"He's also one of the few people here that I can disagree with and still hold somewhat of a discussion with."
Jesus Christ, none of you can even climb up to a point where we can actually disagree with something.
All I said was I will give proper direction to kids who are trying to make it in this environment. That's it.
That is NOT a defense for a low minimum wage nor expensive rent, etc. It's NOT a condemnation for being in that situation.
All you can deflect with is it's the billionaires and they've brainwashed me somehow.
WTF is wrong you morons? Don't tell me I've fallen victim to propaganda. You 100% know that's not true.
It's not possible any of you even for a second think I've fallen victim for such absurdity.
raising the minimum wage to a "living wage" is 100% politically unrealistic. Is it mean to simply acknowledge that?
Is it irresponsible to give such advice to youngsters who are trying to succeed?
Move forward. Yes, advocate for what's realisitc and can help those who need it.
we went off the rails and started crazy things that screwed over that minimum skilled man.
like civil rights, the ERA, etc....you know.....things that leveled the playing field. Then we asked that minimum skilled man to compete with men from other countries for the same job.
And now that same minimum skilled man can't care for his family on minimum wage.

This sure sounds like stuff you heard Trump (or some other racist blowhard) say, owing to your lack of education and critical thinking skills you believed my believed it, and finally put it into your own words.
But it's all lies.
Immigration doesn't drive down wages.
Civil Rights didn't drive down wages.
The ERA didn't do anything because it's never been enacted.
ARONCZYK: Immigrants are not bananas. They buy stuff. They start businesses. They do all kinds of things that help shape the economy. Now, this Mariel boatlift paper was written about one place at one time, but since David Card wrote it, variations on this experiment have been done repeatedly. And over and over again, economists have found the same thing - in the long run, immigrants do not really make unemployment go up or wages go down. More often than not, there is no detectable effect.
