They pay just enough to survive, but not enough to plan for the future, improve your position in life, or be finacially stable enough to be a thoughtcrime troublemaker.

Fixing the environment is no more complicated then making our products in our own countries and paying appropriate wages.
Instead we let China pollute the planet with coal power plants and ships that pollute.
They make the crap, make slave wages, amazon flys it over and makes all the $$$. You should get excited about that.
It's almost like buying products from slaves in Asia and transporting them across the ocean is bad for the planet and the citizens of the planet.
It doesn't matter who wins the elections, they have a guaranteed inside track.
It's just theater.
Anyone that is thinking of depending of govt for your long term financial stability, should consider if the most important vulnerable years in their lives, should depend on random govt employees and funds invested in politicians friends scams.
Recent immigrants are fertile territory. They don't know the laws really and are just so happy to have a job in the new country etc. They will put up with a lot of unpaid overtime.
Own nothing (rent it from us) and be happy with your new life as a serf.
Sign up a youngster for a small fee. Scan the shit out of his body, voice etc.
Free actor for life.
Kid gets $500 lifetime payment.
Movies will be made more and more with this tech to save $$ on casts.
There is already so much noise pretending to be news that few people pay attention anymore to the media.
Just another version of click bait.
Most trades in Canada are max tax rate, because the max tax rate kicks in at extremely low levels compared to USA.
Also in the area where I live, most home trade jobs are done with as much cash as possible to avoid taxes.
The pay cash tax savings is greater then any bank financing.
When you pay 50% income taxes you can see that the incentive to work cash is much much greater then formal financing.
If a car repair was going to cost $1000, the tradesperson keeps $500 after tax. He's better off to offer you $750 cash. Take $500 now (he's paid up).
Then if he still collects the $250 cash that's pure bonus.
I didn't even factor in the 20% sales taxes on the work the buyer would have to pay.
All I can say is don't try to expand to a newly third world country like Canada. I just can't see it working here.
Often a tradesperson can secure a lien on a property as part of their permit for that job.
If the tradesperson gets paid,then the security on the debt/loan is gone.
In my own case of endless home renovation, a bigger issue is you have to front the workman etc the $$$ to buy the supplies/lumber/etc.
Amazon knows it takes govt decades to catch up with laws. Subcontract out all the really nasty business so they can pretend they know nothing.
Cognitive dissonance. Populations doesn't know what to think anymore if they think at all.
