  1. There's no life in working a job that is 72 hours a week with 8 unpaid vacation days a year. That's why I left!

  2. This is largely the same reason I left the trucking industry. I worked as a day-cab hauler for Anheuser Busch/Werner Enterprises. When I started, they gave me 13 unpaid days per year. While I had a 6 day shift per week. In January of 2020, they required that I sign some paperwork, claiming I acknowledge only 5 days off per year unpaid and 3 sick days. I immediately began making plans to leave the company and checked out in June 2020 right in the middle of the pandemic. Not to mention that nobody in the industry was paying a (raise) that kept up with inflation. 0.9% per year against 2.1% inflation. Can't imagine how people feel now with 7-8% inflation (at least according to CPI data). It feels considerably worse..

  3. It boggles my mind that most Americans are not following the numbers. This economy is balancing on fairy dust. All the risk is being held on the US Dollar; there's nowhere else for the liabilities to go. They can kick the debt ceiling can all they want, but if the US loses reserve currency status. This country will face a mega-depression, more than likely followed by war.

  4. Yeah, I'm also starting to think it will be the LAST administration. Whatever the result of 2024 will be; they'll be contested with blood.

  6. A significant amount of these children come from single parent households and have behavioral problems. On top of that, we have a growing number of kids that are growing up in two parent households where the parents are completely detached and do nothing with their children. Add that to school curriculums that are being dumbed down to accommodate failing students and you get the current situation.

  7. People need to stop blaming Biden, despite the dementia and take a look at the world around them. The culture is absolutely going to hell and I'm not talking about wokism. Companies only care about optics and workers only care about putting in the least effort. People are not stupid, they vote for their best interest. Why would you blame someone for voting in a politician that will increase their unemployment benefits? We have record lows of law and regulation enforcement, plus record highs for fraud and felony crimes. People have become complacent, greedy, and envious of people they don't even know on social media. Don't think those behaviors don't manifest themselves outside the internet, because they do. We have nobody to blame but ourselves.

  8.  @davidb9323  The wife and I are talking about the same regarding hens. The biggest concern with precious metals is the premium fees when you exchange them for cash. Which is why Dave doesn't recommend them. Though at the same time, most precious metals are sold via 'paper assets'. Which allows the market for those metals to be exchanged in quantities that don't exist. Kind of like 2008 housing swaps lol. So many people hold on to them because they think the real price will come forth at some point.

  11. The last two years have absolutely convinced me that 90% of the population doesn't have two brain cells to rub together. Americans are tearing their own country apart PIECE by PIECE. If someone isn't convicted; the system is fraudulent. If someone isn't elected; the system is fraudulent. If someone isn't impeached; the system is fraudulent. But apparently, if the system serves a former President a warrant; the system is doing just FINE! Hypocrites and narcissists, the lot of you. I truly hope Americans get everything they deserve when everything falls into chaos and genocide. You reap what you sow; Americans continue to reap after sowing NOTHING.

  12. Cathie Woods has GOT to be one of most incompetent investors I've ever heard of. This woman has been wrong, wrong, wrong on every single purchase and prophecy she has made for the last several years. If Cathie Woods tells you to do something; do the opposite and you'll make bank.

  13. Sean, this has nothing to do with constitutional rights; I wish people would do more research. This has everything to do with whether these platforms classify as forums or publishers. Under the law they typically get classified as forums, which aren't allowed to persecute people based on speech alone. They like to play both sides of the law though; Federal law prohibits thee companies from being sued for abuses though.

  14. I've tried to warn people for years. Crypto is a really cute idea, but a whopping majority of it is (inflationary, unregulated, fraudulent, and above all else unaccountable) to investors. Coinbase freezing LUNA assets and never giving money back to investors should have sealed the fate for all cryptos. Any crypto that ISN'T proof of work AND max supplied on currency is going to get sued into oblivion. Plus, people need to consider the energy markets when it comes to crypto in general. BTC itself uses up 1500 Khw on average to perform a transaction for 1 coin. Maintaining a mining operation and exchange has become unprofitable and the clock is ticking before these companies will have to cut multiple cryptos including Bitcoin itself. Check out how many blockchain bankruptcies are being filed each week for the last 18 months. It is completely unsustainable!

  15. 10 Million people permanently left the workforce in Spring of 2020. 30 Millions since then have voluntarily quit their jobs and retired, become a stay at home parent, or chosen another job field. A very large number of those people were Gen X and Baby Boomers that were the best at what they did. You need to remember something very important: Price's Law... The square root of the number of people in ANY domain do half the work. The scary part is the mathematics check out no matter where you apply them. If you have 100 package handlers, 10 of them are loading half of all the merchandise into the vans. Those are your most competent people in any job field; they're also the ones that have largely checked out of the work-force. I'm one of them; I used to work for FedEx, then Werner. I drove a semi hauling for Anheuser Busch pulling about $70,000 a year driving a day-cab. One of the top earners and hours put into the job. They took my 13 days of unpaid vacation away in 2020 and gave me 8. After that, I checked out and have been doing alternative work ever since. Covid taught many people that the W-2 system was completely outdated. Why should I bust my balls working a job getting paid an hourly wage, while my co-worker can do half of the work I'm doing and still receive the same pay incentive?

  17.  @crand20033  Having low unemployment has nothing to do with recession metrics David. If you want to patronize people with your age and experience, then at least have the articulation to back it up please. July 26th marks GDP Q2 release; it will be negative (more than likely) as is forecasted. That means we are about the enter a recession on paper. The economy on the other hand has already entered one, as far as the market is concerned. Surpluses of unfilled jobs are a hallmark of a pre-recession.

  20. Why should I work for a company that will offer me a 2% raise, while we have 5% inflation? Not to mention that next year, they will hire somebody new and pay them 3-4% MORE than I was offered when I signed on.

  21. Oh believe me; the gym membership, HULU, and Netflix are already cancelled. There's probably several million Americans that have done the same.

  22. 261,000 Jobs Added! The didn't tell you how many we lost! And they surely didn't tell you if any of the reported jobs were filled or not.

  23. I was ranting about this exact subject 10 years ago to my parents at the age of 18. They so desperately wanted me to go to college; got accepted to OSU and Kent just to humor them. Then I discovered that the burden of debt was in the $80k to $90k range. I told them I wouldn't do it and would rather seek out Community if I was inclined. Ended up going to Community College for several years and got an Associate Degree (which I don't use). BUT, I ended up getting FedEx to reimburse all $10,000 of my college tuition. Now, as an married man with a home; it boggles my mind to see the tuition/college crisis play out further (just as I had predicted). Yet my parents still pushed my little sister to get into college. She's now stuck in a 6 year bachelor's degree (due to program curriculum) and will be paying some $130,000 for her degree. It got to the point that both my parents and sister stopped talking about it and I stopped caring. You can only help people so much that are on a collision course with their own arrogance. Her degree is in Interior Design smh... I sifted through the job listings back in 2021 and found that for any Interior Designer position (most of which are located in Floria, NY, California etc) had an applicant list of 200-3000 people.

  24. The workforce retired, plain and simple. Social Security beneficiaries haven't changed, meaning it wasn't older people that retired, but younger. We had tens of millions of people in their 50s and early 60s prematurely exit the workforce with their 401k and pensions. Those people then sold and bought new homes elsewhere and began working part time gigs like Uber or DoorDash. The displacement from this has left the economy is shambles. Inflation from 2020/2021 is just the icing on the cake for a catastrophe.

  26. Just another cascade of the increasing labor shortage in this country. More power to the people quitting and skipping out on work. It's about time we bring this freak-show to a halt. They are CLAIMING that it has nothing to do with staffing to save face; nothing more. They had a massive demand for flights and staffing couldn't meet demands in a surge. Perhaps something good will come of all this. Maybe a return to community based living and not constantly running in a rat-race.

  27. Bringing people together? More like "coding our algorithms to radicalize and drive as much division as possible". Tech algorithms and anti-trust are the biggest issues facing this country and people are blind to it!

  28. They broke NOTHING, this was NATO's plan all along; the Obama Administration set this entire situation up. Oh, how short the memories of Americans are. Do people so easily forget that the Obama Administration helped orchestrate the revolution that overthrew the Ukrainian Government in 2014 and replaced it with a puppet regime under Zelenskiy? Then we sold them weapons to fight a border war against Russia in the east. Russia had enough and sought out to silence a noisy and corrupt neighbor. This is the wet dream that NATO and the US have wanted for years...

  29. Bad idea, people are pathetically stupid. That's why we have a Republic and not a Democracy. You forget Trump had below a 50% rating in the early stages of his Administration.

  30. Go woke; go broke! For any that have been watching, a great deal of the tech sector (specifically) have lost a great deal of their net worth in the last year alone. Regardless of Covid, companies like Netflix, Disney, Facebook etc have been falling like rocks in the market in recent history. There is always a price to pay for giving the middle finger to your biggest customers and virtue signaling to an angry mob; they are reaping what they sowed.

  31. I think conservatives will be surprised with the mid-term outcomes. Loan forgiveness, mass illegal immigration, ballot adjudication? They're setting all of this up to ensure they win every election until the fall.

  36. lol you people make me laugh to be honest As much as I agree with your sentiment, most Americans have decided to forget about election interference. Sure it depends on the state, but even in my home-state of Ohio; judge after judge and legislator after legislator are being de-seated by (no-name) Democrats with 0 experience in law or policy. Mid-terms are only going to produce blood-shed. Americans should be very weary of what is to come. Whatever the result, there will be unrest.

  37.  @johnnyhotrod18  No, it's people in general I'm afraid. Republicans love to blame Democrats and vice versa, but the culture has been going south for years. Companies only care about optics and the average worker only cares about getting away with the least amount of effort. Go figure that the only virtues of a collapsing society are "virtue signals" 🤣

  39. Well, I mean 'we DO have a President'. Just because there's a stalk of 'broccoli' in my fridge, doesn't mean it's not food. It's just sucky food...

  40. That's been disproven time and time again Steve; the metrics can prove it. You may have had a point during 2021, but the unemployment insurance has been exhausted and returned to PRE-Covid lows. What you are witnessing is record number of Americans retiring early and a record number of Generation Z refuse to work while they live at home or on student loans. Welfare is not the problem; the problem was that our economy was mostly relying on an aging workforce of professionals. Now they are almost gone... This will continue to worsen as the retirement crisis continues.

  45. I don't say this with malice, but Republicans are quite literally walking into a trap. Between now and February, the Feds are expected to raise rates at least three more times. Plus, restart student loan payments during January. Democrats are going to allow the GOP to take full control of a crisis that will inevitably crash. Who do you think most people will blame when it does?

  46. Can we stop pretending that this President or most of Congress have any interest in the American people, let alone an interest in the land that is the United States? These people are traitors to the highest degree; every action they have taken these past 18 months has been to the detriment of the American people. They caused the fuel prices with sanctions, they caused the war in Ukraine with our foreign policy, and they caused the early stages of hyper-inflation that we are seeing.

  49. If anyone cares to know; this is primarily why fraud (both cyber and in person) have been absolutely rampant in the last several years. It's gotten really bad though in the last two months though. And not just in upstate NY or Cali. People know they can get away with petty crimes without any repercussions. Law enforcement and judges just don't have the teeth they used to. I live in Ohio outside Columbus limits and every restaurant has been putting up signs apologizing to customers for delays due to "labor shortages and carryout fraud" I kid you not.
