Ah Sharon but watch when you pay doule or triple for your grocery bill!

This lil ole county of mine has approx 100,000 migrant summer workers (my village of 358 has 650 eastern Europeans living in big converted warehouses down the lane- n no, we dont have any trouble n the local pub landlord thinks its xmas every day!) but its a chicken n egg question- supply drives demand…or demand drives supply?

Is it a supermarket buying cheap produce to kepp prices down or is it the consumer who wants cheap prices n will go elsewhere if its not cheap?

This is a bit too focused

Cheap labour creates an ever decreasing economy

An economies bouyancy is controlled by public spending, public spending is driven by ACTUAL cash in peoples pockets rather than credit based spending, cash in peoples pockets is put there when their wages are over and above what they need to live on

Poorly controlled immigration hits an economy in various ways

Workers with families in tow take more out of an economic system than they will EVER pay in, so theyre not REALLY “cheap” labour at all as that extra tax has to come from somewhere

Workers with illnesses take more out of an economic system than they will EVER pay in, so theyre not REALLY “cheap” labour at all as that extra tax has to come from somewhere

Workers from countries like poland arent consumerised, so vast amounts of the money they earn is sent back home rather than being reinjected into our economy for purchases

Money not being reinjected into our economy for purchases negatively influences our economic bouyancy. reduces the fluidity and validity of businesses, means less sales staff are needed, less shops are needed and more people are out of work

More people being out of work means more taxes are needed

Also there are non influenced products that HAVE to be bought, cheap labour doesnt reduce the cost of electricity, gas, water or petrol

Cheap polish labour within the transport system hasnt decreased fairs or increased services, its simply increased profits for the companies

Any “savings” cheap fruit and veg MIGHT resemble, when it also causes a need for more tax to publicly fund that “cheap” labour means that less flexible costs HAVE to go up as a result, taxation HAS to go up and the ancilliary governmental costs associated with collecting that extra cost goes up which invariably takes more income from people than the pennies the cheaper food saves them so systematically people end up worse and worse off

Thats why although many things now are proportionally cheaper than they were 10 years ago people have far less actual cash left after they have paid their bills each month, so rather than some economical benefit to the populace its an ever descending financial downward spiral and only the companies profits are benefitting positively from it

Taking a single thing out of a “system” like an economic system and claiming its “good” is like taking a single non cancerous cell out of a patient riddled with cancer and claiming it “proves” they dont have cancer
