Money isn’t an issue, is it? We have no one left to work, we need bodies. I showed you the stats, no one is claiming unemployment, everyone who wants to work has a job.

Cancel “foreign billions” all you want, that doesn’t create workers.

I work 40+ hours weekly, have done it since I was 16, there is pride in work, it’s good for the country, the economy, and our human worth.

lots of folks in this forum have thrown in the towel, next time you see a help wanted sign and you have an option, look in the mirror, if you’re not putting in 40+ hours a week, f* off
Name em..TIA
Sneakers, Vrai….you working 40+ hours Grumpy? If so, the American economy thanks you

Funny stuff...Sneakers is retired (and you probably know that)..Vrai probably averages 50 hrs a week yearly...Me? 50+ weekly since this effing Covid came about. I get that you seem to think everyone else had it easy except for you..I had years working 2 or 3 jobs..its life, grow up and get used to it.

I’m sick and tired of the endless complaining here, I mention Vrai because she put in a post that she quit working at Publix. That’s useful and hardwork, I get the allure of quitting. I’m not sure what the 50+ hours you’re taking about referees to.

This country needs hard labor: builders, machinists, welders, real retail. We have more than enough service sector: project managers, risk auditors, Java programmers.

look, most of you folks will be long dead and gone by the time the Chinese take us over, but I’m not going down without a fight. Living off your assets and stopping work before 72 is immoral in this day and age, it’s excess. Your ancestors would would be appalled, think of what they endured, you have no idea the fat bed you lie on.

the bill is coming due, are you paying it? ….But who really cares, right?

I’m paying it, I’m working until I give out.

And if anyone reading this wonders where the ‘age 72’ figure is coming from, it’s the most recent adjustment to the Required Minimum Distribution Age.

It’s the actual retirement age set by congress and keeps creeping up, if they had any backbone those losers would increase Social Security to 72, but they know the non working would never give them a vote.

Just gotta make one last point about all this handwringing about “no one wanting to work”

since 2020 we lost nearly 750k people to COVID, 100k to opioid deaths, and we have 1mil fewer immigrants over the last several years due to much tighter restrictions on coming to the US. This has lead to population growth being the lowest in 80 years for 2020.

do you folks know anyone that can’t get a job? The ones out collecting social security for old age or disability aren’t ever going to work again, unless we start cutting those benefits. All the extra unemployment benefits disappeared months ago, meanwhile Amazon has hired over a million people with a starting wage of $20 and benefits! Get used to cruddy jobs not being filled, if you wouldn’t take it why do you think someone else will?

The only way those jobs get filled is if we open up the boarders, and we all know that ain’t happening.

unless we start cutting those benefits.Benefits?? Are you referring to the money the government took out of every single check we slaved for, our nest egg should we become in need of "OUR OWN MONEY".

You taking about taxes?

federal, state, payroll, you want them all back?

oh, you thought you were “paying into” something, hah!

it’s a tax, when Bama cut it in 2010 it was called a tax cut, you’re not “paying into” chit

:lmao:

That was a side hustle, you dolt.

I haven't had a full day off work in almost 26 years. 40 hours a week? :killingme

The problem with you progs is that you spew nonsense and have no idea what you're talking about.

This is bait, I’m acknowledging it

In 26 years you’ve never had a day off? What constitutes a day, being on here? Checking email? Working 8 hours at a cash register? All the same?

That is worth highlighting because I'm not convinced that the progs ever look at their pay stubs. SS and Med are funds we have been paying into our whole working lives. Not a very well thought out plan, but we'll note that it was a Democrat's idea so what do you expect. I'd love to have every penny of that money back and forget getting SS when I'm of age. I can invest it WAY better than the government and get a much better return, even at this late date.

That is a HUGE Assumption and a load of Bull Shite

this was the same story during the Obama years .... people dropping form the rolls because they could not find work and the UE ran out

72 huh? Thought it would be higher what with all the inflation, aka reckless expansion of the money supply. I'm guessing that you do not see the theft of purchasing power debasing the dollar further necessitating the forced continuation of people having to work just to survive seeing as their wages never ever keeps up with inflation and always lags far behind. Unlike in the past, when we had a sound monetary system where a dollar saved, was still worth, and had the same purchasing power 50 years later allowing responsible people that saved, to live their remaining days in relative financial security.

I’m curious, what is your investment approach?

you said in multiple threads that you despise “big tech”, you even went on an aggressive attack against apple when they announced they were going to start scanning iCloud uploads for child porn.

if you’re in index funds you’re fully aware over 20% of the S&P is the big five of Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft.

you only investing in, I don’t know what jibs with your stance, help me understand, you run a chick-fil-a?
