The Inequality Debate Is a Lie — Both Sides Are Right (And Wrong)

What was said

"some of the things that Trump is doing actually speaks to empowering a worker who has to be physically in place to do the job. And then we finding out what is the real price that somebody will pay for blue collar labor when we don't have the ability to outsource that to illegal immigrants. We don't have the ability to send it overseas."

Tom Bilyeu argues that policies he associates with Donald Trump could increase leverage for workers whose jobs must be done on-site by limiting offshoring and undocumented labour. He says this would reveal what employers are willing to pay for blue-collar work, and what wages might draw US citizens into these jobs given access to government support programmes.
