![Tell us more about how we're in this together [1080x1344 - 160KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/8UbiKN.jpg){kind=link}
We shouldn't be doing stimulus checks. Particularly when people only receive a small portion of the money that the government is taking to distribute back to them.
The government cannot give an individual anything they don't first take from someone else. In a lot of cases, they take 10x the amount from an individual and give a tiny portion back. All the while blowing the other funds on slush items and foreign interests.
I don't know enough about these specific individual's the picture is implying about. However, a lot of successful business people that have worked hard to afford nice things for themselves and their families say the same things.
When government gives out "free" cash, it incentivitizes people to sit on their ass and not look for work. There are a lot of businesses that cannot effectively staff because people have been dependant on the "free gibs government tit". Some people like to argue, "Well for what I pay in taxes I'll take anything they give me".
The thing is a lot of folks don't sit back and actually calculate the long term ramifications. People are co-signing with a government that has taken far more from them then they will get back in return. Not to mention if they have young children, what that means for their futures as well.
There are legitimate people who have legitimately lost their jobs and are currently out of work in certain fields. I understand that. There is also other options out there for addressing those concerns instead of just throwing money at a vast majority of Americans, a lot of whom haven't lost the ability to work or produce.
have you tried looking for work?
no one is hiring
the state has effectivity closed down 75% of commerce with the mask laws
instead of stimulus, they need to let businesses be open
I guess the real question would be what type of work an individual would be looking to find. There are lots of places hiring, maybe just not the line of work someone feels their education level or experience level warrants.
However, if you got mouths to feed, there is plenty of menial work available. Go to any McDonald's and I guarantee you will find a job. There are even trade jobs who can't retain employees and offer on the job training.
For example I am good friends with a man that owns his own HVAC company. They have more work than they can handle and not enough people to work. He has stated that he would take someone on and offer them the training and education to meet their needs.
I know contractors, they are busier than ever and have the same problem. More work available than they can take on.
Lumber yards and mills, hiring like crazy right now. Shit there is a farm and ranch store in my community and they are hiring and offer retirement, health benefits and above minimum wage for pay. The state wage where I am is much higher than the federal minimum as well.
There is a few examples. The thing is, people feel it's beneath them or that it's not what they want to do. It doesn't mean it's not possible to find work or make a living right now.
I for one would do just about anything to support my family regardless what would happen with my employment. Its not the government's job to provide for me or them. Its my responsibility.
I do however feel that it is also not the government's job to pull the bullshit they have been doing, particularly in Dem controlled states. It has created a shit storm of problems and it's very unfortunate.
Edit: if to of.
Only work available is hard labor in which you have to wear a mask while doing it
Hard labor is already tough on you
Wearing a mask while doing it is being a slave
A slave revolt is what is going to happen if they keep this shit up
Fuck this bullshit you are spreading about boomer contractors not being able to find help. Back when I didn’t have work, but was looking, it actually became a game to me talking up contractors out in town and leading them right into their usual bullshit story about how they couldn’t find help, kids don’t wanna work anymore, nobody wants to learn a trade. Every single one would spout that bullshit, and every single time I called them out on it by saying I’d be happy to work for them. Then I’d watch the horshit business owners squeak and squirm their way out of what they just said.
There are legitimate people who have legitimately lost their jobs and are currently out of work in certain fields. I understand that. There is also other options out there for addressing those concerns instead of just throwing money at a vast majority of Americans, a lot of whom haven't lost the ability to work or produce.
Yes and the Government also owes compensation to each and every business that's gone under, and every worker who can't work because of ridiculous mandates over the holocough hoax.
These stimulus packages aren't aimed at businesses that have gone under though.
Also, if there was a process that made sense for identifying the specific individual's who have been effected that would be one thing. However, they are literally just giving money to people who haven't been effected and who have been making money just fine during the bullshit that they have going on.
Early on they offered the PPP loans for use helping companies with payroll and a small percentage was able to be used towards certain expenses. However, business owners rarely meet the financial thresholds for the stimulus' they have been offering.
Instead they skim a shit ton of money from individuals returning a menial amount for compensation. Meanwhile they use the rest as slush for funding a variety of bullshit.
Damn, all disappointed there isn’t a large enough slave pool to be able to kick the worker that stands up for their rights to the curb. Do you know what I say about business owners? Fuck them. It’s a risk they take on and it’s not my responsibility to feel sad for them that they can’t find a satisfactory nigger to work for them.
Its ironic that the same view you have is also a major driving factor in people going into business for themselves in the first place.
Running a business is a risk, you are correct about that. At the same time, it usually takes starting at the bottom to realize if it's not what someone wants out of their life/career.
I think there is a measurable difference though between a business that doesn't succeed due to their own shortcomings and the government squeezing the life out it while simultaneously trampling on the rights of the people.
There are a lot of people who think they can probably do something like run a successful company that in reality probably can't. Thank God there is a system in place that would still allow them to earn a wage to support themselves and others though.
At the same time, props to anyone who takes a risk whether they succeed or fail, at least they faced that risk and took the chance.
The experiences I've had in my life have taught me a lot about who I am and what I wanted to do with my life. Had I not started in a less than desirable situation, I would not have been driven to where I am today.
Who knows what the future holds for any of us, people face misfortune daily at the drop of a hat. I try not to relish in other people's misfortune as it's very likely one day, I could find myself facing those same challenges.
Its all to easy for people to want to rip each other down these days, especially on the internet.
I’m not ripping people down, nor celebrating failure. I simply don’t feel as if I should feel sorry for them, nor responsible. I’ve seen multiple small business owners fail, yet they never seem to personally sink. However, I’ve seen multitudes of working class people promptly fired by their employers sink to the point of suicide. Yes, that’s a good reason for going into business for yourself, but not everyone has the means or ability to do it.
