The fair market wage is determined by the same market forces of supply and demand. If they can't find local workers at the wage they are offering, raise the wage until they can. If they can't afford the wages necessary to staff their business with local employees and still make a profit, then they have failed as a business. Simple as that.

Temporary foreign workers are supposed to fill skill gaps in the economy when not enough qualified workers exist, not to supply cheap labour when employers want to improve their bottom line.

I'd also like to point out that smaller local businesses don't have the power and money to exploit temporary foreign workers in the way corporations such as Tim Hortons can, putting them at a severe disadvantage to compete with them. These businesses still manage to survive in most markets, but would grow and thrive if the playing field was leveled. Fuck corporations, support small local businesses.

Except the governments and corporations are there because that's where most of the people are.

Users are still so ignorant to the fact that they are actually the product that Twitter sells. Some of them even pay for that privilege. 🙄

I think taste builds up a tolerance to sweet in the same way it does for heat. I used to drink lots of soda, but I stopped drinking it completely and now when I have a sip of Coke it tastes WAY too sweet and I can barely stand it. For people who eat lots of fast and ultra-processed foods packed with added sugar, salt, and fat, they need more extremes like this shake to overcome their tolerance in the same way a person who eats lots of spicy foods gets bored with jalapenos and needs ghost peppers and Carolina reapers that would destroy most other people's palettes.

Meanwhile priests get caught molesting children and don't have to resign because the church silently moves them to another parish hoping nobody else finds out.

It's fair that maybe he felt like he could still insert a pro-labour message in the minds of working class Republican voters who were tuned in, but it's confounding for him to not call out Trump who is representative of the exploitative capitalists he was talking about. That's the silent endorsement to me, making it seem like the two are not completely at odds.

I watched the speech live. I actually agree with a lot of what he said, but the dead silence in the crowd when he wasn't kissing Trump's ass was all I needed to hear. That speech wasn't trying to convince Republicans to revolt against their leader, it was trying to soften moderates to vote for a dictator who will crush them at the first chance.

"Maybe if we become friends with the face eating leopards then they will stop eating our faces!"

Total class traitor.

I'm not deep into the lore, but as far as I understand sovcits believe there is a shadow trust (or a corporate entity with their name in all caps) created for every person that the government gets control of at birth when you "register" it. They also believe that certain laws only apply to this corporate entity and not to them as people, and that they can exploit loopholes to get access to this shadow trust to pay for things by telling others to charge bills to their corporate entity (again, name in all caps) instead of to them as people.

I guess she is expecting a new baby to have a new shadow trust for her to be able to pay for stuff with, thus why she wants to make sure she doesn't "give up control" of it.

No, see you proposed a theory, that these were not "true" Trump supporters in the picture, with zero evidence to support your theory. You're simply making up conspiracies and shifting the burden of proof to be edgy.

Try this one: How do you know Trump is human and not actually an alien sent from Alpha Centauri to take over Earth for colonization by assuming one of the most powerful positions? Give me irrefutable proof or I'm right because of "critical thinking".

The cynic in me believes that the Republicans calling for Biden to have a drug test before the debate was good old projection, and Trump was the one who was actually hopped up on drugs. Can't ride that pharmaceutical train all the time though.
