A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
My dad paid 140k to buy a lot and build a house about 25-30 years ago. It's back up for sale...$475k. in that time, minimum wage went from $5.15 an hour to $7.25 in that save time frame.
People are still working 40+ hour weeks, and healthcare is somehow costs MORE, along with everything else.
I don't fucking think immigrants had anything to do with any of that.
The role immigrants play is involuntary, so blaming them is asinine. But they do fit in the equation. An average American has little to no financial security (by design), leaving many in a constant state of desperation. If anything, immigrants are even more desperate to make a living away from whatever situation they were trying to get away from, thus willing to accept even lower pay. But on top of that, many are manipulated into a situation where they are trapped in an "illegal" status and forced to accept sub-minimum wages or get deported.
Make no mistake, the vast majority of immigrants arrive here legally, but are then victimized by our capitalist class. And in the end, they get blamed for the situation. Fuck that.
The class divide all over the world needs to be destroyed. But that will require solidarity amongst the worldwide working class who have been brainwashed into a completely illogical fear of their peers, just because of an imaginary line drawn by sociopathic fuckwit pedophiles, who do not, and never have, deserved anything even resembling respect.
Those who made Usury mainstream now control the western world and bomb people who still don't do Usury.

Wiggling another jenga block out of the tower.
Payday loans making a come back.
