You come up with the most interesting correlations…

the pundits just want their cheap labour. They will always talk it down.
Right, it’s got nothing to do with that whole supply/demand thingy…
No it does. The paid pundit has his opinion, I have mine.
And @pat
Yes, we covered a lot of this in this very thread - he isn’t wildly successful. Wildly successful implies something other than middling or subpar.
Trump’s success is based on one key ingredient - he got to start with a bunch of capital to play with.
The demand for cheap labor will always exist, if we continue to accommodate that demand with uncontrolled global immigration, wages will never go up. Immigration is much cheaper to manage on the front end than the back end, the cost to secure the border is pennies compared to the costs of education, welfare/govt assistance, healthcare, and incarceration. Los Angeles County spends $2 Billion per year on illegal alien healthcare alone as an example.
If we imported cheap workers from China across our Southern border, you will see Mexicans building Trump’s wall overnight.
That’s fine and I’m happy to discuss it, but what you wrote is not what I was referring to.
These two =/= correlation. That is my point. The article makes it clear and it’s econ 101 anyway. There aren’t enough laborers to cover demand; ie, there is a supply shortage. This is simply competition doing what competition does. It’s for this exact reason that I am against universal education especially “free” college here. It will dilute competition via over-supply of BAs and BS’.
Further, you will still have a supply shortage after wages rise so one of three things is going to happen:
-
Business will move to where there are laborers. That is a losing proposition for Hungary.
-
Hungary’s going to import labor.
-
Automation if possible.
Those are their options.
Fair enough… It’s not that terribly important to me.
Like I said, he’s the clown that happens to support the issues that are important to me. Definitely not a love affair.
I mean no disrespect, I just disagree. It isn’t what Joe and Sally have to actually do, its the time spent figuring out what is or is not applicable to them. If you know what to do and already know where to go and what to fill out it’s fine. That being said, anything is easy once you know what you’re doing.
And I am personally offended that I not only have to pay, but do a bunch of paperwork too? The concept of doing taxes has always seemed bizarre to me.
Which would be a harder to do and easier to find if the system were simplified.
$6 Billion is never ‘almost nothing’, we’re not talk Lira here.

Wonderful, me too. How are you going to pay for it?

I don’t, I want to get rid of it.
No, but it’s tied to economics. And yes, it’s a rich, complex question and can be treated as rhetorical.
I didn’t say he was a genius, just successful.
Even them. Otherwise statements like “Mexicans are willing to do jobs Americans won’t do” wouldn’t exist.
What specifically in the tax code do you want simplified?
The National debt is $19.4T. $6B is not even 1/10th of 1%. It is nothing.
Medicare is the largest budget item at about $1T. $6B is 6/10th of 1% of that. It’s nothing.
Walmart grossed $482B in 2015. $6B is 1.2% of that. That is nothing.
What and how?
You said he was “wildly successful” and he isn’t even moderately successful. He’s an underperformer.
I was talking specifically about low skill labor as it relates to the future as the 4th industrial revolution unfolds.
I mean, $6B is roughly 2.4% of the interest we pay on the national debt…
Here’s another one:
Hillary talks about the Orlando shooting, with the father of the Orlando shooter in the audience ? What the hell !
Trump campaign operative bursts through the door:
– “Did you see this Clinton Mateen thing? Wow this is great; we can put Clinton on the defensive for a few news cycles. We really needed this. …Guys? What’s the matter guys?”
[STAFFER WHISPERS IN HIS EAR. HIS SMILE MELTS INTO A BLANK STARE]

Prevalent in clinical science. Our instrumentation maintenance plan costs 30,000 a year for an academic lab. We have routinely run without one because we typically have myself and others that can self-maintenance the system and we run clena samples with low throughput, as befits our academic research priorities.
However our field engineer for the company we have run maintenance through has a wife that works at the college (not our department). Hes a good guy and has helped us a lot…we talk about business and he is on call for several big hospitals that run clinical bloodwork on 1 system. 1 system, no back-up, and approximately 16-20 hours of run-time per day for time sensitive blood work. It’s a disaster waiting to happen, even with their 200,000/year maintenance priority plan. And this is a “high skill” area.
You’ll never get rid of people completely–BUT, automation has been coming around gradually for decades now…and it WILL happen. The conversation has to happen at some point.
Oh so much truth here. That is a huge huge reason to opppse free college.
That doesn’t matter the press is only interested when the republican steps in it.
Come on you know that by now.
Huh? Who has been stealing my money then?
The DNC invites the father of the murderous terrorist who slaughtered 49 people and wounded double that, but Trump is so bad for suggesting we temporarily stop immigration from Muslim countries.
There you go, that’s your girl who let that piece of shit into the rally.
As for leaving Hungary it really depends on the nature of the labor shortage. Local retail shops, restaurants vs MNC factories etc.
Hungary seems deadset on maintaining their race and culture so I doubt we will see migrants
Automation is always a threat
Was Walking down the street today with a Trump t-shirt some random dude walking by told me to go fuck myself.
Recently read about a guy in NJ that was beaten up with a crowbar for supporting Trump
Also another Trump supporter was stabbed to death a few days ago in his vehicle. I wonder if the motive had to do with his choice of candidate?
