Anecdotally, I've never met an illegal with fake docs that could get them access to benefits. They want to find someone to hire them off the books and then stay under the radar.
lol…I’m not selling anything. I’m either right or wrong and the market will decide.
I was just pointing out one of my main reasons for being a Bitcoiner is because it benefits the common man.
Why is it valuable? Think of it this way, NVidia makes chips desperately needed by computer firms. For the foreseeable future we can rely that NVidia is going to make money. They will pass this back as dividends even if the stock never rises another penny.
Bitcoin isn't real, you can't touch it, smell it, eat it, see it. It produces nothing of value. It uses a hell of a lot of energy. It is valuable ONLY because people think it is valuable. That doesn't seem nearly as trustworthy as computer chips. Sure, someone may come along and make a new type of chip rendering NVidia obsolete. On the other hand 1) it could be them and 2) they might be able to jump into the game and still make great profits.
Bitcoin is the functional equivalent of investing in baseball cards, except at least you can see and touch those (though don't touch them, it ruins the value).
Bitcoin is a massive wealth transfer scheme that ultimately transfers wealth from the people who get left holding all the Bitcoin to the people smart enough to get out before it crashes.
The productivity gains flows to everyone in the form of lower prices. Why should a good or service that requires fewer resources and less labor cost more money?

Bitcoin is valuable. It's a scare digital asset that you can hold to protect yourself from currency debasement, which protects you against governments stealing the most important thing you have, time. You can use it a medium of exchange. You can hold it outside of traditional financial markets and take it anywhere in the world. And you can send digital energy, to anyone in the world, at anytime you like and have it settle in a few minutes. Bitcoin isn't baseball cards. It's the greatest form of money ever invented. It has lot of value.
That sounds like the 10,000 gold commercials that used to flood late-night radio.

People aren't getting out of Bitcoin to get back into a fiat system when the global debt to GDP is 330%. When debt levels are high people want protection and hedges against it. It's why Gold, Silver, and Bitcoin have performed so well this year.
You realize the vast majority of Americans have never used the term "fiat system".
Snarl has that as a tat with a line through it
Marv, you would be surprised how quickly the panties come off when you discuss fiat systems and Bitcoin.

Easy, Snarl. Don’t take the bait.

Don’t fall for it!!!
Would a decrease in migrant labor create shortages or price increases?Societal benefits are FAR FAR more than taxes paid. There was a time in the US we celebrated the "common man". It sees a lot of us only want to celebrate the rich and powerful, all the while complaining about the elite.
We need migrant farm labor. We need custodians. We need unskilled workers.
Unskilled Labor Shortage in the US and Immigrant Workforce
Learn more about the unskilled labor shortage in the U.S and discover how immigrants help bridge the gap and contribute to the labor market's vitality.www.nexaworkforce.com
This started before COVID
The US is experiencing a widespread worker shortage. Here’s why.
Retail and restaurant workers are more in demand than tech workers.www.vox.com
Here is a story on how low-skilled immigrant labor more than pays for itself:
No, Low-Skilled Immigrants Don’t Cost Taxpayers Money
According to new research, even less skilled migrants to the US have a net fiscal benefit of about $750 each.www.bloomberg.com
From that, one way lower-skilled labor can make native Americans wealthier:
These new measures do not deny the standard assessments of the potential fiscal costs of immigrants. Rather, they consider an additional positive factor: namely, that low-skilled immigrants enable native workers to move into higher-wage jobs, and in some cases to work more hours. That may occur through a number of channels, some of them highly complex and hard to measure, but most simply recall Adam Smith’s maxim that the division of labor is limited by the extent of the market.To view this more concretely, consider working parents who would choose more demanding and higher-paying jobs if cheaper and more convenient child care, which typically requires only a high school diploma, were available. If a new immigrant provided that care, those parents would be able to earn more money — and would pay more taxes.
If you have kids, you know how expensive childcare is.
We know that immigrants work migrant labor cheaper than native. Do you want to pay more for food?
I miss the days when we celebrated the common man (or woman) in America and not the 1%.
I’m skeptical that is true?
We saw economic problems when Alabama cracked down years ago
Alabama immigration: crops rot as workers vanish to avoid crackdown
The day before harsh new laws came into effect, Brian Cash had 65 Hispanic men picking tomatoes. Now he has none
Some Alabama farmers cut back crops, citing illegal immigration crackdown
Some Alabama farmers say they are planting less produce rather than risk having tomatoes and other crops rot in the fields a second straight year because of labor shortages linked to the state's crackdown on illegal immigration.
There is little evidence Americans want these jobs, and not at the wages given. If no one works them, what happens? If they have to pay triple, what happens?
By the way, Alabama is now all in on guest worker visas because they have experienced migrant shortages impacting farms. I think it shows the problem.

And it isn't just farming directly, anyone wonder why all those poultry processing plants were raided circa 2020?

If migrants are consumers and the amount of work available is not fixed (it changes)….then I don’t see where the decrease in migrant labor would create shortages and price increases.
The amount of farm produce that we dump is this country is astronomical and unknown to most.
Don’t worry. Musk will soon unveil the AI automated system to harvest all crops. MAGA - Make Automated Groceries America!
I don't get the consumer aspect, if they were in their home country they would still be consumers. People eat all over the world, and the US exports food.
I used produce as an example because that was where you originally went.
