feels like USA has never really evolved past having a underclass (slavery, indentured, financially desperate, illegal workers) and there are *so many policies* that seem designed to maintain that desperation. we gotta find another way

it’s an option i guess but a bad one unless you really open it up to entrepreneurs and students. immigration isn’t the only reason for suppressed wages / salaries, and bigger than that is inflation in university / college, housing policy, and medical costs.

let’s look at “essential workers” there’s no way during a pandemic that the market clearing price for dangerous frontline work would be so suppressed were it not for people being in such a. desperate circumstance. paying such people more would likely stimulate the economy

I don't think in a modern industrial society cost of basics is so large that it's impossible to take care of them. A lot of what is happening in the USA is around engineered scarcity; particularly around healthcare, secondarily around education / housing. math doesn't break down
