Good on this 12 year old. SHE actually gets the seriousness of this situation when many adults don't.

And the absolute no chance of a Republican telling the truth.

Yes, 400 billion Toomey "claims" will be spent as a slush fund for anything and everything. Except that's not true. Any extra moneys STILL would have to be agreed upon - spending wise - by Congress itself, not individual parties. So it's not like the R's won't have a say if extra money goes to...

Most relocation now is province to province. Or maybe that just seems to be the theme around here. My brother went from PEI to NB, to NS, back to NB in less than 10ish years and honestly I don't think it did that much for him. Thankfully he and his wife both work, but they're still not exactly...

So what was unrelated spending attached to it that was objectionable to the Senate R's but not House ones?

I'd never be good in trades because I'm one of those 'maths challenged' types. It's not hard for young families? Are you KIDDING me? It's HELLISHLY hard. Even in the 80's it was hard; I was 7 when we moved from NB to NFLD and the next three years there was hell for me, my brother, my mom...

I don't know the reason why they were opposed? You assume that... why? Republicans who were okay with it before it went to the house changed their vote. Why? Because they "fear" the Dems will take a change made in the House to shift money from discretionary to mandatory means the Dems have an...

There is a shortage of workers in that the people who can work, aren't, in the positions they're applying for. No, but I think I heard about it. Not everyone wants to do a trade, regardless of the push from people to go into them. Which is where a lot of "Experience needed" jobs I've read...

Biggest reason? Experience. MANY jobs now require experience regardless of education to work in the position. Most up and comers/recent grads don't have the experience, so they don't get the jobs. That's at least the biggest reason I've read about. Which brings out the "But how do we get...

The opening sentence for one. ANYONE who starts off insulting people is not worth the paper or pen they're writing with. First paragraph in general is a whine fest about how people used their terms yet they passive/aggressively say they're 'dealing' with it. Second paragraph - more whining...

Who said anything about "French Lit" education? These are people who took training to work in apparently 'demanding employment areas' or whatever you want to call it. Or have you not read any stories about any of it and just assume the education someone is getting is 'worthless'?

I found it hilarious that the entire article is about someone whining that their 'inferiors' are using 'their words' in ways they don't want. "Snowflake Battalions" indeed. And this person is the General.

Not yet.

Say what you want about Jon, he at least stands up for the right causes. https://www.businessinsider.com/41-gop-senators-block-healthcare-bill-for-veterans-exposed-to-toxins-2022-7 https://kfor.com/news/gop-senators-block-bill-expanding-care-for-veterans-exposed-to-toxins/ So much for the...

You realize people DO get a better education and STILL can't get 'better paying jobs'? Or have you been missing all the reports coming out about this issue? As for working more hours, there are people who work 2 and 3 jobs just to stay afloat, unless you want to squeeze more hours into the...

Not ignoring; if it's skyrocketing, then there's not much in the news about it. *shrug* so... sure, okay, how much and where's the data? They have been, yes. That's an odd left field comment. True, they don't. Obviously not if I just agreed to the above. Aannnddd..... that's where this...

Not talking Canada so that comment is moot.

I'm sure the usual "But this state does this for restrictions" will come in at some point, where it's forgotten that while 1 state may do one thing, others do SFA which means no state might as well do a damned thing in the end. Hence why a total national push/policy needs to be made. But logic...

No, but then cars are regulated to have things to help prevent theft, and developers are allowed to do things to protect cars from being stolen. Stealing food should not be a crime per-say, IMO, but that's a whole other issue that can have it's own thread. Banks have vaults, security guards...
