    Allan Wall for Border Hawk on whether Donald Trump regrets dispatching
    Jared and Ivanka Kushner to Silicon Valley to sue for peace with the
    like of Mark Zuckerberg: <URL:https://borderhawk.blog/is-there-really-a-labor-shortage-policy-expert-says-no/>
    | Even FWD.us, which wants to increase immigration, admits, "When
    | labor is in short supply relative to demand, employers offer higher
    | wages..."
    |
    | There is plenty more in the Atlantic piece. I suggest you check it
    | out for yourself.
    |
    | Here's how Oren Cass ends his excellent article: "Gains in
    | consumption and material living standards are good, but cheaper
    | prices through lower wages is a losing proposition for working-class
    | families and the nation as a whole. The modern American economy has
    | not failed with respect to the material standard of living. It has
    | failed in the creation of insecure jobs that do not meet workers'
    | needs, a shift in the distribution of income that has left working
    | families struggling, and a decay in social solidarity as the winners
    | declare themselves the most valuable and the losers expendable. To
    | reverse those trends, workers must have the power that comes from
    | being needed."
    |
    | If our rulers really cared about Americans from the middle and
    | working classes, they would shut down immigration - both legal and
    | illegal - and allow wages to rise.

    Does Susie Wiles worry that Ron DeSantis will obtain permission from
    Miriam Adelson, Ken Griffin, Lachlan Murdoch, and David Sacks to
    campaign as a tribune for legacy American proles and their posterity
    against the Cheap Labor Lobby?

    "Last May, during a rally for failed candidate Dr. Oz, Trump bragged
    about his friend's wealth: "Woody Johnson, a great gentleman, do you
    ever hear of Johnson & Johnson? He owns the place. I tell you what,
    this guy's got cash like nobody's got cash." 3/
