Why not already include future uncertainties regarding costs in the wages and perks offered to new employees? Say, a 25% lower starting wage than paid to new employees in the past In these days when millions are looking for jobs, I am sure they would not mind getting, say, 45k instead of 60k. Once an employee proves to be a valuable asset, the employer could still reward that in the future.

It's not job seekers' fault if an employer doesn't like the president's policies, thus job seekers shouldn't be abused as a lever in political blackmail.

This why those that are not US citizens, should not comment on what the citizens of the USA should feel and do.
You twisted a comparison to be a reality.

Lack of fairness for who, exactly?

The world, or the US workforce?
Remember, we are a very patriotic people. The most unique nation in the world. One you seem to despise.

You have no clue how free markets and capitalism work!
You are not an American born & raise citizen.

You think everything is greed based.
You have never been a business owner and taken a risk. You have always been the employee, with no chance of showing a loss for your hard work.

Nah, I just despise hypocrisy and unfairness, no matter which flag it is wrapped in...

I don't despise the US at all, not more so than most countries, but indeed, it is not a unique country to me, just one of many. If your patriotism blinds you and makes you unfair, you should reduce the dose.

I guess you are wrong, I have been a freelancer for many years.

Turns out this "small business owner" is right-wing nut-job who is so extreme that even the Oathkeepers kicked him out of their club for participating in a failed Tennessee insurrection that has already sent two of his buddies to jail.

You just can't make this sh*t up.

Yikes! Take it out on people because they don't like our President. Like throwing gasoline on a fire and saying "hey, Liquid is liquid."
