I've been in telecom for most of my career, often dealing with apps and test phones so I've run the gamut of the cheapest to the greatest most expensive phones as test devices and personal devices over the course of the last couple of decades.

Simple advice that people who need it don't want to hear: for years now it's been possible to get a really, really usable phone for $30 (used to be $20). I'm not talking about a flip phone, I mean somehting running a reasinable enough android version with reasonable enough specs to run whatever bullshit apps you think you need and be a functional part of society with for as much as a phone with internet access and a camera to read QR codes seems to be increasingly required.

There is zero reason to spend more without 1.) the means to do so and 2.) a good reason why that basic phone won't do what you need it to. If 1.) is big enough you get to just buy shit you don't need because you want to. That's how this has always worked. But increasingly it's people without enough money buying much too expensive phones that have capabilities they will never use and financing them to boot.

So you know them in the same way that you also know thousands of baseball fans because you want to a baseball game? You don't know anything about me, but you are telling me everything I need to know about you to determine you are reaching and now backpedaling after making a foolish post.

When a significant portion of your labour is a near-slave class of recent immigrants doing jobs natural born citizens won't without more pay, and you start chasing immigrants out of your country... that's a cause with an effect.

/quote> And if either "side" wanted to actually do a good job of this they would simply addre4ss the demand by severly prosecuting the EMPLOYERS hiring these people. Not by building walls like we're in medieval times. But going after the employers would be going after the people payiung the bills thanks to citizens united.

Seems like a problem you could fix overnight with guaranteed national minimum wage, worker's employment rights, and opening up immigration to regain the trust of those people you shot, killed, kidnapped and ripped their children away from.

Who the fuck would CHOOSE to go work in the US at the moment?

This is an insane assertion and just more black and white thinking. As to who would go to work in the US right now - lots of people from all over the world. I work with many of them and they are happy to have the opportunity. To touch some grass - your news and social media echo chamber has rotted your brain. I'm not saying everything is just fine here - far from it - but your statements are entirely uneducated and untethered from reality. But I bet it made you feel good to type that out.
