I don't like helping people.

On that medicine track, but born poorfag with no way to get out of sinkhole. Literally can not get into debt for school and I can't pay for it as is obvs, so I rely solely on financial aid. Might be forced to go to a TWC to live with some relatives and finish school.

>mfw TWCfags trying to come to America for opportunities but I'm doing the exact opposite

The other option is crime which I'm entirely aware is filled with just as many traps. You have made me this way, America.

Lawsuit culture, needing to interact with people aside from fixing them with tools.

Stressful.

If millenials get their way, the healthcare system may get nationalized soon, which lead me to be concerned about the financial stability of the healthcare industry. Also, I hardly trust myself with my own health, why would I trust myself to be responsible foe someone elses?

There is no labor shortage or skills gap, it is all corporate propaganda to keep the visa workers and immigration flood gates open. We need to deport all illegals and visa workers and indefinitely halt all future immigration. Doing so would raise wages across the board, lower the cost of housing, and lower worker compliance since the labor market would be shifted heavily in the favor of workers. Employers would be forced to train their workers themselves again. Notice how neither party is for complete deportation and halting of immigration which is the one policy that would help most people in the US more than any other

Medical demand is inflated due to so many in the US being unhealthy. I would like a study, I estimate 50% of non-dentistry and non-plastic surgery medical demand is due to people being overweight and/or living a sedentary lifestyle. Every single time I go to my yearly checkup at my heart doctor the lobby is filled with a bunch of fat people and older people that obviously don't take care of themselves.

this is all shit that happens *because* there's a labor shortage.

>There is no labor shortage or skills gap, it is all corporate propaganda to keep the visa workers and immigration flood gates open.

so you're saying that the labor shortage is a lie, but we should make it real?

Yes, so wages can have some real growth, housing can go down, to encourage companies to start training again, and so workers don't have to be so compliant. I do not care about companies having maximum profit.

Landscaping might have some problems without visa workers, but the only people that benefit from landscaping businesses are the owners themselves, visa workers subsidize them. There are plenty of goods and services that are not made anymore because it is not economically viable, should all of those be subsidized too? Door to door milk delivery in glass probably isn't profitable anymore even if the employees were all paid minimum wage. Some company, I can't remember which exactly, stopped producing high end Blu-ray players, should whatever country that company is in subsidize them so they can keep making them? The only reason landscaping might be a problem is because in the US you can be fined for not mowing your lawn which can be easily fixed by making it so you can't be fined for not having your lawn mowed.

Automation is supposed to remove tens of millions of jobs from market in a few years, self driving cars alone are supposed to remove millions. Whatever jobs are left will pay less, even programmers and engineers. Every extra person you take in now is going to make the damage done that much worse.

Higher wages would probably make automation happen faster, but it is going to happen anyway. Fast food jobs where I live pay a dollar or so above the state minimum wage, but after the 2008 crash when they were only minimum wage, self serving kiosks were being made anyways. Minimum wage could be half of what it is now and they would still automate as much as possible. Some study in the UK found officie workers were only productive 2 something hours out of their 8 hour shift. Many manufacturing positions can already be eliminated right now through improving the process, using different materials, or with automation.

As someone who cares about workers having as high of a standard of living as possible, I do not want all positions to be filled, in fact I want even more positions to be unfilled.

for someone who believes that automation will destroy jobs, you've come to a very strange conclusion. you're talking like jobs are the only relevant resource and people need to be reduced to match the supply.

the debate around how automation will affect the job market has mostly been either "new jobs will be created like with the industrial revolution, business as usual" or "everything will be so cheap that society will change it's relationship with work and push UBI or some other scheme". I haven't heard much of this worst of both worlds where everything is done by robots so we have to hunker down and ration out our limited respectable places in society.
