Reading thru this thread it has changed to meaningless arguing and counterpunching one liner comebacks with not much knowledge being shared...

I think this is caused by how bad the situation in the country and the world is getting to be. Many people can't imagine or don't want to face what could be the coming hard times...I read some of the local area facebook classifieds and see people begging for food or some piece work to get them thru. The rents are so high many are searching for a family home and can't seem to find anything to rent. (altho they insist their 4 cats are just as important at their young children).

So what's the solution? if you are in a situation where you don't have extra money or physical ability and see it as hopeless I guess just do what you do to mellow out,
If you have assets and are able to do things then a forum like this is a good place to discuss and exchange meaningful ideas about what is coming and how best to deal with it.

There are no dumb questions but there sure are some dumb answers. If you have nothing to learn and nothing to contribute and you don't give any credence to what other people are doing just maybe candy crush is your calling....
I just posted in another thread how most of us are tolerant of differing opinions and posts....as long as people are not insulated or belligerent!!
 
A convicted felon in office and listening to an intelligent woman is considered a bad thing.
Wow we really should be ashamed.
Here's the Jury that convicted him...

What I nice world it would be. no preaching or screaming or suicide vests, just everyone focusing on what we have in common for once. Let the little "g" gods fight it out while we have some popcorn.

The "lady" is a leftist poser - - like so many, she lacks ACCOUNTABILITY.
We don't need more Leftists flushing our country down the commode....we are DONE.
The problem with sticking to Candy Crush (and Gamers) is that the world spins past you.... even the Skittle Heads (stolen from Magus)
have to come up for air sometimes. They shock themselves with how out-of-touch they have been with reality,
and the rest of humanity.
 
Oh, yay. More physical jobs.

I could run a mile in 4 minutes and change into my mid forties, when the government-required flu shot (military) completely disabled me and took away my ability to run or do much else. I was perfectly healthy and could out work anyone, physically.

This administration could do a great deal to restore America's health by forcing employers and the military to stop giving blanket vaccinations to healthy people, for things they would recover from.

Never had the flu. Living with the disability from an unneeded flu shot, 8 years later. Stole my life and my job, and took away my full health and fitness. Now, with Trump's return to work order for federal employees, I'll have to take 90 minutes out of my day for commuting, which means I have less (or no) time for rehab to try to recover.

If you are Federal working from home - - and you took the Jab - - which disabled you, to whatever degree - - and you still want to continue working from home - - you can make a case for this with Trump. The Buyouts have closed (in part due to Leftist Judges constraining DOGE/Trump's downsizing efforts) - - but I believe you have a strong case for your disability from the VAX.
The Moderna one caused an epidemic of myocarditis in young and middle-aged men. My friends husband died 3 days after taking it.
I took the religious exemption. My body my choice doesn't just apply to the Leftists. I'm sorry that happened to you. Heartbreaking.
 
I tried to cook with a can of Spam once...that was that
I will eat cans of ravioli or sardines before I will ever buy another can of Spam, that stuff is just...wrong....
Seriously? I think few things taste as good as spam. If I ever just totally gave up on life, I would eat spam until I exploded. I've never done meth, but I imagine spam is the meth of food.
 
So what's the solution?

I have always maintained, that for MOST people, there is no solution. There is no saving them. They are dead men walking.

I'm sure they are up to something! They will constantly be up to something!!🙁 Just think if they focused all that negative energy on doing good!!🤔
 
If everyone could get on board, it will be less painful. But sadly there are far too many mentally ill morons running around.

Biden and the Deep State have had a 40 year head start on all this, so don't think it will be a quick and easy fix.

As far as some "big thing" coming, you can be sure that they are hard at work planning something for some time.

My patience has ended for these morons, if they want war, so be it.

Its no rumor, the anchor baby in CA is openly calling for armed civil war. Why this baby-faced, self-entitled waste of skin is still walking around is beyond me. He'd be in a cell at GITMO with the other terrorists if I was running the show.
 
They couldn't even riot on jan 6th (25)....war is the last thing they are capable of. They are just going to cry and call their senators, like usual.
Let them, the tree of liberty looks thirsty and better them than us. Christ! its like a zombie apocalypse! I mean look at them, they're literally brain-dead zombies! Lock N" Load, this could be that last good fight I need!

I see "hiring' signs all over the place here. There seems to be no shortage of some sort of jobs. At least for now. I think some of the problem is people's spending habits. You do not need the latest Iphone, you do not need to pay for entertainment , you do not need to go out to eat, you do not need the latest fashion, and you do not need to drive a new car either. Stuff like that.
What you do it save as much money as you can when you do have a job so you don't need to do without if you don't

But yeah, the only thing I see in the future here is economic crash due to the debt\deficit. You can't just keep spending money you don't have ( government AND people)

We still have job shortages in Southern Louisiana - - between 40 and 200 people applying for one job.
But we feel all that is about to change due to Trump's policies.
We've been waiting (many suffering) for 4 years. A few more months holding out for the upturn shouldn't be that bad. (We hope.)
 
How so? Curious how trump polices are going to create more workers.
It's going to increase the demand for growth in the industries themselves and then all supportive markets.
Instead of there being business (and banks) closing like under Joe Bribem & Komrade Kamala and a vacuum/void, shrinkage - -
it will be a BOOM as we've seen in the past. Businesses across the board will want and promote positive GROWTH
because the rising tide begins to lift all ships. They'll look at the numbers and start again to believe in HOPE for the economy.
More than that - - as it grows... it will dictate a DEMAND for the skilled workers they need to fulfill contracts, etc.
Growth in HOUSING, INSURANCE, FOOD, FARMS, TRANSPORTATION, CONSTRUCTION, you name it.
Everything to SUPPORT the new growth. Don't forget about the support systems surrounding the positive change.
It's why people across the country moved in droves to Florida and Tennessee in the last 4 years - - because those States were
run VERY WELL and weren't hit as hard by the folly of the last 4 years. Those States had their own growth developing.

Sorry, but this all sounds like creating more JOBS.

I'm wondering how it will create WORKERS.

Demand is already higher than supply from everything from janitors, to doctors. I do think he will create more demand as you say, but its the supply side I don't see materializing.

Oh, I'm sorry - - you and I are experiencing are on opposite ends of the spectrum.
What cities are in your area?
 
None that you would recognize. Are you saying your area has more workers than jobs? That would be a nice problem to have.
Yes absolutely. Way way way more workers than jobs.
I have a degree in Economics (among other things) and I watch trends in different States and try to stay up to speed on things.
I've traveled and some of my friends live out of State, and they travel. So all-in-all, if you tell me a general geographical area, I can probably tell you a lot about what's going on economically there, good, medium, or bad.

I'm in Southern Louisiana, as you already know.

What State is yours?

Montana.

I will tell you right now....one of our big problems is lack of housing, and lack of workers to make housing, so even when there are people willing to move here to work, they can't afford to live here (countries most unaffordable state) and even if they have money, there aren't enough builders to get a house up.
