Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Although I sound altruistic I didn't mean they were exploiting the "lesser" humans, they're exploiting the programs and using them in a more covert way to their own benefit. Walmart encourages people to use programs who will then turn around and use them where? Buying their shitty stuff in their shitty stores. Walmart is a shithole now, with strange people inside that don't pay with their own money. It wasn't a shithole 10 years ago. The only ones that aren't shitholes are in rural areas and small towns.
Do fast food workers really need $15/hr to fug up my drive thru orders?

Percentage wise, far, far less than even 20 years ago and dollar wise, inflation factored in, they're actually earning about 6% less today than they did 20 years ago.
There are more people with college degrees doing jobs that were considered "blue collar" than ever. Meanwhile, those without the diplomas are finding less and less jobs with any type of a future and forget trying to find a job once you're over 45, gods help you if you get laid off from a job you've held for more than 10 years. Even if you can find another job in the same field you're going to take a huge pay cut because there's plenty of college grads who are willing to live with mom and dad and do the job for slave wages -- meanwhile you've got a mortgage, medical bills and maybe a kid still living with you.
Manufacturing keeps moving overseas so all the suits in the boardroom are seeing record profits because now they don't have to pay a living wage to their employees. Heck, they don't even have to provide a safe work environment or humane working conditions.
You're married to a doctor and you have a career, you have little to worry about, relatively speaking. I have chronic pain and haven't worked in two years, can't find a job that I'm qualified to do now, am married to a man whose been with the same company for 39 years, is about to turn 60 and has a "blue collar" physical job. We can't afford LTC insurance so if he gets hurt on the job we're basically fucked, he'd do better to get killed outright. We have no family, our house won't be paid off until 2030, his pension was frozen and we can't afford to pay into his 401K. I really do hope I die within the next 15 years, seriously. One major health crisis for either of us, cancer, bad auto accident, whatever, we'll be destroyed.
This is not where I expected to be 10 years ago. One layoff, a few costly health problems, kids that needed financial help, a couple of major required home repairs and now we're completely in the weeds.
I have 1 part timer detailer right now, just recently hired him. It's his second job and he works late afternoons evenings for extra money. He approached us for the job and we could use the additional help so we hired him.
We don't currently offer a health plan. We lost our group policy last year when we bought my uncle out, but my are currently working on getting it set back up.
Everyone participates in the 401k and we match up to 5%.

So all you really need is to fire or make full - time that one guy, and Institute a Barry - compliant health care plan and you'll be Cindy - approved!
Cindy wants you to implement a zero - deductible plan tho.

Yeah, a deductible it a lot more vicious. You should do a zeolro-dedectsble plan!

an iPhone would've autocorrected that for you so you didn't look stupid.

Yeah, but I still wouldn't be a mean - spirited person who denied my employees the basic essentials for life.
What do you think they'd prefer? A good auto correct or the ability to survive a catastrophic life event?

A while back I had a choice between a $500 deductible with 80% coverage and a $2000 deductible with 100% coverage, I went with the second one because I'm paranoid. When hub had his medical issue we got a $52,000 hospital bill, I was so happy to pay $2000 and have insurance eat the rest!

Co-pays are typicallly.measly amounts -- 10 to 50 dollars collected at the pint of service. Deductibles are 10x to 50x that.

You really should have kept your employees' health insurance...
Plunk didn't know the difference because he balls so hard he just pays anything and everything, he even goes to specialists without PCP referral, real talk!

I'm glad I live in Canada...
I never graduated from University (though I did from college...we have both here)and at 22 went into the work force making $1000-$3000 a week as a medical research recruiter. They hired without experience and trained me.
I did that for 8 yrs, then I got a great job at the largest Valve co in the world without a purchasing or college degree. They gave me a shot based on my persistence and sent me to school to get my Purchasing cert.
It's not about education for certain jobs, it's about how bad you can kick ass. The richest people in the world have little to no schooling. Education doesn't make you smart and people with high IQ's are often borderline sociopaths or have Asperger syndrome, so you don't have to have a high IQ to make money. You just have to want to make money really bad

Minimum wage in the town I live in is essentially $15/hour. I saw a sing at McDonald's the other day saying $100/shift bonus.
Saw the other day it is the fastest income growing area in the nation and the average AVERAGE per capita annual income is $85k/year.
People need to be mobile. There is a whole new world of manufacturing sweeping the United States. If you are not degreed and not moving to where the oil fields are, you are truly your worst enemy. Home is where the paycheck is.
