Job Fight: Immigrants vs. Locals

Quote from Mom0/pH0x:

HAHAHAH! you are joking right?? exactly what "freebies" would those be?? the prisons and jails that house over 1% of the nations residents(highest # and % in the WORLD) or absurd inflation and cost of living with scarce employment??? yay for "freebies" LOL

Still beats Mexican freebies (or they wouldn't be crossing the border).

Quote from QQQBALL: My "theory's"? Live below your means, whatever they are. Dude, my Mom raised 2 kids with no welfare or child support from my Dad & she started from scratch when my dad beat her, flipped the TV over & walked out the door forever. Her Scottish accent was so heavy, none of my friends could understand her & she got a job & managed to survive. She did it, others can too! I still live below my means, & when my income declines I cutback, even though I'm basicalkly financially independent. Think of the hardships pf the Western pioneers and compare that to the challenges of today. Can't afford to support yourself? Then don't have children. Can't afford a car, then ride the bus. Can't afford the rent, double-upQ Can't afford a big house, then buy a small one like the 800 SF 2Br/1Bth with 1-car garage that I grew-up in... There are 2 keys: 1) Live below you means 2) And stop fucking whining. BTW, its not my job to answer your inane questions, but seriously, most people are f-ed because of CHOICES they have made. The sick, lame & crazy get a pass. I was commenting on your age as I think there was something regarding driving.... I had been driving for like a decade & a half before you were even born... At 24 yo, most people don't even know what they don't know.

You forgot a couple. Can’t afford rent – live on the street. Can’t afford health insurance - don’t get medical care. Can’t afford education – don’t go to school. Can’t afford food – don’t eat.

Quote from QQQBALL: Wow, when the labor supply exceeds demand then that's unemployment. No shit?

I said that in response to someone else telling me to work 60 hours a week if I had to. Gee I’d love to do that, but your obviously forgetting the other side of the story. Someone else has to pay me to do that. When they aren’t willing to, I don’t get paid. OOOOHHH!!! How is hard work going to fix that? I’m a caddy at a golf course. Today I drove 75 minutes round trip, waited 3 hours for a round, and then got sent home because nobody was taking caddy’ s today. This routinely happens. So my income today was $0. My work related expenses was at least $10, and I wasted 5 hours that I could have been doing something else. So using your “live below your means” logic, how am I supposed to live below $0?

yes, few of us who are smart AND young are simply leaving, you should consider it sandy..

A Growing Trend of Leaving America
By some estimates 3 million citizens become expatriates a year, but most not for political reasons

I think this is worth considering.

Why spend your life in a system that is becoming more and more corrupt.......when there are places for one third the cost, on a beach, with no Nancy Pelosi?

I was thinking you would tell us you walked up hill in the snow both ways.

IF you have time to whine on the internut, you have time to work or educate yourself. Too bad no one wanted caddy's.

I served in the military right at the end of Vietnam & went to school aided by the G.I. Bill. I worked my way through school; first at a JC and then Cal State system with a year in Japan. Lived on my own & paid my own tuition, insurance, etc. You can do it too.
