@Midnight_JJ0@Calmstrategy1@BasedIllinoisan Cool, now talk about how companies used to hire private police forces to kill union workers and prevent strikes. Yknow, because god forbid workers actually wishes to be paid in real currency and not company-money.
@Midnight_JJ0@Calmstrategy1@BasedIllinoisan Slight correction, it was between the 50s and 60s. Point still remains that manufacturing and productivity boomed in these times and that correlated to the increased unionization in manufacturing.
@Midnight_JJ0@Calmstrategy1@BasedIllinoisan Also , “inherently violent institutions”…
“Oh no the workers are organizing against their immoral bosses who control the industries, so scawy and violent”. lol, lmao even.
@Midnight_JJ0@Calmstrategy1@BasedIllinoisan “Artificially raise wages” nope, if anything they prevent wages from stagnating as costs continue to go up. Would you prefer skilled trades get paid half of what they do because their labors cost is artificially inflated??
@whodat8080@viasouthside “Tougher on crime”: the crime that’s been dropping since the 90s and has seen sharper declines in the past 3 years? As for the police, what do you believe the CPD should be doing that they haven’t been doing already? More policing doesn’t actually help with crime reduction.
@whodat8080@viasouthside “Less tax money going to illegals”. You mean the undocumented who work and pay taxes and could contribute even more if we fixed the immigration system? As for drug addicts, what money are they getting that you are opposed to?
@Libs_OfChicago “Celebtratjg the theft of wages from working class families”.
My brother in Christ you are a conservative. A republican controlled Illinois/Chicago could strip labor laws and allow actual wage theft and you would give two shits about it.
You have no values or solutions.
@whodat8080@viasouthside I would LOVE to hear the argument for how conservatism/republican leadership would somehow be a benefit to Chicago/Cook County.
@TheShtuff@RealEnfuegoMMA@Chronotraction@Tronicssystem Any country would collapse if billions of migrants came in. Unfortunately for you, there is no influx in the billions.
It’s quite a stretch to consider someone a traitor for wanting to see those who come to us for better lives succeed.
@RealEnfuegoMMA@TheShtuff@Chronotraction@Tronicssystem I mean, I pay for my heart to feel good, and by feel good. I mean drinking 400mg of caffeine before it hits 7AM….
You wanna ask that question a bit more grammatically correct this time???
@TheShtuff@RealEnfuegoMMA@Chronotraction@Tronicssystem Yes, it’s good with me to give those who are less fortunate than us from other nations an oppurtunity to live a good life, even when their home countries issues potentially stem from the U.S .
Americans are a mish-mash of foreigners.
@RealEnfuegoMMA@TheShtuff@Chronotraction@Tronicssystem Yes, because allowing a steady flow of firearms into Mexico and the criminalization of certain drugs totally hasn’t given strength to the Cartels over the years….
@TheShtuff@RealEnfuegoMMA@Chronotraction@Tronicssystem It isn’t wanting retribution to want to aid those who are fleeing harsh conditions and come here to seek better oppurtunities, even when it isn’t “the right way”.
And as an American, who exactly are “my own people” to you? This is a nation built up by those of every background.
@TheShtuff@RealEnfuegoMMA@Chronotraction@Tronicssystem Ah yes, because the U.S and especially the CIA had totally nothing to do with overthrowing governments and installing dictators across central and South America.
Our country wouldn’t prioritize its citizens even without the presence of undocumented migrants.
@RealEnfuegoMMA@Chronotraction@Tronicssystem Because The U.S has directly destabilized dozens of nations in the Americas resulting in the people from those countries fleeing. The migrant crisis is due, in part, to our governments own incompetence.
