Small businesses, non-union workers and other taxpayers carry the burden of the out-sized pay and benefit packages of unproductive unionized public workers. If I had to do it over again, I might well choose teaching instead of software work. I would be retired on a nice pension now instead...

I can't seem to link to work on ET. It works find on Facebook and elsewhere, below is a cut & past: This toxic lake poisons Chinese farmers, their children and their land. It is what's left behind after making the magnets for Britain's latest wind turbines... and, as a special Live...

This "glorified day care" cost too much tax money!

http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/print/2011/06/the-failure-of-american-schools/8497/ In fact, notwithstanding union rhetoric that “tenure is merely due process,” firing a public-school teacher for non-performance is virtually impossible. In New York City, which has some 55,000 tenured...

Prop firms use to train their people, but most now become education scams charging many thousands for their so called training. some charge 10-12k, others 5k or so. The least expensive is I know of is WTS, which charges 1.5k if you get accepted. There may be some free ones for new graduates...

Good that you could talk to your teachers like that. Where did you go to school?

Many learn how to bullshit, to fool the customer and the public.

Malaysia is mentioned as an example near the end of this article. The author used the world Malaysian when it was the ethnic Malays he was referring to. Too many people don't realize that most Chinese & Indians in Malaysia are also Malaysians born in the country, many have ancestors been there...

Let's forget those who have 5 kids. How about a single adult trying to survive? It may be possible to make ends meet when one is in good health, but a few sick days and one becomes homeless. Perhaps MacDonald's need to copy Wal-Mart, teach its workers to sponge off taxpayers applying for...

For example? Asumming htat you are under 59.5

Obviously, they do not have a competent QA, or Customer Service department never forwarded your screenshots to the development folks. It seems they are more busy putting in new "enhancements" than fixing existing problems. I use them to trade options due to low commissions that allows me to...

What a joke! How about 10 million rich men retire from their jobs then 10 million unemployed men or women will get jobs/employment? Men or women, if you don't need a job, don't deprive another person of one! Nice idea. It may be better to have a 20-30 hour work-week so all can have a job if...

And who are creating those children living on welfare? It is men who walked away form the responsibilities of fatherhood that the state became responsible for the children. If men do not screw around so irrepressibly, there would be few welfare children and less child poverty.

Sure they deserve respect. But more importantly, they need a livelihood - if they are not teenagers living with mom and dad.

You are right. About 1 MILLION people are looked for a job at mcdonalds on that 1 day. If you are over 30 and w/o fast food experience, your chance of getting a job is not good. And even if you do get a job, it is not likely you can live on your own - except in your van or truck.

On April 19th, McDonald's launched its first-ever national hiring day, signing up 62,000 new workers at stores throughout the country. For some context, that's more jobs created by one company in a single day than the net job creation of the entire US economy in 2009. And if that boggles the...

Even if you can't vote, all you need is a baby to get all the benefits. Much better deal than a minimum wage job. If you don't have housing help from a partner or family, a minimum wage job leads to homelessness in parts of the country. These jobs provide no benefits, though you may be able...
