Middle Class Jobs Are Vanishing

[@Amberabove]

More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.

[@wmwoods-l4f]

The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.

[@Jpoteete]

This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

The only problem here is that offshore jobs have existed for 30+ years since the internet was a thing. Most companies try it for a few years, realize the quality is garbage (you get what you pay for) and then return to hiring Americans. It sounds like the companies you worked for are about 20-30 years late to the game. Just wait a few years and either the company as a whole will be far less or they will need to do an about face and hire to backfill.

The American Corporations hate paying American workers, but they want to make top dollar off of the Economy. The balance is broken and it's obvious that Tariffs were needed long ago. Government trusted business not to get greedy.

[@dazlederose]

While tariffs are levied on imports, the cost is ultimately passed down to consumers. Importers raise prices to account for the additional expense, leading to higher prices on everyday goods like electronics, clothing, and food. When an imported product is subject to a tariff, the importer (such as a retailer or manufacturer) pays the tax. To cover these costs, the importer raises the price of the product sold to consumers. For example, if a $100 product faces a 25% tariff, it now costs $125, and the extra $25 burden falls on the buyer. So how are Tariffs going to help? This is why it is important to understand how Tariffs work.

[@Veganisbadhunter-wx5nt]

Illegal immigrants do not have debt like US college kids with student loan debt. These illegals can work for cheaper because they have no debt obligations. 2nd illegal immigrants are sent to Democrat stronghold big cities like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago.... because these cities are losing population. People want to leave these liberal high cost of living cities. But, the Democrats in Congress, House of Representatives are based on population. If people are leaving these states, these states will lose seats in the House of Representatives so bringing in illegals will help replace the loss of population and seats in Congress. This is why Biden is allowing illegals into America.
