I agree with a lot of the points so I will just comment on the one I disagree with strongly. Social mobility in higher in Europe than it is in the United States, but they face the same pressures in terms of cheap labor from other countries.
The parent argued that low social mobility in the US was because of foreign labor. I pointed out that Europe has higher social mobility but also competes with foreign labor.
Never said cheap labor was evil or that foreigners aren't people. I never made a judgement good, neutral, bad. Not sure why you read it that way?
