Are Americans entitled to great paying factory jobs that require no education forever just because they were lucky enough to be in a position to capitalize from the post war economic boom for a 35 year period? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America has never had a shortage of poor people. Yet Liberals want to import more. Poverty and thus, dependence on the government, can be imported. Votes. They need votes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member BOHICA Posted December 9, 2019 Gold Member Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) “We answer these two questions and identify low-wage workers using the Census Bureau’s 2012-2016 American Community Survey 5-year Public Use Microdata Sample. The large sample size from five years of pooled data allows us to conduct relatively detailed analysis at the regional level: We profile low-wage workers at the national level and within 373 metropolitan areas. However, there is a trade-off with timeliness, and our data do not allow us to capture the most recent wage trends.” Edited December 9, 2019 by BOHICA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s overall comfortable, not considering things like homelessness by choice. True poverty exists elsewhere, and you racist liberals would rather piss glass than help anyone yourselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s correct left to their own devices most of them would just die in a gutter somewhere, and quickly. The fact they can live comfortably in “poverty” is a testament to capitalism 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anecdotes don't outweigh statistics. Millennials, which are basically all adults under 40, are broke, have no assets, rent their homes, and are trying to just survive in a climate of stagnant wages and rising prices.
