Doesn't matter here. The examples cited here are Starbucks and Ulta Beauty, neither of which are big on hiring illegal or foreign workers.

Because the "talent" in this case is a commodity. Most of the low-wage corporation's employees tend to be front-of-house customer facing staff or brown-collar labor, which in most cases does not require any special skill set,

Also the factory that produces the $2000 luxury dress is often the same one producing the $2 Temu version. The former has a specific yarn, strict QC, lifecycle audits, the works. The latter uses the cheapest available yarn, no QC and crappy

I don't see much protection of pilgrims en route to Jerusalem happening here. On the contrary, it seems to be mostly cutting birthday cakes and playing dress up. These guys might as well join a drag party for the same kind of fun.

The USA invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, both of which don't have the faintest connection to the US mainland in any form, either culturally or otherwise. The US has also launched bombing runs in Syria and Libya, again both of which have t

China doesn't produce plastic as is. They produce plastic products, after buying the plastic from oil producers. The largest plastic raw materials producer is SABIC, a Saudi company. There are currently no viable alternatives for human

China is de-oiling at a rapid pace and wants to lead the world in renewables infrastructure production. Which will mean eventually butting heads with the oil producers (which also includes the US). China is also getting cheap Russian oil, a

Pointing to consumer or raw material inflation in the context of defence is a bit of a strawman argument. Defence deals are made for products that are supposed to often last 30-40 years at minimum. All factors such as inflation and potentia
