I am sorry your government mandated $15 an hour is not low enough to keep YOU from posting.

People like this are why we are where we are. You STILL aren't really grasping what's going on here. This isn't some flash in the pan shite. This is a socially engineered hard turn left that has been in progress since the late 1960s.

So socially engineer and turn it back. There's still a lot more of us than there are of them. Throwing your hands up and letting them do what they want is how we got here in the first place. Conservatives need to stop checking out and disenfranchising themselves and get to work. The cucked out self defeat is strong in conservatives. No wonder our politicians are so spineless and useless.

The other half is being taxed to death by a bloated illegal government that openly hates them and wants the non-contributing half to take up arms and drop them. It’s going to be a long difficult road to take this country back.. if we ever do. The best thing I can think of is just trust in God, pay attention and care for your individual communities, and do the best you can.


We can salvage what we have (or had) through violence or a peaceful national divorce. I hope it’s a peaceful national divorce.

No, you can't. It's not even reasonable to suggest. National divorce is not going to be an option.

Dissolution is always an option... Probably won't be peaceful but things won't be peaceful either way we are headed at this point...

We don't have the foreign investment on our side ( at anyone who thinks the hippie movement was organic), and even more importantly, we don't have a mainstream media that will run cover for us no matter what.

So let me get this straight.

Right now they are, at least, working. Maybe overpaid (in the eyes of some) at 15 dollars an hour, but they are not sitting around, they are being "overpaid" to work at McDonalds.

Then because people believe that this is "paying too much" this should lead to "robots".

I ask, so what happens to the burger flippers?

The reply -

quote:

They will get on welfare like the rest of the moochers and watch daytime television while hard working Americans bust their asses to provide for them



Maybe I am missing something but I do not see how transitioning someone NOT from welfare to work but in the other direction can or should be looked upon as somehow a good thing.

And again, no more burger jobs, they WILL NOT code, not everyone can code, everyone knows that, what is the solution? Because you only seem to provide welfare as a solution - but what is an alternative that is to your satisfaction?

Part of the problem with "you people" is that you have complete disdain for people who actually work lower tier jobs that are essential to our economy.


No, we don’t.

People here constantly bitch about inflation then berate the shite out of any hourly employee that thinks they aren't being compensated enough.


No, we berate the shite out of them for thinking a minimum wage job should be a career and support them as such. Learn a different set of skills useful in the workforce and build your own network and establish your own brand. Lower tier is just that. Start lower and build your way up. No, that’s not being a manager for said fast food place making 16/hour instead of $10-13

We need to pray for our country.


Absolutely. I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet. I've seen the power of prayer. I've witnessed group prayer heal people. I've seen powerful deathbed conversions. Jesus Christ said that if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you will not go unrewarded.

My suggestion? Fast, Pray and do good works. Nothing fancy. Give alms to the poor. Give up that candy bar, and give the proceeds to the poor. Most every church has a poor box. If you're able, volunteer at a Soup Kitchen occasionally. A good start? During this Thanksgiving Season contribute canned goods to your church or neighborhood food drive.

My Church has partnered with a large grocery chain to make available to the poor boxes of groceries. Stuff for a Thanksgiving meal. A lot of Churches are doing that. Given a chance Americans are incredibly generous.

Offer the personal and monetary sacrifices to God on High for healing in your country. Hey, it's not like wearing sackcloth but God sees the heart and the intent. Engage in counter culture - do senseless acts of generosity, ruthless acts of kindness.

Better to light one candle, than curse the darkness.

Most important, pray for each other.

I would say be an adult. If making $15 an hour to flip burgers isn’t enough to get by, then learn a craft that pays more money. If you are unable or unwilling to learn, then flip your burgers.

Nobody lays awake at night concerned about me or my ability to make ends meet for my family. Nope. I have to shut the frick up, work my arse off, and figure things out

Secession is the only option. There is no political solution. There's no voting out of it.

Dissolution in this case means slaughter and internment camps for up to half the population. I'd rather vote and organize and train the next generation properly.

And here is where we pretend that 15 dollars an hour is something spectacular

You can barely live off of that full time

They actually acquire skills and leave an entry level job that was never supposed to support someone with a family... These jobs have never been career type jobs unless they show the skills for management...

So in your mind businesses owe it to the greater good to keep employees on and pay them more than the position is actually worth to their business?
