The globalists have pursued policies that drive down wages for low skill jobs, and the creators of popular culture denigrate the social worth of low-skilled people and the moral value of low-paid work.

"The globalists have pursued policies that drive down wages for low skill jobs, ..."

Hmmm... Can you tell me what portion of the wage defecit is due to globalists and what portion is due to technology?

Jordan Peterson has an interesting video in which he explains that the U.S. military has found that there is no job in the military that can be productively performed by a person with an IQ of 83 or below.

What this means is that it is likely that there are virtually no jobs for such people in the U.S economy which would result in a profit to the employer.

If you could hire 1000 people and pay them $15 per hour while making a profit of $1 for each hour worked, would you do it? I certainly would. That would be $1000 per hour of profit. Unfortunately, it is not easy to do that and one issue which makes it difficult is finding people who can work productively at $15 per hour.
