"The owner of an Omaha food packaging company says his business has been unfairly hamstrung by federal immigration officials, who raided the plant and arrested more than half its workforce.

Scardina was asked if he now regrets voting for Trump: 'Buyer’s remorse? I don’t know, a little bit. I know of one landscaper that lost 9 or 10 of his whole crew he had and he’s just totally out of business all of a sudden, just like that.'”
Ron Filipkowski reports on a Trump supporter who's surprised that his pro-Trump vote has now led to the decimation of his own business:
"Trump supporter Vincent Scardina is upset that ICE just grabbed a third of the workers from his roofing company in the Florida Keys for deportation. To NBC6: 'It’s quite a shock. You get to know these guys, you become their friends - not just an employer but a friend.'"

note（ノート）Foreign workers｜ポイズン雷花Accepting immigrants is one option, but I hope it doesn't end up like Japan. In Japan, foreign workers are often subjected to discrimination! They let in a lot of people when they're needed, and when they're no longer needed, they're cut off. "You don't need to be here, go back to your country."

Я сподіваюся, що прийняти іммігрантів є одним із варіантів і що ми не закінчимо, як Японія.

Leaving aside the ONS' current travails with their workforce data, I think we can take as pretty indicative their confirmation that hybrid working is highly class determined, with workers with degrees & in white collar jobs much more likely (unsurprisingly) to be able to work from home....
Over a quarter of workers now 'enjoy' hybrid working & they are much more likely to be living in the UK's least deprived areas.
