Wages are higher than normal right now. That's probably because of Trumps kick ass tax cut- oh shit, Biden is president now. Must be crazy inflation he unleashed on the country with his bill that hasn't passed yet.

Wages went up under Trump pre-COVID

And if a company wants to outsource their labor to people from India who barely speak any English, they’ll probably get a reputation for shitty customer service like other companies who try to outsource do

“ Over the past 40 years, the inflation-adjusted growth trend for the U.S. median weekly wage has been $4.05 per quarter. During the first three years of the Trump administration, it was a staggering $6.90 per quarter”

You guys ever notice how the same policy paths Trump took are the same Biden is taking on just about everything? The rhetoric is far different than any actions I've seen. But even then, Biden was the most Trump-like Democrat in the field as far as personality and tone goes.

I was reading this think tank write up on Chinese trade policy:
https://carnegieendowment.org/2021/0...-war-pub-85352

Basically Biden is doing the same god damn shit on China. Part of the shipping crisis is that China has severely cut its consumption of western goods. Which means we are sending empty vessels back to China to fill up with more goods -- rather than shipping both ways. This obviously is a big hit to profits for the shipping industry.

Is any of this going to result in our country being better situated in real or relative economic gain? That's honestly all I give a shit about in the end. Unless you can sell me on the idea we could take some small economic hit so that workers would get paid far more -- but I have never seen any argument suggesting any course like that. In fact, we tend to call that stagflation.

Thats the thing about war. once you in it, you in it. Remember that whole, trade war with china thing? lol the prices have already gone up for 4 years +. No way they are coming down now.

Even the far left isn't gonna give 15 dollars an hour to Mcdonalds workers in New Mexico.

Never gonna happen unless inflation drives up the cost of a burger to 12-15 dollars.

Well I mean, I’m expecting to have to pay ~$10 to eat lunch out nowadays…

I remember back when it was like $6. Felt like just a few years ago

That would be a death trip for sure. The USA generally does not attack nuclear nations. Like, ever.
