Comment Re: Why is this treated differently (Score 1) 161

Require? perhaps not exactly. I have to claim to be out of nails, to get many contractors to buy more. Same goes for glue, utility knife blades, Sawzall blades, grinder blades, chalk line chalk, pencils.... Tool wise carpenters must provide a small truckload of their own tools. (yes hourly/not 1099) You couldn't rent my tools, for my hourly wage. Then there's wear and tear. Especially with cordless tools, and their limited battery lifespan. Bosses should provide or reimburse for more tools. But, with a never ending supply of desperate, cheap labour, they are unlikely to do so.

Sucks when cheap foreign labor floods in and crushes your wages doesn't it? I'd feel bad for you, but when blue collar Americans complain about cheap foreign labor, you just call them "redneck", xenophobe, racist...and ignore their issues.

Comment they came for the labor jobs and I said nothing... (Score 1) 795

Oh noes, cheap foreign labor is affecting white collar jobs. I'd play my tiny fiddle for you , but I hocked it, because cheap foreign labor took my blue collar job. Opps mustn't complain about Latin Americans taking jobs in the trades, that's racist. Complaining about South, and East Asians taking IT jobs is OK, though.
