You vastly overestimate the number of people who would choose higher prices in order to support higher wages. Vastly. I mean you almost sound crazy the idea is so out there. I wish you you were right though FWIW.

As a whole, society rewards the lowest acceptable quality at the lowest possible price. It's called capitalism and it is, in fact, the direct cause of the in progress collapse of civilization. And there's nothing you can do to stop it, because your neighbor will still happily line up for 15 minutes to get a lukewarm, incompletely cut bagel with 98% of the cream cheese on one side, with a mediocre coffee, served by a temporary foreign worker.

It's not the immigrants/TFWs, it never was, it never will be.

I agree with you but lets be fair here prices are going to go up regardless. in fact they have gone up regardless of the fact the majority of fast food places are now run by TFWs. But I feel like it's either one excuse over another "prices have gone up because you won't allow us to use TFWs" or "prices have gone up because of something else even though every store is now 100% TFW."

Nobody here is blaming the immigrants.

It's the abusive bosses who are using (and abusing) TFWs to suppress wages who are at fault.

Fair enough, that was more of a screaming info the void kind of statement for any MAGA/Maple MAGA chuds who might be reading

You will still be banned on Reddit for pointing it out though. Say immigrants are being exploited? BANNED.

Depends where on reddit. There are still plenty of left leaning spaces over there.

I was also talking about left leaning spaces. /r/canada mods for example support mass immigration, and will ban you if you mention immigrants are being exploited, or companies are doing shit like Timmies is.

R/Canada is about as far from a "left leaning space" as there is.

/r/onguardforthee is much more centered and there is regularly more nuanced discussion about immigration and the TFW program without the banhammer swinging around.

Permbanned from there, and called a basement dwelling incel by the mods in a comment, and immediately accused of harassment when questioning the ban (I asked in a comment in some thread why the government isn't investing into healthcare, this was during initial time when COVID vaccines were first being distributed).

And /r/canada:

BTW, I still post on both of these using alts now, lol.
