Why work when you can make as much on welfare and smoke pot...l
Not dumping on the average American but I am in a position to know something about who is available for entry level jobs in industry. I had to close a plant in Edison NJ because we couldn’t fill 8 jobs. Couldn’t get candidates to pass drug tests. Closing a plant now in Newark for the same reason. Our work force is recent immigrants from Haiti, Jamaica, India. Local Blacks can’t qualify or don’t want to work shift work. Elk Grove DHS audit of workers when we bought the place made us drop 38 Hispanics. Replacements? “What was your felony conviction for?’ typical question of available replacement workers.
Troubled cities are not typical of average Americans, but if you hire there this is the problem and it plays definitely into the statistics of work force participatiom.
In other words you were to incompetent to raise the starting salary to get the type of employee you need. ITS CALLED SUPPLY AND DEMAND!
You "Captains of industry" want to set wages like communists.. Really pathetic.
PAY MORE!
“Explain for the audience the exact steps to achieve this “hammock” status without working? LOL!”.
This is how:
In my daughter’s case she got herself designated as disabled due to “chronic fatigue syndrome”, She gets social security, welfare, EBT, medical. $880 per month and a nice apartment from HUD for $110/month. Has an Obama phone too. Gets $500 credit cards solicitations all the time and runs up bills that never get paid. That’s how. That with a college degree too. I figure to earn these benefits she would have to earn $45-50,000 a year.
I rationalize her getting this as it offsets me paying full social security into the system at 78.
So she lives on $770.00 per month? That is not much of a living.
“You “Captains of industry” want to set wages like communists.. Really pathetic.
PAY MORE!”
Now that is a very simplistic response, so here’s my answer. Our competition dictates what we captains of industry can pay. When we closed the two plants we moved the jobs to upstate Pa. and West Virginia. Pay is the same and we have had no problem getting qualified workers. Elk Grove will move to Mississippi and there we feel confident the same will happen. The drug issue is starting to spread though, so maybe not.
No it is not much of a life and it is troubling for her parents to watch. However she is content with it and we help her financially to the extent we can without intruding.
She unfortunately not an unusual case I find.
Oh really? When the cost of a material goes up do you set a price for that too? No. But I am glad you stayed in the USA and didn't off shore. So kudos for that.
How old is your sacker dead beat daughter? I am so enjoying this thread.
