I heard my dad parrot every single one of those. Each one a perfect hit to enrage him and make him angry, each one contradicting the past, and all together show how it was always about wanting cheap labor.
It was all about forcing someone else to do it, to the point of enslaving citizens in a for profit prison that doubles as a forced job center. Whether is micky D's or the plantation that sources the produce they all force prisoners into labor camps. America has really aced concentration camps and applying it to everyone who is poor (not the elite billionaires)
Ditto, definitely had relatives literally saying the 2008 point for me after graduation.
