I realize the economy is on fire. Was curious how hard it is to find employees. Seems brutal for most industries to find even half way decent employees. Should do well for wages. We'll see if the end customer will absorb the probable higher prices.

How's the labor market? Assume tighter then ever?

How do you know it was attributable to the ACA that's been in full effect for several years now? My #'s I know cause as OC was implemented the deductibles ramped way up overnight (at implementation).

Is there last name Obama, by chance?

In our household, out of pocket post OC went up A LOT. Whenever I need to see a Dr or a specialist is a navigational nightmare regarding paperwork, and trying to figure out what my out of pocket might be. The people behind the desk at ANY healthcare company I talk to about it all say the same thing....what a shit show. Government "solutions"

"Feels" like things are topping out. Although that doesn't mean a crash is around the corner. Maybe we flatline-ish for 3-5 years.....which wouldn't be the end of the world.

Obamacare has made me (and other's I know) LESS likely to seek healthcare....due to the very high deductibles. Not surprisingly, their stated goal of saving money overall by NOT having people defer needed treatment has resulted in the opposite.

Bahahahahahaahahahahahahahah Does the F in F7Ben represent Fraudulent, or Fake?

Wait, there was no beating? No unlawful search? You MUST be lying!!!! Otherwise, you shoulda disrespected him a little....ie, treat him like you'd like to be treated if roles were reversed. Next time.

If Ben and Moto ever get this revolution started, assuming they can put down the beer and pot long enough for said revolution kickoff, big Jim's gonna have a new mission in life. He'll be their first recruit....and a real bad ass recruit.

I always try to be respectful to one's past/current life decisions that have no obvious negative impact on society. To each their own.....NOMFB (none of my fucking business). But than again, I'm no hardass like some on the internet.

Well it's kinda like the last supper....so to speak.

Digital heros.....

Either way.....they didn't live their lives as keyboard jockeys filled with misery, wishing nasty things on those who oppose their views, and generally living life through the eyes of an armchair QB. LOTS to be said for getting out the stands and on the field.......of life.

Ah, more epic irony. I just bought two pairs of made in USA shoes. And clothing is increasingly made in Can or the USA. I'm guessing you can't remotely say the same. And who again contributes more to the low wage movement, you or me?

I find the irony in your thinking EPIC. On one hand you'll complain about stagnate real wages for American's. On the other hand, you'll fully embrace a come one, come all policy in the US. I know you're like 1 credit away from a PhD in economics.....but flooding the unskilled labor market people for decades, as we've done, is gonna result in lower wage rates for said group. No charge for the free education.

Agree 110%. And of course that includes real border security, like most other developed and prosperous nations.

You missed the point by a country mile.

And you're different how? Oh yeah, you dispense your gospel on a 50 person website, in between Coors Light binges.

That was my point. The need to wear your fake compassion on your internet sleeve, in hopes of a virtual reach around, is pointless. Put up or shut up for fucks sake.

This place is like a sanctuary for the perpetually miserable with too much time on their hands.

Actually I was thinking you'd be a perpetual sponsor of the less fortunate. Open up your home, give them food, clothing, and shelter until they get on their feet. Nah, you pretend to give a fuck in hopes of a virtual reach around from your internet buddies. My kids have four paws.

I'm saying quit the fake compassion and concern. If you were compassionate your actions would tell the story, instead of your keystrokes.

Actually the crime was coming here illegally, and they doubled down by including their kid's. Lots of American's think like you......come one, come all. The reality is hard choices are necessary and we can't remotely accept every person living in a relative shithole.

Oh, hey there. You must taken some time away from here to launch Painter's Without Borders or some such shit.....given your concern for "the situation and conditions they are fleeing from"!!!!!
