I don't find it very surprising. Keep in mind the crackdown on undocumented workers is reducing the supply of blue collar labor.
Exactly what he says in the video. The issues are more complex than can be discussed in such a short form video but I think critics of Trump's policies don't do that great of job of countering them. This is on many fronts, not just this area. Like many things I think its because their own positions are very vulnerable to closer inspection.
I'm reminded of the attacks on RFK and some of his changes. I keep hearing really poor arguments against his changes. And when I do hear someone go into detailed reasons why he's making mistakes they expose the issues he has discussed for years.
Its really a popcorn munching time isn't it?

So far, my response to most criticisms of RFK has been "Good. That was long overdue."

Its interesting to hear the same people that say he's antivax criticize he for cutting funding for MRnA in favor of traditional vaccines.
Do people even notice the switch here. And I even heard one guy say that the traditional vaccines have all these risk factors and have harmed people. So we should focus on MRnA. I thought all vaccines were safe and effective.
The gas lighting is real. RFK has never been antivax to my knowledge. He has been critical of the policies and ways that the industry operates and is regulated. He just gets smeared in media. I don't cosign all of the things he says but he's one of the most unfairly criticized dudes I have ever seen.
I respect him for having the balls to hold to his convictions. If he has some scheme going on that is behind all his positions I can't see it. The social pressure and ridicule he endures is insane. He was a darling when he was going after companies polluting. He could just ignore the pharma world but he doesn't.
I do think he is showing why there shouldn't be a single entity over medicine though. The masses are trained to just trust these agencies. Now the media is having a hard time because they are so used to saying trust the government. That was always a problem but now it's clear. Will they see this side of it through? Nah.

I have my fingers crossed that the claims "He's doing irreparable damage!" are correct. Perhaps there will be no trusted state authorities on the other side of whatever we're going through.

Speaking of inoculations. Pearl clutching has zero effect on me after almost 10 years of Trump

I'm not proud of the amount of schadenfreude I've been feeling recently.
