Job Fight: Immigrants vs. Locals

Discussion in 'Economics' started by ASusilovic, May 24, 2009.

  1. Seriously somebody needs to wake you up. We’re not in 1970 anymore. I pay $1228 a year for car insurance. That is an incredible deal for a 24 year old. I used to pay over $3000. Again I challenge you to find another 24 year old who pays less. Not some generic quote, a real person. I know Forextrades is about my age. I wonder what he pays. Oh and I have a perfect 3 year driving record.
    I have a Toyota. What’s this facsination with them. Like they’re some mystical wonder that never needs repairs. You think a Toyota doesn’t need tires or brakes? I had to get a water pump and timing belt a few months ago because it wouldn’t start. Then after it was done, they didn’t tell me that frequently the seals or something leak oil afterwards (this is a different mechanic now). So to avoid from leaking a gallon of oil a week, I got that fixed. Whole thing cost me more than $1200. This is just one thing that went wrong.
    Yea Yea Work harder. Work harder. All you people say the same thing. But you have never been able to solve a simple math problem that a 5 year old can. How are people supposed to stay ahead when they’re incomes are continuously dropping, and they’re cost of living keeps going up? Also, don’t you realize that to work 60 hours, somebody has to be willing to pay you for that. When there are more people willing to work than people willing to pay them, that’s called unemployment. All your hard work and attitude ain’t gonna fix that. Your theory’s seem to be big on logic and less so on practical application.

  2. Well the first flaw in your thinking is to group Republican and Libertarian together. But anyways how come when anyone talks about corporations outsourcing and insourcing cheap labor that hurt regular Americans, they are automatically labeled an Obama loving Socialist?
    The work harder argument isn’t working anymore, there are greater forces at work.

  3. And I thought the point was "Work smarter and/or more if necessary... take responsibility for your own future"... silly me.

  4. :D :D :D

    You will note that she lives at home, therefore the need to "support ' herself is really mute....the "rent" she pays is a nominal amount.

    She works a hostess and the bar of a weekend at a nice and very popular place...no names.

  5. Good insight, keep your head up partner, all of us in upcoming generations have to deal with these pass downs.

    Happens all the time to those that don't shop around. The health insurance I currently have was purchased from that exact website and I pay the stated premium that it shows. My uncle got insurance from the same website a little over 2 months ago and his premium is the same that is listed on the site. How about you inquire from that website for that same plan and report back what they tell you the premium is since I am so wrong. If you are paying $262 monthly on health insurance for a 24 year old male you are just foolish. Keep padding your agent's pockets.

    You must have some bad luck. What year and model toyota ? What engine and how many miles ? When I was poor I bought a Chilton book for whatever car I had and learned how to do the work myself. Brakes are easy to change if you have some basic handtools. I bought used tires for 10 to 15 a piece. A timing belt swap at a Toyota dealership here in Texas does not exceed $300. On most toyota's, the water pump has to come off to in order to access the belt so your mechanic got over you if he charged you labor to put the new pump on. What seals were leaking ? The timing cover gasket or front main or camshaft seal ?
