Yeah, you always have an excuse... Point is, there is plenty of work you can do... but my sister really couldn't do anything... you know, being blind and all. They tried to make her work at a computer answering medical questions over the phone... but that didn't work out so well.
But you keep collecting that government Cheese, Welfare Ray.
I will, thank you.
It's not the point of finding work I can do, it's about finding work I could actually make a reasonable living at which can't be done, especially in an environment of 6.5% unemployment. Even in good times when employers are desperate, they avoid hiring older people for reasons that I stated. We can't lift as much as a young person, we can't go nearly as fast, we don't catch on to doing something we've never done before very quickly like younger people can, especially when it comes to technology, and employers assume we will not be sticking around for a very long time. Like I said, you live in your own fantasy world.
Not really. In fact, even with Affirmative Action, blacks are less likely to get hired. The biggest winners with affirmative action have been WHITE WOMEN. You get just as many points for hiring a white chick that you get for hiring a black person, that's the thing... and they really do work for less.
Bullshit. Give me one case where a white woman was hired over a minority and the minority lost the suit against the company.
Affirmative Action for women is against men--not people of different races.
