Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

Wow, did folks see the new jobless numbers?

 

[0nelilreb]

I’ll do it if the price is right. Problem is that companies don’t want to increase wages that attract Americans, so they resort to foreigners who have less opportunities and can pay them less as a result.

The price will be right . The real problem is / was , Americans that live around those jobs don’t want to do them . That was before this virus .. let’s watch and see what happens now .

I heard something about 6 million. Is that total since the outbreak or was that just for last week?

Last week alone, 6.6 million claims. Trump told us we'd get tired of winning. I just didn't know I'd get this tired of winning.

So sad

We’ll never get anywhere until we accept that both parties are corrupt and not acting in the interests of it’s citizens.

Exactly, everyone is agenda driven and our politicians are all controlled by outside interest groups. It's beyond disgusting

Trump: 'We're Not Going to Have Farms' Without H-2A Foreign Workers

So much for that “Make America Great Again” rhetoric. He’s advocating for foreigners to work in America when the unemployment rate skyrocketed.

Americans won't do that work.

Some people forget just how big Texas really is .

And many others have never known it to begin with.

Other than a relative passing, it was up there. Luckily for now they can keep working part time

Keep their health insurance too. Right now that could be the best thing.

If you do the math, you'll see how sparse Texas is for population density.
Besides Texans 'ain't skeerd of no da' gum China virus'.

No, they just want to tax and regulate you out of existence.

BTW have I ever told you how I feel about Texas?

Just last week, 6.65 million Americans filed for unemployment benefits per The Wall Street Journal. That is staggering.

It's not trivial at all. Can you imagine a senior year of high school without a prom? That will become the reality for a lot of these kids in a few weeks. It's a real shame.

It's a shame, but at least they don't have to worry about getting on a ship for 3 weeks and then running into German machine gun fire.

When's the last time you saw an American picking crops? And now with the extra $600 of UE you damn sure aren't going to see the low wage unemployed lift a finger.

You can drive from california to tennessee and if you do it in 3 days, you could spend 2 nights in Texas.

You're doing it wrong if you do.

How much are you willing to pay for a head of lettuce?

They are Visa workers.

Yep, cheap labor is amazing depending on who you are. Just ask Boeing.

I’ll pay more if it puts American workers first.

 

[Sandman 423]

That’s not wrong, though. Metro area population is what everyone with common sense uses; “city proper” population makes Jacksonville and Memphis bigger than Atlanta, which is dumb

Then why didn't he apply the same metric to both cities. He gave Greater Tokyo numbers but Seoul proper numbers. Are you implying that he was being dishonest or that he is a dumb-a$$ ?

Ok then. Sounds like a good time for you to start a placement agency.
