he can't link it, because he knows it doesn't exist...he was lying and knew he was lying when he made the stupid claim.....and now he starts shouting other nonsense to avoid being called out for a link....he hopes everyone will just drop it and forget he never provided any proof of his assertions.Can you post a link to the leftist "port policies"? I've never seen them.
Ports were almost empty through most of 2020 but nobody expects you to know that. The port of LA alone saw a 30%+ decline from 2019 to 2020.
MAGA.

Ahh you mean like in the 1950s till 1980s .Under employed as in now a one earner family.
Ideal if you can afford it without receiving benefits.a one earner family is ideal for children. Also, for welfare benefits BOTH parents are required to meet the work requirements of any benefits program.
As in one low income worker in a family that previously had twoAhh you mean like in the 1950s till 1980s .
You know when half the population was lazy..
you can't receive benefits if you aren't working, or if you weren't fired from your job. how many times do you need that lie called out?Ideal if you can afford it without receiving benefits.
As in one low income worker in a family that previously had two
as we see, they aren't receiving benefits....there was no increase in families receiving benefits...in fact, there was a drop in number....yet, there was a huge increase in single earner households.Ideal if you can afford it without receiving benefits.
John must be young. Minimum wage was $1.50 when I was a kid.Yeah. Like was common in the 1950s and is not common now. See, back then we had way more jobs that paid well enough to actually support a family on one income. My uncle walked out of high school into a factory job, supported his family and sent his kids to college on that single income. Tell a teenager today that they should try and do the same and they will laugh at you for being so old and out of touch.
We see all these articles talking about how those darn millenials are not having nearly as many kids as their parents and grandparents, now that millenials are in their 30s. And 10,000 other articles about "millenials are killing the X industry." It's because they can't afford these things. And every idiot boomer out there thinks it's all just because these darn kids are just lazier. The reality is that on average, the jobs pay less compared to real cost of living. Wages have struggled to keep pace with basic inflation for decades, but housing, healthcare, education? The really big ticket items in our lives? Way, way way outpacing inflation.
South Dakota Senator John Thune opined that we shouldn't raise the minimum wage to $15/hour because it would kill businesses. He added that when he was a kid he was making $6/hour at a restaurant. Adjusted for today, he was being paid $24/hour.
If an employer can't afford to pay an employee enough to live on, then s/he can't afford an employee. That's the market in action.Good question. And how much should an employer have to increase hourly wages before an important balance is entirely destroyed and the employer has been forced (in order to stay in business) to push substantial price increases onto the consumer (crushing the consumer, especially the poorer consumer). Then, the entire situation becomes untenable. Hit first and hardest are small businesses. Corporations have more leverage, assets, and a much bigger profit margin.
With unemployment you're right but there's many other programs.you can't receive benefits if you aren't working, or if you weren't fired from your job. how many times do you need that lie called out?
And government should stay out of that contract negotiation.If an employer can't afford to pay an employee enough to live on, then s/he can't afford an employee. That's the market in action.
Is killing an untenable small business. The market has no mercy for the weak. The unlivable minimum wage we have now artificially depresses wages.Could and is killing small businesses!
all of which have work requirements. you've been shown this by about 20 people in this thread. Why do you think you can continue getting away with lying?With unemployment you're right but there's many other programs.
you keep repeating a proven lie, and I and others keep pointing it out. You can run away if you like, but I'll continue pointing out the lie when you post it.That said I think its time to pull the plug on you as you don't seem capable of civil debate and conversation.
A drop in number yes. Some returned to work. We need everyone who had a job before the shutdown to return to work but with all the government programs available it makes more financial sense for some to stay home.as we see, they aren't receiving benefits....there was no increase in families receiving benefits...in fact, there was a drop in number....yet, there was a huge increase in single earner households.
why do you keep lying after having the lie pointed out? Nobody who left their employment is getting govn't benefits. If you voluntarily leave your job, you do not qualify for UE. Seriously, why do you keep lying?A drop in number yes. Some returned to work. We need everyone who had a job before the shutdown to return to work but with all the government programs available it makes more financial sense for some to stay home.
How do you know? Maybe it's one middle wage owner and one lower wage earner.As in one low income worker in a family that previously had two
First off you said "dude" one too many times so I just can't take you serious .How do you know? Maybe it's one middle wage owner and one lower wage earner.
Or one excellent wage earner and one lower..
Or two higher wage earners..
Or any combination thereof.
First you said it was employed people not going back to work because now they can live on the government dole.
But it was pointed out that the extra unemployment ended and if they refuse to return to work..they lose unemployment.
Then you said but they learned to use the government welfare while not working.
But the data shows that if they were working and became unemployed and made more money than when working ( your claim)..they wouldn't qualify for welfare..
And it was pointed out that during this pandemic the welfare rolls declined per the data.
And then you said it was underemployed..
But then that means they are working..
And then you claimed that those underemployed are actually unemployed spouses.
And now you want to assume that they are all low wage?
Dude..all the data indicates that the people not going back to work are retirees..who realize that it's not worth working.
Households were one spouse works low wage and realized after the costs of gas ..childcare etc..work doesn't pay and they can get by on one salary.
Or people that worked one full time job and then another part time job and now they realize they don't need the part time job.
Wait.. I just realized who that is. That's my wife a licensed healthcare professional who works in a hospital and used to do some home health as well part time as the home health begged her to help. But now with covid..if she gets exposed to covid in home health she has to quarantine away from the hospital until she tests negative.
So she gave up the home health position.
Dude..we are 1% ers. It ain't about government money.
Sorry dude..your premise doesn't fly.
In the real world nobody gets unemployment when they quit a job. People on unemployment only qualify for that as long as they are actively applying for jobs. If offered a job, they must take it or loose their unemployment benefits.Interesting to see some post saying raise wages, pay living wage.
If you have no job, the Government should not pay a person a living wage with unemployment tax dollars,
Sorry, a job paying X is better than no job. If you want to be paid Y, then look for the job that will pay Y.
Personally, those getting unemployment and other government benefits should have to do some public service hours. Maybe 20 hours public service and 20 hours looking for work.
Relax. The payments have stooped.- While I understand why the Government came up with the Covid relief money to help people out during the "shutdown". It is past time to stop the payments.
Ones old job is better than no job.
what was that wage adjusted to today's salary? I am betting the average house didn't cost $280,000 either, did it?John must be young. Minimum wage was $1.50 when I was a kid.
The world has changed and whining doesn't help. America was the only real industrialized country not devastated by WW2 and China was a third world country. We got a free ride for a couple of decades and expected things to stay the same. Europe and Japan rebuilt and industrialized and then China got in the game. We have a whole world of competition now which is why increasing taxes on US corporations and imposing unrealistic environmental laws on them is a dumb idea as are union contracts with rediculously lucrative retirement benefits.
oh and your memory must be fuzzy...min wage was never 1.50...in 67 it was 1.40 and in 68 it raised to 1.60...the average cost of a home....$2,390.John must be young. Minimum wage was $1.50 when I was a kid.

you are missing or intentionally leaving out the WORK REQUIREMENT....for BOTH PARENTS.First off you said "dude" one too many times so I just can't take you serious .
I've been pretty explicit and have covered several scenarios as you pointed out. All of which revolve around a base support from government.
Read the following in bold carefully "dude". LOL
"If you have a low income and need help with basic living expenses, you may qualify for government benefits to help cover food, housing, medical, and other costs. The federal government creates and gives money to states to run major assistance programs. Your state helps pay for some of these and may offer others too."
