No immigrant has taken your job. You were laid off by a capitalist who required cheap labor and took advantage of that immigrant to increase his profits, and nothing makes him happier than to hear you blame the immigrant and not him.
Last night I told my elderly neighbor, who has lived here for 40yrs, that I was having a yard hang and he should call if music was too loud. He waved me off; it suddenly occurred to me I should invite him. By 8pm he was eating an ice cream bar chatting w/ my friends by fire pit.
Friends who plug you when they hear about an opportunity that would suit you, friends who recommend you, friends who support you, friends who uplift you, friends who are proud of you... those are real friends.
Consider your future self in everything you do. Practice asking yourself “Is this a good thing I’m doing or am I gonna have to heal doing that later on?” Choose what will make life easier for you.
I don’t tell none of my friends when to leave their man. People know when they had enough. I will tell you when I’m tired of hearing about that shit though.
