had a few jobs but i mean either you got extremely lucky or idfk what but from interview to start took me 4 weeks interviewed got home hour later got a call that i start on X day even though i wanted to start the next day

while working at this place i got educated and became a Cna Then an Rn each step required 2 week's of no work side jobs i work usually from hire to start is 2 weeks even temp places i went to didn't have me start working to a week after so this only need a week to work is a dream ontop of all that your first paycheck is ussually nothing due to costs like uniform etc are taken out thats more so apparent on those who work limited hours/part time. Had a temp job for 3 days doing construction had to pay 85+75 for shoes got payed after taxes 185$ so i pocketed 25$'s

I think it's only the people who aren't ambitious enough to be successful are disagreeing with me


Or people have no desire to deal with you over generalizing something and pretending that it's equal for everyone, like you've done in similar discussions. Couldn't be that, it's clearly those lacking ambition that disagree. Uhuh. Clearly, the poor are lazy and stupid and you're the king. You like to pretend that your circumstances are everyone else's circumstances and it's far from the case.

I'd need to know more about the program. Is the job training provided? If its a rural area how are the people getting there? Its hard to go ten miles each way in the country with no car. Is volunteering set up or do they have to set it up themselves? How available is the volunteering? There was literally nowhere to volunteer in my home town. I like the idea of making these people work for benefits, but access is an issue I'd like to see more details on

With all the mongol hordes coming to take "their" jobs. You know, it is the Christian, landowning, white, heterosexual males who are oppressed the most now in America?

Seems like it could hurt a lot of people, especially children who will now have a much harder time concentrating in class from being so hungry.

As a principle it is sound, I would just put in special provisions for rural Americans....it isn't fair to make them follow the same regulations as us city folk without infrastructure and mass transit and private social service agencies.

Funny because in many communities illegal immigrants are taking jobs from blacks.

I've long been a proponent of a similar plan.

After forcing these individuals to either work part-time for twenty hours each week, enroll in a vocational program, or volunteer for a minimum of twenty-four hours per month, the numbers showed a significant drop from 12,000 enrollees to just over 2,500.


The liberal tears are palpable.
