    Ariat Rebars.
    I wear them tho, don’t eat them.
    They’re for something called a “Job”. Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of it.
    It’s where you trade your skills and work for goods and services, or vouchers for goods and services in the form of money. What’s your favorite flavour of Valenki?

    That’s just getting pedantic about the meaning of “fault”.
    Take the immigrant part out.
    Two, 6th generation USA homegrown workers, one from California, one from Texas.
    Job is in Cali, min wage 16.50/hr, leave out living expenses.
    Texas min wage is 7.25 so Texan tells employer he’ll take 10/hr because he needs money.
    Is it the Texan’s “fault” a Californian job was taken, or is it the mechanism (or lack of enforcement) that allowed him to be hired in the first place, for less than state required min-wage, that’s the underlying fault?
    You can try to get pedantic about the meaning of “fault” I suppose, but to me that’s just a distraction to skip the point, and enable vilification of Texans.
