    There is a widespread movement that doesn’t want to be responsible and stay clean, get out of bed and go to work on a daily basis. Just an observation.

    I know I’ll get blasted for this but I see it all the time, locally.

    I think it's that way for a lot of people that are just lazy, but there are others with almost zero skills except for spreading their legs and sweeping a floor........I had one of those in my house for the last two months. wouldn't even apply for one of the hundreds of jobs in my city because it would cause her to lose her paltry 750 a month in her disability payment.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    When you say that the job you (the employer) are offering, it seems implicit (?) that you are refering to low-skilled work like: manual labour; menial, repetitive work like flipping burgers at McDonalds, being a cleaner or a janitor, working in a factory, picking fruit on a farm.


    These jobs don't require a high IQ. So, if your have an IQ of say 85, you could be quite content doing these kind of jobs. Remember also that there is a need for this kind of work to be done. It's important that it is done.


    What's happened in America is that everyone has been brainwashed by the lie that they can do anything. They can become a NASA rocket scientist, they can become a medical doctor, they can become a billionaire Big Tech Baron like Bill Gates, they can become a Supreme Court Justice. THEY HAVE THE POTENTIAL to become whatever they desire to become.



    WRONG !!




    These kind of jobs require AS A MINIMUM, a very high IQ.




    The standard white-collar, middle - class jobs below the above like: government bureaucrat; mid-level manager in a Corporation, teacher, owner of a successful small business, pharmacist, police-officer, registered nurse, etc; would demand an IQ of say, 100 points at least.




    Bear in mind, that your IQ : your ability to solve complex problems, your capacity for abstract thought, you ability to think rationally and logically, your ability to plan, your time-management skills, and so on ARE MAINLY GENETICALLY DETERMINED AND BY THE TIME YOU ARE AN ADULT THEY DO NOT CHANGE. That means whatever your IQ is now, Walt, that what it will always be (Until you get old and start to go senile like "Blo-Hole" Joe).




    Now because, take African Americans, for example, are told OVER and OVER and OVER by American schools that they can do anything - that they are equal in all measures to Whitey, they think when they do not get the grades at school they need to go on to college and get a high-flying job that it is due to "systememic racism". But here's the hard truth.



    The Average African American IQ = 85 points; and I'm sorry to say that is low. What it means is that the standard, randon Black person in America has an IQ of about 85. A small percentage have high IQs. Having an IQ of 85 points means that you are suited to doing the kind of low-skilled jobs I listed at the top of this post, But because they have been told that they are too good to be working in these kind of job, they refuse to do do them, and go on welfare and sit on their ass all day or join BLM and smash up the high street because, you know, "I'm a victim of Slavery, man" and "It's all Whitey's fault because he's a racist and he rigged the f*cking system against us Blacks. It's Whitey fault that I can't get a job flying 747 jets, or lecturing at Harvard.




    So there one answer to your question about low-skilled jobs. You wont read it anywhere else in America, because IT IS TOTALLY FORBIDDEN to utter, despite the fact that it is TRUE.

    A bad one. when a casino opened in Detroit, those terrible people lined up for several city blocks looking for jobs. Without childcare and open schools, lots of people cannot work. people want to work.

    Exactly.

    The xenophobes on the right spew their hatevomit about illegals using taxpayer funded services, while totally ignoring the fact that they fill a vital role by doing jobs Amercians will not do for any amount of pay.

    Those people aren’t “terrible” (your word) if they are trying to get a job. It’s the lazy ones who’d rather try to survive on whatever government gives them so they won’t have to get out of bed and go to work. Too many of them where I live.

    We are not supposed to discuss that. Have you noticed, like I have, that the Reichwingers have stopped crying about the border? Looks like they got new ̶m̶a̶r̶c̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶o̶r̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ talking points from their masters.

    I don’t know, maybe I’m just viewing this through the eyes of an old person.

    Its the same all over. IMO it isnt a demographic thing besides being 18- 40. It is people of all races and backgrounds. They literally feel entitled to live off the work of others. Its sickening. They sell out never having a future or much of a life just so they dont have to work. Pathetic.

    Are these rural ppl, suburban, urban? How are they getting by, still living with parents? Are there good paying jobs for the unskilled or barely-skilled folks?

    Rural. Some live with parents. Some get by on what the government will give them.

    There are jobs. Unskilled mostly. You have to pass a drug test and show up to work. One of my friends (a former student) has a construction company with Highway jobs across the state. He can’t keep enough people hired to complete his projects like he wants to. He’s always having to pull someone off of one job to use them on another. He said he’ll hire someone and they’ll show up for a week or two then the next thing you know they quit showing up.

    We have had 2 job openings at the school where I teach for paraprofessionals. Again, the applicant has to pass a drug test and show up to do the job. We are on our third person for one of those positions and on the second for the other … since August.

    Both jobs pay a decent wage for the cost of living here. The construction company pays well, IMO.
