no, we need more jobs and the easiest way to create jobs is to begin rebuilding our infrastructure which is in collapse

this will provide thousands of people with work, which will provide them with disposable income, allowing them to spend, creating even more jobs

at present, wealth is pooled in the hands of a minority of the population, who then place it beyond the reach of the government in offshore accounts, rather than being used to raise up the conditions of the majority of the population

i don't give a shit about jews provided they are not among the rich

poor jews are far less inclined to hide their jewishness, you can see them everywhere in traditional dress, which is practically a neon sign indicating "i am jewish", and they are largely insular and conservative

wealthy jews became wealthy because they filled up the banking and mercantile professions during the middle ages when such professions were regarded as disreputable, and those professions then became important to the functioning of the economy with increased global trade

many jewish families became very wealthy very suddenly, like the rothschilds, and their interests became distinct from those of poor jews, who unlike wealthy jews did not conceal their jewish identity because they were not soliciting clients from among wealthy non-jews

>Broken window fallacy

this

we do not need another war because the infrastructure is already collapsing without it

there are already people willing to work and we don't need a war to mobilize them

there is even the technology to create a largely automated industrial sector and increase general living standards using the wealth generated by that automated industrial sector

in fact, that technology is already so advanced that it is responsible for a great deal of unemployment today and anxiety about unemployment in the future

our problem isn't the lack of things that need to be done, there's already plenty that needs to be done

we don't lack the means to achieve them, we are the most technologically well-equipped generation of human beings in history

the only problem is we have a parasitic overclass which doesn't want things to change, because then they lose their power over people, and there is a horde of sycophantic kiss-asses who think their parasitic rulers are brilliant geniuses who produce so much good that they must deserve to spend the annual budget of developing nations on personal luxuries and their braindead children

Cost of living has never been lower and the stock market is wide open giving the burger flippers equal footing with old money billionaires. It's a great time to be alive. Most shit I want doesn't even cost money, I just download it. I currently rent a 1br apartment in midtown for $700/mo, water, lights, and cable included. Cellular is $70, food is $60/wk if I'm feeling gluttonous, $30 if I'm frugal. I'm saving up to buy 5 acres or so 30 minutes outside of the city and build my own house. Land is about 40k to 100k, a badass cottage with top of the line everything will cost about 20k, maybe 1k for an engineer to stamp off on my blueprint and get permits, and lots of beer and pizza I pay my family for helping me build. I plan on retiring around the age of 45. Honestly I'm having a hard time imagining life and better than in the current economic climate. I got an associates degree and am pulling 60k a year.

absolutely this

the war industry doesn't produce anything that's of value for the majority of the population, so another war would be the most wasteful and destructive thing imaginable from the point of view of the average person

when people say we need another war, what they're saying is that only a major government initiative can improve the economy, and because our ideology states that the government should only concern itself with the economy when wartime measures are in place, it follows that we need another war

but that's not what we need, what we need is a major initiative for the improvement of the economy and an administration with the courage to pursue such an initiative

What's a mobile cottage? It sounds interesting but I imagine too hard to build and fuck with code.

$200k is more than the land costs and could build a huge house, the opposite of comfy cottage. My figures are in USD. Building materials are cheap. 20k is for top of the line everything and fully furnished. The foundation, frame, and exterior could be done for around $2k. Much of the cost is appliances and finishing the interior. You should play around on home depot's website. You get better prices buying in bulk too. If you have any experience you can easily do the whole project yourself all but the rafters. I might document the project and write a book about it to go with the house plans I'll sell. Im not ready to break ground but if you're interested keep an eye out and in the meantime do some research. I plan on making a few different versions as I understand others will have different goals in mind but still want a simple step by step guide and instructions on how to source the trickier stuff like the steam shower and copper apron sink and countertops.

Permits don't cost that much, a post and pier foundation is not poured and costs a few hundred at most, HVAC and utilities are required for max comfy but don't cost anywhere near that much if you know anything about drafting a good blueprint and picking system components.

>>29029914

The plan is to get an engineer to rubber stamp my plans and get a guy to do the permits. It's a trivial matter as laws are very lax in my area. I've spoken with a few different friends just to get an idea of the process. My family will help with framing and the heavy shit. Doing it all by myself is a little too much. Certainly doable but would cost more and take longer.

>>29029939

My plans could change to become more or less expensive but currently I am going to build it for $20k. I don't care what some dumb fuck kid online who's never held a hammer has to say.

we don't need a major governmental initiative, either a war or an infrastructure program, because once that injection of spending is finished, we'll be right back where we are now. It's like the opioid epidemic, take morphine to treat chronic pain and pretty soon you'll just have chronic pain and a morphine addiction.

what's going on is that technological progress has so drastically reduced the amount of labor needed for a given (very high) level of output, that there's a large and growing part of the population thats now completely surplus to all requirements. That useless part of the population has always been present, but now its expanded far enough that it's not just hicks and bums and dindus, but now its starting to include Joe Average with his 90 IQ and high school diploma, and he's shocked at the fact that there's nothing the economy needs done that he can do, save the bottom-tier retail stuff that anyone with a pulse can do.

So in a sense we do need a war. Not because of the massive government investment it would entail, but because wars kill off the bottom end of the population.

>>29031217

What's wrong in the US is that the pie is getting bigger, but the only people getting more pie as a result are the ultrarich. Almost all the new income from the growing economy goes straight into the pockets of the top of the top 1%.

No one cares that the pie is bigger if their own slice gets no bigger and is worth less than it used to be, and no part of that will change unless the rich are constrained from influencing politics disproportionately via lobbyists, are then prevented from enacting the policies that benefit them at the cost of everyone else in America, and are taxed more. The rich do have to be "hurt" for the poor to survive.

But really, it's "hurt" in the sense that society needs to prevent their greedy short-term goals from destroying the long-term good of society in general. Severe income inequality is sure to destroy the nation, it always leads to bad systemic results, and it won't be good for them either. Rich people aren't necessarily wiser than anyone else, and what's important to understand about them is that they accrue wealth for no other reason than accruing wealth. They don't even spend most of what they take in, 85% of it goes offshore and then just sits there doing nothing. Why do they want it? Why don't they retire? Because that number going up is what they find meaning in. They're destroying America for literally no good reason, it's just satisfying their own existential angst in the way Reagan told them to; greed is good, got mine fuck you. They have to be reined in for their own good as much as anyone else's.

we're just returning to the natural order of things, is all - a few people on top, everyone else below. The only thing you can change is which characteristic the 1% have. It can be money, like under capitalism, knowing the right people and politicking, like the leadership of many communist countries has been, heredity, like in medieval monarchies, or whatever. Often one of these will tend to introduce the others.

The 19th and 20th century and the existence of a middle class was an aberration caused by the destructiveness of its wars and the pace of technological change increasing to a rate never seen before nor likely to be seen hence.

Enjoy the collapse, this system can't go on forever. Feminism doubled the work force, immigration depresses wages, H1B visas and outsourcing depress white collar wages. Debt financed education increases the supply of degree holding workers, again depressing wages. How is it mystery that Trump and Sanders are gaining traction when the system is like this?

Get the best job you can get, get side hustles (like writing romance e-books on amazon or better yet ones that pay in cash), live frugally, save it all, don't get married, don't have kids, get NEET bux if you can, and starve the beast. The Japanese government is freaking out because the birth rate is so low. Every economy needs consumer spending.

Why do you think deportation will cost a lot?

Just wait till the illegals get busted for any crime, then ship them back to Mexico. You don't have to hunt them down, just wait for them to fuck up.

okay so we kick them out and close the ports to China. You think that'll help?

Cost of living goes way up because stuff will either be unavailable if it isn't made here, or it'll cost a lot more than chink shit. Employers, facing reduced demand, will be trying their damndest to not hire, anyone who does expand production is going to use automation wherever possible instead of expensive US workers.

you're just gonna cause a recession, and hurt a lot of ordinary workers when the stock market tanks - since thats what pension funds and 401(k)s are made of.

Why would employers face reduced demand? They already have no demand because foreign goods are cheaper.

>Why would employers face reduced demand?
because you're kicking millions of people out of the country. They're predominantly poor and middle-class people, who tend to spend what they earn, instead of saving most of it like the rich do. That's a lot of spending power to take out of an economy that, remember, is 70% consumer spending.

Also tearing up trade deals means that any company that exports would face reduced demand by definition, as other countries put up protectionist barriers against us in retaliation.

promoting economic growth by kicking out immigrants is like losing weight by starving yourself. You just wind up making yourself weaker because the economy, like your body, will react by battening down the hatches.

>>29032564
And by kicking those millions out, you'll open up jobs for millions of actual citizens. Demand won't go anywhere.

The the government actually enforce the immigration laws on the book, and end shit like sanctuary cities, illegal migration will fall. Family members complicit in harboring illegals is a crime, but rarely prosecuted. Actually enforce the laws and illegals will stay away. The elite want illegals to depress wages for all, even Republicans wanted to amnesty illegals for votes, a push which Rubio led. The establishment candidates and the main stream media weren't even talking about illegal immigration before Trump.

The majority of my workplace productivity goes to government and corporate profits. Whatever pittance I keep, when I spend it, more goes to government (sales tax) and a company's profit margin.

While the rich with dynastic wealth sit around all day doing nothing, yet NEETs are vilified?

Fuck the establishment, it's called wage-slavery for a reason.

>Given a fixed availability of employment, the lump of labour position argues that allowing immigration of working age people reduces the availability of work for native born workers ("they are taking our jobs"). This may be refuted by arguing that (1) skilled immigrating workers may bring capabilities that are not available in the native workforce (e.g. banking, academic research), and (2) that immigrating workforces also create additional jobs, thus expanding the economy and creating further jobs directly (e.g. setting up businesses and requiring local services or workforces) or indirectly (e.g. an increased population needs to buy more groceries, therefore increasing demand on shops, therefore requiring additional shop staff).[8]

Illegal immigrants aren't bankers or scientists. Illegal immigrants aren't starting businesses. How could they? They have no ID, they can't get loans or start bank accounts.

I am fine with legal immigrants. I'm NOT fine with illegal immigrants.

They wages illegals steal will all then go to legals. Wages will increase because the labor supply will shrink. These low tier earners will still spend most of their income. The only things that will decrease is remittances to foreign countries and consequently the trade deficit, productivity will decrease since companies have to pay more for the same aggregate amount of labor, and corporate profits, since that is where the benefit of worker productivity coalesces.

>corporate profits
This is why the elite wants illegals and mass immigration. Depressed wages means higher productivity which leads to higher profits.

>>29032719
>also create additional jobs
Like more police needed and prison guards. Great trade off. Legal immigration is orders of magnitude better than illegal immigration.

>Illegal immigrants aren't bankers or scientists.
Go to any college and look at the graduate program in any STEM field. Tell me how many Indians and Chinese you see there.
>Illegal immigrants aren't starting businesses.
look in the phone book under contractors and landscapers and you'll find dozens of businesses started by (and employing) Mexican immigrants. This should be obvious.

>companies have to pay more for the same aggregate amount of labor
Companies will require less labor if the spending power of all those people gets removed because you kicked them out. That's a lot of people who are no longer buying food or going to stores. The rise in average wages will incentivize employers to tighten their belts and use less labor, like they did in the great recession.

>This is why the elite wants illegals and mass immigration. Depressed wages
wages are depressed for many other reasons, like automation and lack of skills. Kicking out Mexicans doesn't change that.

>>Like more police needed and prison guards.
In the country that already incarcerates millions more people than any other first-world country, and at ruinous expense.

>Legal immigration is orders of magnitude better than illegal immigration.
Hence why we should loosen restrictions on immigration. More people will come here, which will help the economy, and we save taxpayer dollars by not needing those police and prison guards. Everyone wins.

They're legal immigrants.

The employers are legal immigrants. Good luck getting licensed as an illegal.

As I've said, I have no problem with legal immigration. I think it probably IS too hard to do. But that doesn't mean the ones who have illegally entered the country should get amnesty.

I'm pretty sure their papers are in order. Not all asians are illegal immigrants, you racist.

How would they register the business?

I didn't say a thing about H1B workers.

I'm not sure they're a good idea either, but I'm certain importing unskilled labor isn't a good idea.

I work in an Amazon warehouse and I would say that the vast majority of my coworkers there are Asian and African immigrants.

I'm told that you get a big monkey chain because immigration chooses to admit the family members of people who are already here for whatever reason. Then you end up with smelly African people displacing American blue collars.

It does seem like a conspiracy.

>How would they register the business?
option a: don't. If you're just mowing lawns or something this is very simple.
option b: flag of convenience. Use the identity of a friend who has papers.
option c: go ahead and register anyway. A lot of localities don't check immigration status for such things.
