I know plenty that are so beaten down they beg for the gov handout just to survive
Lots of sweeping conclusions in the article and not much support. I'd bet this trend has been going on at least 30 years and has built up gradually as more and more manufacturing jobs that provided a middle class living were moved out of the US, or simply lost to cheap imports as tariffs were reduced or eliminated.
Not buying the author's "not for lack of jobs" claim. There probably are unfilled jobs in some limited areas, but nothing remotely approaching the drop of several million in the workforce participation rate.
If you have young sons, tell them to work hard and buy real estate. Rent out to welfare types who end up owning nothing. Collect the Govt checks then have their own family.
I retired at age 50 at the end of 1994.
Still doing just fine, thank you.
Not to worry, when Hillary gets us into WWIII, that problem will be taken care of.
Those are the types that trash houses and cost more in repairs.
I doubt that, as*h*le.
Raising men to be women doesn’t work.
should I start makin the popcorn ?
“I doubt that, as*h*le.”
So I have designed and built mechanical and electrical systems to control multiple hundred million dollar plants, I can spec all of the equipment, and figure out complex systems both on the mechanical and electrical side. I write the automation from the ground up. I can wire all the panels and motors and drives and field devices, bend the conduit, do basic welding. I design and deploy database systems and gateways linking all of the plant floor information systems and remote field devices connecting the whole shibang through SQL servers to the corporate oracle systems. I write statistical analysis programs, design hmi systems for operators. On the side, I design large database applications for medical groups. So yeah, i do design, electrical and mechanical for multimillion dollar manufacturing facilities. I can weld, I can wire, I can hang conduit, I can program the plcs that control the equipment, I can design the hmis, I can design the databases and connect them all corporate wide, I can write applications to process this data both in very old school languages and the new ones. I have done this in 20 countries in North and South America, the middle East, and Asia. What can you do, a$$hole?
None of your business, you hack electrician.
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left and took all the reasons
I was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
'Cause I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
It's just that simple.
Relax.
You accomplish many aspects of the world of IT but I’ll be damned if you touch my stage 4 UPS.
Be proud of your work.
That’s a lot of stuff that you do, but what really won me over is your modesty.
None of your business, you hack electrician.
I am a mechanical engineer by education, though unlike you I actually respect electricians
It was the Lesbian feminists like Hillary who applaude this. Take away a man’s self worth and he will give up his status and also give up looking for a mate. This is Provides women for Lesbians to entice as their own mates along with more status and power. Usher in gay marriage and you have a recipe for replacing the male completely. Oh, and as far as children, there’s always adoption, one night stands or the sperm bank.
Sun Tzu
Not me, chump. I respect excellent electricians. Believe me, I’ve seen many shoddy electricians in my day. It’s almost common.
The answer is simple...end all welfare. Hunger has a way of motivating people to work.
