans to traffic in the world, and the ruling elite has no problem starving them away from their families and communities then congratulating themselves as though they have done a good deed.
- A4ET8a8uTh0 4y agoI was recently listening to population growth lecture from 90s Yale and among few things that really struck me was a phrase that said something to the effect of 'while the locals may object over their personal interests, we, the elite, may see it through a more wide economic lens'. It was fascinating and it helped me understand the deeply ingrained distrust in US population of the educated 'elite'. I always thought thought it was largely uninformed bias, as I keep listening to old Yale lectures, I learn that US populace is a lot smarter than most give it credit.

Immigration is not the problem' politicians selling the populace out for profits to corporations is a much bigger issue.

It is hard to predict with a dose of certainty that X would happen as people could very easily reverse the predicted trend. It may not be THE problem, but dismissing it as just one of the culture wars items is in itself counter-productive ( if only, because perception is reality and people do vote based on their belief systems ). I do not disagree with you on the clear focus of US on the true beneficiary of this system ( corporations ).

- analognoise 4y agoDual income was absolutely a trap and we fell for it by covering it with shiny messages of empowerment.
- rdtwo 4y agoThey never tell you who is actually being empowered and that’s your employer
