I think it's great that Americans have jobs but it would be nice if average Americans didn't have to work two jobs to get one decent living wage.
He was dour. Irascible. Tempestuous. He rarely smiled.
.
He rose to power by joining an existent right-wing political party.
.
His speeches and writings were incoherent ramblings.
.
Most everyone, even some in his inner circle questioned his mental state.They made him their leader.
.
Before long, he remade that political party in his own image.
.
It was nationalistic. Disrespectful of societal norms, regularly skirting the law. Racist. Sexist. Xenophobic. Belligerent. Constantly threatening their neighbors.
.
The party merged interests with religious leaders, captains of industry, like-minded media moguls. They all fawned over him and asked their followers to join with them for the “good of the nation.” Most did.
.
The party gave him unprecedented control. It became HIS party. Because no one dared stand up to him.
.
His followers adored him because he told them what they yearned to hear. And the economy was good, so why rock the boat?
.
The few party members who did criticize his policies were called unpatriotic, disloyal, even traitors. Some left the party rather than suffer the indignity of the cult-like wave that had swept over them.
.
He called upon his followers to do harm to those who dared oppose him.
.
And even THEN, the party remained silent. Fear had a firm grip on them all.
.
But that was nearly a century ago, in a far off land. That could never happen here.

There's another side to that story that very few people ever look at. Fifty years ago a decent wage covered all of a person's "needs", since then the "needs" haven't increased too much while the "wants" are accounting for a consider amount of some people's purchases. Unfortunately the working poor don't get to buy too many "wants". Who REALLY needs a 70" T.V. Screen?

It's a no brainer! How many jobs for cash under the table are going to get reported to the Gov't.? If you are on E.I. for an extended period how are you supposed to live? If they find out you are earning $2 an hour on the side they will likely cut off your E.I.

Yup.............................
Godwin is reincarnated for a lot of people here in this forum............
Not everyone has a 70" tv.
That's a minor factor when the numbers of people needing to work more and have two or more jobs is increasing. Like I keep saying, average wages have stayed more or less stagnant (relative to increasing costs and the like) since the late 70s while production and profits have grown immensely.
We're in the same rat race we were in, in the 50s and it's amazing how many people haven't figured it out yet. Only an idiot keeps doing things the same way expecting improvement!
Except that is not really true . Did you have the expense of a cellphone , computer , second car , internet , etc , etc .
