Not if you consider people who are able and available for hard physical work. That is, excluding those who are too old, or at student's age. From the data shown, one should also subtract people with disabilities, etc...

So with labor being scarce, why are wages so low?

I think people should have to show a valid ID to register to vote.  If the ID is in fact valid and good, not fake, the registration is enough.

So that’s a no. Anyone can show up, give the name of a registered voter, and vote. 

Or just dig a mail-in out of the trash.

The notion that the Social Security rolls were in dire need of cleaning up is one of the many, many lies DOGE told about what it was doing, but that's another story.  🙂 

Story is right

on no

It appears to be true that the E-Verify system is too easy to game and needs to be strengthened.  This would have been a good thing for DOGE to do instead of the nonsense it did or pretended to do.  What the U.S. needs is a genuine national ID card, but the recent "Real ID" fiasco probably put paid to that....

Do you think people should have to show ID to vote? 

Getting the Social Security rolls cleaned up is a big part of what DOGE is doing, and that is the first step in strengthening E-Verify. 

One big problem, is that once a facility starts hiring illegal aliens, the supervisors, HR, Inventory and anothat communicated with the employees all have to be bilingual, and once that happens, they quit hiring direct labor that does not speak Spanish.

One of the main issue is that the unemployment rate is rather low, so the construction industry  doesn't expect Americans (US citizens) to be able to fill jobs left by immigrants. 🙂

 

A Martínez: To what extent does the construction industry rely on workers who don't have legal status?

George Carrillo: That number is actually relatively high. We estimate somewhere between 700,000 to 1 million people. What people really need to understand is we have a workforce shortage in this country, period. Now, if you take out about a million Hispanics that are undocumented, it would devastate the construction industry, and not just that. Critical infrastructure, clean drinking water, sewage. Who's going to build our homes? We're about 4.5 million homes behind. All roads lead to construction. If we fail, the broader economy and our way of life dramatically suffers.

But per FRED and the labor force participation rate, about 60% of the workforce is not working. 

And if labor is scarce, why have wages not gone up faster? 

You’re either all in or you’re not.

I submit that someone reading the headline would be much more likely to inject something than someone that actually heard what he said. 

I think the press was being irresponsible.

The video is quite obvious. It was irresponsible. There were people listening and watching who takes what he says as the gospel truth.

 

There were multiple poisonings because of the use of disinfectants such as chlorine dioxide, a bleach type disinfectant.

International Journal of Medicine and Medical Sciences, The chlorine dioxide controversy: A deadly poison or a cure for COVID-19?

Mitchell Brent Liester  Vol.13(2), pp. 13-21 , September 2021

 

In the wake of President Trump suggesting that disinfectants might be injected to treat COVID-19, a number of Americans were hospitalized for ingesting cleaning agents, and at least three people were charged with criminal offenses for selling chlorine-based products as remedies for the disease.

One can argue it was an irresponsible thing to say, but anyone claiming he said to inject bleach or a disinfectant is a liar, or a moron.

It seemed clear to me that what he was saying, and I am called stupid endlessly.

oh no

oh no

Other possibilities in the absence of any history of terrorism or violent crime:

 

Keeping library books past due dates and not paying the fines due,

Walking dogs with out keeping them on a leash and possibly not picking up their dog's waste,

In Omaha both dogs and cats are required to be licensed, need I belabor how these scofflaws in all probability respond to this requirement,

Unpaid parking tickets,

Autos with windows tinted darker than allowable by law,

Taking a number of items in grocery store express checkouts that exceed posted limits,

Bringing outside candy into movie theaters,

Sharing Netflix passwords with family members,

I'm sure you knowledgeable grannies will know of others.

 

No doubt their neighbors in Omaha are relieved that this crime wave is being addressed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You forgot overstating the value of a property on a loan application, and recoding payments to your lawyer as legal expenses.

too funny,

What's your point?  Injecting disinfectant into a human will not "cure"  Covid. Perhaps if they were vaccinated with the glorious Russian Sputnik vaccine.................

He never said inject disinfectant 

These poor immigrants are only raping the girls Brits are too lazy to rape.

It amazes me that MAGA boys comment without verifying their own comments, because the link is a Bloomberg article.

Show again their IQ level

Bloomberg, even more biased than yahoo. 

Has the Trump-hating leftist Michael Bloomberg divested all his dollar holdings in anticipation of the drop in value? No. 

If he believed the article, he would. 

In any event, the article seems to based little more than opinion.

It always amuses me that so many non-Americans are obsessed with Trump. 

What is amazing, it that they think yahoo news has any credibility. 

Has yahoo news divested their dollar holdings? No.
