Republican plan to fix labor shortage.

[initforme]

that’s a shame

Nah it's just the reality. No shame in it.

 

[BULLDOG]

I’m guessing the Biden regime is lying about the number of jobs available like they lied about how many jobs they created……by 99%.

Of course you are guessing.

 

[Nostra]

Of course you are guessing.

At this point, yes. Their lies have yet to be exposed like their lies on job creation.

 

[1srelluc]

So your problem is the facts... Just get rid of the people with the facts and everything will be OK..

The only "fact" with those people that I'm aware of is that they lower the quality of my life. They are a pestilence and what do you do with pests?

 

[struth]

Nah it's just the reality. No shame in it.

maybe for you…and i agree there are many folks like you…that have no desire to make their country better…just take from it

it is shameful

They won't take the jobs that are attractive. That's the real problem.

I'm a retired truck driver. Today we are short over 50,000 drivers industry can't find. Driving can pay up to 6 figures depending on what you're willing to do. Even local jobs you can make 60K a year with great benefits. Can't find people to fill these jobs.

At one time you had to just about know somebody to get a job as a package delivery driver at UPS. Today they'll hire anybody willing to do the job. UPS package drivers make up to 80K a year.

My father is a retired bricklayer. The union sends out pamphlets about the industry to their retirees. They are offering their retirees $500.00 for every young recruit they can find to join the trade. Granted bricklaying is tough work, but my father made a great living and retirement laying brick. With benefits, it pays in the $50.00 an hour range plus all the OT you want. Free training too. All you have to do is be willing to work and get off of dope to pass random drug screens.

Walmart truck drivers paid at least $95,000 after wage increase

Walmart workers who once unloaded trucks now have a chance to drive them.

So what are the repubs going to do to change that?

 

[BULLDOG]

so they will all become citizens....right?.....

Don't know. We need an immigrant workers bill where they can come harvest the crops, and then go home, like they have done for a long time.

Give all the lazy-ass leftist vermin all the crank they can jam into their veins. That'll end the labor shortage!

I used to have a meth head neighbor who used to come and scrub my floors and windows and shower enclosures and whatever other jobs I'd let her do when she was really tweaking. She'd work like a mofo just to be doing it and I got a really clean house without busting my ass. I had to let her go when I caught her painting the grout lines between my bathroom tiles.

Tell us why there is still poor people when we are in the seventh decade of the War on Poverty? Schools even give a minimum of two meals a day and many more three a day. Taxpayers re owed a reason after spending trillions and trillions of dollars. There is compassion. At what point is it just being a sucker? Something is wrong if the demographics of the percentage poor does not change but the percentage of funds needed rises higher and higher to keep people's heads above water

You have no idea how absurd that sounds, do you?

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

So what are the repubs going to do to change that?

Not much they can do being we only have a one person majority in one-third of our federal government. Now if we had much more power or lived in an autocracy, that would be a totally different story. We could start cutting government programs for people who are more than physically and mentally capable of holding a job. In many states like mine you have to give unemployment the names of companies you applied at in an attempt to gain employment. Of course nobody ever checks theses things. People just look up names of companies on the internet and jot them down as if they applied.

Pressure states to start a program to check the validity of these applicants to make sure they did indeed apply for the jobs they said they did. Perhaps offer federal money to help pay for such a program instead of giving 45 billion to Ukraine and billions to Egypt to secure their borders.

You mean we are not doing that now?

all the years i lived in California they have always had migrant farm workers....and many never went home....

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Yes.
Put back the welfare limits that Clinton passed, and just like that... meth use goes down and the number of people looking for work increases.

In my experiences I learned there is a way to get more people working and the working to better paying jobs: Make a law against random drug screening. I don't know how many companies I delivered to that were desperate for help, but couldn't find anybody that could pass a drug test. Mind you this wouldn't apply to people intoxicated on the job, but WTF should anybody care if a worker smoked a joint two weekends ago?

I knew some very good hard working people in my life that sadly chose to work lower paying jobs instead of getting off the dope. Two of them were tenants of mine. Great people, but both working fast food jobs for low money. I'm willing to bet there are tens of millions like them all across the country.
The problem? Insurance companies run our country, not the people. Law makers would never create legislation outlawing random drug screens.

Indeed, but for decades we have been taught that without college you are stuck in minimum wage. Three of the five baggers at our grocery store have college degrees.

My grandson wants to be a welder. I told him to go for it. There are decent bucks there.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

So your great idea is because I support social safety nets, I should vote for Republicans who promise to dissolve them so they could give away more tax cuts to the rich

Crazy much?

It's not an all or nothing game. You can have safety nets for people that actually need them while still making sure that people who are abusing them are not taking advantage of government goodies when they have other options like working.

There is no excuse in the world for anybody physically and mentally capable (especially younger people) to be on any program with these amount of open jobs. No excuse whatsoever.

I couldn't agree more, but unfortunately younger people don't want to get their hands dirty today. They go to college so the most lifting they have to do is their briefcase.

I have met so many other truck drivers in my career that also had a college degree. They went into trucking because it paid better and had ten times more job availability than the careers they were trained in college for. They regret wasting all that money. That's why I've always said we need a law that nobody can attend college until the age of 21. Work for a few years, learn a lot of things. Live with mom and pop and save every dollar you can in case you still want to go to college at 21. It would help with the labor shortage, people having much less debt who do go to college, and people are more mature and have a better idea what direction they wish to go at 21 than they do at 18.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Well if they are living at home with their parents how is that bad if they aren't getting any handouts?

There is a reason the moma bird kicks the young out of the nest when they are able to fly, it's so they have a chance at survival. If moma fed them all of their lives and died one day, those now adult birds would have no ability to take care of themselves. They would have no idea how to.

Because we did it wrong. We had an organization that took people off the streets and got them on their feet. Politicians came from all over the country to learn what he did. They went back home and did none of it.
