Oregon does the same nonsense.
It’s better people should work than go on the dole.
Any honest work is honorable and the honest worker worthy of respect.
The people who shape our society scorn the poor, the lowly, the humble, the not so bright.
OMG, an article from the Atlantic that was reasonably thought out and made sense!
Pumping gas. “ An absurd and useless job”.
It takes a lot of know how to find the gas filler on a 56 Chevy and some other cars of that era. And it is difficult to put the gas in older cars without spilling it all over. The nozzles don’t fit right. You need a trained professional to do the job.
We live in a small town in NJ on the Pa. border.When Krispy Kreme raised the gas tax both of our gas stations lost about 25% of their business. Instead of opening at 06:00 and closing at 10:00 pm they open at 07:00 and close at 8:pm.
What happens if you don’t squeeze the trigger hard enough, the lock doesn’t engage, and you have to squeeze again? That’s half a second wasted. States like mine require a professional, therefore.
The last time I was in Oregon, maybe three years ago, one could not pump one’s gas.
On a Harley, though, the let you pump it yourself.
There was a time when you could support a family by working a job such as elevator operator. Stay-at-home wife. No welfare check.
Because back then you really didn't need much stuff at all. Clothes, Food, Rent, maybe one or two appliances, some furniture. Pretty much that was all you needed. Food was made from scratch.
You can live without pictures, or flowers, or art
You can live without passion, you can live without heart
You can live without houses, or autos, or books
But civilized man cannot live without COOKS.
Soon we will all have living wage jobs at the John Kerry Memorial Solar Panel Gulag.
Those who perished digging the Hawksnest Tunnel would be amused.
Daughter was engaged to be married when he lost his job. His uncle owned some kind of business that does a lot of manual labor...think they repave roads and driveways type company. Uncle offered him a job and he turned it down. I went over there and asked why. He said....I’m not doing that kind of dirty work. I said......a real man will dig ditches to feed his family. Apparently you’re not a real man....get out. I then looked at daughter and said....don’t say a word. lol After he packed his stuff and left she said....you just beat me to telling him to leave.
The two of you are made of strong stuff!
I watched my step dad do plenty of dirty jobs to support us all. I can’t/won’t tolerate that BS.
The solution to having a low paying job is simple
Get off your lazy unmotivated ass and educate yourself.
Democrat voter base is lazy and unmotivated or shameful that others are lazy and unmotivated
