Indeed, and that's exactly what has happened. America has become the land of the part time job. People work multiple crap jobs just to make ends meet...
I make 20% of what I did 5 years ago, and you consider me too picky? Again let me restate, there is a difference between unemployed, and underemployed. You call it wanting to maintain a lifestyle, like we are all just so mad we cant drive around in our corvettes and live like playboys anymore. What if that 'lifestyle' was feeding your children, instead of owning a corvette? Or owning your own home, instead of renting an appt? How about helping support your retired parents? There are plenty of non-selfish reasons to want to 'maintain a lifestyle' you are use to. Its easy to act/feel superior when you have a good job. Hey, you worked your butt off and was only unemployed 3 weeks, and found a good job. Lucky you. Sure, I completely agree you worked to find that job, and good for you. But dont preach like everyone has the same opportunities you do/did.
This is not an upraor. In fact, for the thunderdome, this is a surprisingly civil discussion. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif
Yep, and all that will do is increase that dreaded gap between the haves and the have nots. Everyone is arguing over a few percentage points of taxes... hell id be willing to pay more taxes if I wasn't barely scraping by just to put food in my mouth. Get the economy flowing, and the tax problem would solve itself.
Have you been reading what we've been saying....clearly not, I have worked hard physical exhausting labor. Feel dead by the end and sleep like a fkng LOG. I think you're the one who has never worked this job. I'd trade you jobs straight up if I could keep my pay no joke. I love working outdoors too summer/winter whatever.
No stress makes for a boring life man....one day you'll understand a little stress is healthy, this shiz isn't it's truely soul draining. Not saying it's the worst job in the world, just saying I'd prefer to be working hard using my body and mind, I use neither here, its like watching TV all day everyday do it for 8 hrs all day every day and see how empty you start feeling while doing it. I feel a lot more alive being tired/exhausted physically.
