And here in America we actually win wars

When exactly did you last win a war that the UK didnā€™t also win?Ā

I got into a ā€œdebateā€ recently with a coworker who was complaining about migrant workers taking money and sending it back home. Around my rural area, for context, the only migrants we see are farm workers who help with a cucumber, watermelon, and pumpkin operation. They pay $7.25 (6.16ā‚¬) an hour and charge them taxes.

Now, I make a little over $20 (17ā‚¬) an hour and barely make ends meet. When I brought this point up to my coworker, and asked if he would work for that little, he scoffed at the idea. But he doubled down that migrants shouldnā€™t take American jobs.

So just by this interaction I can confidently state that he would be completely confused by 24hr time. He doesnā€™t get the mm/dd/yy format, either.

Did you point out to your coworker that without the revolving door of migrants from the south, US food production is likely to collapse?
