Cartels are losing the mj revenue to American growers, to compensate they have doubled down on crystal, coke and heroin. They also have keen business acumen, being able to capitalize on the rampant opioid prescription abuse.
Another favorite market is human trafficking, be it illegal migrant workers, sex slavery or OTM (other than mexican/central American/south American).
OTMs could be anything from Chinese to middle eastern.
BS mexico doesnt even have conditions anywhere near as good as he eastern countrys for heroin. It comes straight from the CIA. http://mediaroots.org/opium-what-afghanistan-is-really-about/

Unacceptable
Plus once they are in, they become the equidavlent of modern day slaves. They get abused and paid wages that cannot sustain life within the US. I don't know how they manage to get social security, but apparently they do. They just walk in and steal the money Americans have worked for shamelessly.
I am completely against it.
Do you even live in canada? If so, when do you plan on moving to the usa? Because all you ever seem to speak about is the USA, except the occasional time you praise harper and call him one of the greatest prime ministers weve ever had.
I cant even tell if youre serious, considering thats the biggest crock of shit ive ever heard.
Harper...a good prime minister...

And now all you people do is bitch and moan about how it's all the Mexicans fault, it's all because of illegal immigration, it's all because of Obama.
Fucking hypocrites stringing up scapegoats to try and undermine your own responsibility for the current state of affairs.
IMHO of course
"They outsourced so much labor"
No, the US working class didn't outsource their own jobs, the corporations bought off the politicians and the rest was history. There was a real political debate on this "free trade" nonsense in 1994 when Ross Perot demanded it shouldn't happen, once that ended the American people just kind of stood by idle and watched everything close down.
"YOUR GENERATION IS RESPONSIBLE, YOUR PEOPLE FUCKED US"
Well, you are correct to a certain degree, but to be fair most Americans were and still are pretty clueless when it comes to economic trade and globalization. It's a complex economic issue with lots of negatives and a few benefits, the MSM wasn't going to spell it out for them.
Also, all developed economies also fell into this trap, Japan, UK, and all of the EU are in the same boat. The average working class peasant didn't really have a choice in this matter, so I don't know why much responsibility one should put on them.
"hypocrites stringing up scapegoats"
We know who pushed for globalization- the very rich!! We know who pushed for a open border- the very rich! I'm not blaming China or Mexico, but that doesn't mean that illegal immigrants aren't a huge negative for the US citizen. Again, that doesn't mean they're bad people, they just need to be deported.

Oh look. A new troll.
There are several factors in comparing today and the sixties. Number one living conditions are far better for poor people today. The things we take for granted were uncommon then. Air conditioning. Phone calls were expensive as fuck and you had to make them tied to a handset. Dishwashers were a rarity. There's a lot more.
Then there was the fact that the rest of the world had recently been decimated and there was no competition to speak of. Once Japan got on its feet what happened to the auto industry in the US that had been pumping out shit quality for decades?
Then there are technology advances that allow an economy of production that used to require skills. Robots. In construction nail guns allow a huge increase in production and require far less skill. One guy with the knowledge can lead a crew of twelve monkeys that will produce more than twenty guys with skills 30 years ago.
Idiots are getting marginalized. As they should be.

No. A producer who can't compete becomes a non-producer. Profit margins are generally pretty slim.

You really have no fucking clue at all. The stock market is not the consumer market. Apple is the perfect example
http://www.marketplace.org/topics/business/ive-always-wondered/how-much-would-all-american-iphone-cost
The iPhone would cost 3 times as much as it does. Which would put Apple out of the cellphone business. The iPhone would not even exist.

The brand new iphone 6 costs $200.10 to produce by apple. Yet they are being sold $550-$600. That's a pretty high markup.

 I swear talking to you is like talking to a brick wall.
I'm not gonna say what talking to you is like. Your understanding of economics rivals that of Winnie the Pooh. If an iPhone costs $2000 nobody will buy it hence there will be no iPhone. La derr

I sometimes wonder why you even bother to share this stuff on this forum. The Shroomery's pub is the druggie arm of the Edge Lord Reddit Reject Crew. You think most of these people give a fuck about African children?
But I do appreciate your continued benevolence and good faith.

One view. Just one person in the thread who decides to watch and is made to stop and think about the bigger picture. Thats why I do it. Most of the time theres little to no response in the thread, most in a thread lurk or stick with the immediate line of discussion, but theres always 1 or 2 in the shadows who wants to find out more.
People are inherently good, and how most people discuss in the Pub only bears superficial resemblance to their real life character.
I do it for the one that pays attention, who cares beyond the outcome of the discussion, in this case you.
The rock is Yang, it is hard, solid, unyielding. It is immediate and blatant. The water is soft, weak, yielding. It is indirect and subtle.
Over time, water carves a river through the solid rock.

336 you are just about correct. Zappa you are out of touch with reality.
Fact: The producer wants to make more money by paying less for labor. So they go to other countries where they can pay a worker less than half what an American worker would get paid. Or they hire illegal immigrants and pay them the absolute minimum, actually some companies get away with paying less than the minimum. If the cost of labor goes up the cost of goods will also go up because producers want to keep their profits. Everyone should agree with this, if you don't then man I feel bad for you.
Obviously consumers want to pay less but they do not set prices for goods and services, the corporations and the free-market does. Producers will jack up prices as high as long as they don't start losing money because they raised prices so much consumers can't afford it.
Americans don't want the jobs illegals have unless they get paid well. Farming jobs are hard and americans won't work unless they get paid 15-20 an hour. So prices will go up!

Do either of you two understand competition and pricing? What do you think the profit margins for most businesses are? For instance the health insurance industry? http://www.markfarrah.com/healthcare-business-strategy/Profit-Margins-Converge-for-Top-Health-Plans.aspx
If an iPhone cost $2000 would you buy it?
