CERB proved that if you give away free money, it disincentivizes people to work. Ask all those people that received CERB and took a nice summer off during covid while positions couldn't be filled. Oh, and look at our debt.

CERB proved that people will scam the government if they can. UBI will be a bureaucratic nightmare costing the government billions in administration. And no people will not work if they get sufficient free money to not have to. And who pays for the UBI?

CERB proved fraud is rampant

The CERB is the reason our economy is destroyed right now, by rising interest rates, rampant inflation, and stagnant wages.

Almost all my son’s friends did not return to work until they learned how much off their CERB they had to pay back in taxes. How much UBI has to be paid back in income taxes?

Oh look another WEF affiliated member for SDGs telling us how great a welfare state would be for us. CERB was a short term program and is no wat an accurate bench mark.

Cerb was riddled with fraud. Something to the tune of 4.5 billion

Employment isn't "bouncing back" for low wage earners. Instead, high and medium wage earners are becoming low wage earners.

"All those hyperbolic predictions about China being twice the size of the U.S. before you can blink, I think you can forget about that," says Fmr. IMF Chief Economist Ken Rogoff. "They're going to take a long time to meaningfully take the U.S. economy indeed if they ever do."

🚨 WERE WE MISLED ABOUT FARM WORKERS' PAY Many farm employers comply with the minimum wage, and sugarcane cutters can earn more than general farm labourers. He argued that the bigger challenge is that many South Africans are unwilling to take physically demanding jobs such as bricklaying, grass cutting and sugarcane cutting. If that's true, then perhaps the debate isn't only about wages, but also about the type of work people are willing to do. Do you agree, or do you think low pay and poor working conditions are still the main reasons these jobs struggle to attract local workers? 👇🏾

🚨NEW: Hypocrisy level 1000.🚨 The same woman who filmed herself screaming at CorePower Yoga staff for being "complicit" in ICE raids now openly brags about her "protest": she and her group of white liberal women deliberately dumped all the heavy weights on the floor after class... just to force the (likely low-wage) workers to pick them up. "I care about our neighbors and their experience!" she virtue-signaled right before admitting to trashing the place. Caring about "neighbors" apparently stops at the yoga studio staff. These people are unhinged. Peak performative activism: berate minimum-wage employees, then make their jobs harder. Classic. (She got banned nationwide. Good riddance.) #CorePowerYoga #LiberalHypocrisy #ICE

After 78 years in Chicago, True Value’s HQ is bolting to Fort Wayne, Indiana. Pritzker called Indiana a low-wage state that isn’t attractive to anyone. Hundreds of jobs just chose Indiana over his Illinois anyway. Another one fleeing his sky-high taxes and endless regulations. How many more will leave before JB Pritzker admits his policies are the problem?

While this woman, this squatter slept in my home,' Hale said The deputy told her to consider the alleged squatter's perspective 'Just think of it from this perspective, though.

There are no jobs natives won’t do, only wages they won’t accept. The migrant behind the camera says “they say we’re taking their jobs… Aussie lads don’t want to work” The farmer replies “..young Aussies just wanna sleep in, go to the beach and drink beer… they don’t want to do this” From the migrant’s perspective, even a low Australian wage is 100x what a low wage is where he’s from, plus working here leads to permanent residency which leads to Medicare and other social supports. So it’s hardly a trudge for the migrant to take the role, seeing as though comparatively to staying home this endeavour will make him very wealthy. And the farmer must surely know that when pay is high enough to compensate for hours, conditions, and opportunity cost, an Australian will take the job. What are often described as “labour shortages” or “they don’t want to do this” are usually a reflection of employers’ preference for keeping wages low rather than a true lack of available workers, especially for lower skill requirement jobs. By increasing the supply of labour, mass immigration places downward pressure on wages and reduces workers’ bargaining power, allowing firms to fill roles without raising pay. This farmer could’ve got Aussies to do it, but he’d have to pay them an Aussie wage. He didn’t want to admit that, so he just said Australians are lazy, and the migrant worker gleefully agrees.

Before you plan to intimidate an Ikwerre man, think about it for 12 months and discourage yourself from embarking on such fruitless mission. Wike is not a man you intimidate, the former Chief of Naval Staff should do the right thing by getting the right papers.

Former Harvard Pilgrim Chief Medical Officer: "You get 100% back of what you know about, but not the stuff they're hiding." Former Zinc executive: “Think of the PBM/GPO as one entity … there was literally a temporary wall put up between Zinc and Caremark. No separate building … Zinc and Caremark reported to the same VP.”

Should President Trump terminate the H-1B visa program? As an immigration attorney who advocates for an America-First approach—yes, I know how rare that is—I think Trump should do it for three reasons: 1. Displacement of American Workers The H1B program allows companies to lay off American workers and replace them with foreign workers who are often paid less, prioritizing cost savings over U.S. job security. This undermines the claim that H-1B visas are used only when qualified American workers are unavailable. For example, Microsoft—which is making record profits these days—recently laid off over 15,000 American workers, including software engineers and IT staff, while simultaneously filing over 14,000 H1B visa petitions. Reports indicate that many of these visas were for roles in the same locations and job categories as the laid-off workers, suggesting direct replacement. 2. Wage Suppression and Exploitation The H1B visa program enables companies to hire foreign workers at lower wages, suppressing salaries for American workers and exploiting H-1B workers who are tied to their employer-sponsored visas. This creates a race-to-the-bottom effect on wages in tech and other industries. H-1B workers also face exploitation because they risk deportation if terminated, with only a 60-day grace period to find a new sponsor. 3. Abuse by Outsourcing Firms Outsourcing firms, particularly Indian IT companies, exploit the H1B program by securing a disproportionate share of visas to supply low-cost labor, often for non-specialized roles. These firms engage in practices like filing visas for nonexistent jobs or “benching” workers, undermining the program’s purpose of addressing genuine skill shortages. I'm Joseph Bovino, U.S. immigration and business attorney based in Miami and serving clients worldwide. Let me know if you agree that it's time to terminate, phase out, or replace the H1B visa program. Use the link in my bio if you'd like to schedule a video consultation with about another type of visa that actually benefits you AND America, such as an E2 investor visa or the O1 visa for individuals with extraordinary ability.

At my confirmation hearing last March, I noted that President Trump’s historic return to the White House was fueled by the hardworking men and women of America who were looking for a leader to put them First. In his first year alone, President Trump has more than delivered on that promise. Under his leadership, all net job growth has gone to Native-Born Workers, U.S. Department of Labor is making significant investments in our workforce, and we’re working around the clock to ensure American Jobs go to American Workers. There’s a lot more to do this year, but we’re making progress — and we’re never going to stop fighting for the American People 🇺🇸
