RE: A Texas Couple Tips Their Waitress With A Car!
Howdy again today sir galenkp! Yes, the news is very depressing and I don't know anything about your mainstream media down there but up here I'm sure you know their agendas. Gotta know who owns the companies so you can determin if it's worth watching or not.
I'd be the ultimate philanthropist. Mrs. J would have to keep me in check!
I am quite generous, but also value those who don't wait for handouts. I like proactivity, effort and ownership as a means to gain reward and so rather than handing someone some money I'd rather set up something that offers them sustainable income. Sort of like the "teach a man to fish" ethos.
Yeah me too, welfare doesn't work.
Seems more and more have their hand out these days though. Is it the same up there? What's unemployment like?
Well unemployment in Texas is almost unheard of because we're in such an economic boom and nationwide it's low, 3 something percent. But yes the entitlement mentality of the youth is just disgusting!
In real estate we talked to small business owners all the time and they all said the same thing..they couldn't find any young workers who wanted to work and none of them had a work ethic to begin with.
They DID expect to earn big wages just for showing up though. IF they showed up.
I think that entitlement is everywhere. It's a shame. Unemployment is low there...Ours is much higher, 8% or so. We have had a lot of manufacturing close down here which accounts for a lot of it. Not a good situation.
I'm sorry to hear that. Did alot of your companies move to China like ours did? Many of our are moving back though since this administration lowered corp taxes.
Yep, same happens here. Not this company though.
I'm a fan of Australian made and jobs for Australian's though, unashamedly, so I'm not keen on seeing China, or anyone else, come along and take them away. It's happening though.
That's sad, happening all over the world though, I know you know that, slave labor gives advantages.
