I wonder if the minimum wage workers at Godfather's Pizza think Cain is "pro-worker"

    He has a job due to Herman Cain and has the CHOICE whether or not to work for him.

    LOL!! They repealed that law, and if people actually followed it then they wouldn't be in the current state of overpopulation that they are now.

    It'd be mathematically impossible. If everyone only had one kid at the maximum in their lives, you'd have a population decline over time.

    Not having enough jobs to go around is CAUSED by having too many people floating around who need jobs. Are YOU that ignorant?

    The only marketable skills someone would have graduating a U.S. highschool, are skills that were somehow acquired...somewhere else than highschool.

    Knowing basic math and the 50 states doesn't mean jack (*)(*)(*)(*).

    Even to be a truck driver you have to go to school to learn skills

    No there are lots of marketable skills you can learn in high school, like showing up and being productive just to start. Then there is the ablitly to communicate both orally and the written word, computer skills, accounting skills you can even study vocational courses and yes even perform math and last I looked they still teach calculus in high school. But it is the start and if a person fails to take advantage of that does society own them anything to make their life any easier?

    You learn skills along with basic knowledge but if you do have basic knowledge that is marketable.

    As an example

    http://www.gischools.org/schools/highschool/courseguide/

    Lots and lots of marketable skills being taught.

    They repealed it less than a year ago. Before that point, the average birth rate in China was 1.5. Roughlty speaking, ZPG is at 2.1, so China should be in the process of shringin.

    Only if life expectancy remained constant. That didn't occur in China. Life expectancy is increasing.


    Hmm, so that's the reason for unemployment? So I guess since Obama's been in office, we've had that much extra population growth?

    Are you serious?


    Population isnt' the problem. It's the fact that demand is low, and everybody's scared of the future.

    Has nothing to do with population. There isn't a fixed number of jobs out there, and suddenly we have more population.

    Population growth increases jobs.

    Hmm, funny, my bosses' daughters learned enough in high school to get decent entry level jobs with the Southern company. They got those skills at their high school.

    They do not learn enough skills to support a family. With 9% unemployment and an economy in the crapper they need higher education

    The fact is they are willing to train her because the skills will not be enough for her to grow with the company

    Yes you can learn enough marketable skills in college to raise a family, millions do it everyday.

    I don't have a college degree and I am in the top 10% of income earners. I have been in business management, production management and sales for almost 40 years.

    If you believe your education and training stops when you leave school you have a lot to learn.

    That is the point 40 years ago you did not need college today it is much harder. I never went to college but I did got to truck driving school 17 years ago. I am now in my late 50's.

    My son works at Wal Mart and is going to college on line

    To some extent, but only as much as scarce resources will allow. Again, if you have 1,000 square miles with a certain number of buildings (restaurants, apartments, factories etc.), and an additional 1,000 square miles for farmland, there's only so many people you can shove in that area before droves of homeless, jobless people start running amuck..then dying.

    That's the way it works, period. No debate about that

    I quit in my sophomore year because I was working and making money and getting promotions. I was a biology major and had no idea what I wanted to do in biology the rest of my life. Everything else I learned in college was a waste. I went back to night schools on occasion to take specific courses for work and benefited from those but was never towards getting a degree. I learned business and manufacturing and production hands on. Even now if I had to do it again I would take some hydraulics and PLC and electronics training and work on robots. I advise a lot of my kids friends to think about it. I sell to manufacturing and see the demand for people qualified in robotics.

    He turned the company around and saved their jobs, didn't he? Or were you under the mistaken impression that the starting salary at a pizza joint is $1 million a year?

    You show you needed school to advance your career. High school diploma is no longer enough. When I was 40 I had to go to school to become a truck driver

    The grocery clerks are willing to strike in CA because they have to pay $9 a week for health insurance. What jerks. They could train chimps to stock shelves. I hope they fire them all.
