That’s just getting pedantic about the meaning of “fault”.
Take the immigrant part out.
Two, 6th generation USA homegrown workers, one from California, one from Texas.
Job is in Cali, min wage 16.50/hr, leave out living expenses.
Texas min wage is 7.25 so Texan tells employer he’ll take 10/hr because he needs money.
Is it the Texan’s “fault” a Californian job was taken, or is it the mechanism (or lack of enforcement) that allowed him to be hired in the first place, for less than state required min-wage, that’s the underlying fault?
You can try to get pedantic about the meaning of “fault” I suppose, but to me that’s just a distraction to skip the point, and enable vilification of Texans.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If video games actually determined our real world behavior, we wouldn't be violent, we would be obsessed with powerwashing and all have CDLs.

Yestersay I saw some prick comments about the no kings march in the YouTube comment section. Clicked the user. Only one playlist. An Andrea Bocelli album.

Processes for Cheese? Sour dough? Beer? As if these were invented by normies, amirite?

Right wing racist pussies - yes please!If peeps thought cops had a chip on their shoulder for being bullied in high school for being pillow-biters, ICE is a step below them, in the worse way.
I think they should remove Aspergers from the autism umbrella. It’s clearly advanced or evolutionary, not a negative syndrome. I know, some won’t have excuses to make anymore, but that’s probably a good thing.
I mean… Really? You bothered to respond with, that?
You know, I joke around on the internet a bit. I have no real bias towards any group (I believe) unless warranted by the groups actions towards others.
Sometimes I like to call out bias or bullshit if it seems warranted.
But you caught my interest.
And hey hey hey hey hold on, don’t dismiss this. Here’s an opportunity to express your feelings.Lemmy isn’t Reels, or TikTok, full of bots and comment farm responses… (yet at least).
Anyway I wanna ask you if you don’t mind, what’s your age?
And if your age is over 21 (we’ll make it US voting age), Why did you respond with this?
What triggered your response, that is, how did it make you feel and why?
Why do you think telling someone that they’re “jealous” in this day and age would affect me, or others that might read this thread?
Appreciate your response.
I’d like to know who’s cat-calling you.

See, Larry Ellison owns about 98% of the island of Lanai. He’s got a bunker there.
Zuckerberg also owns property on Lanai, has a bunker there (a Lanai local told me), in addition to his ranch on Kauai.
Peter Thiel, probably similar. Musk, similar… Oprah, etc.
So we’ll get you the GoFundMe money, but we have a mission for you…

Nah, not for me. He’s just a guy who needs a job.
I don’t blame AI for simply existing when it takes our jobs either. It’s the employer who chooses to use AI instead of humans that is at fault.
