Unemployment Benefits?

[SUPER SPOOK]

unemployment comp. is average of 300.00 per week. Based on 40 hours, that's 8 bucks an hour. Just about minimum wage. I would like to think that most of the unemployed would rather have a job, but that's probably delusional. Whatever happened to wishing the best for folks, especially the least among us. BTW, Bruce food stamps are on the way out too. I often wonder how folks make out on minimum wage. Pay rent, utilities, child care while they're at work, car insurance and gas (if they has a car). Something has to happen otherwise when folks get hungry enough the crime rates going to triple. But i guess that's why we all have guns, and so will they.

YES , that's why we all have guns bro. because that's what it will come to. i'm on my rant. get rid of the illegals, problem solved except a few scum bags that wont change their ways anyway. the whole world is fkt, not enough water or food for any of us before long. lol

[SUPER SPOOK]

[SUPER SPOOK]

And where do you think that vote is going?

I don't think a minimum wage job is intended to be a career family supporting job . It's meant for teenagers , college kids and extra income . If you have no skill or training your labor isn't worth much . Anyone can flip burgers . The communist philosophy says everyone should get paid pretty much the same because their labor is equally valuable . Not everyone has the intellect and motor skills to be a brain surgeon , or drive to excell in school and spend 10 Or so years in higher education and being poor in the process . Supply and demand . They can demand more for their services because not everyone is not suited for medicine .

and if I wasn't for the illegals, people without college could make $15 dollars an hour cutting lawns! fkn deport them all. how easy can that be? they are making cash and sending half of it back to they're country with no taxes. WTF! and Obama wants to make them all citizens? civil war here we come!

[SUPER SPOOK]

If minimum wage was say , $20 an hour at the burger joint how much more would the burgers cost ? Let cooperate eat the difference you say . Those guys who had the drive to go to school and did without to start a new business ?

That would be true if they were working for the money. But they aren't.l

That would be true if they were working for the money. But they aren't. All they have to do is turn in one application a week. I'll be generous and say that takes an hour. So, we're are paying them $300 an hour to find a job.

That's lawyer wages and when job hunting they don't have to hire an office full of people to support them on that pay rate like a lawyer does.

And so what about people making making minimum wage. What's that saying about why would someone with minimal education, minimal skills and minimal desire and work ethic expect to make more than a minimum wage?

How many of those poor people have cell phones, xboxes, internet and cable tv? Is poor really poor anymore?

I've worked 3 part time jobs at minimum wage all at once to feed me, pay my rent and keep the lights on. I was able to do that without having a cell phone, home phone, pay tv, or game console. I never considered that I was owed any better. You work hard, you get noticed for hard work and opportunity finds you.

Sitting on your duff playing the woe is me card for days, weeks, months or years on end gets you no where fast. Did I like working my *** off for pennies? Hell no, and that memory is what still drives me.

I saw a sign at Bucees today saying they will pay you 10-12 bucks an hour to work there. That's not bank but it's something.

I think they should all get minimum wage jobs so they'll qualify for food stamps .

We can not afford to continue to pay millions for not working. Now it's "just three more months", and then what; a permanent paid unemployed class of millions? They'll keep voting to get the money and delusional, well-meaning people like Harvey will continue to vote the same way.......until the country grinds to a halt.
