I have had a job everyday of my life since I was in the 10th grade. Some were well paying. Some were not. Some were prestigious. Some not at all but deeply humbling. I ran the house for 3 years. I also professionally scrubbed $hitters for 4 years(..more recently that not!).
The whole unemployment thing is a crock!! If you need a job, get off your ass and go out and get one.
The previous generation destroyed the middle class economy of this country. Manufacturing jobs are not coming back. Accept it.
So guys who used to work in factories or as middle-management paper pushers should take any work that is offered to them. And that means “women’s work” and “immigrant work.”
In this weak job market, the fast food places near my house should be staffed with English-speaking American men in their forties. They’re not. They’re run entirely by immigrants and women.
Why are farmers having trouble getting their fruit picked?
My older brother, UCLA grad and former Executive Vice President of Blah blah blah, is still nursing his wounds from the dot com meltdown, all these years later.
He turned down a job at Costco because “they wanted me to start by rounding up carts in the parking lot. I just can’t.”
He just won’t. And no woman in her right mind would or should date him in his current mindset.
If you’re out of work and worried about society “looking down on you,” go apply for that always-available job emptying bedpans in a nursing home — you’ll be respected a lot more than you would be for channel surfing.
Gee - it all seems to mirror what the Bible indicates: men are supposed to work to make a living for the homestead and women are supposed to work at keeping the homestead and kids healthy. Both are work and both are well-defined roles that kept society moving anf healthy. The liberal revolution and hunger for ever increasing funds made it so the average household needed an extra earner in order to maintain the standard of living. This society has an ever increasing number of “men” who live off the labors of “women” and it is an unnatural state that has resulted in a degraded immoral/amoral society with its “values” all topsy-turvy.
Yes, I feel sorry for the unemployed men who in addition to losing their jobs suffer insults from friends, wives leaving them, etc., but we don’t want to glorify them either or we’ll have even more of them. Remember many years ago when we were asked, “why does our society look down on unwed mothers so much?” Pretty soon we were glorifying them. How’d that turn out for society?
Exactly. Perfect analogy.
Unfortunately I fear that if things don't turn around our culture may devolve into something like what they have in Britain where "going on the dole" is considered no big thing.
Unemployed men:
This should help, if you do it. Reject the concept of self-esteem. Don’t let anyone else to get you down. Many people are addicted to trying to weld a man’s hook to the bottom—especially those wishing that they were men.
There’s nothing wrong with you. Don’t even think about that. There is only what you do from this moment on. Love from anyone else is not a need. Love is a verb.
Do consider what’s ahead. There will be a bond collapse, interest rate hikes and an enormous wave of layoffs for those not already laid off. Much of the proud, government-supported middle class is going to be unemployed and/or have pay cuts (”haircuts” following the haircuts against bond investors).
Toughen up now, and just do whatever you can. You’ll be ahead of those currently ridiculing you.
Always learn to be more frugal and get more healthy. As soon as you can, become more independent (self-sufficient) each month. Learn to produce something useful as a hobby for now. Nearly all who have larger incomes depend on big government for those incomes. When you’re on your feet, continue to starve the B. It doesn’t deserve more revenues from you.
>>>>>All the bums I see in my city are either black or white. Never hispanics or asians.>>>>>>
Being useless in a kind of sin in most Asian cultures so they are fond to be employed and make money at all cost.
As for Hispanics they have a big families. If one has home and a meal he/she has to share it with relatives.
because they can’t get jobs,.....So? MAKE one.
like what they have in Britain where “going on the dole” is considered no big thing. .....I had ayoung lady with kids trying to rent my inherited house. When I asked “where do you get your money for the rent? She told me “I’m on the First Of The Month Plan” WTF?
“Occupy” didn’t really become a fad for Asians and Hispanics, just liberal White kids.
No doubt! If you don’t work, Asian country, people step over you as you lie in the street. No workee, no eatee, sorry Charlie. India, same way.
