This is my problem with this whole debate. Yes I acknowledge that young people face serious challenges starting out in the workforce. Yes I agree that we are importing foreigners to take American jobs and that is hideously evil and unfair.
Once we’ve agreed on that, what then? What is a young adult supposed to actually do tomorrow? What is your plan? Complaining about it incessantly on Twitter is not a plan. Calling for policy solutions is fine and I agree that we should work on those. But what about tomorrow? What is the demoralized young person supposed to actually do in his life tomorrow?
I say that he must get up in spite of it all, get the best job he possibly can, and work as hard he can to achieve what he can. He has a difficult road. Far from the most difficult compared to the vast majority of humans who have ever lived on Earth, but difficult. I acknowledge that. But he still has to get up and walk. What else would we have him do?
Listen Matt, this is very simple. You don't need to tell young white men to get up and walk. People learn how to do that by age 2. You need to start fighting to abolish the H-1B visa program.
Yes, you're one of the few Con Inc influencers who says H-1Bs should be stopped. But strangely enough, you spend your time defending the ones who think it's amazing? Why?
Get to work ending the H-1B, or shut up.
Same reason why doubling the workforce by normalizing women working full time tanked wages...which was a big reason for the push to begin with.
I have nothing against women working, but normalizing it (while not changing that men were also still required to work) inevitably meant single-income households were largely destroyed. It would be nearly impossible for that not to be the outcome.
Creation of do-nothing HR/bloat jobs, substandard work, maternity leave, period leave, simps, and/or workplace drama weren't enough for you?
I should have qualified my statement: If fully qualified. There are plenty of jobs or fields that I think women shouldn't work, absolutely. But others they're completely qualified or suited for.
"I have nothing against women working" should not be taken as a blanket statement.
Even worse, because men were forced to compete against women for wages, and women simply do not need to earn as much to live because they aren't ever expected to provide for anyone but themselves.
So women not only compete for the jobs, but once they get them, they drive wages down further because they can survive on less money than men.
(And, to add yet another layer of evil to it, we have feminism pushing the wage gap myth for generations.)
