Sorry! I said what I said and I stand by it. The Chair Force is known as such because most of their jobs are done from a seated position.
Like teachers?
Follow my ass around for a day and you'd be begging to see a chair. I spend maybe 30 minutes a day seated and 20 minutes of that is lunch!

of course they doI said it before I'll say it againGood for you if you can but 57% (down from 63%) of us can't, which is the legacy of the worst president this country has ever known. And if you doubt that, look at what President Trump has already done about it in less than 50 days. When our new President says he "inherited a mess", this simple test answers the question...do you have $500 today?
What we found is that according to a recent Bankrate survey of 1,000 adults, 57% of Americans don’t have enough cash to cover a mere $500 unexpected expense. Turns out the CEO was right. And while that may appear dire, it is a slight improvement from 2016, when 63% of U.S. residents said they wouldn’t be able to handle such an expense.
The survey's findings have shed light on how the so-called recovery of the past 8 years has skipped about half of the US population, which literally live paycheck to paycheck, and reflects a country in which many households continue to struggle with their basic finances more than seven years after the official end to the recession.
Putting the numbers in context: despite steady job growth during the Obama administration - which have been focused on minimum wage industries - wages have been predictably slow to recover, with the typical American household still earning 2.4% below what they brought home in 1999, when income peaked. Meanwhile, costs for essentials such as housing and child care have surged faster than the rate of inflation, placing stress on household budgets and making the accumulation of wealth, i.e., savings, impossible.
The bottom line: About four out of 10 Americans said they had enough in savings to cover a surprise $500 expense. Another 21% said they would rely on a credit card, while 20% said they’d cut back on other expenses. Another 11% said they’d turn to family or friends for the money.

Republicans fought raising wages for working class Americans.

If you spend more than you make and never save a dime it's your own fault no one else's
Do American workers have a dime to save?
That would be good for most people but all my family does is want to borrow money and never pay me back.

Do American workers have a dime to save?
From 1990 to 2015 wages have increased 65%, whereas cost have increased 82%, so with a 17% deficit in wage vs. cost, how could a worker have a dime to save?
Working at -30 F (which means -34 C)....what the hell....Now that is just incredibly stupid. I had one of those government jobs. Doing core drilling and running seismic line for roads on Forest Service land. And in the summer, helped on fires as needed. Now some of those roads that we core drilled for bridge footings, cuts through hills, and augered to learn the makeup of the soil that the road base would be setting on. We worked summer and winter, including a couple of days at -30 F. Some of those roads are now state highways. That was hardly paperwork without any value.Unfortunately social injustice is everywhere....
That's why people need some help from the government
Hello Esther!Here in the US we need much LESS "help" from our government...we need it to get the hell out of the way and stop meddling in our business. Government creates nothing but government jobs which create mostly paperwork without any value.
You should really do some homework before commenting.

You are definitely the first two.

Again, because of Barack Obama's failed left-wing policies.
That's a manifesto, not a fact, sonny. What about the others? Yep, you tried a deflection, a poor one.

No. The Democrat party is the most divisive political machination in American history. And they lost. Badly. Now we see full on, their unwillingness to come together. Divisivness is their stock,and trade.
