People are really believing Walmart jobs are good jobs. Unreal. You can't really believe that. God what a horrible fate.
People need job skills to build a resume, sitting at home collecting welfare won't get them anywhere
.
Why we on the right, have to explain what should be common sense to the left... is beyond my ability to understand.
I was working at a place over in Reynoldsburg Ohio.... Crap area... at a company called Dynalabs. They hired this engineer that was out of college two years.
He told me.... now get this... the kid was telling me this. Not the company, or CEO, or executive somewhere..... This kid said the worst thing he did was follow his idiotic mother (likely left-wing Obama supporting moron), who told him she didn't want him to get a job. No no .... don't work anywhere.... just go to college... but never do anything.
So he didn't...... never worked... never did anything.... Not a summer job, not a charity camp, nothing.... Zero work experience.
He gets out of college with his "I R Smrt" paper... and what happens? He can't get a job. Anywhere. Interview after interview. They would say "so you never worked a single full day on a job?" Nope.... "Ok we'll be in touch".
He could not get a job anywhere. He's got a degree, and he's almost unemployable. He spent a year looking for a job, after college, and could not land a position with anyone.
Finally, he calls up the college he attended, and they have a placement program, and they placed him in an internship at this dinky company, paying him relative peanuts to clean manufacturing equipment.
Work experience in an of itself.... IS VITAL. You morons on the left, want to saw off the economic ladder, the first few rungs that allow people to move up! You realize that most McDonald franchise owners are all people who started off minimum wage burger flippers?
The left would doom the majority of Americans to impoverishment if we let them have their way.
So you think that it takes a College Degree to work at walmart? Newsflash: It ain't Rocket Science. But every person deserves a living wage. Bread Winners should never be working on the bottom of either Walmart or Mickey Ds. Those jobs should be for kids still in school and HS dropouts. Or HS grads just passing through. But today, the bread winner may find themselves working for walmart at the beginning wage with no hope for progression. The other jobs that they would have gone to are overseas.
It's not a liberal or conservative problem yet both could start curing the problem by reinstating the regulations that were in place in the 70s and back that worked. It's going to take a strong man in washington to create a 25% tariff on China and others like them. We can do the manufacture either as cheaply or up to 20% over. And it gets even more towards 0% every day. Give the Corporations a nice tidy tax break to entice them back to the US. If they don't take advantage of those tax breaks, we tax them into non existance and someone else will stop up to the plate.
Sometimes, Capilazion needs a little help.
1. No I did not say, or suggest that you need a college degree to work at walmart.
2. No you don't deserve a living wage. You can not define what a living wage is. Nor does sucking air, and taking up space mean you deserve anything. Your existence does not entitle you to jack.
3. Bread winners should not be working on the bottom. But if you fail to do something worth more than working on the bottom, then that is what you get. It's up to you to make yourself more valuable. Not up to others to pay you more.
4. If you are the bread winner, and you find yourself working at walmart with no hope of progression, there is only one person to blame.... that's you.
5. There are millions of jobs. If you can't get one, it's because there is some reason you are unemployable. You would be just as unemployable over seas, as here. The problem is you.
6. The 1970s sucked. I have never met a single person anywhere, that said they wanted to go back to the 1970s. Not one.
7. Tariffs are what led us into the Great Depression. You want to eliminate millions of jobs, and really drive people to unemployment, just tariff the snot out of us, and you'll have no jobs at all. You'll be begging for a Walmart job, if you put in 25% tariffs on imports.
8. Really... "If they don't take advantage of those tax breaks, we tax them into non existance and someone else will stop up to the plate". Tax breaks will inherently spur economic activity.
But if you think that you are going to tax people into bankruptcy.... and then someone else will 'stop' up to the plate.... you are crazy fruit bat. Really?? So you see your buddy get taxed into oblivion, and your first thought is "Well I'll try it next".... really??
This is yet another example that if you would simply place yourself in the position you want to put others in, you would instantly understand how stupid it is.
Your neighbor was offered to enter a program where he no longer had to follow the speed limit, but if he had an accident, he would be put in prison for life, with no possibility of parole. He accepts, slides on some snow, and taps someone fender, ends up in prison for life.
They come to you and offer the same deal.... would you accept?
So a company in the US get's a tax cut if they invest and hire people in the US. They build computers. The computer market goes through a down turn, and they can't afford to hire people. You come in and tax them 100% until they go bankrupt.
Now what other company on the face of the planet is going to invest in the US, knowing they risk being bankrupted by the US government? None. Everyone ends up unemployed. All the companies leave the US. The entire country falls into a permanent great depression.
Brilliant move sparky. Brilliant. The Soviets would be proud. Ugh... people these days. Lot's of talk... zero thought.
