  • The harder it is to claim asylum, the more likely it is that someone comes over illegally. The harsher the laws are about illegal immigrants, the easier it is to deport them. The easier it is to deport them, the more that the Bourgeoisie can force them to work in dangerous and unsanitary conditions for less money. If the migrants ever try to report it, “somebody” makes an anonymous call to ICE, and the employer pays a few thousand dollars in fines, and hires a new batch of migrants. And there are special visas available to the people who blow the whistle, but who wants to bring that down on their coworkers? So there’s a chilling effect.

    It happens a lot in the meat packing industry. Look up Koch Foods in Mississippi in 2018 if you want an example.














  • Most of the “stuff everyone should buy” is stuff you really don’t need as a teenager, like cast-iron cookware or a stand mixer. If you have hobbies you want to pursue, you should find a specific group around that hobby and ask them. A lot of black Friday “deals” aren’t really deals, though - some companies will actually produce lower quality product lines specifically for black Friday sales, so if you end up buying something big like a TV or something like that make sure you do a little research.

    If you want general financial advice, I wouldn’t put it in a retirement account like the other guy said. You have plenty of time for that, and you probably have milestones coming up that you’ll want money for - buying a car, graduation celebrations, going to college, getting your own place, whatever. So saving it for that kind of stuff is never a bad idea.
