Free Republic used to be the realm of folks got all the facts before coming to a conclusion. Freepers also generally have civilized, polite discourse. I assume by "scab", you mean non-union labor. Is that a correct assumption? Or are you applying it to anyone who is willing to do a job for less than the salary/wage you require? Is the defining point membership in an approved "club" or is it that someone submits a lower bid for the job than you do?
As to my chosen field - In the 50 years since I graduated from high school, I've worked in a number of fields. It is surprising how many jobs are open to " a moron like you" (that is, "me"). I've flown $6.5 million helicopters (current replacement cost is $25+ million.) I've had discussions a foreign head of state. Once I even worked inside the containment dome of a nuclear power plant. But, hey, if Homer Simpson can do it, any moron can do it, right?
One very large, American based global high tech company even hired me as a "software programmer" in their engineering department. Probably an "affirmative action" hire since I was a 50+ year old white guy at the time. They even sent me to the "Land of the H1B Scabs" to find a company that could help keep the doors open on our software project after a local manager had poured $2.7 million down a US based consultant hole.
The company had originally wanted to transfer the jobs for our entire office to Mexico. When my boss pointed out that by the time we paid tech-savvy, educated Mexicans to do these jobs, the savings would be minimal. So we leveraged our US workforce by augmenting them with a team from "The Land of the H1B Scabs" and were able to do far more work, keep our US employees and learn a few things from our overseas partners. And yes, at times I did feel like a moron working around the overseas team. I doubt I was skilled enough to be hired by that company.
If you do not like competition in employment, do you feel the same way about the goods & services which you purchase? Do you "Look for the Union Label" in all your purchases, or do you buy the best product at a competitive price? If you buy your cars from GM (Government Motors, Union-Made) do you go to the dealer with the highest price, or do you shop around?
I'll stop. I've gotten dangerously close to engaging in a "watermelon seed spitting contest" (there is another, more widely used term used to describe pointless, ego satisfying arguments, but this is a family-friendly website)
Have a nice evening. By the way, are you a better man than those "hundreds of thousands of scabs to take yo livelihood"? Then do a better job than they do!
