That's some soul sucking work. You earn that wage.

I walk around on high steel for $92/hr, it's stunning that I actually get paid for having fun.

Even big corporations, you guys realize that they aren't all sitting on massive piles of gold, right? The average Walmart location has about a two percent profit margin. When you go there and spend $50.00, they make a dollar in profit from the sale. A buck. The idea that just because they have huge gross profits they can afford to give everyone a six figure income shows an enormous lack of understanding of basic economics, but then again so does everyone who wants a higher minimum wage.

How many hours a week do you work? That's a lot of money for kid's work. Let's see a pay stub.

I couldn't remodel anything because the lumber yard were out of wood from everyone else renovating and doing home projects

Small contractors can still operate under the radar under "shutdown."

You're missing the point.

Make one, then.

If you want a real salary, you have to get a real job. Unskilled work is for kids, not for paying bills. That's my point. Yours?

A subway franchise REMODELED during the 7 week covid shutdown.

I couldn't remodel that in a year.

A business decided to shut down and do work on their facility at a time when they couldn't open for business anyway?

That's it, capitalism doesn't work!

Back then you could get a college education with a part time job.

Why is it now that you cannot get one if you work THREE jobs.

Back when? I'm talking about today.

I live my life by two simple rules. Rule 1: Never share everything you know. Rule 2:

Unskilled labor is not a career. If you want a real wage, you have to get a real job. A job at McDonald's won't support an adult's living expenses because it's a job meant for a teenager living at home. It takes an adult job to pull an adult wage. I work with kids in their early 20s who own homes and have wives and kids because our profession makes money. And this is in New Jersey, where the cost of living is sky high. If all you're willing to do is punch the cash register at the grocery store, you don't get to complain that you can't live on your own on that wage.

no shit. The point is in America that doesnt matter they all face the same discrimination in my experience.

is basically what you're saying with your post, better send grandma and grandpa back to work to get COVID for the economy!

Uhh, no. Grandpa and Grandma were already retired on a fixed income, people in that situation aren't financially affected by COVID. We need to end the shutdowns and let people go back to their jobs, and provide financial incentives to restart businesses that have closed down.

This is the difference between left and right. A lefty sees a person with no money and thinks "That person needs a government handout!" A righty sees a person with no money and thinks "That person needs a job!"

Depends on her height. If she's 5'0", she probably won't notice. If she's 5'8", she's going to notice.

I was doing some side work for a woman once, and we were just talking in her kitchen, and she said something about how I had to be at least 6'4". I'm absolutely not. Sliver under 6'2". She insisted, and said her ex husband was 6'0", so I must be at least 6'4". We realized her husband had been lying to her about his height for their entire 30+ years of marriage.

Reality is that the economy is doing great, unemployment is reasonable and people's wages are growing. By the numbers, our country is doing just fine. Now enter Joe Biden, who's promised to put millions out of work and drive up our energy bills.

That's going to be an issue since Trump isn't going to lose. The Democrats running on a platform of foreign corruption, higher taxes and more illegal aliens isn't really going over as well as they thought it would.

the electoral college is un democratic. maybe it made sense like 300 years ago. but not now

Well yes, because the United States is not a democracy. It's a republic. We aren't governed by mob rule, thank God.

That said, this poll is dumpster. It's a tiny sample and according to their own results, the number of people who support abolishing the Electoral College is historically LOW.

Because people with jobs, families, and homes need to go out and do stuff. Simple question, do you have ANY of the aforementioned? Do you have a job? Do you have children who depend on you? Do you have a property tax bill and a mortgage to pay?

Most likely not, or else you'd understand why everyone else doesn't want to stay cooped up in their houses any more.

For Trump to lose, Biden has to win. Ruminate on that idea for a moment. The man who doesn't know where he his, who he is, what office he's running for, or even what year it is... has to beat Trump.

Good luck with that. TRUMP 2020
