This is what a highly homogeneous society is like:
Every time after Russian bombings of Ukrainian cities, particularly Kyiv, in the morning, you see shop windows, cafes, pizzerias, restaurants, and delivery services shattered by debris and shockwaves — and yet there is absolutely no looting.
None at all.
And the morning after those sleepless nights under attacks, baristas still come to their damaged coffee shops — and their regular customers still come to get their coffee to support their favorite businesses and, in general, to continue living a normal life with the new morning, no matter what.https://x.com/IAPonomarenko/status/1941062391938101573?t=kTwWL81ARl8ZVOKS885Z1Q&s=19
When social cohesion and homogeneity are being sacrificed, it should be for something that is really worth it. It can’t be so that Big Agriculture can underpay workers.
Russia is as multiethnic as Ukraine isn’t, and this is one of the reasons why they’ll never be at peace.

Sometimes the scam and displacement is more than just Big Agriculture, The berry harvest in the Fraser Valley was once dependable additional income for local women, a majority of whom were native Indians. But Pakistani contractors undercut prices by paying immigrants poor wages but providing false records allowing access to the uppermost rate of Unemployment Insurance payment. Everybody loses including the taxpayer, only the contractors, and possibly some of the farmers, stand to gain.

Absolutely! The idea that it’s just so completely and utterly impossible to harvest without bringing in an army of illegals is nuts.any countries managed it throughout history and are managing it at the moment. Ukraine is managing it in wartime. Enough lies, enough excuses.

yeah, every time the ‘ag workers’ thing comes up, I just scratch my head. My parents in their boho hippie days made ends meet picking apples. I still can’t figure out how those jobs were a-ok for Americans, pretty essential for a lot of them, in the 70s, but now we need tons of migrant foreign labor for that? Were people starving in the 70s because food was too expensive?

Yeah that was the first ever period of stagflation where wages and employment dropped even as prices increased, and we were newly weds ;-D

And yet, here we are again: stagnant wages, screamingly high housing prices, inflation dragging at all the essential things: groceries, used cars, parts, materials…
Can’t figure out why this time around, those jobs are apparently sacred to foreign peasants.

This is not my first rodeo. and while history might not repeat, it sure as hell rhymes ;-D
That was why I said “the first ever period of stagflation”, no economists reeally understood it. Factors included manufacturing slowing down as the Vietnam War ended, OPEC increading the price of energy creating inflationary pressure, and as times got ever harder, more housewives rejoined the workplace suppresing wages.
Well, I can see the patterns growing over the last decade or so, and we had better pray that Trump understands it too.

My grandfather, dad, brother, sister, and I all worked on farms during the summers during college. It was a reasonably common job for young people until everyone was propagandized to believe it was only for stupid people who couldn’t do anything else.

I keep seeing on local discussion forums that people are eager for jobs that higher teenagers. I find it very hard to believe that there are truly no Americans for these jobs.

Kid, many of those jobs were always basically for teenagers, they were not to provide enough to raise a family. There was a reason why I stopped working as a ranch hand and went roughnecking — the heavy gold necessary for university ;-D

God bless you for using the word “homogeneous” correctly. Most people nowadays substitute “homogenous,” apparently unaware that the two words do not mean the same thing.

Thank you, but I also have very strong opinions re: the word aluminium, and that makes me less endearing to Americans.

The easiest way to be homogeneous is to be small. If you want to be big, you either need a high degree of federalism or a totalitarian dictatorship.
