Many people are “employed,” but in reality, they've just found something since they lost their jobs when the job market recently went downhill, and that barely supports their needs. Perhaps why so many people are behind on their mortgage, car payments, student loans, etc. The math is not adding up.
Can you imagine your rent tied to your job the same way healthcare already is?
Big companies start buying up apartment buildings left and right and hand employees a place to live as a benefit.
Suddenly Tommy and Jaylen aren’t picking jobs based on salary or title… they’re choosing companies based on who’ll put a roof over their heads.
“Yeah, I’m taking the offer; they cover rent.”
Healthcare was the first thing they locked to employment.
Housing might be next 😂
Probably the best relationship advice I ever got/heard wasn’t about communication or love languages. It was:
“Don’t keep score.”
Almost everything gets easier when you stop tracking who did what.
Well… not really. It's not just data centers; all major construction- hospitals, stadiums. Only senior veterans with 15-20+ years of experience can earn that kind of money, and they have to put in 70-80+ hours a week. I personally asked someone this week who worked at top electric company unions—staples of McDean and Rosendin. The answer was, and I am quoting, “If you're a veteran with experience, you could be making decent money. For instance, for the new Commanders stadium, they will need a lot of electricians. There is also a new contract where foremen can make $7K a week if they are willing to work 70-80 hours a week.” btw you can literally Google or AI search that kind of stuff.
That's definitely not true. In the beginning, most people are still trying to impress or perform for the other person. People give their best when they are truly committed/bought in and because they WANT to and FEEL the need to do it, because it feels right for THEM, not anyone else. Most men would agree with me. Also, that's why the only way a female really gets a man is when HE feels ready for it. Also, a man will treat a woman differently at different stages as he learns to connect with himself and the partner too. That CAN'T happen at the beginning. This whole beginning sounds like fantasies in books/movies.
I don’t think the official job numbers reflects the overall reality of average Americans.
Here is the interesting part.
Most people see right through them. They know the real economy doesn’t match the rosy stats. Yet they stay quiet and let the poll and data creators keep pushing the misleading info. But one side has stopped playing along. They’re not buying it, and they’re not making noise about it either.
So what’s actually happening here? Who are poll and data creators lying to and misleading? And what happens when the quiet side finally speaks on Election Day?

@davefischer4040@QJ21248872@washingtonpost Just keep being a decent human and fight to maintain your humanity. Don't let the current climate and this hateful rhetoric chip away at your empathy and decency. Stay blessed 🤝.
I'm not just suggesting we treat SAs differently; it's a fact. My main point is that if they face persecution in their countries, we open our hearts and provide shelter. Haitians under TPS didn't come here through economic programs. Still, they were granted legal permission by the previous admin via a Humanitarian Parole & assylum program due to gang violence in Haiti.
We can always fact-check claims that SAs are being hunted down and compare the data to Haiti’s humanitarian crisis, which caused the previous administration to implement a Humanitarian Parole program. I agree with you. They have legitimate asylum claims.
Here are some facts:
- His parents came here LEGALLY five years ago through a Humanitarian Parole program put in place by the Biden administration due to widespread gang-related insecurity and instability in Haiti.
- His parents later brought him to the US approximately 3 years after they arrived so they could be reunited. Both of his parents worked very hard- often doing jobs that others would not do so they could save money, pay taxes, and contribute to the Springfield economy.
- The current administration ended the Humanitarian Parole program, essentially illegalizing non-criminal families.
- He had to wear a GPS ankle monitor when he played soccer for his school or went to class, all of this while he was a talented athlete for his school and one of the top students. This was not about not wanting to go back, but about trauma and humiliation. I dont know you personally, David, but I'm sure you genuinely care about our country and try to be a decent person. We can't normalize this hateful rhetoric that dehumanizes people and removes our humanity. This is not who WE are as a country or as Americans. The world looks up to us for a reason, and it's not for what we're doing now. Have a blessed day.
I don't think it was about him being upset about going back to Haiti.

This kid embodied what we teach our young boys in this country. I dont know you personally, but I think we can agree he would be the kind of kid you'd want in your community — or even want your kids to be friends with—top of his class, tens of academic awards, ROTC, top student-athlete.
We can have humane policies and remain Americans with the highest moral values. We can't let hate and triviality push us to be unrecognizable. The world looks or looked up to us for a reason and it's NOT because of hate and triviality.
Maybe the real question we should be asking is: how do two people who have worked tirelessly for five years in this country—doing any job they can find—create a future for their child? I worry that many Americans are falling for the illusion some are selling—these hard-working people are stealing from us. My suspicion is as long people like you feel others are lesser than them, they’re willing to accept mistreatment, lies, and theft from their leaders. At its core, this attitude is rooted in hate, not policy. This family and their child embody what those in power preach: we want the best of the best—those willing to work their hardest for the American Dream. Meanwhile, white South Africans are being handed relocation/resettlement packages/handouts.
Calling each other names won't help. We can still have reform and apply the law in ways that make sense. We can't lose our humanity in the process. We can all agree this is a kid we would all have been proud to have in our community. Fantastic student and student-athlete. https://t.co/1lCUFh5vk9
Pierre Damas Bel was a brilliant student, honors graduate, soccer player, and aspiring doctor. This isn't just about TPS; it’s about unnecessary cruelty and dehumanization. He was forced to wear an ankle monitor like a criminal while walking to class everyday and trying to play soccer his school. In his own words on Instagram:
“I came to this country to pursue my education. I didn’t come here to commit a crime or hurt anyone. Yet now I’m walking through the streets of the United States with a GPS monitor on my leg, carrying a feeling of shame and humiliation that I never imagined I would experience. I came here to study, to build my future, and to live a better life—not to be treated like a criminal. So now, how am I supposed to play college sports with a GPS monitor on my leg?” https://t.co/1lCUFh4XuB
