which is unions
ehhh, the competitivity is being strangled by many factors
Unhappy laborers can now find a new job within hours, move anywhere they wish at the drop of a dime.
Market is too unstable, and jobs change so quickly, having a union sounds like a waste of yime
'creative destruction'
At least from what I've observed
and the death of dollar voting
No, the worker mobility creates more uniformity around wages and compensation.
Not the unions.
you misunderstand the term
that does break down when you introduce foreign elements the way most of the west has
lol rand was a retard
outside investment, outsourcing and immigration hurt healthy productivity
'creative destruction' has less to do with worker livelihood as it does those elements that enable the productive worker and company that make a place a desirable community to live in
all of which are happening in spades
Immigration, sure, but we value our time more than an $8/hr wage for mowing lawns in the middle of 110 degree weather and 100% humidity.
mom and pop owned and operated stores are far better for a community and the economy long term than some mega superstore
lol 100% humidity
but the superstore has the leverage of mass
Immigrants rarely have the labor skills required to secure themselves the labor descriptors we all pursue, honestly.
Lol.
that drives out the stores that used to anchor communities
I also used to work in that industry.
Let the fucking immigrants have it. I don't give a shit.
which industry?
keep in mind there are places in the world that do have worse job markets than america
Mostly manual labor, excluding skilled manual labor.
aus is pretty shite and uk is even worse
Absolutely, Kealor.
yes, but it is about the ratio of job market earnings vs cost of living
that is what people miss
our standard of living is also 25-30% higher than those same places with work job prospects
most cost of living estimates ive seen/experienced are higher than they should be
you might have more money in your pocket, but you can buy LESS than you could with less money yesterday
not that that makes the metric bad, just hard to measure
hard for you to measure over the short course of your lifespan
Money wont make you happy
more datapoints, easier to measure
Buying escorts will though
yes, but if you have NO money, you will have a hard time thinking of anything else
