Thank Unions and Obama

[slow99]

yes... and they'd pay me more if they weren't paying into it

The incidence of a "tax" is borne by the party with the most inelastic frontier/curve.

I thought its the employer's that pay into the unemployment insurance, just sayin.

You make less than $10 per hour?

Stevo

No, just a tad more.

[stevo]

maybe one day I will make bank. 400/wk sounds good to me.

The Unions are bringing this country down, The Teachers Union is running our school system in the ground

I wish you were right. Then we would have someone to blame for all the schools closing here in Dallas and for the 30+ kids per classroom, for the teachers who are forced to cut their lunch brakes to.help with crowd controlled or having to work past their contracted time off the clock. If anything that union is worthless

I bet it looks real great on a resume going from a well paying job in your career field to folding burritos at Taco Bell.

That is the section that states "independent consultant to the fine dining industry"

LOL, you pay into unemployment insurance. You think $400/wk is big money to somebody used to making $2-3k/wk? It's meant to soften the hit while they look for new work.

26 weeks federal plus whatever by state. That's 6 1/2 months right off the bat. Hell no. If you can't find a job in 6 months, you'r enot looking

some people have higher overhead than others. not saying it's right or wrong, but I know plenty of people who have taken 6 months or more to find a livable job in this economy with a true unemployment rate over 30%

I've been on unemployment before, and it definitely bridged the gap until I found the right gig, and I'm thankful I didn't have to take a shit job just to keep the lights on because it's hard to land a good gig when you're stocking shelves at Home Depot, and now life is good

Anyone old enough to remember when Walmart was making the big push to get into every town in the Country (80's), they played the "made In America" card for most of their products. Once we started shopping there thus putting Mom and Pops Grocery stores out of business, good old Walmart started purchasing Chinese, Mylasia, Viet Nam, etc...

Walmart said F/U to this Country yrs ago, Obama did it when he entered the White House!

I'm pretty sure the shift towards profit at all costs followed the death of Sam Walton.

Newt was right. 99 weeks is not 'insurance', it's an associate degree.

lol, THAT I can agree with... the 99 weeks is over though, correct?

I think most of us remember that. Food companies, nutrition companies and corporations like Walmart care about profit, nothing more. They pay lip service to long term sustainability and community development but the only thin that really matters at the end of the day is making money.
