Neither importing labor and approaching the heirarchy of labor with a state of mind that puts the industry, the corporation, the global market, before the nation's people
True. And I'm all for that changing.
The economy in the US (maybe more in the UK because of your tax rates) basically disincentivizes working hard
That's where culture comes in. Even with a skimming glance at history one can see ambition driving western culture up until the mid-twentieth century.
Well yeah but you incentivize it
Then after that economic prosperity and social movements and cultural shifts throughout the 50's-2000's encouraged a lull
My life would not be that much better if I were a multi-millionaire than if I were in my current situation
just a product of the times
How does that factor in into incentification or working hard? Working hard is one of those virtues that's pointless if there is no greater goal behind it, as is prosperity.
Because most things that generate wealth don't make the world better today
When I talk about putting natives first, I'm talking about strengthening the nation (the greater tribe, as it were) as a whole. Strengthening as in greater social cohesion through greater trust and more homogenous communities rather than atomized clusters of people living close to each other in the same place.
In regards to wealth, what good is it if it isn't put into use? Historically speaking, the upper classes used their wealth to build marvels, comission feats of cultural wonder and propel their civilizaiton forward. The nuveau riche we have as millionaries today have no sense of that same responsibility or pride in one's people or land. Unfortunately, there is this culture where the rich or the aspiring to be rich wish to head off to the bahammas and give away all their money to charity, leaving nothing for those at home or their children to inherit.
Hard work is a product of having a purpose, having something to struggle for. And in today's culture where the institutions are pushing for a more globalized society, what they provide to incentivize and give purpose to life is simply temporal bliss and living for the moment and for the self. Take, for example, charity. Many charities today embody nothing more than selfish selflessness: money goes elsewhere and not back into the neighborhood, the county, or the state, or the community, but elsewhere or to a bracket so specified yet general enough that the benefits are barely felt in the local population. Charity is not a one-way interaction, but a two way. In return for giving away wealth and resources, the giver recieves a sense of a higher moral status in his or her community, even though they have--in general--contributed little to the community itself
long gone are the days where wealthy families rewarded the communities that labored for them, and long gone are the old rich who had a connection to those who worked for them. But alas, I am soapboxing. But this is where I am coming from when I speak about reserving local jobs for local workers. It restores integrity and trust in the community, and naturally creates bonds among those living in the community rather than through weak methods like socials and cookouts that I see many communities try to do.
@David "Gaben" Cameron I agree.

These FBI documents concerning Steele were obtained via a FOIA request, are mostly redacted. However a few things are confirmed here. Steele was paid by the FBI for his contributions, but was let go after being “ verbal admonished ” for leaking information to the press. The FBI terminated their relationship with Steele on Nov 1 2016 deeming him untrustworthy. This is important because his Dossier and articles using it, or him, as a source were still used for months afterward to renew a FISA warrant for Surveillance on Trump. Even after they knew Steele was shady.

“ who is ‘designated survivor ‘ at inauguration?”
By CNN
This Jan 18 news segment by CNN details exactly who you would need to kill at the 2017 presidential inauguration in order to keep the Obama administration in power.
Why would they tell their audience this?🤔
https://youtu.be/qxIG4dduqy0
is this news that they dislike Trump?
Not at all. @Deleted User it is however noteworthy that they laid out assassination plans for their audience.
@Deleted User Nice find
Thanks, @Da_Fish . People were talking about it a lot the day it came out, but it’s since been forgotten by most.
