Exactly this.Reality has a well known liberal bias.
The AP, NPR, Axios, the BBC, etc are for people who want their beliefs to comport with reality. Fox et al are for people who want reality to conform to their beliefs.
In fact, more needed today than ever before.Is verifiably accurate news in the best interest of the public?
And workers' comp coverageMy painters a couple years ago. I asked them how long they had worked for Carlos-the owner.. Proudly they replied
"I work for myself-am independant contractor"
So yea Carlos avoids payroll tax even I imagine
Yep. If it's like it was a few years ago, they get a 1099 from the contractor, have to show proof of insurance, and the contractor is, iirc, responsible for deducting it and sending it to the government. For construction, it used to be something like 12-18%. Roofers paid the most. Carpenters were only a little less.And workers' comp coverage

Then it's all up to any conscience they have and their opinion of their chances of getting caught. My understanding is that getting caught will put a serious hurt on your lifestyle.What if I pay cash rather than write a check?
Not saying that undocumented workers are the embodiment of 21st century slave labor, but those who employ them do reduce their labor costs and thus increase their profit margins.And workers' comp coverage

That's a tough one to answer .At what hourly wage would the average american young adult put down their iPhone to spend all day picking soybeans or strawberrys?
Health InsuranceThat's a tough one to answer .
My guess would be $20-25 /hour with a 30 hour work week, 6 weeks paid vacation, 6 weeks paid sick leave and paid time off on days once the temperature reached 80 degrees ?
Don't forget health insurance and retirement accounts.That's a tough one to answer .

Those are some nice perks but my guess is they would be more focused on maintaining a work/ life balance today than planning for retirement which would be 35 -40 years down the roadDon't forget health insurance and retirement accounts.
Well at least the employer contribution to social security.Those are some nice perks but my guess is they would be more focused on maintaining a work/ life balance today than planning for retirement which would be 35 -40 years down the road

In July. In Fayetteville.I was thinking installing roofing shingles.
All right, this seems needlessly disparaging. I take your point and agree with it, but this veers pretty far into caricature territory.That's a tough one to answer .
