It’s one of the few honest ones where you don’t buy leads or pay ‘expenses’ per month or do a ‘project 100’ where you are supposed to hand over names/numbers/addresses for the place to have for free. And a lot of people were just sacked from there for not working at all - nice opportunity for someone with a work ethic.
I have tried min-wage job applications, believe me. Dozens of them. I have recieved no response partially because applicants are hitting the mid-high HUNDREDS for each position. You’re literally down to cheap lottery ticket chances of even an interview let alone an offer.
The hardest part is my parents and relatives keep refusing my offer to come sort through momentos and possessions for anything that has happy memories or could be useful, insisting things will someday, somehow be better and they JUST saw a “now hiring” (which should have the w replaced with a t) at XYZ business. Guess they’ll have to sort through the pile at the curb...
Until you die from heroin, which then makes you a victim. And is happening more frequently.
How ironic. We just lost a “destination” restaurant because they couldn’t find workers.
In what city? (I’m in omaha, NE) Family run or chain? If they have an HR department their trouble may have been there...american HR departments somehow can’t find anyone to hire in the worst economy since the 1930s.
Where are you located? I’m in North Carolina, and not in an area that has recovered to some extent like Raleigh or Charlotte. I’m near Greensboro. But, even here, there are jobs. The manager of the local Pizza Hut, storefront takeout and delivery only, no dining room, told me he had a number of jobs that he hasn’t been able to fill, including assistant night manager. Said all positions were eligible for pretty decent healthcare insurance. What applicants he got failed the drug screening.
Omaha, Nebraska. On the fringes of the Papillion/Omaha area.
I inherited the house from my parents. Part of the deal I made with them in the mid-90s was I would take care of them until their deaths. They would assure that I would not have to work after they were gone. In the end, they were not truthful.
Because I would be the heir, they did nothing to correct the problems requiring extensive building repairs. The house’s electrical system needs to be replaced due to age; there have been two fires due to shorts in wiring insulation and the home insurance was cancelled. Basement repairs to stop water leakage during winter were never done, so now there is a massive toxic black mold problem. Real estate agents will not talk to me.
I could probably sell but only if the buyer promised to tear down the structure and rebuild. The land, or parcel, along with improvements, is worth a great deal. I am considering marketing the property as a ‘tear down’.
I can’t be much help with Nebraska, I’m sorry you’re in this circumstance. Have you applied for assistance of any kind? Don’t be shy, you’ve paid through the nose for it all these years.
It was a single owner deal. But they were famous in the local college community. It was always crowded.
The guy just shut it down one day saying he couldn’t get workers.
I’m in SW Virginia.
Vey sorry to hear it SatinDoll.
Are not The Vast Majority of the Economic Problems that cause this a direct Result of Government Meddling??
Don’t we pay our Public Employees and Public Servants large Salaries and Benefits Package far in excess of the Median Salary??
Now Since They make A lot of what I call Undeserved Money to SCREW THINGS UP for the masses while making sweetheart deals for their friends, maybe we need a LAW, Mandating that ALL PUBLIC EMPLOYEES Sponsor at least Homeless Person or Family ANNUALLY, By Bringing them in to their homes to LIVE FOR FREE and helping them get on their feet.
Maybe the Public Masters will do things different if they have to suffer the consequences personally.
Talk to a lawyer. In many cases you can keep your home if you file for bankruptcy. Start here:

In Chapter 13 your back property taxes would be repaid like your other debt obligations over the course of your mandated repayment program.
Oh Lordy!
I keep hearing commercials on the radio for “Tax Defenders”. Can they help?

I have no debts. All I have is the house, my Jeep, and my monthly social security.
people are killed in these camps, women raped, and a guy just this morning was mowed down and killed by a driver and this happened right off I-90..
Seattle has its "jungle"....
but none of this will be brought up until Trump is prez, and then we'll have night after night of crisis building reporting...
just like there is no hunger, no disease right now...
are there any fires in your area?....
In planting some rhododendrons I came across evidence that there was a burn on the housing site, but that would have been long ago when the property was a farm. Today it is part of a home owners association. The house across the street is worth about $750,000.
It is located in Longview, Washington. Democrats control the city and county governments.
