@MatthewMey20297@QuintusCurtius Even by the early 00s it was getting hard to do house painting and day labor, because of immigration, legal and illegal. Legal immigrants often hire illegals, seen it more than once. Only reason me and my friends got hired, is that we knew someone.
@Joshuad4045@AndyLe1845910@oneforeds c'mon dude this is basic common sense. if you've lost that, then go read Deuteronomy 22:5 again

@LibertyJen This is why women weren't allowed to vote. You're good looking with a make-work job (ladycop), you've never had to exist in the real world or had to say anything that made sense for men to listen
@TheCAThomas@promptborzai yeah. I'm from the 3rd world and worked in FnB, most of my whole family too at one time or another, in both the 1st and 3rd. Americans aren't supposed to have to do this, in order to save money. It shows huge problems in the economy.

@icpolicy@MithrasSoldier Former restaurant manager and chef, this is just stupid. The USA is the richest most tech advanced country in the world, it's citizens shouldn't have to make staple food from scratch just to get by. They never did when I was growing up, neither did my family (poor immigrants).
@shadetreeisback@CureKaczynski@revenant_MMXX in the States, $80 thats about the price the shop charges plus they handle all of the other stuff. This'll be one of the first automated services at dealerships, so half that, soon.
young men should learn all of this, from brake jobs to replacing sealing gaskets
@CureKaczynski@revenant_MMXX it is, compared to getting it on the lift at the garage, and all of the other small services included at the same time, vacuum , tires, windows etc
@icpolicy@pulyus@MithrasSoldier Even the retarded spenders could afford houses and cars, in the past. I have some in my family.
You know what, when I have time I'll take your OP and see how me my buddies in fnb can make this work, these kids will need to learn how to feed themselves, when things get worse.
@DianaVilliers1@swissch33z lady, by the 60s the youngest boomers were already driving THEMSELVES to McDonalds .
there's a retail appliance salesman in Utah who ate Big Macs and fries for lunch, every single work day, for forty years after returning from Vietnam.
@DianaVilliers1 lol where's that historical anti-suffragete poster warning that says once women enter political life, debates will go on and on endlessly
@pulyus@icpolicy@MithrasSoldier the gif says 'entitled to nothing' - you and all other actual-Americans are in fact entitled to a certain high standard of living, it's one of the reasons that Americans can participate in civil society.
Don't let politicians and bankers steal it from you.
@icpolicy@pulyus@MithrasSoldier I can afford whatever, but it's the regular working families and young people starting their lives who can't afford it and so many other things, not like when I was growing up. Things have gotten worse, it needs to be fixed
That's the unstated point that a lot of people missed.
@scottndricks@jbolty@ToddNidasqM@beerandtokens The US basically has to disconnect from cheap labor over in Asia, and to a lesser extent, Mexico.... which they will do now that bunker fuel is too expensive, and robots getting cheaper and better every day.
@Computron200000@GodThatLimps People in Germany, London, Taiwan Singapore & Japan they eat in affordable cafeterias every day of the week, I've seen it myself. Rich countries w high CoL and wages
