Chaos Grows under Biden leadership
Consumer prices are rising, the Stock Market is finally tanking, businesses can't find workers because they have been incentivized not to work, there are now gas lines on east coast and the price of gas is in $3 per gallon territory. We all know about the unmitigated disaster on the southern border, as the nation becomes swamped with illegal migrants. There is also a new war in the middle east and one of our important gas lines has been shut down by hackers. Crime is skyrocketing in big blue cities as cops resign in droves. Move over Jimmy Carter, Joe Biden is at the helm.
The "president" has been reluctant to talk about it. The lying media (both traditional & social) continues to cover for him. As he put it recently "I'm not supposed to be answering all these questions." Maybe we should direct our questions to Bernie Sanders or Susan Rice? Where is the msm? They seem to be obsessed with Liz Cheney. I suppose that is better than talking about the crisis caused by the man who was so intent on undoing everything Donald Trump did. Which brings us to the fickle swine who voted for Biden because they didn't like the way Trump talked. You are all responsible for this. You were made fools of by the vermin who christened themselves "progressives", (not to be confused with the original Progressives of American history). So you never cared about deeds (policy), it was only about Trump's hurtful words? This is what you voted for instead: inflation, joblessness, a bear market, crime & violence and another middle east crisis.
The word to describe it comes from the 1970's - "a malaise."

As somebody famous once said: "elections have consequences!"
What 'it' do you mean Vic?
Please post an example.
What Biden ACTUALLY said was:
Biden said that at the end of a press conference about the Covid vaccine, after a question about his meeting with Congressional leadership about the infrastructure bill. He then returned to the lectern and answered the question.
Your seed is rife with utter bullshit Vic.
LMAO!
What 'it' do you mean Vic?
Please post an example.
Or is this going to be ANOTHER of your seeds in which you avoid answering questions at all costs and refuse to support your proclamations?
It being any of the above crisis situations.
Please post an example.
The most egregious would be the southern border, where Biden put his vp in charge, only to never address or visit the border and referred questions to his lying secretary of homeland security, who keeps claiming "the border is closed." Biden himself has not addressed the border crisis.
Or is this going to be ANOTHER of your seeds in which you avoid answering questions at all costs and refuse to support your proclamations?
You mean where I have to offer up proof for every word I say as if I were dealing with Saul Alinsky?
What else is new?
So you can't cite anything specific. Got ya.
WTF does all that blather have to do with your allegation that the media is covering for Biden Vic? Do try to keep up.
No I mean your MO of ignoring questions and posting proclamations while refusing to support them. Just like this one.
That's ridiculous. Nothing that Vic cited is a crisis Tex. Paleo-conservatives sure freak out easily.
Neo-neanderthals
Evening Vic.. now an educated and well spoken person such as yourself, would have had to of cringed with what Trump said at times.
Any normal logical thinking person would have sat there and said...What!!!! Geez we did..The one that sticks in my mind was after the election that he was going to win..the virus will all but disappear...have not seen the latest figures over there from the virus... they stopped reporting it here....
Things in the USA look pretty normal to me ..usual crimes, occasional riots, shootings, political dramas etc...as for wars, always has been and always will be..that unfortunately is human nature...let them get on with it.
Geez you mob are lucky..$3 for a gallon of petrol...hell we pay $1.60 a litre so multiple that by nearly 4. Last I heard NZ is paying $2.10 a litre.
Sometimes Vic you need to be grateful for what you have and where you live...it may not be a bed of roses, no where is but you are a lot better off than many.
Why waste brain cells on bloody politicians...they really don't give a stuff about the likes of you and me... regardless of what they say..
They are to busy with their snouts in the pig trough and calculating their pensions... ever seen a poor hard up ex President?? It is no different here.
YOU ARE SO RIGHT ON!
Yep, I did that for emphasis! Politicians don't give a rat's tiny ass in regard to anyone outside of their personal little circle.
Trump is no excuse for Biden's piss poor job performance.
As for the rest. In case you missed the last 5 years of left wing TDS driven lunacy. Calling out a sitting president for being a piece of human garbage is the norm for this country. So again, there is no excuse for Biden.
Trump did such a great job that his approval ratings rarely got out of the 30 percentile. Right now Biden is at 60 plus percentile. Going by the numbers, it is not Biden but Trump who had a piss pour jp. Trump threw so much mud at people that if mud slinging were an Olympic event, he would bring home the gold.
But President Biden isn't a human piece of garbage, trumpturd is.
You forgot 'leftist brown shirts'.
I didn't think he was either. Good to know you agree with me for a change.
Have you thought of opening a hate card division at Hallmark? Maybe you should concentrate more on A.O.C. as a deflection while Liz wields her broom.
A great well written and right on article. Well done.
Leadership? Is that what they call what he’s doing in the White House?
Some of our worst fears in about 5 months.
Gee, I wonder if businesses are having trouble finding workers because of the over 500,000 dead thanks to whatshisname and how many sick??
No, they are having trouble because people can make more by sitting at home thanks to Joe Biden, or should I say Bernie Sanders?
That's not true. You can't make more money sitting at home, thanks to President Biden.
Here you go again:
Yes and AGAIN, the link you try to pretend supports your rant about Biden was published in 2020 during Trump's reign.
ANOTHER fail Vic.
Dulay, even his putrid press secretary told the nation that we don't like him answering questions as in any place, anytime and on any issue!
Yes, you've done it again. You're wearing egg on your face!
No, Dulay is always correct. Your sources never show what you claim they show.
She is our very own "wordsmith" don't ya know.
Your sources never show what you claim they show.
You mean the links I provide as opposed to the ones you don't?
When I provide a link they are truthful and factual and claim what I claimed they claim.
I'm no longer surprised by your deflections and pretense of 'WINNING!' Vic. It's just a continued note from a sad trombone.
You truncated Biden's statement to try to make a point that doesn't exist without your disingenuous practice. Then you deflect to a link that actually refutes your posit.
Your claim about what Psaki said is FALSE. All anyone need do is READ YOUR link to prove it to themselves. Why do you post links that prove that your comments are utter fabrication Vic?
You never post any links even when asked.
Or reads the ones supplied.
You label me with that term all the time Vic. It surprises me that you insist on acknowledging that I am a skilled user of words so often.
"Crime is skyrocketing in big blue cities as cops resign in droves."
Which 'big blue cities' are those? Proof? Proof that the cops are resigning in droves?
You've heard of CNN, right?
Here you go:
This is not some hidden secret. It's common knowledge!
None of those places - the 3 places named - were 'big blue cities'. Excuse me, 4.
Yes and it's no secret that it started under the former guy.
So dumping it in Biden's lap is obtuse and disingenuous Vic.
What did? The leftist rioting & violence in blue cities?????
Why the obtuse comment Vic? Follow the thread. It starts with a block quote from YOUR seed which claims:
You then link an article from JUNE of 2020. In short, you are disingenuously blaming Biden for events that occurred during Trump's reign. The only way your claim couldn't be labeled as hypocritical is if you could link a seed that you published decrying cops resigning in droves in JUNE of last year.
Oh and BTFW, you've posted NO evidence that crime is skyrocketing ANYWHERE. That is just another one of your unsubstantiated and unfounded proclamations.
True enough. BLM and antifa started under the former democrat.... obama
And the crime rate took off after the police departments were emasculated by blue state governors & mayors. The two things are related, don't ya know!
He brought BLM into the White House. Then we had all those cops murdered.
You have provided proof of nothing.
Relevance?
Another proclamation.
Prove it Vic. Post a link that actually supports your claim. However I would suggest that you READ any link before you post it since every link that you have posted so far refutes your own posit.
Ya! EVERY SINGLE TIME!
He never does.
You've had all day Vic. WHERE is your proof that crime rates took off. You've made the claim more than once. PROVE it.
When did they do that?
You are the one that trapped yourself. You say crime rates didn't go up. Who among your friends is honest enough to stand up for the facts that EVERYONE knows?
Oh you know, when the people who share that rotten ideology were rioting for over a year.
That is a LIE Vic. I have NOT opined on crime rates. I have merely tried to get YOU to prove YOUR proclamation that crime rates 'took off' because police have left the job. You have FAILED to do so.
Who among YOUR friends can back up your proclamation Vic? As of yet, none have stepped up with a link to bail you out.
Read it all [ deleted Thanks ]
[deleted]
Welcome back Jim.
If they read it, they'll only dismiss it. They were unable to prove the Steele Dossier's credibility and now they dismiss what is common knowledge.
How sweet!
[deleted]
[deleted]
NOTHING in your link supports Vic's claim that crime rates 'took off' because police have left the job. In FACT, your link give an entirely DIFFERENT reason for the rise in crime: a failure in policing.
Then DO IT Tex. Post a fucking link that does so.
There is NOTHING in Jim's link about the 'number of police shrinking'. Not one fucking thing.
It's ALL about cops failing to police. You should READ it.
So then be insane and post a link Tex.
When you state something as a fact, you should be able to support it.
Vic has tried and failed miserably. In fact his link is from June and doesn't even cite a 'take off' in crime rates.
Jim tried to help but alas, his link was an utter failure too. In fact, in one of the links in his article, it states:
But now YOU want to insist that it's all been assumption, connecting non-existent dots and I should just accept your posit.
Ridiculous.
I doubt that will help but you and your buddies couldn't do much worse. Or can you?
I'm used to dealing with adults who don't pull bullshit from their nether regions and are capable of backing up their posits.
There's no argument here Tex. Vic, Jim and YOU made allegations that NONE of you can prove. I'm used to dealing with adults who admit when they are wrong.
It's always fun to watch y'all flail around for evidence to support your fabricated 'facts'.
Obtuse and disingenuous as ever.
They didn't.
Funny, I didn't see that at all. I think you're still conflating BLM protests with riots. Get back to me when you clear that up.
Don't hold your breath.
So how is the cyber hackers hacking the pipeline President Biden's fault??
Killing the already agreed to Keystone Pipeline was his fault. Gas prices were already heading to $3 under Biden. He owns it, Tess.
The Keystone Pipeline? You're still talking about that?
And no, President Biden had nothing to do with that. You act like Keystone was going to over endless jobs to anyone that wanted one. Nonsense!
THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH TODAY'S SHORTAGES. PEOPLE ARE SCARED BECAUSE OF THE CYBER HACKERS HACKING THE PIPELINE AND ARE RUNNING OUT AND BUYING GAS BECAUSE OF THAT.
HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE, NOTHING
There it is, the emotion driven response from the Biden supporters in big letters, instead of reason or facts.
No, I provided facts. Nothing emotion driven here.
As you always do!
Plus none of the oil from the Keystone Pipelines was going to the states in the first place so again, Keystone pipeline has nothing to do with ANYTHING.
You should follow my example and provide relevant current facts.
Where?
Actually, she is right.
"Actually, she is right."
Of course I am. See how that was never disputed? Comment 4.1.5? Not disputed!
Gas started going up here immediately after dipshit took office. Coincidence? I don’t know but it’s gone up .85 to .90 cents per gallon.
And what policy decisions did trump make to drive up the price of gas?
He is like a human wrecking ball. Trump had the US become a self reliant energy producer. Biden comes in and reverses everything that Trump did and kills the Keystone Pipeline. Now it's about implementing that "green new deal." How many people do you know who own electric cars? How many charging stations do you see? Maybe it's not yet time to cancel fossil fuels?
Why do you keep spreading that dis/mis/information about Keystone pipeline? That oil was going elsewhere to be refined and processed. IT WAS NEVER FOR USE IN THE U.S. The former 'president' did not make the US become a self-reliant energy producer.
THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HACKERS/THERE WAS NO SHORTAGE OF GAS.
THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING.
YOU ACT AS THOUGH THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE WAS GOING TO OFFER ENDLESS JOBS TO EVERYONE IN THE U.S. THAT WANTED ONE. THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY FEW PERMANENT JOBS FOR ANYONE IN THE US
That has nothing to do with President Biden
But, we sure could use it now!
Sorry, you all got him into the White House and the buck stops there!
So it's not his fault, at all, in no way, shape, or form.
Thanks for admitting that!
Sure could use what now?
So again, you admit Keystone Pipeline has nothing to do with President Biden or the alleged shortages.
Good!
Thank goodness for President Biden!!!!!!!!!!!!! Funny how with the prior 'president' the buck never stopped there. It went right into his pockets.
Funny how the prior 'president' was blameless for EVERYTHING and now President Biden is responsible for EVERYTHING that happened because of the incompetent/impotent turd #45.
When he said, "dipshit" I assumed he was talking about trump.
“Now it's about implementing that "green new deal."”
more like the green pipe dream. We are no where ready for the move to ev’s. They are still too costly. Charging times are still way to long. More importantly, the infrastructure isn’t even minutely close to being in place and the grid can’t handle it. And what happens to the cost of electricity when the majority moves to ev’s? And will it be any cleaner than it is now? Renewable energy is a catchy, but empty phrase. It is undependable. Pv panels work 12 hrs out of a 24 hr day and when it’s cloudy output is greatly diminished. Wind turbines only work when the wind is blowing. But hey, let’s jump right in to the great depression times 10.
“How many people do you know who own electric cars?“
none, lol. I see them once in a while but that’s it. As far as charging stations there is one at the local walmart. Not to say it can’t be done but we have a very long way to go to be off our reliance to fossil fuels.
You've got it my friend!
We are not short on fuels. What we are short of is qualified fuel tanker drivers. When the pandemic hit, consumer use was way down so many qualified drivers left or retired due to little to no deliveries. The schools who train these drivers shut down also.
Thanks for the facts!
No fuel shortages.
No relation to the Keystone Pipeline.
Actually the shortage of drivers started way before the pandemic.
So what?
"There is also a new wat in the middle east and one of our important gas lines has been shut down by hackers." That's President Biden's fault how??
What's a wat??
It's a character in the movie "A Knight's Tale".
Did he not restore aid to the Palestinians?
Has nothing to do with it anyway.
Also, the Palestinians have a right to live, not just the Israelis.
So they say - on campus.
Which brings us to the fickle swine who voted for Biden because they didn't like the way Trump talked. You are all responsible for this. You were made fools of by the vermin who christened themselves "progressives", (not to be confused with the original Progressives of American history). So you never cared about deeds (policy), it was only about Trump's hurtful words? This is what you voted for instead: inflation, joblessness, a bear market, crime & violence and another middle east crisis.
This is quite hateful. Who wrote this hateful trash?
What trump policy?
So trump only uttered hurtful words??
We didn't like the way trump talked?
We didn't like anything about trump.
Talk about deflection and denial. . . . .serious, serious denial and serious, serious deflection.
Who are the fools here?
It happens to be true and somebody has to stand up for the truth.
What trump policy?
The same one you always ask about and that I always waste my time detailing for you.
So trump only uttered hurtful words??
Yup, as did George Patton, Curtis LeMay and William Tecumseh Sherman
We didn't like the way trump talked?
The "we" in the article would be moderates & independents. As for progressives, I'm guessing you also hated his policies and America in general.
We didn't like anything about trump.
Apparently not.
Who are the fools here?
The moderates, independents and some Republicans who voted for Biden.
"The "we" in the article would be moderates & independents. As for progressives, I'm guessing you also hated his policies and America in general."
So who wrote this hateful trash?
Once again you've put words in my mouth. Stop that.
Whatshisname had no policies. Only hate.
If you see it that way, it obviously needed to be written.
You are very welcome!
So who wrote this hateful trash?
You still haven't answered.
I don't know why such hateful trash is allowed to stand.
How ironic, coming from you of all people!
So, are you calling me hateful trash?
You know I don't do that. I allow the readers to be the judge.
Why would anyone want yo insult hurtful trash like that?
I love how the photo that accompanies this article is an empty gas pump - as if Joe Biden is out there sending sending ransomware to US companies. That is so plainly opportunistic that it perfectly describes the level of intellect of the target audience for this type of trashy article.
I love how the photo that accompanies this article is an empty gas pump
Kind of symbolic of the Biden administration!
he level of intellect of the target audience for this type of trashy article.
Well, It seems to have attracted you.
We like to provide the truth.
Well, It seems to have attracted you.
Certainly not to read it. I am attracted to opportunities to point at absurdity, and the photo alone was all it took. Congrats.
As your avatar demonstrates.
Since when ?
They cut off a pipeline to the Eastern Seaboard for days, tried to poison a Florida water-treatment plant, held hospital IT systems hostage and stole an undetermined trove of information in the SolarWinds hack – all as the Biden administration searches for a way to respond.
Cyberattacks are on the rise, and they’re increasingly targeting major infrastructure installations, like transportation hubs, energy facilities and utility companies.
The technology to prevent many of these attacks already exists, experts say, and hacks targeting critical infrastructure, which can threaten American lives, are akin to acts of war.
So President Biden signed an executive order Wednesday to strengthen U.S. cyberdefenses and bolster the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, known as CISA.
"U.S. public and private sector entities increasingly face sophisticated malicious cyber activity from both nation-state actors and cyber criminals," the White House said in a statement. "These incidents share commonalities, including insufficient cybersecurity defenses that leave public and private sector entities more vulnerable to incidents."
Biden’s executive actions would likely require federal agencies and contractors to meet minimum cybersecurity protocols – but that doesn’t go nearly far enough, according to former Rep. Denver Riggleman , R-Va., who spent 20 years in intelligence for the military, the National Security Agency and in private industry.
"We need to pick the first country that f---- with us in a cyber way and bring them to their knees," he told Fox News Wednesday.
His solution is dramatically ramping up spending for offensive cyber capabilities, and then using them disproportionately in response to any future attacks, especially when they are linked to the governments of Russia, China, Iran or North Korea.
Well gee Vic, al least you acknowledge that Biden intends to respond, unlike Trump, who gave Russia and Putin a pass every chance he got.
Then how to explain Biden's soaring 63% approval?
We shall find out if that's real or not in a matter of roughly 2 years. Mailing out money to people is one thing, a general malaise is another.
When you don't have a comeback, poster is always the next best thing.
We call it the Bronx special!
He's bringing back those teen beat style magazines for teenage girls, but instead of putting posters of David Cassidy up, he's moved onto Joe Biden.
I love it!
Oh yes, Biden is so much more photogenic. Let's give Biden credit for one thing - he may be the only man who looks ok in a designer suit. (you need stick legs!)
Sounds like jealousy. #45 looks like shit in anything he wears.
That burn you are feeling about Biden's 63% approval rating is what I call a "Bronx Special".
Let's give him the "Bronx Cheer"
You are so right! Trump never has looked good in his $17,000 designer suits.
Fat is fat, and in Trump's case, clothes does not make the man. Trump is just a blubbery fat hog no matter how much his clothing costs.
I'm old enough to remember the Jackie Gleason show. That man was HUGE but he looked GREAT in a well tailored suit. Yet Trump always look frumpy.
The clothes the fat pig wears are even bigger than him (with shoulder pads) to make the big fat pig appear not to be such a big fat pig. Doesn't work.
With his alleged billions you'd think he'd find himself a decent tailor.
I thought a Bronx special was a good hot dog and an egg cream.
That seems to be your answer to everything. How long do you think it will take for people to look beyond the money he is giving away?
As opposed to the money Trump stole from his own supporters?
What's the highest the former occupant got, 35%?
That 63% is probably low for President Biden!
And you are wrong again. Are you tired of being wrong all the time?
The seeded article is delusional.
That's quite a comeback. If that's all you got, I must have nailed it.
How do think people feel about those who voted for #45? You call us fickle swine and vermin. What do you think we think of those who voted for him?
Are you a progressive?
Your belief that Donald Trump was very popular based on his wonderful "policies" but only lost some votes because of his "loud mouth" is delusional Vic.
Trump had very few, if any, policies that commanded majority support. Just because you and other extreme rightists like something doesnt mean the majority of Americans do.
But even beyond the narrow topic of "policies" Trump has destroyed any hope for "unity" in this country, with thousands of lies, a corrupt administration, startling personal ignorance of issues, his constant anti-science outlook, his cozying up to white supremacists, his traitorous conduct viv a vis Ukraine, and his lies about the 2020 election which directly encouraged the riot at the Capitol Building. And a thousand other things.
Your article is totally delusional.
I'm a LIBERAL/PROGRESSIVE/DEMOCRAT.
I choose to live in today not an alternate reality/a past that never was.
Ya, exactly right John, as usual!
[deleted]
He had to stack the deck or get shut down.
Really? Let us consider a key voting group. A lot of the experts point to him losing suburban women as a contributing factor to the loss in 2020. Let us try to determine what those women were voting on. Was it his demeanor or was it his policies? The consequences of the 2020 election looms large for this particular group.
First - Schools have been closed in many places per the advocacy of the Teacher's Union (a key democrat constituency). The Teacher's Union had 0 influence with Donald Trump. What do you think the past year was like for suburban women with school age children?
Second - The violence & rioting we saw for over a year was accepted and even supported by blue state governors & mayors. Trump was offering the National Guard. How many suburban moms want that going on near their communities?
Third - Biden's plan to change zoning laws:
"If you live in the suburbs or you're a city-dweller eyeing a move to a quiet cul-de-sac where your kids can play, you need to know about Joe Biden's plan for a federal takeover of local zoning laws.
Biden's plan is to force suburban towns with single-family homes and minimum lot sizes to build high-density affordable housing smack in the middle of their leafy neighborhoods."
Conclusion: If suburban women are literate/knowledgeable at all, they wouldn't be voting for Biden because of policy. They in effect voted against their own interests. Therefore, one has to conclude that they actually cast their votes against Donald Trump because they simply didn't like his demeanor. A very silly way to vote. On the other hand, maybe they actually bought the media hype about "Trump failing to handle the pandemic."
Anyone who voted for #45 was voting against their own interests unless they were filthy rich.
The intention is to promote equal housing opportunities and level the playing field so that all neighborhoods provide the quality services and amenities that are important for people to live successful lives.
Gee, nobody wants that, right ? /s
I never described them as literate. If they voted against the interests of their families, they clearly aren't very intelligent despite their earnings or diploma mill certification.
Al the worst to them.
Especially progressives who live behind walls.
Coming from you that is a laugh - you voted for the LEAST intelligent president we EVER had (and I do not mean GW). Talk about low intelligence.
He is Albert Einstein compared to that brain dead piece of shit you voted for!
[DELETED]
Vic, please, get a grip. If you told Trump you would give him a million dollars if he could talk intelligently about climate change for two minutes he would be frustrated, flummoxed, and a failure. He is easily the most uninformed president we have ever seen. Easily.
He claims to have a very high IQ but for some reason he chose to keep it hidden for the past 6 years , lol.
#45 is a braindead piece of shit.
Sorry, John, It's a little to muddy down here for me.
Someone with a measurable IQ knows where PR is, ingesting bleach is wrong, and can find their car when it is 5 feet from the steps of their plane. Guess who could not.
And hateful.
"Which brings us to the fickle swine who voted for Biden because they didn't like the way Trump talked. You are all responsible for this.

And residing in an alternate reality.
You didn't nail anything Vic.
Somebody's Maypo was cold this morning.
Don't forget to check out.
The shortage of gas is much the result of panic buying. Florida gas stations have run out of gas yet 90% of our fuel comes in via ship. There has been no disruption in the delivery of fuel to the various ports in FL.
Here are the stats on ransomware attacks they have been growing at an alarming rate for 5 years and Biden putting money and time into stopping the attacks is needed.
.
The worker shortage is due to a number of reasons, there are a number of articles on it.
Keep googling.
Here are the stats on ransomware attacks they have been growing at an alarming rate for 5 years and Biden putting money and time into stopping the attacks is needed.
Why not punish the perpetrators?
The worker shortage is due to a number of reasons
In addition to the obvious one?
The links are from Florida ports and newspapers. Oh and since I live here I'm a hell of a lot more familiar with the dynamics of Florida than you seem to be.
Here is another link for you.
Who said anything about not punishing the preps, not I.
Thanks for confirming what I said and further clarifying Kavika! And for providing the truth as always!
Source:
Nothing says, "We'll continue to take the money if you're still willing to give it," like actually proving it.
Source:
So what's happening in Michigan represents what's happening everywhere else?
And those reasons are in the link that I posted.
And are also in the link I provided too.
Since it seems that the service industry (bars, restaurants) are the ones that are experiencing the largest shortage. Those establishments have minimum wage standards that are much different.
Working in the service industry requires face-to-face contact with a large number of people which increases one's exposer to COVID. Do the bars and restaurants require masks and social distancing? if not the worker is taking an unnecessary chance for a combined $9.65 an hour. Would you do it? I sure as hell wouldn't.
Um... Governor Whitmer, need I say more?
And if I had no job at all? Yeah, I would do whatever I could to make ends meet. The construction / concrete business is hurting a great deal too... they usually start out at $15 / hour to stand there all day with a sign that says "Slow" on one side and "Stop" on the other. Oh... and lawn companies... $10 / hour to start. General labor $18-$20 to start... Contractors in general are struggling to find people.
Yes?
You can start at page 3.
No need.
I'll focus on Maryland.
So... why did you say yes to my question regarding Gov. Whitmer? If you didn't want to really know, then why bother asking?
Since you brought up construction here is a link about your home state and construction.
Good read.
I read it already.
And two of the teenagers in my house were offered jobs as soon as they have licenses and transportation.
So it seems that innovative thinking is the answer to the problem and that a labor shortage has been building for quite some time.
In my old industry, there is a waiting line of people wanting to be employed, if the wages are right and management uses creative thinking it seems to alleviate some of the problems.
Here is the latest on McDonald's and wages.
Well when all you said was "Um . . .Governor Whitmer, need I say more?" it would help to expound rather than throw up an article at me which may not say what you think.
Except if you are offered a suitable job and refuse it, you loose unemployment. So I guess Darren Lee isn't offering 'suitable jobs'.
[deleted]
Well gee Tex. based on the block quote, Darren Lee knows exactly why he can't find workers.
Like other employers, Darren Lee pays unemployment insurance and doesn't want his rate to go up so if one of his laid off employees refused to return, it would behoove him to report them. Those of us who have been employers know these things Tex.
Is it your posit that this is an epiphany that the unemployed JUST figured out Tex?
Unemployment is EARNED via prior work Tex. Even YOU know that right?
Unemployment started in 1935 Tex. Your comment is ridiculous.
Thanks for highlighting the typo. GREAT job...
Typo eh? You make that “typo” quite often.
Then you have an obligation to point it out every time.
I always want to spell 'sure' with an 'h'.
Carry on.
Well then HOW did Darren Lee know why he can't get workers Tex? Unless they were prior employees, they sure as fuck aren't going to tell Darrell why they'd rather collect unemployment.
Except the extra $300 that was given was not earned anywhere.
Actually, that is only minimally true. MANY people are STILL making less on unemployment than they made working full time.
It used to be you were found a job by employment agencies and if you turned a job down, you did not receive benefits.
Evening Kavika...Stuff the petrol...start up a rumour there is going to be a dunny roll shortage again due to drop kicks panic buying... Geez people just never learn...
LOL, the lines would be Kilometers long.
In about 20 years or so , when the great grandkids ask about the great 2020 TP shortage and what we did , i will be telling them we dragged out butts across the yard ......in the snow , both ways ......while dodging "murder hornets ".
and it was uphill in both directions.
Right , i forgot that part , but in 20 yrs ill be almost 80 so i can be forgiven for forgetting some details .
Im finding it hard to believe in 9 days ill be 59 ......
Evening Mark...59...you are just a Spring chook...it is only a number and I guarantee you will not feel any different the following day..😀😀
I would kill to be 59 again. I turn 69 in July.
What is a dunny roll? I am guessing that it some kind bread.
I HAVE to remember that one!
Oh my mind says im still not old , but the last week of turning garden plots and doing some yard work for those that cant do it themselves have definitely made my muscles and joints remind me i am not as flexable as i once was ( results of a youth spent not caring of consequences or potential injuries that come back to haunt one later in life , im a better weather predictor than a trained weather person now ) next year at this time i will be considering whether to do the full retirement or not , been semi retired for the last 10 years or so , but keep finding "Busy work " to keep myself somewhat out of trouble and keep things in perspective .
(chuckles) , served dry and depending on make can be kind of rough , when wet , hard to chew in bulk......
In 10 years i will be saying the same thing , no doubt about it as to wishing i was this age again.
I believe that is an Aussie term for a roll of toilet paper.
I worked with an Microsoft Access pro who lived in Australia during an Access Technical Beta Test project a few years back, and I learned some of the Aussie lingo. And she learned some of the American lingo from me. I was a very interesting exchange.
Morning Paula..toilet paper..we often refer to the toilet as a dunny or loo...so if someone says they are going to the dunny..they are going to the bathroom/toilet...Sorry I forget sometimes when posting on here and use everyday language you might not know what I am talking about..😀😀
Morning Mark...that is so good of you to help people out that can no longer manage. I am in that category myself now, never thought I would be in that boat but the myeloma has done that.
I am sure people really appreciate your help and efforts. Good on you. Yes we all get older and have to gracefully accept the loss of youth...but at the end of the day...it is what you make of it.
Can highly recommend full retirement glad I did 4 years ago when I was 57....as you never know what is around the corner..so go for it....😀😀
The Dems keep trying to wash the mud off of, and apply lipstick to...their pig of a president.
The only pig of a 'president' was #45. #45 isn't covered in mud, it's shit.
Meh, so long as it isn’t Trump I’m good. Frankly I’d rather the office be vacant than for that piece of shit to spend another day in the Oval Office.
You got your wish.
Yepp.. LOL
It was largely vacant when he held the office as a lot of his time was spent on golfing.

A number of years ago the South Park Kids had the answer to all of this...
And now, as promoted by Trump and Pompeo, the answer is to....
But what MUST be ignored is the REAL reason...
