even the way you pose questions is derogatory. You mean a cook. You post about people as if they are some kind of corporate property unit that comes out of a box and are meant to be used up and disposed of. Like they aren't citizens of your country.
Do you know why they live in poor towns? Why they have high health care costs, drug addiction, untreated sickness, poor, sporadic housing, homelessness, bad diets, high crime rates, crumbling schools and infrastructure from eroding tax bases? It's because when you pay people less than they need to live on, it unwinds an endless skein of misery and high-cost problems on everybody. And you want to volunteer all of us to take on these socio-economic problems so businesses, who have no allegiance to you and give you nothing, wouldn't cross a street to piss on you if you were on fire, have a steady supply of cheap labor? That's not very patriotic.
