Similarly, as people pay Coyotes about $8,000 each to get help getting to the U.S., that $8,000 each is helping out the GDPs of Mexico and other nations that house the cartels increase.
This is why I DO NOT UNDERSTAND our nation's great romance with capitalism
as we practice it now. It's been a great evil in many ways from the very start, which is why some professors very much want Black History taught in all high schools, or a REVISED version of U.S. History to
show all the years of exploitation.
Just LOOK at the cycle of Organized Crime that compels people to try to get into the U.S.:
Step 1 - let the gangs take over the country. Politicians says, "I'm getting paid so f*** the peons."
Step 2 - Gangs terrorize the peons and demand "taxes" or they will rape your daughter or burn down your business, or both.
Can NEVER satisfy the tax because there will always be a NEW way to terrorize victims.
Step 3 - Victims want to leave so gangs demand $8,000 to "help" them. Do they have exclusive knowledge of routes out? Maybe. Depends on if there is any cell service at all in corrupt nations. Depends on if the ignorant poor person knows how to get maps, cellphone, use cellphone, etc., etc. Depends on if the gang controls every mile of the route.
Step 4 - Transport "peons" to U.S., with "taxes" charged along the way and threats of harm or just plain old rape without reason at all, and when they get there, arrange to have them pay the gangs what they owe them via wire transfers they can do at any Walmart. Or via all these sad apps.
Step 5: Both liberals and conservatives welcome all the cheap labor, any labor, because so many U.S. kids don't want to work at McDonalds for the next 10 years. So many U.S. kids don't want to be CNAs for the next 15 years. Business welcomes the labor because rest home owners very much want to pay CNAs
as little as possible and who will better accept that than an abused rape survivor from Guatemala or Haiti who has been beaten down by gang members before she got to the States? Those gang members can keep on threatening her here too. They can find her.
U.S. business basically use those gang threats to keep labor wages low.
I've heard the Evangelicals say for YEARS that "God is going to crush American because of the evil of abortion!" No. If their version of "God" crushes America,
it will be because of this evil I have just described here.
But don't even look at America from the Evangelical's perspective - just look America from the difference of what our founding documents say, what the Bill of Rights says, verses how American business REALLY works.
Put it in Psychology terms: This is the Victim - Persecutor - Rescuer Triangle set up between nations and organized crime.
There is a ton of information about this unhealthy, conflict-filled triangle out there. Here is just one site:
Escaping Conflict and the Karpman Drama Triangle.
*(Caviat: I only chose this BPD site because I liked how it discussed the Karpman Triangle. I do not knowingly know anyone with BPD, nor have I ever been diagnosed with it myself. However I do know of someone is a Dr. Jekyll/ Mr Hyde and that is my ex. But I don't know his formal diagnoses because I'm not a psychologist and he always refused to go to therapy because he is "perfect" in every way.)
One important point on this site is this:
"Who Wins in a Karpman Drama Triangle"
"Typically no one. If we’re in a drama triangle, what we’re getting is drama. The price we pay is not getting what we truly want or need."
Whenever I criticize capitalism the way 'Murica does it, I think some people hear me saying, "I want all you rich people to be POOR!" That is not what I'm saying.
What I'm saying is, "There is no good or decent reason why the nation has to be in SO MUCH PAIN with young people flocking to anything that makes them feel better, young people wishing Boomers would just hurry up and die, and seeing little but lives full of despair before them.
Can the very wealthy perceive that if your earnings drop because you have to pay 10% or 15% in taxes, that will NOT make you suffer. And do the ultra-wealthy even know what real suffering is? Have any of these wealthy men lived with a broken arm for three days w/o treatment, or been in 12 hours of childbirth labor w/o painkillers? Or even been forced to make a choice to shop for clothes at the Goodwill because you can only spend $5 on a shirt?"
So many of these wealthy men - they don't know what genuine suffering is, but they cry out as if they do. They are VERY good at outcry. That's one thing I have noticed about the wealthy - so many of them are so good at SUCKING all the air out of the room. They even take up the AIR they are so freakin' self-righteous.
Our leaders can figure out how to GET OUT of the Drama Triangle with other nations and gangs if they choose to first SEE IT and then choose to figure out ways out of it.
Is the way we do capitalism NOW a win-win situation for both parties? Or for both people and businesses? Not really! Not when you examine it closely. Our capitalism is win-lose.
BTW - The Press (major media) LOVES the Drama Triangle. The Press does not want the Drama Triangle to end. They love to send reporters to cover it.
