One obstacle after another.
No wonder businesses are going overseas.
I think simply giving up and walking away is the best possible way to react to all of this. Stop trying to sustain a system that is broken anyway and not good for a lot of people.
Our country is like the Old South, determined to maintain a class system that prevents people from moving up (certain elites referring to ordinary Americans as trash) and a determination to bring in cheap labor in endless supply (the Mexicans), and a perverse determination not to be practical about an education (getting useless degrees) and deliberate ignorance about reality (as evidenced by the way people choose to ignore warning signs and learn from mistakes).
I broke with that some years ago and I believe that it was the best possible thing in the world. You won’t see me fighting to uphold a toxic system.
Starve this beast!
