The whole “Can’t find enough XXX workers” argument really means “Can’t find enough XXX workers willing to work for illegal Mexican wages”
Which really means.. my company is lining their pockets with tax dollars saved by dodging taxes employers pay to hire US citizens so they can deed their families.
We have a winner!
I’ve believed for a long time that the split between inflation and lack of a corresponding rise in labor wages had to come to an eventual correction. The only thing that has suppressed it has been the constant influx of illegals to suppress the natural economic result by increasing available supply. Which meant someone else was raking it in.
As a shareholder I would not want the risk, but in addition dividends haven’t risen at the same rate as inflation either - IMO. Which means it went to management, the boards, and was filtered off to the aside as donations, etc
