[quote=flu][quote=scaredyclassic]Hilarious. The level of hypocrisy is just, well, very high.[/quote]
The sad part is that even with this obvious level of hypocrisy, and despite all the data and real world example that Trump does exactly the opposite of what he says others should do, and what he attacks others about….. His low information/unintelligent followers just completely ignore these facts and continue to make excuses for him.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some of his followers say this story was fabricated by a “liberal media like CNN/money”…Gee, is the way that Trump followers cope with a real fact about Trump to contradicts what he’s preaching? With self-explanations “well, it’s obviously a lie put on by liberal/progressives?” Are people really that dumb that when something so obvious is right in front of them, they’ll still deny deny deny, and think obviously the reporter must be liberal and have an axe to grind?
Never mind, apparently they are. Nothing surprises me anymore about the level of stupidity exhibited by some people in the U.S..
And apparently, there’s a lot of them, which I find in itself pretty scary.[/quote]
Trump is just like other politicians and business people and simply hires non-americans because they are probably less of a hassle with no rights, limited English and “can’t” fight back.
This is like your examples of the H1-B workers when those programs are abused. Can underpay, they can’t leave, can take advantage since no one will bother helping them.
You have a lot of movies or what not showing some American saying, “You can’t do that to me, I’m American!!!”
Well, hiring these people with limited English, limited rights, no knowledge of our laws is just GOOD business sense for less hassles overall for any business.
Unfortunately, I think as a country and a society, in a global democratic economy, we have to decide where is the line we draw vs get profits above all else before the shit hits the fan (I’m thinking in 50 years)…
It makes all the business sense to outsource when you can to save cost and businesses HAVE to outsource actually because everyone else is competing. Look at the textile/clothing industry. American Apparel made all their clothes here and is collapsed.
Places like Zara, HnM outsource to countries like Bangladesh with actual dangerous conditions to work so if you have to compete with that, good luck before you collapse too…
Taxi’s competing with Uber, good luck driving a cab when Uber can cut your price at anytime, but don’t cut their portion of the revenue. After the cabbies all die, Uber can raise prices now.
In this day and age, workers will just get tossed aside with whatever is cheaper. Not now, but eventually, it will result in a backlash when people are desperate enough to not care anymore.
As an immigrant myself, I constantly find many Americans who were born here MUCH MUCH lazier in general since they didn’t have a hard life growing up.
You see it all the time with privileged wealthier kids expecting fancier things just because they “deserve it”…or, I went to work so I need this bag…I really need the newest iphone (I only get free phones)…
Overall, I think it’s just an excess supply of labor everywhere globally (even Japan which I heard was giving out $8/whole month raises at Toyota)…
Hiring people is a pain, hiring American’s, more of a pain, no wonder Trump doesn’t hire Americans when he doesn’t need to.
