    You ever talk to a loser melenial about their "job hunt"? It becomes painfully clear that they are not willing to sacrifice to build a resume.

    'Oh I can't find any jobs in the Bay Area in the super specific field I want to work in'

    The spoiled little (*)(*)(*)(*)s think that they are entitled to the job they want where they want with 0 (*)(*)(*)(*)ing experience. They are pathetically deluded.

    He's talking about outsourcing, which is quite real.

    Why not those with mortgages too? And credit card debt?

    No one should have been bailed out. And the CEOs of said banks should have went to prison.

    We could go full blowhard and make all kinds of noise about immigration and outsourcing...but that wouldn't address the probem.

    We need the government to start hiring again (they've been shedding jobs for 8 years) and we need loan forgiveness and or interest rate drops.

    There's a CRAPLOAD of money tied up in paying off debts for college loans that could be used for buying homes and starting businesses...

    That would be a real solution

    Another govt job is a net loss. Govt jobs don't generate income. The rest of us are paying that persons salary. ...didn't you know. They're all fake jobs when it comes
    Down to it. The govt should only be as big as it needs to be, which is lean and efficient which of course is the polar opposite of reality which is bloated and wasteful as (*)(*)(*)(*) with so much redundancy and useless jobs, it makes any private sector worker throw up at the waste.

    Half of our tax money is just pissed away. That's what burns me up. If the waste and foolishness were eliminated, and that money was redirected to good projects (infrastructure, space exploration to Mars), I'd be ok with what I pay.

    Yea well don't whine about unemployment when you're gutting government jobs (ya know like police,fire,teachers etc,)

    - - - Updated - - -

    Guess what those government workers (ya know, police,firemen, teachers etc.) Do with their paychecks?

    They SPEND them...and that creates demand and that generates more jobs.

    No but it's time we threw the Disney execs Facebook etc. who decided that they are going to break US labor law in jail for a long time. Too many of these scum assume 'worst case we have to pay a fine'. They do not at all think the laws apply to them personally. It needs to be known that worst case you go to a federal prison and get raped on a daily basis. It would be so easy to convict these scumbags of conspiracy, just think of the paper trail that exists on Disney's or Facebooks e-mail servers alone as they brainstormed about how to get around H1B restrictions, but the DOJ won't do anything to the protected elite.

    Think of how much better the world would be if Zuckerberg's daily prison rape was streamed into every boardroom. They would stop breaking the law then.

    I've known many teachers and professors (I went to grad school). The ones that are in their 60's and 70's say there has been a slow and steady progression of students becoming increasingly spoiled with unrealistic expectations over the last 40 or 50 years. It started in the 1960's and has just become gradually worse every year since then.

    Who is to blame for that? I don't know. Maybe we all are.

    In the meantime,their salaries are wholly funded by taxpayers.
    The government workforce should be about 1/3 what it is.
    That would make everybody richer.

    Actually, there's a case to be made against wasting human resources. There are many beneficial things that can be done for society that are not particularly profitable. It is really only the insistence on hard money that makes it difficult to fund such positions adequately.

    With the number of highly educated people we have in this country right now, there is no real need to have shortages of teachers, postal workers, firemen, police, doctors, and emergency EMS workers, not to mention homecare and practical nurses in our nursing homes. Many people with mental problems would be better off if the had more services available as well, not to mention in-home services to assist parents with poor parenting skills.

    We could have a utopia...but people don't want inflation. We get inflation anyway. What we are also getting is the deterioration of work ethic and skills of millions of potential workers that have been shut out of the job market so that the money of others retains a higher value. I'm not even certain we would get more inflation, because more would be working, paying taxes, and helping to keep bigger social problems from developing--even in the private sector, where some systems lost track of just who owned which mortgages. We have plenty of work that needs to be done...but the idea that cost cutting is always beneficial has led to a blatant waste of worker potential.

    If you replace the names for generations with racial slurs this thread gets really dark. Should watch it with the sweeping generalizations. You're talking about millions of people. Billions if you're talking outside America too.

    It's beyond lazy slackards with this generation, it's fragile little greenhouse flowers afraid to go out and make their way in this world and thinking the world owes them something. A puff of hot air and they melt, snowflake is perfect description.

    Some truth to that. It's kind of a pattern in a very successful society that was hard fought for in the beginning to have every generation a bit softer than the last. The snowflakes have reached bottom though and I can't imagine what their kids will devolve too. I hope for a pendulum swing when their kids rebel against their wimpy ways.

    And who are you to decide how much money anyone needs? Just out of curiosity how much should someone be allowed to have and who police's that and who gets the so called excess money and why?

    I was against bank bailouts but I can see the too big to fail argument side. Forgiving college debts is vote buying and what's next, forgive mortgages? You take a loan out its your responsibility to pay it back

    Poor little snowflake made a decision to borrow money for an education and now can't buy the car or house he wants until he pays the loan back. Welcome to adult life snowflake.
