LA Chatter

"I don't think the President understands that we have entire sectors of our economy that can not function without immigrant labor."

-- LA Mayor Karen Bass

I paused over the comment for a while...thinking....so since early 1990s...everything in LA that came after Reagan's 'deal' for the migrants....ensured this slave-like economy.

You needed 400 man-hours of landscaping a year....but weren't willing to pay normal wage....you hired a Mexican for the 60-to-70 percent wage of that normal wage.  

You needed 16,000 man-hours of roofing repair for your small company each year....you hired a Mexican.

You needed 40,000 man-hours of restaurant work per year.....you hired a Mexican.

You needed 20,000 man-hours a year for your muffler shop....you hired a Mexican.

It was a non-existent and fake economy.  I hate to say it....but we basically need a 'Lincoln' to sort this out and clean up the mess.

a)
I think Mayor Bass doesn't understand reality.
.
b)
YouTuber 'cyfy' does inspections of new and newer homes in the area of Phoenix Arizona.
He details consistent failures in the structure, the stucco, plumbing.
Keyword : consistent.
.
Consistent, almost as though day-labor from the The Home Depot curb are jealous they could never afford the homes they assemble.
.
An aside:
Did you see the videos of urine-soaked insulation, drenched prior to sheetrock getting hung?
Wooden studs stained with urine?
Floors saturated with urine?
These are not healthy people.

I've seen these videos....it's just curious. You steak out $300k of your earnings for a house which needs around $30k in repairs in the first year, but people deny themselves the situation....wait 5 or 6 years....then fix the crap.
