Well it’s hard working Americans that keep the welfare system going.
Depression => WWII
Just look at Greece/France
Easy. We print more and more unbacked, fiat money, to support the government debt used to pay for bread and circuses
It is why the Federal Reserve, and our socialized, centrally-planned currency are the foundation of left/progressive government. You can't have an massive welfare state without it.
Interesting read.
We hear how kids in school are coddled nowadays, with everything from banning “dangerous” games such as dodgeball, to teachers not being allowed to give a failing grade to a student, to emphasis on self esteem.
We hear how some kids sports play the games but don’t keep score, so as not to hurt the self esteem of the losing team.
We hear how some kids sports give a trophy to everyone for participating, and don’t give awards to those who actually achieved something. Again, this is done to allegedly not hurt the feelings or self esteem of those who didn’t qualify based on merit for an honor.
Kids are coddled in different ways, and then, are completely shocked when they go to work, and find a boss who expects them to do actual work in a manner in which instructed, expects them to show up on time for work, expects them to do messy or less desirable tasks which are part of the job, and expects them to do the work and not bitch about it.
I've become a Luddite. Maybe the solution is LESS efficiency in providing for what people need and going back to communities where most often women raise children and provide a home environment and men provide for their needs and protect them. If there is an excess of fighting age men, use them to build pyramids or walls or draft them or anything to keep them productive and necessary.
How's that for an outlier view?
Being unemployed for the last five months, I started my own small business, (not making much money on it, yet) not enough to pay the bills...
I took a "gig" job a few weeks ago for a week. I worked 58 hours, one day for 17 hours...I never heard of a "gig" job before..
It was very hard work, but I did it...
Definitely made me re-evaluate my small business model and job search to get back in the work force...
Bottom line is I believe most americans if given the chance will respond to the chance to work again...rather sit on their butts...
Stop horrifying the poor fascists. They are under enough stress lately, with Hillary mired in scandal and Jeb stuck at 4%. :)
Which is an absolute consequence of
Foreigners are brought into the country to replace them.
H1B1. If this wasn’t saving money and getting the same or better quality worker, companies wouldn’t be doing it.
I’ve had business owners tell me one “Mexican” (their description of any Hispanic) will do the work of four blacks. Illegals are here to replace the low education laborers who are now at 50% unemployment in the major cities. But they keep voting for Democrats regardless...
We become what Russia became during the Stalin/Marxist years, a nation of gimmedats unable to do even the simplest tasks and unwilling to care about their own future which they saw as dark and unsalvageable.
Our daughter is a college freshman. She feels like the “toughest kid in pre-school” because her classmates seem so coddled.
Even though her brothers have emphasized that she is the wimp in the family ;-) ... she has had real jobs, can sort of take care of her own truck, and would come up with ideas for free time other than shopping and watching TV.
The other kids so far seem like cast-aways without their folks scheduling all their activities, paying their way and monitoring every interaction.
They scare me.
