    That's all true. But it doesn't mean the high-end labor market is coming back anytime soon. If at all.

    Does that mean we should pay these guys 80% of their highwater mark, into perpetuity, because we can't expect them to trade down, and actually work for a living?

    That's life. We all have to work. God knows, I've worked a few embarrassing jobs.

    The labor market has to readjust to new economies.

    I do support unemployment over bailouts, tho.

    25K per person, per year. Then let the whole system implode.

    That way, 1/3rd of the Country doesn't starve.

  4. Just give them a land grant. One per family. Give them seeds and teach them how to farm. They'll never starve.

    my question still remains. I know it's tough out there to find work for a lot of people. I know first-hand But why is the government paying all these people to do nothing? It's going to take some creativity, but it does seem feasible that we create jobs and actually get some shit done, rather than handing out money for nothing... over and over. One way or another that has to end

    That's been my direction, lately. Of course, erecting shelter, electricity, water, access to medical, schools, etc factors in. Americans will be much better off if they've got some land, with animals & crops, imo.

  8. Ivan, we've reached the point in time where the masses aren't smart enough, let alone motivated, to read the seed packet's instructions.
    Not blaming public education, rather, their parents.
