They do if you own shares of their stock.

I mean this in the most respectful way possible but what you just said there sounds kinda lefty. Like, commie lefty. Why should corporations share with anyone outside of the ownership?
It sounds lefty for corporations to pay their people well? Give them good benefits and retirement options? OK I guess I’m lefty.

The shortest path for workers to get a better shake is labor organizing. We are all well aware who lobbies our Congresspeople, and it ain't the labor unions doing most of it. We will be waiting forever if we wait for Congress to make corporations "give" labor a better deal. Doesn't mean it's not worth courting them but it's not the straightest path.

Labor unions do quite a bit of lobbing. The problem is they don’t have the bulk of the money. politicians are for sale, and even when they take money from the labor unions, they stab them in the back more often than not. There are some exceptions to that rule, but they are a few and far between.

Maybe but I don’t know about calling onlyfans and gig work entrepreneurship. Forced never ending. servitude would be more appropriate name.

Only Fans and freelance workers would receive a 1099 for income earned. They wouldn't necessarily need a tax id number to operate, only report money received as income and pay appropriate taxes and withholdings.

I see the toe the line Democrats are pushing the lie that importing cheap immigrant labor is good for Americans.

I wonder if they know it's a lie?
They add value to our overall economy. We are all better off for it.

Immigrants don’t “poison the blood” of our country, they refresh it. It’s incumbent on Congress to fix the chaos.

They've pissed down your back and told you it was raining and you believed them.
The level of moaning and crying and gnashing of teeth after the reality sets in when every last migrant worker has been removed from our country would easily match those of Trump’s whining about the “stolen” election. Migrant workers literally save our asses and you can’t see through your sheer hatred.

Y’all would be crying that grocery prices were CRAZY. That you couldn’t afford that roof repair! They “nobody wants to work anymore!” It’s so predictable.

Nonsense.
We already have a temporary migrant worker program to legally use these unskilled farm migrants seasonally.

You are trying to equate that to tens of millions of illegals invading our country.

It is a very dishonest defense of Democrats' open border policies.
