If they do not extend this fiasco, the jobless % will drop below 7% because they will be dropped from the unemployed stats.. They are over 1 year without work, thus not counted.. Wonderful how this works, Obummer wins either way, right?
No, they’re referring to the newly unemployed.
“Then they should start their own business instead of working for others. Take the cases of John D. Rockefeller, John Astor, Andrew Carnegie and many others. They started with absolutely nothing and created wealth on their own. Inspiring is the case of Harlan Sanders who started what we now know as KFC while in his 50s in Corbin, KY. Those with drive and ambition need not work for others but will take the initiative to create a product or service that the market wants.”
You aren’t from around here are you?
Just TRY and start a business in the U.S. these days. Back when the folks you use as examples built their business the Government had virtually NO regulations for them to worry about.
Today if you want to start a business the Government will block EVERY effort you make. EVERY step you take will be blocked - some agency or bureaucrat somewhere will block and stop you at every turn, usually after taking a bunch of money from you before you have earned a penny.
Then add in the State of NY which is run by the NY City communists and it is impossible without a HUGE start up fund because you will be taxed and fee’d to death before your business takes in a red cent.
Want to know how to make a small fortune by starting a business in today’s America? Easy, first you start with a large fortune...
I am speaking from experience here.
” Even if it means starting off doing cold calls in a boiler room”
There is NO honor in that. NONE.
