Try the mathematical gift of "division"... and consider what is a split shift and how the time in-between is technically not economically usable. She did a very good jobs of explaining herself, but as with much, it does require "thinking" to truly get the benefits of comprehension.

Split shifts are a great way to discourage anyone who has to drive to work then home then back to work in one day. Pretty much precludes having a life or family.

These are the same Trump culters who claim that by hiring foreign construction workers or any other kind of laborer "depresses" wages. The hypocrisy is that Trump wants to cut the H1-B visas for skilled workers and expand the H2-B visas for cheap unskilled labor so Trump and his fellow wealthy business owners can hire the cheap workers.

Trump doubled the membership fees for Maralago this year to take advantage of pay to play at the "Winter White House," but is not passing on his self-enriching profits to the employees.

The fact is that business owners in the US do NOT WANT to pay a fair wage that people could actually live on, or give them health insurance or other benefits. Trump's ad requires all kinds of experience and offers crap pay.

Please name any industry that pays employees a full years worth of wages for working only some months during the year. I'm not aware of any either in public or private industry.

For example, the IRS (and places like H&R Block) hire thousands of seasonal employees to work 4-6 months during tax season. They pay these employees from the same wage scale they are paying their full time permanent employees who will still be on payroll after tax season ends. They don't pay them more because they are only working part year.

Then we have retailers who hire temporary seasonal employees for the Xmas season. These employees are paid the same hourly salary as permanent employees. Not more because they are only working 2-3 months of the year.

So pray do tell what businesses pay seasonal employees a full years salary to work seasonally?

But he won't, because to him, MAGA is just a slogan to excite the dupes. He really doesn't care about America. He cares about money. Period.

Here he is, in the perfect position to lead by example, and instead he imports cheap foreign labor.

And the cult, mindless dupes that they are, cheer.
No, the left mindless people that they are expect businesses to be charities.

But the cult thinks he's "America First". Can you say mass cult delusion?
I guess you forgot about all the hotels where he hires Americans.

So you don't care if Trump gives lip service to wanting to bring jobs back to America, and claiming that he wants to make sure that Americans are getting the jobs here in America, while at the same time he manufactures all his goods overseas and imports foreign workers?

See...that is the exact opposite of "walking your talk."

Well, I have lots of experience cleaning my own home.

But, I currently live in Central FL and the going rate is around $30 or more/hr to clean a home. I assume it is more in Palm Beach County which is next door, to the south and the wealthiest county in FL.

So........if I wanted to clean something for a living(which will never happen), I would be cleaning private residences rather than applying at Mar-A-Lago.

Actually, it would be the height of stupidity for anyone to be cleaning hotels when they could make double or triple cleaning private residences anywhere in FL. So, Americans applying for cleaning jobs at Mar-A-Lago are either people who lack initiative or are simply too stupid to be hired. Which is exactly what you get in a situation where the unemployment rate is less than 5%.
