I would like to see a (honest) poll of this site how many are collecting while they "figure out how to trade" for a living. I think it would be enlightening.

no it wouldn't. the number would be small. the number would be even smaller if it was the class of unemployed people making a living as traders.
how many teachers and other civil servants who have plenty of time on their hands are traders?
who cares?

That's my point bro, went over your head.

learn to write clearly. I should have let it go over my head by ignoring your post.

another extension perhaps, just till things get better?

Hopefully, that was facetious.

Maybe you haven't figured it out yet, but this is a structural change in employment/unemployment that will be with us for more than "just a little while longer or just till things get better".

The unemployed have been "too comfortable for too long".
1. Round up and deport ALL illegal aliens (Do we really want to support "looking the other way" when it comes to violating Federal law about illegal immigration just so the Democraps can curry the Latino vote?)

+1 ...... Would create (hundereds of thousands? millions?) of jobs overnight.

You have made your point. No need to beat a dead horse.

2. STOP extended UE benefits

3. Many of the "comfortably unemployed" would seek work if there were no "comfortable UE benefit extensions" coming.

Add to that forced revaluation of the Yuan. Hit their imports with 30% tariff right now and watch mfg start coming back. Free trade is an illusion.

Besides Scat, even in Denver there is little motivation to do anything about illegals, esp with Hick winning. Every guy doing roofing last summer in my neighborhood was Hispanic, spoke no English, and half of them blared Ranchero music. I can make an educated guess they are illegal.
