Part of why so many key industries are *so* dependent on immigrants is that our schools have an oddly narrow view of what kids can do with their lives. They aren't told they could, like, buy a gas station.

American public schools subtly imply that all jobs are email or retail.

We didn't have a class with it, even the optional personal finance class as far as I knew, but we had 10,000 other things redditors constantly claim they never encountered.
K-12 still needs a massive overhaul though, including teaching lots of things I heard rightoids sneer that kids should have learned at home.

We filled out a fake 1040 in an optional microecon class that I took in HS but we spent 15 minutes on it total and it wasn't part of the curriculum, the teacher was just neurodivergent (she was really good for a high school teacher but also kinda weird)

God, that shit pisses me off. Leaving aside the fact that most schools have some sort of "personal finance" course at some point, a class in taxes specifically would be completely pointless, even if every single student paid attention like their lives depended on it.
!fincels, for 95% of the population, basic recordkeeping and arithmetic are sufficient to do their taxes. 95% of the 5% this doesn't apply to make enough money that they can and should hire an accountant. The remaining 0.25% of people that aren't well-off, but have complicated taxes anyway, are both the only people who actually need help and the only people who can't possibly be served by some generalized high school course in filling out paperwork.
The insistence that schools should "teach kids about taxes" is just another example of !peakpoors trying to abdicate responsibility for the problems in their lives. They'd rather blame the system than crunch some numbers for a couple hours once a year.

Exactly, small physical businesses make shit for money, although it can turn out ok in the long run. A popular music venue/bar in my college town was owned by two guys who were literally in there working 7 days a week for 20 or 30 years. I doubt they made much money off the bar but they kept investing their profits into the local area and eventually owned the entire building the bar was in. It's not there anymore, but those guys probably made several million dollars off selling that thing based on the part of town it was in and who bought it from them.

This is the fundamental misunderstanding of consumer intent Burger's just can't seem too understand.
Most people don't give a shit about craftsmanship, they want a car that will work for a few years and is relatively cheap too maintain & operate. Having a block where there is no cylinder scoring or scratching after 100k miles does not help with that goal given the cost involved.
@fedposter find craftsmanship sexy, as do you, but we are cute twinks who care about stupid shit most people don't. It doesn't matter too the average consumer and never will again.

Probably shouldn't say this but I actually personally know and once had some business dealings with some of the O.G. immigrants who started the mass takeover of convenience stores in Notheast by Indian and Lebanese immigrants, respectively.
Both of them had essentially the same business model: they cam over as young men with a small amount of money by American standards, but enough to make a down-payment on either a house or a business. This was way back in like the 1980s or 1990s smth.
This was an era when supermarkets and bog-box stores were devouring tons of market-share of small local groceries and corner stores. The mom-and-pops in dense urban neighborhoods were getting snapped up and rebranded by national and regional C-store chains, but the more suburban/rural locations were available for a song, because the owners getting ready to retire had kids who were in film school or law school or something, with no interest in spending their life behind a cash-register.
So these immigrant guys would put a down payment on the local corner store in some random town, sleep on a cot in the back room, and sit in front of the cash register for 16 hours a day selling cigarettes and scratch-tickets until they could pay off the mortgage, then bring over some cousin or nephew as a sort of replacement, while they rolled the money over into buying another store. It's like a franchise/indentured-servitude system for extended family, where you spend 10 years living on a cot in the back room, and then you can pay it off and afford to bring over your family and buy a house or another store. Each of these guys now 100s of locations run by extended family or friends of friends, and is a sort of Godfather figure, in their communities.
And it's correct that Americans don't generally want to fill these roles. Finding a sober, intelligent, competent American 20-something who wants to commit to spending the next 5-10 years working 16-hour days, 7 days a week, with no vacation, and living off of food they can microwave in the store, with essentially no other wage than eating food from the walk-in and a place to put an air-mattress in back...there are places in the world where that sounds like a dream opportunity, if the end result is that your store is yours, and the income can buy a house or another store like it. But those places are not generally in America.
