It’s a psych job that’s all. It is meant to embarrass you in public. They have to be smarter than them. Meet them at the border somewhere have a bag in your hand and set the bag over the border then pick it up with a smile. Walk around then roll out.
The Department of Labor shows, 125 million private sector jobs, 10 million self-employed and 25 million government jobs. Take away those under the age of 18 and over 67 and that leaves you with about 100 million non-working adults. How are they surviving? Could they work? Would employers want them? We've hired 65 yr old people to work the preload and local sort because they are the only ones to apply. Department of Labor says there's about 5.8 million unemployed but only 1.3 million applying for unemployment. Could the rest be on government assistance?
Some working on a cash only basis? I pay my landscaper in cash only.
The gig economy is one of the few bright spots.
How about those who want to work but would actually lose money after having to buy gas and pay for daycare?
Nothing.
That’s helpful to the economy
I saw something this morning that stated the biggest concern for families right now is child care.
Yes and no. While the one and one interaction is priceless, there is something to be said for the socialization and structured environment of a certified daycare, especially if your kid(s) spends the bulk of their day in front of the TV.
My son and DIL pay $300/week for my grandson to go to FT daycare. $15,600/year (+/-) is a chunk of change.
Daycare is out of this world
Cheap….
Still want to pay everyone a "living wage"?
Institutionalization of children has contributed to the dissolution of the family unit.
I take it you don't have kids.
Just “enough to live wage”?
As has the indoctrination of children into religion. Why not let them grow up and make up their own minds what to believe?
We gave our kids that choice when they turned 16. One remained faithful while the other did not.
