. Maybe you’re a project manager making $95,000 married to a marketing coordinator making $45,000. Y’all are a $140,000 household. You’re taking vacations. You can afford healthcare. You can afford housing. Your kids are wearing whatever name brand kids are wearing these days. You feel fairly secure, but not totally secure. And both of your jobs are done on a screen.

Here’s what you may not realize. You’re living the life that factory workers lived in the 1950s, ‘60s, and ‘70s. You’re living the life that auto workers in Detroit lived. That steel workers in Pittsburgh lived. That chemical workers across the Northeast and Appalachia lived. Back then a single income could buy a house, raise kids, take a vacation, and retire with a pension. A

Yes I agree. something has to be done to level the playing field @LotusBud

We have to help the younger generation find jobs OR build successful livelihoods through self-employment.

In reality, this is a return back to a time when people created their own jobs or employment.

ie - people used to be farmers or tradesmen before the factories came along and wiped out their jobs.

So now perhaps it's going in full reverse where people will have to create their own employment.

Senile @Joe and @LotusBud are not smart enough to think of real solutions that will work.
So what is YOUR Solution Lex @The Prowler ?

Or are you just gaslighting again like an overgrown teenage brat?

Solutions exist but our governments haven't bothered to come up with any.

And these corporations, especially Big Tech just wants to bring back medieval slavery to pad their profits. They clearly don't want any solutions or people to stand up for their rights & think for themselves.

Well do you have any Lex @The Prowler?

Of course I do.

But you are not bright enough to understand a good solution when you hear it.

I mean, look at the kind of stupid statements you make: "We have to help the younger generation find jobs"

Holy fuck. Are you braindead?

So what is it? just like anything you post you offer fuck all.

Oh and where are those photos of those 5 lbs of Gold you supposedly had? Guess that was a lie huh?

Well otherwise if the youth don't have jobs they start gravitating towards political extremism or violence. Thats a big reason Hitler rose to power in Germany. Iran is a recent example of what happens when restless youth feel they don't have a future and the governing party can't cope with the social unrest. Get riots. Another example are the recent demonstrations in the US. yes there are consequences for having scores of unemployed youth with nothing to do Lex @The Prowler

Yeah, Senile @Joe.

Help the younger generation find jobs.

Good plan.

So where do you think you will start?

Teaching them how to write a good resume?

Showing them how to start small businesses.

Since large companies seem to no longer want to hire a large workforce anymore, people will have to create their own employment.

But this isn't that different than the model which existed before the Industrial Revolution.

1 or 2 centuries ago, many people were self employed in one way or another.

They were shopkeepers, farmers, tradesmen.

Now, I don't suggest that this would solve the problem of unemployment or underemployment

Or replace a full time well paying job.

But it might make people/workers less reliant on governments, corporations and become more self-sufficient.

And when I see you lurking all the time on these forums, wasting your life/retirement pm, I don't want to be like you Lex @The Prowler.

You're one of the most useless tools I've ever encountered on these forums.

Christ, don't you have anything better to do than gaslight people all day long?

You've actually inspired me to start a side business.

Find something meaningful to do, so I don't become a useless old fart like yourself.

Yes, but the problem is, who will their customers be if no one is gainfully employed?

The vast majority of young people are not equipped to start their own business, Senile @Joe.

Your ideas are what I would expect from a teenager.

And stop trying to figure out my life.

I am off to referee a charity hockey game in a few minutes. If not for that, I would take the time to post a schedule of my next week so you could have a good cry.
 

Holy Holliday !

LotusTard copied a link and copied text from an article. That was her entire post.
So what? For that you went completely apeshit on a personal attach rather than commenting on the article and its content. Why, couldn't you find the Ministry of Truth's counter argument?
Dude you are perhaps the dumbest no-thinky low IQ idjit on the internets. Do not attempt to insult others - it only makes YOU look more foolish.

Why don't you go blow a few snot rockets? (Prowlers pet name for his boy friends' pee-pees) At least that will make you useful to someone.
