I know a 68 year old man who runs a small farm, does contract work for other farmers, works continental shifts at a paper mill and will take on all the overtime that he can get. Yet the farm is paid off, he's got all kinds of money and his wife is pissed that he won't slow down, let alone stop. Why does he do it? He loves to work. I worked with him for years and he's said to me, more than once, what a great day for working.
People have different motivations in life. I'd never work like this guy, especially if I had his money, and I liked working, but to each his own. It's sad if they have to work but that's as much the fault of the new dynamics of family life. At one time, the elderly would be looked after by their family. Now, we expect it from the government and they don't care about the individual, not like a family member would or should.

He didn't say that he fired the locals unless they weren't doing their jobs. Also, we don't know if the Haitians are getting lower wages or not. What he DID say is that they show up everyday and they do their job. They're productive. The company makes NOTHING if their worker doesn't show. It's why the company that I worked at payed higher wages. They hoped that they could attract the best in town that way and it worked, somewhat. It also caused a lot of workers to take time off because they now could afford to take it off because they could make enough in 4 days to get by.
Do you know how one gets people to listen to you? STOP complaining. People don't take complainers seriously. The only reaction you'll get is a big eye-roll and a "here we go again" response. If you're not known as a complainer and a hard worker, who shows up everyday and on time, they will listen because you DO have something to say. That you're just not whining because that's what you do. I used to hear them complaining everyday. Besides, you don't get respect just because you exist. You earn it by your actions and attitude.
I can't speak to what's going on in Iowa but if immigration is a problem, then talk to your political reps. If you don't hear what you want to hear, TELL them that you'll not vote for them next election. They listen to that, every time.
I hate the mass immigration, that we're seeing now and it's hurting us in ways that we can't even imagine. But, to whine that the company isn't giving you stuff, you'd better realise that it's as much your own fault as it is theirs. I've worked in factories since the early seventies and the people that I worked with back then, the men and women from my parent's generation, didn't complain like everyone does today. They showed up, didn't shirk and many worked 2 jobs because they saw a chance to get ahead and took it. That's what the Mexicans are doing and they're getting the jobs that the locals complain about.

It's like YOU are the one who didn't read MY post. I told you about the company that I worked for, which is one of the highest paying companies in town. They couldn't get employees. I told you that. There is another factory who pays more than than the one that I work at and THEY have trouble getting workers. The highest paying factory in our town. I don't know where else I'd go to find better. The stories I hear are all the same. It's too hot. They don't like shift work. They find it boring. The boss is an a-hole. It hurts my back. My head hurts. It goes on and on. One guy said he thought that I was in the mafia or something because, although we were paid the same, I was buying a house and he couldn't even save enough for a down payment. I did it but he couldn't...but he took days off all the time. I told him to take out a savings plan that was available and the company would match it but he wouldn't. I'm now retired for 4 years, living a great life and he's still there, complaining about everything, taking days off and still just as broke and he can't figure out why.
This didn't happen to my parent's generation. They would work 2 jobs, pinch pennies until the Lincoln screamed "OUCH" and made wise decisions. The work was just as hot, the shifts were just as long and round the clock, the bosses were just as big an a-holes, the work was still boring but they did it and did their best. Not like the ones that you're talking about....doing shitty work and blowing off. When you do that, you'll end up nowhere.

She's saying it because the Palestinian supports REFUSE to acknowledge that Israeli women had that done to them on Oct. 7th. She saying that if they had that done to them, their attitude would be a lot different. She could have expressed it better but it was in the heat of the moment and that's what happens when emotions take over your mouth.
If Jewish fighters had crossed into Gaza, in a surprise attack and then raped Palestinian women and then paraded them through the streets of Israel, we'd never hear the end of it from feminist groups. However, that WAS done to Israeli women. They were raped and then paraded, some half naked, through Gazan streets, while Palestinians citizens cheered, waved flags and then SPIT on those unfortunate young women. That's why this woman, this writer, was so angry. Palestinian protesters, through their silence on this matter, are tacitly complicit in this horrific action. This writer's tirade is taken out of context.
