My data is real life experience.
My data? Decades of real life experience and discussions with many people in many communities and professions.
Data sets are easily manipulated anyway.
Basic principles: increased competition for limited resources = higher prices, shortages. Oversupply = lower prices.
HOUSING, for example: the donor class and it's USGov imported millions of cheap foreign workers (many of whom have families) who require housing, healthcare, education, etc.
The STVR industry (AirBnb, Vrbo, etc) made the problem worse - especially in destination areas. 1 person owns 3 properties.
The result? Housing prices skyrocketed.
Additionally, US workers are increasingly forced to compete against cheap foreign counterparts for jobs (skilled, unskilled). US workers' wages fall and/ or unemployment increases.
Taxpaying Americans are forced to subsidize all of it directly or by proxy several times over. The donor class doesn't build housing for their visa'ed workers, doesn't provide healthcare or education.
Entire working class neighborhoods have become semi-closed to outsiders... to Americans; we're not welcome there. Majority of neighborhoods in destination areas are STVRs; we can't afford to live there.
Compound effects of lower wages and increased competition = death of American Dream. It starts with the lower working class and spreads upwards.
Lastly, many gov administrations tout their fake data. No one believes it anymore.
