14. I agree. Along with proper education, opportunities for trade skills, and a strong job market.

Stop importing workers for most things, we have people here who would do these jobs, if they had UBI to cover their main costs. And yes, Americans will do all those dirty, nasty jobs, we've done them for generations. But we were fooled into believing everyone could have a "tech" job, when most people don't want to go to college for that stuff. Now it's a push to college and student load debt, only to watch people being hired in from other places, while they train their replacements.

And put away the pitchforks, I believe in legal immigration, just not mass imports of anyone to take jobs that someone else is already doing.
