Probabaly not, but it's virtually free.
.And no undocumented worker has anything to do with writing for publication.

So lashing out at other poor people is fucked up.
They create scarcity, which drives up prices. They displace labor and cause wage contraction, which diminishes the pool of potential clientele. They're a net drain on resource infrastructure which is needed by disadvantaged American citizens.

I have zero patience, and zero tolerance, for any of this "class warfare" shit coming from people who defend a factor that makes things worse for the most vulnerable among U.S. citizens.

My trade is freelance writer/editor. Competition helps, rather than hinders, that trade.

Tell me about honesty. Do. Tell me all about how you haven't been screaming at the top of your lungs because wasteful shit is getting the axe.

Come on. I want to see you lie about that.
AI 'writing' will never be as good as the real thing.
AI writing sucks. What on Earth do you think Trump or Musk are going to do to help create work for you? Jesus Christ, Q. You have got to be kidding. Musk loves when AI takes over a working stiff's job. Trump can't read, so he doesn't care about your profession.

My definition of wasteful shit and yours are different. I don't think having enough employees in social security offices to take care of business is wasteful. I do think giving government contracts worth billions to defense contractors who charge 1000 bucks for a screwdriver is wasteful.

This is all bullshit.

Americans don't want the jobs they take. Employers want people that will work harder, faster, more efficiently and without the bs of calling out sick...They WORK.

Now, they're working. In a previous post they were freeloading.

And yet, they're still not the reason you've been displaced.

Class warfare has been happening. It cones from the top down, fool.

Employers don't want people they have to pay legal wages to. "Americans don't want those jobs"? Americans can't get those jobs because the employers hiring legal don't want to pay the legal minimum wage for the labor.

That's on the employers' for breaking wage laws; it's also on people who come here unlawfully for taking those jobs, and there's enough left over for administrations that wouldn't do shit about it.

Okay, your monomania is cute and all, but for fuck's sake, find any other angle, just once. Let me see you make one post on politics where you don't fall into a helpless ad hominem screaming fit.

Just for the pure fucking novelty of it, if nothing else.

Sorry, but they pay illegal workers $35/hr in CA to pick wine grapes because Americans won't do it at $50/hr.

Facts.

Americans are used to sitting in front of a screen.

What? Yeah, sure. You, on the other hand, are going through this all with eyes wide open. At least, that's what you tell yourself. You are one useful idiot.

BTW, answer the question. What, exactly, will they do to open up an income stream for actual writers?

Again -- for the eleventy-billionteenth fucking time -- I wrote in joke names, because the election was a fucking joke.

It was a contest between Biff Tannen and The Joker. So I wrote in 'Neil B. Formi' for President.
Good for you. Why are you on here every day defending the joker and his puppet master? Is it because you want to see the country collapse? Do you think that will curtail the encroachment of AI on real writing?

Minimum wage is $16/hr, maybe $17

There aren't legal wages for specific jobs, what are you talking about?

Maybe California vintners won't hire Americans because they don't feel confident that they can get away with treating American employees like shit.

And maybe their tendency to treat employees like shit is a factor in why Americans wouldn't want to work for them.

Maybe because slack-jawed cult members like yourself are constantly on the attack from a place of ignorance coupled with hostility toward Americans who want to see themselves represented by government for a change.

For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction.

Hi. I'm the equal and opposite reaction.

$129k in back wages in a industry worth billions?

What a joke. I'm sure there are wineries that take advantage of illegal labor.


For the most part, they can't find legal workers to do the jobs.

Why do you deny reality?

You know, I have never been represented in the US government. Why are you such a special victim? I mean you are the biggest snowflake on here. Always crying about how bad you've got it, and blaming fellow working class Americans who are liberal for your woes. Not once have you admitted to the simple FACT that most of your woes have been created because the oligarchy has been given carte blanche in the US.

Gaslighting. "Stop speaking up! Stop objecting!"

Fuck you.

'Admitted'? And who is 'the oligarchy'? Define your term.

Honey, look up the term "oligarchy" and then apply some simple logic to how the US government works. I hope you have enough cells in your brain pan to figure it out.

You're the one claiming there's an oligarchy. Name the groups or individuals you contend are part of it.

Fuck, I'm not even asking you to prove your claim, it's absolutely not asking too much to ask you to specify it.
