If those "illegals" could build what exists in America, they'd never leave their home countries.
That statement is not even remotely accurate.The opportunities don't exist in most South American nations.
They're not going to build anything,other than simple wood structures aka homes but they will take existing jobs,for which the elites will gladly train them.
South America has no natural resources? What "opportunities" are those people lacking?
America was built and still exists because hard-working people in a high-trust environment worked together. America is slowly and inevitably becoming a 3rd World nation as it becomes more populated by people originating in 3rd World nations.
The elites depend on the whites who built America to keep it functioning at all, economically and otherwise. If we weren't needed, we'd already be wiped out. They know they can guilt us into continuing to work.
socialists/communists have managed to [bleep] up every country they have been in charge of. Every one. If you think you can just walk away, and that 'they' will do the heavy lifting, you are in for a rude awakening. What you will get is no middle class and everyone in one of two positions. The ruling elite and the peons. Does not take a lot of brain power to figure where we will be. Oh, and no guns, no hunting, no talking back.
You've not addressed any concerns J.B.Shurk wrote about in the original article.
High-trust environment? lol
Do you actually believe that the Chinese who built the railroads traveling west,worked in a high-trust environment?
Did the children who worked in garment factories work in a high-trust environment?
Did the people who worked in Cannery Row,about which John Steinbeck wrote,work in a high-trust environment?
You shouldn't use a phrase which you don't understand.
Yes, Asians are high-trust. Yes, children of high-trust parents are high-trust. And Steinbeck is just another Jewish propagandist, feeding off high-trust populations.
Pretty pathetic that I have to explain this stuff.
I'm afraid I'm on path to do what GeeDubya described (sorta).
For me, it started around 2008, when the economy melted down and the government intervened to save all the financial institutions. I was working at a big law firm at the time, with a number of financial company clients, and I pissed off the partners when I openly stated that I would rather see every bank in the nation go under than give the government power to control every aspect of our lives in exchange for the bailout.
When the bailouts occurred and I saw the Obama regime hand over GM to the unions, rather than to the bondholders who legally should have received the assets, I left the world of big law farms and took a massive pay cut to start my own practice, focused on those things I actually cared about. Over time, I went on a mission to make myself self sufficient to the maximum extent possible given the realities of my life (aging parents, property ownership, etc.).
Moving to Montana was the big final step for me. Much lower cost of living, much more freedom, I own some land with a basic cabin and lots of game available.
I look back at CA and see that they are now going to bleed working people to give reparations to blacks and am sure that at some point, it will go nationwide. I'm doing my best to not depend on government for a thing and also to not be subject to taxation.
Yes, I have a lot less money available now, but I also have a lot less need for money.
Althou I Agree with your Conviction on the Bailout’s and your Suspicions of what would happen when the Government gets Involved with it’s Sugar..
The Cascading Events of Massive Bankruptcies across not only the Car Sector but the whole Financial System was not Acceptable..
They have created crisis after crisis and made each one worse in the fox. Marxism is destroying our nation and congressional republicans are happy to help as long as they keep their positions of power.

Housing Crisis.. The Virus..
As Dual Citizen Rhom Emanuel once said ..
“Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste” ..
And Now Trump and the Patriots have the playbook.
As Q said, "Imagine what you can accomplish when you have their playbook."
Q+ is Trump. Imagine what he gave up to go through what he's done for us.
I expect the economy to crash. Will the people blame Trump or the Ds? Who are they blaming for high gas prices? Maybe that's what it takes to drain the swamp. Maybe that's why Trump is not in the WH?

America is what is it is because of geography:
You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
You cannot over estimate the unimportance of nearly everything. John Maxwell
I'm 15 or so years younger than you, GWB, and am pretty much in the same boat culturally, socially, economically, and ethically.
I've also had similar thoughts since 2020. If MAGA males in this country, who do 95+% of the work that keeps the country running just up and quit, society would fall apart in a matter of days.
Want electricity? Too bad.
Want clean water running to your house? Too bad.
Want gas at the pumps? Too bad.
Want food at the grocery store? Too bad.
Yet MAGA dudes are the only demographic regularly $hit on by all other demographics in the media, political arena, and academia. These useless people are totally dependent upon those they despise. Most of them, I'm sure, have no idea how modern amenities are actually delivered to them, they just know when they flip a switch, the lights come on.
If MAGA shrugged, even if only for one day, I think a lot of people would gain some perspective.
But a lot still wouldn't.
You honestly believe that 9.5 out of 10 workers who make your list happen are MAGA's? what are they supposed to look like?
Let's start with the BLS and see who works what jobs. This is not the best table, but let's see what percent of certain jobs are performed by white males:
When we look at how builds stuff and who keeps this nations running, the data is clear. Mechanics, heavy equipment operators, plumbers, electricians, machinests, carpenters, anything to do with construction, water and waste treatment, petroleum engineers (read refineries), firefighters, police, anything to do with your phones, are overwhelmingly performed by white males.
So yea, if MAGA shrugged, it would be a big deal. But if MAGA shrugged, it would be a much bigger deal than some "strong independent" women going without power and water for a few days, it would signal the beginning of a new social order.

I've also had similar thoughts since 2020. If MAGA males in this country, who do 95+% of the work that keeps the country running just up and quit, society would fall apart in a matter of days.
Want electricity? Too bad.
Want clean water running to your house? Too bad.
Want gas at the pumps? Too bad.
Want food at the grocery store? Too bad.
Yet MAGA dudes are the only demographic regularly $hit on by all other demographics in the media, political arena, and academia. These useless people are totally dependent upon those they despise. Most of them, I'm sure, have no idea how modern amenities are actually delivered to them, they just know when they flip a switch, the lights come on.
If MAGA shrugged, even if only for one day, I think a lot of people would gain some perspective.
But a lot still wouldn't.
You honestly believe that 9.5 out of 10 workers who make your list happen are MAGA's? what are they supposed to look like?
Let's start with the BLS and see who works what jobs. This is not the best table, but let's see what percent of certain jobs are performed by white males:
When we look at how builds stuff and who keeps this nations running, the data is clear. Mechanics, heavy equipment operators, plumbers, electricians, machinests, carpenters, anything to do with construction, water and waste treatment, petroleum engineers (read refineries), firefighters, police, anything to do with your phones, are overwhelmingly performed by white males.
So yea, if MAGA shrugged, it would be a big deal. But if MAGA shrugged, it would be a much bigger deal than some "strong independent" women going without power and water for a few days, it would signal the beginning of a new social order.

Antelope, I'm trucker biased, our economy is dependent on every nail to hold the structure, I know that.
But truckers are the beams. The "If you got it a Trucker Brought it" slogan is deceptive.
In understates the importance of trucks. Trucks and fuel are the chicken or egg of society. They depend on each other, and without them everything stops. Folks only think of trucks as the transport of retail goods. Everything you but has been on a truck, sure. But it has probably been on a hundred trucks if it is a manufactured good.
A head of lettuce has been on, fertilizer, pesticide, fuel, seed, and several refrigerator trucks. The above items? Have all had multiple components moved by trucks.
My point is if 1/2 of the 68% of truck drivers stopped, the whole dam mess would collapse in a week.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

Dillon, it's hard to overstate the importance of the humble trucker and his brethren on in the rail yards, on the docks, and at sea. That data set didn't have number for those later categories, but we all know who does most of those jobs as well.
You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
You cannot over estimate the unimportance of nearly everything. John Maxwell
