These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,... whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

The goal is to make the middle class disappear and blame someone else for it. The US wants a wealthy upper class and a permanent lower working class. This is why Republicans never act on immigration, legal or otherwise, because it's the best way to lower wages, it's a huge point to campaign on, and many republicans benefit from immigrant H1-Bs and "none skilled" labor.

Many companies lobby to increase number of h1b visas because it's cheap labor that can't go job hunting. Basically indentured servitude with more steps. They want cheap labor vs Americans demanding better wages
