you are right I’ve been on ssdi and it is VERY had to get rolling again.
Even after a career!!
imagine if you NEVER worked. The fear and comfort of being home and never needing to be anywhere. no discipline to build on.

Even worse, what could they offer an employer? No basic English or math skills...that is why Hispanics take their jobs so easily. I don’t have the hardest job in the world, but it won’t be a Mexican taking it - it will be one of the millions of Asians we’re importing to replace our white-collar workforce.

Nobody can make the case that the Indian tech coolies are necessary (though I know some try). Years down the road they will be necessary because young Americans are too smart to go into the tech field just to be laid off for an Indian (living in the US); we are still some time away from that point.

BTW, Asians are replacing Americans in the financial sector as well; a lot of middle-aged American guys I worked with at banks and investment managers for years have been replaced with younger, cheaper Asians. The blatant age discrimination is even worse than the assault on American workers.

I think it is a temporary measure to eliminate higher salaries as our standard of living falls; younger Americans will rarely get well-paying jobs that require replacement by foreigners (BTW, I think this is what is driving a lot of the push to increase minimum wages - a lot of Americans will be working those jobs their whole lives). I’ve stated on other forums that as soon as Americans are earning about $40-50K, forces are scrambling behind the scenes to either send the work elsewhere or bring foreigners here to do it.

Younger Americans, without families, houses, or cars, will simply adjust to $9/hour jobs for the long term - and they will be the last generation of Americans.

I know a few. Thank goodness a lot of my friend’s kid are electricians, plumbers, cops, firemen, and a few in college, the only thing is we are paying for most of these jobs and what would electrician be making if not for unions

The trades are definitely hurting, and those unions jobs are getting scarce. Government employment is risky because many areas like NJ simply don’t have the money to hire anyone. A friend who went to college to be a teacher ended up going to nursing school because he couldn’t get a job teaching; he has been working for years now as a nurse.
