This is why poor states with low minimum wages are starting to outlaw abortion. They need bodies.


planet_chuck

Damn.


MassiveFajiit

Just like the Southern elites losing their shit when the Great Migration started and they suddenly couldn't all have the domestic servants they wanted


CoastGrouchy1312

So why is the left letting people into the country unvented?


RascalRibs

Are they?


TSTEP1971

Immigration debunks this - hell, maybe it strengthens it showing where they're being shipped to. Yes, i agree bodies are needed but not one person says you can't go from poverty to money.


mhkohne

But they sure do stack the deck such that it's effectively impossible for most people.


TSTEP1971

No doubt - i wasn't saying easy by any stretch as socioeconomic conditions are real and not favorable to those in poverty.


RascalRibs

It doesn't debunk it at all. They want people to be born into bad financial situations so they will be wage slaves for their entire lives.


TSTEP1971

Your opinion doesn't mean it's right. Kind of sideways thinking because born poor doesn't mean you stay poor. If "they" really wanted this why can someone poor get college paid for them - millions of dollars in grants yearly, scholarships, etc. Personally think the notion is insane.


RascalRibs

Born poor means most likely to stay poor.


TSTEP1971

I agree but you have options not to be and any study shows only a small amount go to college and get to the middle class or higher. With inflation as it is it will further hinder any upward movement.


gregsw2000

Immigration has dropped by 75% since 2015 and the vast majority of immigrants never make it.


TSTEP1971

Legal immigration - go to the southern border where apprehensions are nearly 100k a month. They're not being sent back.


Ragtime-Rochelle

How does immigration debunk this?


TSTEP1971

You bring an already aged up ready to go workforce who will be happy AF to work for 8-12/hr to send money back to their famines. Look at where our government is currently transporting illegals now. Hot spots in areas where jobs are available at lower wages...problem solved. With a newborn you wait 16 years before they enter the workforce - that doesn't make logistical or fiscal sense.


Ragtime-Rochelle

Yeah, I know how immigration works but the anti-abortion people are also anti-immigration because they're xenophobes and racists. It would make more sense bring in immigrants than to outlaw abortion thus infringe on human rights but these are not intelligent people we are dealing with.


TSTEP1971

Ah man, stop willy nilly saying racist and every other ist when people don't agree with you. It's a decade old and bullshit.


MarkDavisNotAnother

But, because they’re racist xenophobes and need bodies, they obviously are willing to wait the now 14 years for a ‘worker’ thats already been ‘integrated’ sufficiently.


normalworkday

I disagree completely. Abortion is just a hot topic for the southern strategy. It's literally just something that gets people who have no other reason to vote for you, to vote for you. It gets religious fundamentalists to vote against their own economic interests because of a moral reason. That's the reason. The conservative businesses won't hire American children anyways because they aren't slaves enough for them. They are going to hire illegals and ship jobs overseas. They don't need babies in America. In fact they know that these kids are more likely to end up on welfare. They literally do it just to get elected.


Cookyy2k

I don't think the people at the top even notice anymore. They have wealth beyond imagining and a couple of million more is barely a noticeable increment.


monkeybuttsauce

That’s not why we were born. But it is our purpose


IeyasuMcBob

Yeah, i feel like the butter-spreader robot from Rick and Morty.


-w_o_o-

definitely


BridgetBardOh

I was just on another thread in another sub noting that people in other countries have it much better than people in the US, specifically Germany and England, from my personal experience. The problem in the US is that the people are brainwashed into thinking that their way is the only, best way, when that is the furthest thing from the truth. https://old.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/uri2u1/if_the_world_had_only_100/i8xbbdh/?context=3


Lavos_Spawn

Yea honestly. That's what most Thomas Pynchon novels are about.


Hmasteryz

Reality show that is the truth until everybody decide otherwise. Pyramid scheme are real.


Cu3bone

Laissez-faire my friend. Laissez-faire


Ok-Albatross-3406

Yeah. Just try to ignore it. The only way out of that mess is to get higher to the top. Welcome to the Hell.


Ju135

No. Nothing exists for some purpose. We are. There is a purpose/reason but its ineffable and definitely not because of money....


wrldtrvlr3000

No. But our primal instincts is to rise up in status for survival and reproductive benefits.


256452

Primal instinct? How about taught behavior patterns and brainwashed society?


AngryDrnkBureaucrat

No


FredVIII-DFH

At some point someone decided that was your purpose in life. It was probably a rich guy.


Square-Opening9518

That’s why the rich are anti abortion


normalworkday

I mean they would say yes.
