I get high and have a job. I'm lucky the industry i'm in is seriously in demand (we just got 2 contracts to produce adjuvants for covid-19 vaccines) but I understand many many people have not had the opportunities I have. Despite what you think, the vast majority of people want to work, it gives a sense of purpose and usefulness, but they also want to make a wage they can live on. I don't get why some people don't understand that.

Bullshit. There's tons of jobs hiring right now. People just don't want to work, think they're above the job or can't fucking pass a drug test.
I'm all over the state of Michigan every day, side to side and top to bottom. Northern Indiana and northwest Ohio. I haven't seen a job hiring for less than $14/hour to start + benefits

The government is telling people to stay home. The only reason people are still working is because society still needs things. If it weren't for those roles to fulfill then they would be at home too. I think at least that asking people to find new work right now is a little silly, given that is a personal risk and to others we may or may not encounter. It's not like these people at least are out of work. They are laid off by the government. If the gov tells you to go home and you don't resign and run to MacDonalds I won't blame you. Saying there is work doesn't mean it meets people's standards. In certain situations those shit jobs can be financially unviable based on their living expenses and lifestyle. You know.. travel time, hours, pay, benefits ect. Even if you say just work as part-time/a temp that can certainly make things even more difficult considering again expenses or people just not wanting to hire anything but someone who is going to stick around or with the right qualification/skillset. There's a lot of nuance imo. You could see a sign that says "Hiring all truckers" but do you really think that idiot who keeps backing his civic in to shit needs to be licensed for that sort of thing? nuance

Thank you for making this thread. I have a friend thats been on disability and REFUSES to get a job. He was in a fire 20 years ago and has burnt hands, but still claims disability that he cant work. He can answer phones, he can write tickets up, he can drive trucks, etc. Fuck man he can pick up golf balls for a paycheck. Yet hes bumming weed and gas money while the gov't continues to pay this fool. He is always blaming someone else for his problems and is mad at the world 24/7. He has been jobless for 7+ years and always saying "Im about to get this job, can I get that cigarette tho?". People like this is what drags us all down. I just dont get it..

Um. There's like 40 million less jobs now than there was in march. That's like a third of the available jobs.
And most places are at a hiring freeze.

I graduated from Purdue with a Magna Cum Laude degree in paralegal studies. I was only able to get legal secretary jobs for a long time. Finally I got to work for an attorney who sat on the nomenclature board of the Florida Bar Association as a paralegal. We got to rewrite the changes to the same sex marriage laws in Florida. After that job, I was unemployable because I was always overqualified for everything. I have an inbox folder that's got over 1,800 rejections, and that's just the ones that responded.
Had to deliver food for Uber Eats for a few months until I could get another job.
It's not always the super low skilled that get fucked, man. Everyone gets fucked if they stay in the game long enough.

Yeah, it’s funny how they don’t teach you to compute compound interest until your 3rd semester.
At the end of the day, I achieved my professional goals at the age of 35, and now I work as a consultant making better pay with much less rigid hours and dress code. I guess it was the investment/sacrifice I had to make to get here where I’m ultimately happier.

Boomer is the opposite of what's happening. Boomers got to build their own homes off of a butchers salary. They had jobs for days. And not just bullshit minimum wage ones.
The young people here (myself included at almost 30) will be lucky to do anything besides RENT their houses

Not sure if you intended to respond to me in this manner but here goes, I donated my 1200 to local food banks, as I am an essential worker and make plenty of money. I have graduate degree from a prestigious university, and I get to work on making people safe from diseases. So I don't know, I guess fuck off and for being a moron.

A yes, must be a virtue signal if I did a good deed. I live in poor city, I am sure people appreciated. You on the other hand should reach down, grab your boot straps and pull yourself up. My guess is your an avid Ayn Rand fan (though you haven't read any of her works, who also has "trouble" with the ladies, while I won't go so far as to call you an incel, you certainly seem to use their lingo quite adroitly.

lols! You couldn't be further off. I dislike Ayn Rand (even though I haven't read her, just based on the people who have suggested I read Atlas Shrugged). I get laid on a semi-regular basis, and have a girlfriend.
Oh poor you, you live in a poor city! How unfortunate! Why don't you just move then? Americans...

I mean, it's affordable, has a good culture, and is a short commute to work. I guess that is cool. As to the other point, of course it is bragging, the wise man would ignore the set-up altogether.

I am disappointed, I have been looking for a worthy troll to play with, you all fail me time and again. I guess I can only get my enjoyment trolling the true believers, and not the other trolls, who always resort to weak ad hominem attacks or other logical fallacies. By the by, ignoring it is a good idea, as my Mom is deceased and you would thus be necrophiliac as well as a poor excuse for a troll. Truly, I lament the state of the shroomery Pub, when it is populated by people like you. A parting gift as I tire of this mediocrity

Bullshit. There's tons of jobs hiring right now. People just don't want to work, think they're above the job or can't fucking pass a drug test.
I'm all over the state of Michigan every day, side to side and top to bottom. Northern Indiana and northwest Ohio. I haven't seen a job hiring for less than $14/hour to start + benefits
The government is telling people to stay home. The only reason people are still working is because society still needs things. If it weren't for those roles to fulfill then they would be at home too. I think at least that asking people to find new work right now is a little silly, given that is a personal risk and to others we may or may not encounter. It's not like these people at least are out of work. They are laid off by the government. If the gov tells you to go home and you don't resign and run to MacDonalds I won't blame you. Saying there is work doesn't mean it meets people's standards. In certain situations those shit jobs can be financially unviable based on their living expenses and lifestyle. You know.. travel time, hours, pay, benefits ect. Even if you say just work as part-time/a temp that can certainly make things even more difficult considering again expenses or people just not wanting to hire anything but someone who is going to stick around or with the right qualification/skillset. There's a lot of nuance imo. You could see a sign that says "Hiring all truckers" but do you really think that idiot who keeps backing his civic in to shit needs to be licensed for that sort of thing? nuance
Yeah, I'm sorry for my unreasonable outburst, you're absolutely right. The government is telling people to stay home by opening everything back up. You're right, what was I thinking when that factory had a now hiring welders $19/hour sign out front of their building, now hiring forklift operators $17/hour, that probably means they really weren't hiring. I understand that someone might need to drive 20-30 miles to go to work, that's just way too far. What was I thinking that someone might have to make a lifestyle sacrifice and put the weed pipe down, that is completely unacceptable. I understand that not being able to work your dream job for $200K a year is just way below your standards. That is a totally legit reason not to get a job.
Also, don't even fucking get me started about truckers lol, because these places do hire people that can barely drive. Shit,, they can't even speak English most of the time. I'll bet you've never been to Detroit, specifically Dearborn and watched the Arabic/Middle eastern drivers try to back into a wide open dock with no other trucks even in the way. Shit is scary.

Um. There's like 40 million less jobs now than there was in march. That's like a third of the available jobs.
And most places are at a hiring freeze.
Weird, because that's not what I see everyday. One of our west coast OTR drivers at my company was telling me she sees jobs available all across the US. She's probably lying to me.

I graduated from Purdue with a Magna Cum Laude degree in paralegal studies. I was only able to get legal secretary jobs for a long time. Finally I got to work for an attorney who sat on the nomenclature board of the Florida Bar Association as a paralegal. We got to rewrite the changes to the same sex marriage laws in Florida. After that job, I was unemployable because I was always overqualified for everything. I have an inbox folder that's got over 1,800 rejections, and that's just the ones that responded.
Had to deliver food for Uber Eats for a few months until I could get another job.
It's not always the super low skilled that get fucked, man. Everyone gets fucked if they stay in the game long enough.
Are you saying you took a job that wasn't exactly what you wanted to do for awhile, so you could get by? And you even looked for a better job at the same time while you were working delivering for Uber? What's wrong with you?

-------------------- Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

Sometimes I kinda miss delivering for Uber Eats, not gonna lie. It was a hella fun experience. The pay made it miserable, but sometimes I got to go back into the kitchens and I got to see all these cool, kitschy restaurants. Plus it felt like Crazy Taxi, but real life.
