    If you think that Windows 7 was overrated, you’re naive and completely oblivious to the state of Windows during that era. XP came out in 2001 and Vista in 2007, during a time personal computer improvements were exploding. That’d be like 20 years nowadays. Vista was a bloated and slow mess that even modern hardware could barely run efficiently. Windows 7 righted the wrongs and made massive performance improvements that Vista lacked, and not just for modern hardware at the time, but legacy hardware was revived.

    Arguing that Windows 7 doesn’t support modern hardware is so asinine and a straw-man argument. No one was making an argument that Windows 7 is a good OS today, not a single person. What we are arguing is that every OS since 7 has been a half-baked mess with tons of bugs and annoyances.

    “I don’t see anything it does better than w11”. You think the lack of unified interface is equal to windows 7? You think the disaster of a start menu is equal to windows 7? You think forced updates is better? You think the abundance of telemetry is better?

    Honestly, have you even used Windows 7?

    Holy, straw man argument much? You took one sentence, misinterpreted it, and spiraled it into a complete made-up narrative.

    My only point is flooding the market with cheap labor has a ripple effect that brings down wages as a whole, not just for those being exploited. Nothing I said suggests that immigrants are to blame by “taking our jobs”.

    TFWs aren’t the only way immigrants are being exploited, that is short sighted. There’s also PGWP propped up by phony trade schools and community colleges. TFWs give capitalists leverage, but it’s not the whole problem.

    You do realize that these things go hand in hand, no? Capitalists needwant cheap labor, so they exploit immigrants, in turn driving down wages for everyone.

    Edit: I received some criticism as though I’m suggesting “immigrants are taking our jobs” - that’s wrong. I’m only saying that capitalists are exploiting a vulnerable population, which in turn creates more wage stagnation as the market is flooded with cheap labour.

    I’m very pro-immigration, but I try to understand the nuance it has on the job market.___
