Can MAGA's really be MAGA's without the f-bomb?
Is vulgarity a mandatory component of the secret ceremony they undertake to join the cult?

Places are begging for nurses. That’s neither grunt labor nor low wage.

Teachers, engineers, police departments. All hiring like crazy.

Anyone who wants a decent job and is able bodied can get one.

Ummmm
They are not good jobs.
Been looking and these "good jobs" are crap wages and crap conditions for above average skills. They are only taken by the most financially desperate temporarily.

Police have been quitting in droves. EVERY police department is short staffed since Derek Chauvin and the whole BLM riots.

Nurses?
Even RNs are a 2 year degree anymore.

Teachers?
Of course these are going empty too because no one wants to get beaten half to death by students and then blamed for the beating. That is if you don't mind being forced to teach sexuality instead of math, science, language and engineering for extremely low pay.


There is good reasons why these jobs are going left unfilled. Educated people are smarter than that.

Record GDP?
The current GDP is a result of government spending....it's an exact match of spending increases by our Government and not real growth.
And it's unsustainable. Meaning more money printing and more inflation. All while real business fails and dies from high interest rates. There is not an economist that is not politically motivated that says things are great....all are saying the exact opposite. We are headed for either a serious recession or deep depression.

They are saying it about the GOP House.

No they're saying it about Dementia Tater

 

[Superbadbrutha]

To live bro, to have heat, food, you know basic things that your mom and dad still provide you . But they are taking on massive debt to do it credit card debt has skyrocketed thanks to your demafasict policies

Folks are shopping and buying gifts for Christmas, dumbass. You don't need that to live, see most black women aren't like you laying on their backs for various white men to take care of them. My parents passed away years ago, boot licker.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Biden lost the Bronx because of this great economy.

Ah hell, you can go anywhere and find a Trump Humper.

 

[Papageorgio]

And that would be a CruzMessage straight from?
Cancun?

Look, poster Leo, here's my beef with Ted Cruz (who, btw, was a champion debater in school), anyway, he is a man who when a political opponent very publicly (Don Trump)....suggested Cruz's wife was ugly, Cruz rolled over. And let him dis his wife.

In my sense of values, in the zeitgeist of my local rural culture.......he's a weak assed limp-wristed wimp. As such, it hard for my poor avatar to give Ted Cruz any credibility whatsoever. So citing Cancun Cruz as your source of wisdom and insight faces an uphill struggle.
Think Sisyphus.

So there is that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------



Ah, poor George, it ain't like that.
You have sadly misread.
Go back. Carefully. Re-think. Re-calibrate.
Good luck.

And note ---- America's inflation rate ain't all that bad vs. the world we live in. So don't whine about paying more for groceries. Move to Turkey.....and deal with their 60%. Or Russia with their 6.7%.
Be glad you were born on third-base here in America.
So quit your whining and complaining.

Duh!

----------------------------------------------------

And you, good poster Harry, should go get a job and quit whining that someone else should be buying your groceries, and paying your rent.

Be a can-do get-er-done American.
Don't be a whining and complaining ne'er-do-well.
Plenty of migrants want to replace lazy, whiney, complaining Americans who wallow in their own failures.

And good luck.

I am doing fine, the inflation rate was and is an issue for working Americans, pay has not kept up with inflation. Credit card debt is the highest in US history. Bankruptcy filings are up 13%, affordable housing is gone in many areas, increased homelessness, all signs are pointing to a greater problem, the division between the have and have nots is increasing and large spending bills increase the divide. I realize you can’t bitch about the economy because your party is in power but we have some serious economic issues.

Sad that in a great country like ours you want to settle. I want better for everyone and our heavy debt hurts us. When rent in cities is so high that those making $30 an hour are spending 35% and up of their income in rent, in most cities, there is a problem. Homelessness in Portland, Oregon is up 65% from five years ago and getting worse.

We need spending cuts, less money printed, higher taxes until we can right the ship.

I’ll be dead soon but my kids, and grandkids are going to suffer from irresponsible government. I know you don’t give a shit about the world as long as your guy is in power, partisan Democrats and Republicans are idiots, thanks for proving it.

Nurses?
Even RNs are a 2 year degree anymore

You can still absolutely get your RN with a two year associates degree

LPN with less education than that.

Both pay better than most jobs a 4 year degree will get you

How high do wages have to be to not be “crap”

Nurses make very good wages

Yep they are buying things for Xmas now too…not sure your point.

Nope....when doing a risk/reward analysis the pay is crap. Doctors always blame the nurses for their mistakes. Then there's the exposure to EVERY communicable disease from TB to STDs and of course Covid and MRSA that runs rampant. (HIV & Hepatitis too) Then there's the never ending graveyard shifts and working EVERY holiday. The chances of getting a debilitating injury from doing patient care is extremely high. Then there's the normal ongoing issues with co-workers that causes you to work double shifts and more recently can lead to criminal charges for accidents from being exhausted.



That's why there's a nursing shortage. They ain't dumb either.

Yet they have the highest rates of single motherhood... They're laying on their backs for someone. Maybe they should have chosen "various white men". The return on investment would probably be better. Convicts don't pay child support. Just sayin'...

 

[struth]

Ah hell, you can go anywhere and find a Trump Humper.

True, based on recently polling there are certainly a lot of trump supporters out there

Don’t worry though nobody here is gonna ask you to do simple math

 

[Independentthinker]

Yet, and still, we're experiencing RECORD spending this holiday season.

2023 Holiday to Reach Record Spending Levels

Winter holidays 2023 are expected to reach record spending levels.

How Sway?!?!?

Polls show 76% of Americans are financially worse off under Biden. 70% of Americans say the country is going in the wrong direction. Polls show Americans believe Republicans are better off handling the economy. Inflation is still too high. Evictions are at a high. Foreclosures are at a high. Auto loan defaults are at a high. Credit card debt is at a high. Savings and retirement accounts have record withdraws. Lie all you want, Americans know the truth. And, remember, it is YOU guys who say things are so bad that people can't afford to pay their student loans.

Most wages at large institutions have only risen 5-6% overall....however the cost of living has risen a minimum of 25% and in some areas 40%.

Smaller businesses that employ professionals requiring post-secondary educations have seen drastic turnover rates and have had to increase wages 40% or be OUT OF BUSINESS. And many had to close their doors because they couldn't raise revenues to cover increased costs...especially wages.

So....
We are heading for another crisis and this one will involve bankruptcy rates....meaning that consumer debt, while currently holding up the US economy, is going to fail and cause massive bankruptcies. This is going to again hit our banking system in a widespread manner and cause another bank failure cascade.

We are in for a rough ride ladies and gentlemen....depreciating cash is king and paid off mortgages are the best status symbol.

Metals are usually a "safe haven " for most investors but with the current literal "dumping" of gold on the market by nations also in financial distress needing cash and the various armed conflicts raiding gold depositaries....even metals aren't safe.

This is going to be a very rough ride.

The economy is sooo bad, how bad is it, it's so bad I can't afford to pay attention...

If the media tells these sheepe their team is winning; let them line up for the fleecing. They deserve what they get.

To Democrats getting government checks, the Federal Debt doesn't matter, the government check does....

If you had a chart that didn't stop over a decade ago, that would be awesome!
