@pawb.socialGood Old Projection: The Republicans are already using X to cheat the election and they don't want competition.
They don't have to because the domestic manufacturers are already in bed with the oil industry. They could make cheap EVs, they just don't want to.
And before you say: Oh but they couldn't because China's cheap labour and poor regulations... Well what stops a company like GM from making cheap EVs in China and selling them elsewhere? They already have plants there and in many other countries with cheap labour and poor regulations.
Face eating leopard says they have to continue eating faces because there is nothing else to eat.
It's because this fight isn't about the EVs themselves, it's about the oil industry needing to stop the transportation industry from moving away from fossil fuels at all costs to keep their extremely profitable cartel afloat.
This is why they want TFWs: they can't quit and will do almost anything to avoid being fired because they risk being deported. Modern day slavery.
To be a successful CEO at this level you need to have zero morals and be the most sociopathic person society has to offer. It really tracks when you see stories like this.
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.
My high school biology teacher told us about how when his wife was pregnant he started taking hormones to lactate so he could breast feed his newborn child.
