It has always baffled me how the petite bourgeo seem to love cheap labor yet were openly racist to deport all the brown people without putting two and two together. Like, they couldnt connect that many immigrants were not competing against white people for jobs, but against other immigrants who didnt have much hope for something better given their circumstances.

    Realized too soon US citizens are lazy

    Put this guy on 16 hour shifts of manual labor and see how "lazy" he is.

    "Just found out a huge portion of my labor is illegal" is such an insane thing to say, I can't imagine how that happens

    Realized too soon US citizens are lazy

    Also crazy and fucked up, it's not that amerikkkans are lazy (though it's probably somewhat true), those immigrants are only willing to do 16 hour shifts because they're desperate

      bro was definitely using illegal discriminatory hiring practices and is now acting surprised that the people that said practices picked up were willing to put up with illegal discrimination.

      porky-happy: “I see, so let’s just make the Americans desperate! They too can be just as tough as those immigrants when pushed to the limit! They should thank us for helping to bring out their potential!”

      I've met people from outside of America who were very surprised at how lazy American aren't. Americans work, a lot, but we expect far more compensation, that's the real issue porky-happy has with domestic labor in America.

    I’m very sorry you are facing this problem. I think you should take a walk in New York City to help clear your head.

    How many 16 hour shifts has this "entrepreneur" worked? If the work's that important why don't they do it themselves the lazy exploitative piece of shit. Death to all petty bourgeoisie.

      Don’t you understand that they have to spend several minutes every day telling other people to do stuff for them? That’s very taxing mental labor, you know.

        They have to assume all the risk! ...by playing Risk on their phones while their indentured wageslaves do all of the actual work

    That’s one thing I could never reconcile, the party of petit bouge making deporting undocumented immigrants a rallying cry when they literally would not survive if they couldn’t underpay their undocumented workforce.

    Which is why I always thought it was bluster, just fuel for the racism engine. I honestly think it’s way more likely they go try to deport legal immigrants and minorities

      Worse conditions for immigrants means the implicit threat of violence against immigrant workers is more effective. They're not trying to deport their own workforce, they're trying to pay them even less

    There’s no way this is real. I could kinda buy it but the 16 hour shift thing is a giveaway lol

    to be honest if I could have 16 hour shifts I would.

    then I could work 2 and a half days a week.

    it was one of my only positive things working at Amazon - when I did 11 hour shifts I got a 3 day weekend.

    plus you cut your commuting hours a lot (unpaid time where you're using energy on work).
