ht tps://ww w.breitb art.com/politics/2025/07/11/labor-department-native-born-americans-account-100-job-gains-under-donald-trump/

Native-born Americans account for 100 percent of the nation’s job gains since January, when President Donald Trump took office, the Labor Department revealed.
“Under [President Trump], native-born workers have accounted for ALL job gains since January. American Workers First!” the Labor Department wrote on X.
Compare those figures to job gains under former President Joe Biden, when native-born Americans accounted for just 52 percent of new employment in 2024.
While foreign-born employment is down by over half a million, thanks to strict federal immigration enforcement, native-born American employment is up by over two million.

We have had this for a while in Kalifornia. These add on fees are not the tip. On top of $20+/hour for these mediocre servers they also get an 18% adder? That is why we dont go out much anymore. F this commy bullshit. If a waiter is a professional and is excellent at the job, then i may tip about 15%. In cash. No need for the government to be involved.

An extra fee added to a check at a restaurant left one diner shocked and fired up people on the internet, too.
A Georgia man shared a photo of his receipt to Instagram Threads, asking, “WTF is a living wage fee?” following dinner in mid-June.
On the bill was a $13 Reuben sandwich, a $12 burger, two sides of fries for $4 each and an 18% “living wage fee” that tacked on an additional $5.94 — bringing his total, with $1.81 in tax, to $40.75.

The trick is to return the Reuben. You eat half which is disgusting. Then test the second half. Disgusting also. Full of ethnic spicing: Hot mayonnaise. The cabbage seems to be VERY old.
*Demand a $20 gift certificate.
*Refuse the tip
*Remind the likely immigrant staff that you’re a Sovereign Citizen of the Republican Republic of America (if you even qualify)
NO TAX!

Lol… looks like the SoCal Mega-Weed Farm – you know the one that employs “undocumented citizens” and uses child labor – donated $10,000 to Governor French Laundry’s political campaign chest. It makes sense that he is also a big Democrat Party donor because he uses the next best thing to slave labor.

empathy alone is a salve only upon one’s own conscience

-TRG-
________________________________________

AI Overview

“The phrase…

“empathy alone is a salve only upon one’s own conscience”…

… suggests that while feeling empathy for someone may bring comfort or satisfaction to the empathizer, it doesn’t necessarily translate into tangible benefits or support for the person experiencing the hardship. 

Essentially, simply feeling another person’s pain or understanding their perspective isn’t enough; it implies that empathy needs to be accompanied by actions that actually help alleviate suffering or improve the situation for the individual in need. 

➡️This quote highlights a potential limitation or criticism of empathy, suggesting that true compassion or ethical behavior requires more than just internal feelings; it necessitates taking meaningful action to create positive change for others.⬅️”

Empathy, by itself, is ineffective, limp, weak sauce, when it comes to actually solving problems…

If one is standing in someone else’s shoes, and pretending that is actually helping them, the very first thing that they need to do is snap the eff out of their effing delusion, and take the shoes off, and give them back to the shoeless person who they originally belonged to…

If empathy is merely standing in someone else’s shoes, empathy is clearly not going to help them one little bit, unless one also intends to pick that same someone up and proceed to carry them in the right direction…

If all one intends to do is empathize while uselessly kicking the can down the road, then I could see that the thing to also do would be to do it while standing in someone else’s shoes…

Why uselessly scuff their own shoes, when they can empathetically scuff the shoes of the less fortunate…???

“Empathy, while a valuable human trait that can motivate action and foster connection, is often not enough on its own to solve complex problems effectively. 
Here’s why empathy alone is not sufficient for solving problems:

  • Potential for clouded judgment: 
  • Strong emotional identification with others, a part of empathy, can lead to biased decision-making. This can cause a focus on short-term solutions that might not be best in the long run or for everyone.
  • Insufficient for systemic issues:
  •  Empathy tends to focus on individual experiences and immediate needs. Complex issues, like systemic injustice or climate change, need more than emotional responses. They require critical, strategic thinking to create lasting solutions.
  • Bias towards “in-groups”:
  •  Empathy is often biased toward people or groups perceived as similar, according to the British Psychological Society. This can hinder the ability to empathize with and effectively address the needs of those from different backgrounds or “out-groups”.
  • Can be manipulated: 
  • The ability to understand and connect with emotions can be used to manipulate others. For instance, politicians may use emotionally charged stories to influence public opinion and gain support for policies that may not benefit everyone.
  • Requires action and other skills:
  •  True problem-solving requires moving beyond feeling empathy to taking action. Empathy needs to be combined with other skills, like critical thinking and communication, to formulate and implement solutions. In leadership, understanding a team member’s struggles (empathy) is important, but a leader must also offer support or remove obstacles (compassionate action).
  • Risk of burnout: Constantly dealing with others’ emotions, especially in healthcare or social work, can be emotionally draining and lead to empathy fatigue, notes Kinetic Clarity.
  • It is crucial to balance empathy with self-care to maintain effectiveness. 

While empathy is important for positive change and relationships, it’s essential to recognize its limits in solving problems. Effective problem-solving needs a holistic approach that combines empathy with rational thought, critical thinking, strategic planning, and action.”

While it’s true that action is necessary to meet immediate needs, empathy is what often drives that action in the first place. A grain of rice feeds someone today — but without empathy, who grows it, gives it, or cares that the person is hungry 
Real change happens when empathy informs action — turning compassion into food, policy, aid, and justice. The rice fills the stomach, but empathy fills the world with people who make sure no one goes without it.

I approve of this message.

This take cynically dismisses empathy as empty virtue signaling, but that’s both unfair and untrue. While not all empathetic responses result in perfect solutions, empathy is often the starting point of meaningful change — from civil rights to disaster relief to ➡️mental health advocacy.

Framing empathy as self-serving ignores the countless ways it drives people to volunteer, donate, advocate, and reform. The problem isn’t empathy — it’s apathy, or worse, cynicism that discourages caring in the first place.

Mocking empathy as “pathetic” says more about the speaker’s discomfort with vulnerability than it does about the value of compassion. Real strength isn’t in pretending not to care — it’s in daring to.

Merely projecting self righteous empathy towards potential and/or actual deportees, and THAT’S IT, via a total disconnect and directed without ANY real contact, from way afar and from on high, without so much as lifting a little finger, entirely lacks even a long shot chance of substantive change, and therefore does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for them…

Let’s not kid ourselves…

So, you tell me, who is it intended to benefit, because it damn sure ain’t helping the illegal immigrants one single iota or whit…

That’s not even possible…

So, it’s. CLEARLY, ONLY benefitting and self soothing all the many self-serving self-aggrandizing, and, self proclaimed ethics pontificators’ various holier than thou ego trips and/or moral superiority complexes…

THAT’S IT…!!!

And it’s pretty damn obvious…

Think about it…!!!

What good is the EMPTY EMPATHY doing the illegal immigrants AT ALL…???

Increasing their popularity…???

NADA…!!!

That’s what…

And what good does the empty empathy do for the empathetic…

They get to sleep better at night, with a clear conscience, not so much sleeping soundly because they have diligently worked ON BEHALF of illegal immigrants, but seriously sawing wood, instead, because, in their now relaxed minds, they have dutifully fulfilled their Liberal Team’s sworn obligation to work diligently AGAINST TRUMP…

Which is as surely as misguided and unhelpful, as it is, completely ineffective…

All of that useless so called empathy without action, not only isn’t changing the course of the deportees on little bit, they ain’t even the ones hearing it, so how could it EVEN POSSIBLY be even making them FEEL even A LITTLE BIT better…

And considering that it’s also not helping the emotive, empathetic orators’ audience members even a skosh, who is it then, that is the only one left, for it to even possibly benefit…???

That’s right, the ones, themselves, that are expressing the so called, “empathy”…

They are not manipulating anyone else, any more than they are manipulating themselves…

Like I said before, that many times, it’s actually antipathy, that pompously masquerades, very thinly disguised as so called empathy…

Sometimes, it can even be quite convincing, even to the various actors, themselves…

Things are not always as the appear…

So, don’t believe everything you hear…

Balderdash. Empathy creates soap operas, melodramas and speaking tour lecturers. Without pragmatism, empathy squanders itself in useless emotional self-indulgence. Without principles, it devolves into deception. Or gets weaponized as it is in comments here.

“In a recent presentation, I gave with my colleague, Haylie Jones, we presented the results of a study in which we studied peoples’ empathy and their tendency to tell lies. What we found was that people who scored higher on our empathy measures also reported telling more frequent lies. Perhaps their enhanced ability to understand others leads more empathic individuals to use this ability for their own underhanded purposes.”

Yabut, empathy’s not perfect — it can be misused like anything else humans get their hands on — but dismissing it as melodrama ignores a mountain of research and, frankly, a lot of human history.

Empathy, especially what researchers call “empathic concern,” has been shown again and again to be a strong motivator for real, concrete action. People help more when they feel connected to someone else’s pain. That’s not just sentiment — it’s how food banks get stocked, laws get changed, and people step in when there’s no reward in it for them. (See: Batson et al., 1981, if you want the data.)

The study you linked points out that some people may use perspective-taking to manipulate — fair enough. But that’s about cognitive empathy, not compassion. Knowing how someone feels and caring are two different things.

Sure, empathy alone isn’t a fix. It needs pragmatism, structure, follow-through. But without it, all you’ve got is cold calculation — and not many folks willing to stay up late organizing the soup kitchen.

Steven, I actually smiled when I saw the word balderdash—not just because it’s a bit of Renaissance flair, which I happen to enjoy (medieval lit during a period of my life was my comfort reading), but because in my family, Balderdash is also the name of a board game we play together, usually with a lot of laughter and warmth around the table.

That said, I really appreciate Tawney’s earlier comment—it brought heart into this thread when it could have easily veered off into sniping.

It’s wild that empathy, of all things, should be the lightning rod here—but maybe it’s because it is so powerful, and so personal. Shakespeare thought so too—one of his most stirring speeches on human kinship was given to a character, a villain, meant to challenge the audience’s sense of justice and mercy.

Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?”

Empathy, like any human trait, isn’t flawless. But it’s hard to imagine a world worth living in without it.

Empathy, like any other human trait, isn’t necessarily genuine, either…

Who could conceive of a world where exists intentional manipulative empathy, because it is dinengenuius…???

And to what end…???

It’s a pretty complex concept…

It’s not easy to imagine, but as you have shown, Shakespeare pulled it off…

And a fine example of manipulative empathy, it was…

Are there others…

Almost makes one feel sorry for “the villain”…

…or does is it just actually intend to increase contempt for the villain…???

That’s funny, now that I think of it, it’s very similar to the recent expressing of dramatic empathy towards deportees…

It homogenizes the villains and the victims, as if the were ALL victims, sans villains…

Preposterous…!!!

And all victims of Trump, to boot, (no pun intended), which conveniently goes without saying…

Equally ridiculous…!!!

All that useful Shakespeare study seems to be coming in handy…

Let me try…

“Hath not an [immigrant] hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a [citizen] is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? [If you deport us, will we not exit, stage left?] And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?”

That would just as easily pass as antipathy, as it would pass for empathy…

The recurring theme….

It’s a very subtle, yet significant, difference…

Go figure…

Who would have guessed that SO CALLED “empathy” that is just a shaky, flimsy, facade covering, and filling in as a body double for what is truly antipathy, could have ULTIMATELY FOOLED so many gullible, naive people…???

Hopefully that clever, manipulative, mind game will lose it’s frequency and also it’s effectiveness, now that it has been fully exposed for what it truly is…

One can only hope that the people will now clearly see beyond what is really behind the ruse…

Treating empathy as if it was a principle is giving it way, way too much value. And treating it as a virtue is worse. And using it to declare a person has a moral failing is even worse and is exactly how so many commenters mean it. “You don’t agree with me? You must have an absence of this thing that makes a good human being so shut up and agree I’m right.” It’s so much of a mindless fad right now. It just doesn’t mean what you think it means.

Reflecting someone’s feelings and recognizing is pretty much a basic human instinct that allows us to form societies. To form governments, agree to laws, to form partnerships. But it also says nothing at all about the quality of that society. Lynch mobs have “empathy” for those they see as victimized. Just not for the person they are seeking to hang. Fascists have “empathy” for their fellow countrymen. Just not for foreigners. Religious zealots have empathy for their co-religionists. Just not for non-believers. It’s not just feeling what someone else feels that make empathy lead to virtue. It is very possible to feel the lust a rapist might feel. Or understanding what a thief covets.

That is what this foolish defense of illegal immigration is. Assigning the value of being good to illegal immigrants just because you see them as victims of something wrong. But to do that, you have to conflate government regulation of who enters the country with a lack of empathy, you have to pretend the pressures the human competition doesn’t exist, and you have agree that people have the right to decide what laws people can choose to ignore. All those ideas are typical of those who grew Marijuana illegally so it’s no surprise that you are co- opted into treating illegal immigrants the same.

However, none of those ideas make for a functional society. It’s like saying to someone on a diet ” You lack appetite.” without recognizing they may have a valid need for a diet to be healthy. You have to not empathize with those suffering harm from your own choices. And that selectivity is clearly on display on this site.

Yabut, disagreeing with a viewpoint isn’t the same as being judged morally deficient. Empathy isn’t about ignoring consequences or abandoning laws—it’s about recognizing shared humanity while navigating them. You’re welcome to disagree, but please do so without personal attacks or assumptions.

No you’re wrong 100 percent and it’s sad to see. Have you never experienced empathy? Sometimes a kind word and the knowledge that another human being cares and understands can make a huge difference.

no action required. Although it is the next best step but sometimes all it takes is an acknowledgment of another persons humanity to actually change someone’s day.

your attitude is sad.

Before that happens, we will be discussing children in the workforce (foreign & domestic), what they sometimes endure, by whom & for what reasons.

And if that discussion is allowed to ripen, we should likewise consider whether the negative ramifications of the human trafficking and cartel trafficking, foreign & domestic NGO influences upon our immigration system infringe upon We The People to a greater extent than the degree to which past immigration policies have & do legitimately benefit the truly needful.

CA labor board will most definitely get involved. And every other workforce department from OSHA to city code enforcements that have investigators. Their issues have just begun. They wanted to brag about being the “biggest in the world” but are running an operation like this? Shit was going to down at some point and now it is. ICE broke the glass for others to pick apart.

What leads you to believe this was propaganda?

Eight of the ten children were unaccompanied, btw.

Are you defending child labor? At a cannabis farm?
I’m shocked, simply shocked.

They are trying to make it sound like these children were chained to work benches and they had to dodge bullets to get to them. I wonder how old they were. 16,17?
As far as dodging bullets from rioters it was one guy. ICE didn’t even seem to know about the guy as they were busy firing tear gas at protesters. The protesters were in more danger than ICE was.
Nobody even seems to know what type of gun he had or if fired how many times. Let’s see what comes out.
And no I am not for child labor, but those kids are in more danger from ICE than they ever were working at Glass House

By the way, you can work at McDonalds at age 14, work in retail, bag groceries.

Even younger in some more specific instances, such as selling Girl Scout cookies or running lemonade stands. Kids under 18 don’t need a parent around, just a single adult if they’re classified as employees. And beyond a certain age, not even an adult is required to be present. But nevermind how the higher powers want to frame it. I don’t doubt there are some workplace violations going on, but no need to call in the Guard here. They could have caught a wanted person anywhere. Which is to say, did someone tip them off?

They had no guardian!!! At least 8 that were removed , had no parental unit to advocate on their behalf! Besides, you can’t be a minor (with parents or not) and work at a pot farm!!! You guys , come on! Use your brain. Children under 18 are called “dependent children” for a reason!!

Cesar Chavez and the Union put “goon squads” I mean border watchers with the purpose to dissuade ill… mean “undocumented citizens” from coming across the border. Why? He knew they would effectively undercut the wages the Union established.

I was inspired to write down the words spoken by POTUS DJT, to the gaggle of press assembled near the new flagpole on the White House lawn, immediately prior the President and FLOTUS departure for Kerrville, TX.

We are number one in the world. Look, I’ll tell you in a little simple—a little simple language: One year ago, our country was a dead country. We were going nowhere except down.

We were the laughing stock all over the world. And now we’re the hottest country, anywhere in the world. We’re number one everywhere in the world. And that’s all they’re talking about is our country.

One year ago was a dead country. Now it’s the hottest country anywhere in the world. Thank you.” (He waves bye, turns and leaves. 👋🏻)

See, the peace prize doesn’t mean anything but America’s resurgence means everything!🥇

After clearing the cruft—and America is back—only then can we properly assist each other and all others. (It’s like putting the air-mask on yourself before putting masks on others.)
