And somehow there is always a recession just after these claims to set the plebs straight.
I think it also buries the lede… “Nobody wants to work.” Full stop.
I work because I don’t have a choice. I need the health insurance and the money to keep a roof over my head.
Nobody “wants” to work. ;)
I don’t want to work for someone else’s profit in order to make a living. I do still enjoy things that would be considered “work”.
We want to pay 1990 wages while charging you 2050 prices. Good luck!
Housing prices have doubled in less than 10 years in my area yet my wage has only gone up by about 4 dollars over the same time. And i only got that by getting a college education and switching careers.
Essentials like rent and food have also increased to the point where i still feel like I make less now.
You echo exactly how I feel. Thank you for giving us a voice and putting it out there. Now if only we could actually change it. But honestly I don’t see how. Record profits to corporations and the 1%, but not a snowballs chance in hell for the working person.
Queue guillotine joke and such… but seriously. I also know voting is to help too… but look how that’s played out. Sure Biden got the economy purring but it’s not helping the average family.
On top of that we have to deal with Ex-President Cheeto trying to hamfist his tiny little hands into things and split the country. I’m just so tired. I did what I should have… voted. Got educated. Work. Pay taxes. It’s gotten me barely making ends meet most of my adult life. I’m so so tired.
no apparently i’m just too lazy to work 48 hours a day
Why can’t you do like the rest of the winners and buy a business with mom and dad’s money?
Just not trying hard enough I guess.
Now they are saying this during an era of record profits but people’s wages are still generally trash and people underpaid in almost every field.
I do want to be productive and useful to anyone that is willing to reward me with the right amount of money :)
I only work for free for my family :)
