Where are the jobs Americans can work at? Don’t see 30 to
40 million job openings.

The jobs are at the small businesses like the barber shops and hair dressers and gyms and bars and restaurants, who's owners are being arrested and fined huge amounts just this week, for daring to open up again, contrary to diktats issued by far left Dem governors.
Most jobs in America have always been provided by small businesses.
Your Dem mayors and governors are deliberately putting people out of work. Let them face the consequences.
They can always let people go back to work of course.

Right at this moment I’m not confident that they will go first. It’s heartbreaking to watch a land with so much potential literally destroy itself.

It's probably what some Roman Senators thought when they saw the self destruction of the Roman empire.

For almost 250 years we have managed to cobble together enough people that "believed in God" to put their self interests behind the best interests of the Country.

When the essential belief in God is not present in enough of the population, our Constitution is just meaningless words on paper.

Heart breaking doesn't even get close to my feelings.

SAD.

Just watched a Hedy Lamarr movie from 1947 (Dishonored Lady) last night.

TCM was my favorite, also, until Comcast said we had to subscribe to it to view the movies. No way...

TCM is great; and also I’ve been enjoying the DIY channel. Last night’s good story: two brothers bought a tiny fishing shack on a large piece of wooded waterfront land—cheap!—and enlarged it to a two-story, two-bedroom family getaway place. Amazing to see the stages of work on the house.

“Best Years of Our Lives” is from the same era.

Some Universities have off campus housing with dry cleaning, coffee shops, dog parks, hiking trails,happy hours, private transportation, gyms, fire pits, many swimming pools,even car wash stations. These aren’t students, most can’t even buy a stamp or address an envelope. college is post high school day care.

“TCM is my go to on tv.”

Me too....but I wish they would do away with the long introductions by some of the woke/PC hosts and guests.
These days they even go out of their way to air movies with a “message”.

Their definition of “Classic Movies” has me shaking my head, at times.

Major Universities have become nothing but indoctrination facilities......and I believe the people are awakening to this fact....I pray the pendulum will swing in the not so distant future!!!

It’s not magical thinking.

Their business models cannot survive without the people they’ve just turned off.

‘Leave Her To Heaven’ is an old favorite of mine.

1945, Gene Tierney. Gorgeous & deadly! (I like femme fatale stories.)

RE: Pro sports, colleges, and Hollywood are not going anywhere, their wokeness notwithstanding.

Does this mean you’re still going to patronize them despite their wokeness?

No, not me, I have never patronized these symbols of decadence. I am speaking of the masses.

Good advice. But somehow I think our screw-ed up, self-appointed elites will continue sending their kids to the Ivies and Stanford expecting to order fries from our kids.
