The jobs of higher-income natives are also being destroyed. H1B keeps getting bigger, and now they want to make new foreigners & the companies that import them exempt from Social Security & other payroll taxes for 3 years. Of course this will lead to more & more people as companies seek to retain & sustain this advantage, and that in turn will increasingly frustrate some of our most knowledgeable people (and the rest of us as the products we purchase continue to deteriorate in quality).
Dr. Wolf there is a problem with impersonation and I don’t think I and tens of thousands of others are following the real you on Telegram. This leads to fake newsletter sign ups and all kinds of bad.. same with many others .. The public would benefit from having everyones official stuff somewhere, particularly since y’all rub elbows and can actually speak with each other .. but going online and searching is just NOT working..
Luis Quero makes very good points about training for real jobs and creating affordable housing and other projects that highly beneficial. However, for that to happen a great deal more money will be required than is currently available. Much of the needed money could come from community banks and credit unions to fund small and medium sized businesses to create productive lending. The best way to achieve this is through establishing publicly owned banks. Private banks create 97% of our money supply when they make new loans and they do so primarily to maximize their own profit, often at public expense. Most banks should be publicly owned whereby most loans are made locally for productive purposes that serve the public interest and where the interest income come back to the community, not just to wealthy shareholders and officers of a major bank.
Just such banks are why China far outperforms the US and Wall Street. They've outperformed everyone over the past 40 years, mainly through thousands of small local banks funded through nationally owned major banks, first implemented by Deng Xiaoping. Germany, similarly, has the strongest economy in Europe due to the Sparkassen, city-owned savings banks and nonprofits in 1,500 cities in Germany, lending to small and medium sized businesses, which create the most jobs and productive lending for new goods and services. This is unlike lending by the big Wall Street banks which are not restrained from pouring new money into lending to pump up fixed assets such existing real estate or stocks. That just creates bubbles and current recessions, like 2008, and which are threatening to recur now.
The state-owned Bank of North Dakota (BND) has operated since 1919, has never faced failure, makes loans jointly with many local community banks and credit unions. It, together with these smaller banks increased lending in 2008, just enough to offset the Great Recession and as a result enabled North Dakota to be the only state that avoided recession in 2008 and after. It generally has the lowest unemployment rate, the lowest credit card and student loan default rates, one of the lowest home foreclosure rates, lowest homeless rate, and responds very quickly to natural disasters such as the 1997 flood of the Red River.
I strongly recommend that you interview renowned international economist Richard Werner, D.Phil. (Oxon), author of the #1 bestseller in Japan _Princes of the Yen_ 2001 (Japanese), 2003 (English); 2016 (complete version in English with missing chapter on Alan Greenspan, Quantum Publishers), other books and numerous key articles. He did and published the first ever empirical test at a real bank to determine whether banks create new money when they make loans. Answer: they do. He also showed clearly the double-entry bookkeeping involved in making loans and why nonbanks, which cannot take deposits, therefore cannot create new money.
Werner originated the concept of "quantitative easing" as the way for Japan to emerge from its serious recession when a real estate bubble burst at the end of the 1980s, although the governors of the Bank of Japan refused to follow that advice for a long time. Werner was the first economist to correctly explain that bubble, predict the crash, and explain the causes of both, including the long persistence of recession by deliberate action of the Bank of Japan to try to restore US style neoconservative economics to Japan--liberalization, deregulation, and privatization, which they have largely effectively done.
You will likely find it to be one of the most interesting, informative, and valuable interviews from a practical standpoint that you have ever done. He may be reached at richard.werner@linacre.ox.ac.uk Thanks for your consideration and your outstanding work.

Minnesota native here. The sub-Saharan Africans ( Somalians) seems to have brought nothing to 'raise' society and I wonder why? Seems that 'corruption' is their MO.
Is there a way back from these people? They ( Somalians) are never inclined to become good citizens.
Why is that!
The Irish, and Scandinavians, Italians, Greeks, Laotians, Cambodians, Hmong generally 'fit right in' and are adored.
I don't live in NYC, but it gives one a sense to be encouraged by people like Luis Quero stepping into the civic arena to start turning away some of the corruption running cities. My hat's off to his endeavor. Let's hope it's a movement all across cities and towns in America
Thank you for the kind words of support Alison! Check out my website luis438.com to learn more about me...donations also help fuel the fight and would be very much appreciated. Best,
I agree with Luis Quero that drug treatment and mental illness facilities are expensive and harmful for these patients. Find an Orthomolecular doctor who knows about niacin, simple vitamin B3. Even in daily mega doses, it's very inexpensive and not harmful. Read Niacin: The Real Story, 2nd Edition from 2023!
I also like his stance on getting rid of bad NGOs (aren't they all?)! Also, his idea about shop classes including knife sharpening is another great idea as some young people are just not meant for higher education!
Thanks, Naomi, for you interview of Jonathan Pollard today. it's too bad you are too young to have interviewed Heinrich Himmler so that we could compare these ardent advocates of genocide and ethnic cleansing. Why did you keep apologizing for playing the Devll's advocate with him? When you ask tough questions of the Devil you are the Lord's advocate, not the Devil's advocate. It was nice to see that Pollard supports genocide which means that he will burn in Hell with Bibi. it is a shame Pollard was not executed for treason to this country long ago.
This is Luis the candidate interviewed above. We are in a leadership crisis and need our best and brightest to get into public service irrespective of party. I pride myself on bringing back compassionate conservatism and believe Republicans can provide for our people

If we do nothing at all on this, then Medicare's Hospital Insurance trust fund will be depleted by 2033. You do need a plan more sophisticated than “just take care of everyone.”
I, for one, would like to see a little more self-reliance return to this country, and instead of obliging the insane pricing of the constantly expanding healthcare sector, we cut it back to down to size, restore transparent pricing, break up all the unnaturally formed oligopolies, put insurance in its place instead of having them adjudicate every band-aid, etc.
Since the 60s, the healthcare market has grown less & less free, more & more expensive, and from 6 to 20 percent of GDP! They’ve made incredible returns, but we’ve gotten no return on our health. We absolutely must address this, not continue paying the ransoms to Big Hospital, Big Pharma, and Big Insurance.
We need real change, not more welfare, corporate or otherwise.
The Democratic Party only works for the people when a special interest profits first whether that’s an NGO, a union, or an insurance company. They are the reason we have one of the most expensive and ineffective health systems in the developed world. Obamacare wasn’t done to help the people it was a massive giveaway to the private health insurance industry that ensures we pay double what other countries pay. The Biden administration took 4 years to negotiate prices on 10 drugs…10! The federal government is the largest purchaser of health services/goods it can just set a price and everyone has to fall in place. I’m sorry but the Democratic Party does not hold the moral high ground when it comes to serving the people.

Cannot argue with any of his observations and ideas! I remember NYC when it was livable, walkable & visiting it was very cool!
