Let’s see how the Florida’s harder stance on immigration is going after a couple years:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/florida-immigration-law-significant-unintended-consequences/

“Rogelio Rauda, an undocumented worker from Honduras doing construction in Crystal River, Florida, says only eight workers he knows came to the disaster zone out of the hundreds he says typically show up.”

https://www.npr.org/2024/04/26/1242236604/florida-economy-immigration-businesses-workers-undocumented

“Hetrick says what Florida is facing is symbolic of the larger reality in the country — where there is an aging population and politicians framing immigration as a threat rather than fixing a broken system.”

Yep

Isn’t that why Musk paid his way in? He’s going to push his Optimus robots to do this work and he’ll make all his money back that he lost on Twitter.

You mean those laughable robots unworthy of the name that are 20 years behind Boston dynamics and still require an operator to actually do anything at all?

Yeah, that is going to happen just as much as the hyper loop is going to happen. And the missions to Mars. And the full self driving.

Musk is full of shit, always has been. He’s a scammer who got incredibly lucky and from there on just floated up on his bullshit that Musk boys lapped up like honey.

Yes, those are the ones I’m referring to. I agree they suck and are years behind Boston Dynamics. With that said, a lot of things are happening that I didn’t think would happen so I stand by my prediction.

Oh don’t worry, Trump has a plan to remove minimum wage, so Americans can work the fields. That combined with anti homeless supreme Court rulings means your ass will work the fields for $2 an hour or for free from prison.

I’m fairly certain Trump intends to arrest all the illegal looking folk that he can and then use them as prison labor for all the jobs that they used get paid for.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
