I glanced through that Economist article about how zoomers are richer, and the meat of it seems to be that they are doing better.... than millennials. And this despite (or because of?) the fact no one wants to work anymore (have a good work life balance).
A couple of quotes.

I also enjoyed this graph which supports generation X being the slacker generation.



so gen x was the only generation who’s parents economic circumstances were stable enough not to shove them into the workforce at the earliest opportunity?

How would the cartels feel about that? My guess is the cartels like the current status quo.

It's unironically a shame that liberals, including the lib-left can only engage with this in terms of No Body is Illegal or whatever, rather than seeing what's actually going on here.

The Left Case against Open Borders

This is an important topic that will get lost in this thread, too bad the immigration thread is defunct

IMO the main problem with this piece is it ignores the reality that we are and will continue to see large scale mass migration into the west over the next few decades no matter what policy the "left" decides. It's already happening and will continue to happen on ever larger scales, climate change ensures this without even accounting for globalization. The only question is whether these migrants are treated humanely or declared illegal.

It's also disingenuous to say conservatives love immigration as a weapon against labour. They absolutely do for all the reasons the author summarizes, but what conservatives love much more is the current situation of mass migration WITHOUT legal status. That's far more corrosive to labour than treating migrants humanely and letting them work legally. As mentioned we are getting mass migration no matter what, it's not up for debate, and these are the two options.

In particular this part annoyed me:

quote:

With respect to illegal immigration, the Left should support efforts to make E-Verify mandatory and push for stiff penalties on employers who fail to comply. Employers, not immigrants, should be the primary focus of enforcement efforts. These employers take advantage of immigrants who lack ordinary legal protections in order to perpetuate a race to the bottom in wages while also evading payroll taxes and the provision of other benefits. Such incentives must be eliminated if any workers are to be treated fairly.
This is not going address the reality of desperate migrants having to do anything to survive, illegal or not. Frankly it comes across as clueless, like thinking you can win the drug war by only arresting dealers or whatever.

Nagle's point is that "treating migrants humanely" is tantamount to letting the country be flooded with surplus labor that will destroy the domestic working class. Yeah no poo poo people are going to push back against that. It's bad enough that there's a housing shortage in most American cities as it stands, while no one wants to build an adequate supply necessary to match the population growth.

Declaring migrants illegal while letting businesses exploit them by violating the laws is the worst of both worlds and not what Nagle is proposing. Hell, you just admitted it yourself - you don't like her method of cracking down on businesses trying to exploit under the table migrants. Failing that, all you have is the option of accepting mass migrants which has the inevitable impact of suppressing wages and degrading quality of life here. Not a very popular stance electorally

you should inform HR right away and promise to give back every last penny of unearned wages you've stolen from the shareholders

failure to do so is not only violating their sovereign self-determination fiduciary experiences and hurting the poor, but it is a crime. shame on you for cashing the paycheck
