Not to put too fine a point on it, but if you are looking behind you to see how many followers you have, you are not leading. And, nobody is going to follow you.
"Homebuilders say they can't find workers amid the ICE crackdowns."
Logically unpack that sentence:
"Can't find workers" does not mean zero people exist who can swing a hammer. It means they cannot fill crews at the wages, hours, conditions, and hiring practices they were using yesterday.
"Amid the ICE crackdowns" identifies which workers disappeared from the pool: the ones ICE is targeting. That is an admission that a meaningful share of their prior labor supply was unauthorized.
The unspoken third clause is therefore: the legal/American labor market is not filling those slots at the old price. If it were, the complaint would be different ("we raised pay 30% and still came up short") instead of "enforcement happened and now we have no crews."
The statement is not evidence that Americans refuse construction work. It is evidence that the industry’s previous equilibrium relied on a lower-cost, higher-risk labor source that enforcement has now disrupted.

As the worm turns...
According to public records, Monica Grenfell started as a mess hand in the kitchen at the training camp, then moved to a storeman/storewoman role in the main camp doing logistics and stores work. She was a former health journalist who took the job after retiring from newspapers.
In other words, none of the SAS would give her that Ten Dick, so she became bitter and wrote a trash piece on them.
EXCLUSIVE: Special forces soldiers believe they are “untouchable” and not all of them are the heroes they think they are, according to a former female civil servant who worked alongside them.
Monica Grenfell, who was employed at the Special Air Service (SAS) headquarters in Credenhill, near Hereford, for three years, said some of the elite troops were “feral” and it was “the nasty characters who really ruled the roost”.
She has given evidence under oath to the Afghan Inquiry and has now been interviewed by @thetimesthetimes.com/article/5706a8a…

Another one. This time my brother. Overdose. I'm honored to have served with and befriend. We've laughed, cried, sweat and bled together.
There's more than 22 a day. Call your buddy, you never know.

Put all of his positions to the side, the simple fact that he just regurgitates Obama talking points and cadence to republicans who lived through Obama makes him an unserious candidate. Out of all the midterm candidates, he is by far the worst.
Lindsey Graham’s sister is a more serious candidate lol
@SecRollins "let them eat something else" really tells the American people who and what you are. On your salary you should certainly be able to feed your 'FOUR' children lots of beef, but the average American salary is no where near yours. So you are saying Americans are not entitled to beef at a price the average citizen can afford. Another important point is you are assisting in the destruction of the beef industry in this country. Where is your loyalty? Obviously, supporting a man in office and not at all concerned with the people. The U.S Department of Agriculture should have been demolished decades ago because you and your ilk are picking winners and losers - U.S. beef ranchers are the losers. Totally despicable.
Intelligence work is predicated on three things: a mission, a boundary (AO), and requirements.
If you don't identify these three things before developing local intelligence, you are not going to be successful.
So, um, hey --- ever heard of Organoids?... Me either.
Skynet Rising - tonight on Grunt Speak Live, 8pm EST
As AI rises, more and more companies, labs, universities, and governments attempt to build science fiction into reality. The whole thing is starting to look more and more like a mashup of CyberPunk, Blade Runner, and Idiocracy.
