    How to unite us

    https://www.breitbart.com/immigratio...y-100-billion/

    Bring in more competition for a dwindling job market.

    Barbara Tuchman's "A Distant Mirror" told how the Black Death led to the rise of the middle class and decline of feudalism. These guys wish to reverse that.

    A lot of inheriting went on after the Blac Death finally ended.
    All the surviving relatives appeared with their lawyers in tow.

      One thing that grew out of the Black Death was the Peasant Rebellion of 1381. Landlords were demanding full payment of rents and work -- with fewer peasants to deliver. The peasants tried to sue in the Court of Assizes, but the court rejected their suit, saying villains (villagers) had no rights in court. Shakespear dramatized the rebellion (conflating it with another, later rebellion) and has the famous line, "Kill all the lawyers."

        Remember these are the same guys who told us of the wonders of the Chinese market, meaning their labor market.

        The Chinese had no money to buy anything but soybeans from us. But they were the low cost labor market there for awhile, so everyone outsourced.

        You want things to get better in the small towns, then push for smaller farms, diversified, and union wages. Yes stuff will cost more but there will also be more people working, and demand for workers. So we won't have to listen to this "guaranteed income" crap where able bodied people are paid to not work.

        I also think the 32 hour workweek is a stupid idea too.
