Take an economics course. Learn about structural unemployment. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 20/11/2011 11:50:40 PM
When you have available jobs and no means for people to get to them, it's functionally the same as not having available jobs. I know it's easy for you to think "OH LOOK PEOPLE WANT TO HIRE," but markets don't work that way. Sorry.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

I think people were jeering OWS for not being "focused" because there are so many damn problems beetnemesis - 20/11/2011 04:54:24 PM 1045 Views
Largely true, in many respects; again, the Tea Party had much the same problem for the same reasons. Joel - 22/11/2011 12:26:29 AM 1113 Views
It is WEIRD when Ron Paul consistently comes off as the least insane GOP candidate beetnemesis - 22/11/2011 02:56:33 AM 922 Views

Wait...you think there is a problem with courts treating corporations as persons? Tom - 20/11/2011 08:33:43 PM 932 Views
You know what he meant. Legolas - 20/11/2011 09:32:59 PM 1001 Views
You're talking about the Supreme Court case Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission. Tom - 20/11/2011 10:38:43 PM 867 Views
Pretty sure the inception of corporations was not 1886. Joel - 22/11/2011 05:45:31 AM 971 Views
You do realize... Urza - 22/11/2011 06:01:47 AM 912 Views
Almost anything CAN happen. Joel - 22/11/2011 07:43:31 AM 982 Views
Actually I think we should be prosecuting these people Urza - 22/11/2011 07:46:56 AM 922 Views
Well, this is a red letter day; I agree with nearly, perhaps ENTIRELY, all of what you said here. Joel - 22/11/2011 07:59:42 AM 940 Views
You're right. I will hand you your ass on this one. If you give me gloves before touching it. Tom - 23/11/2011 02:26:35 PM 988 Views
That looks a little shaky. Joel - 23/11/2011 05:42:39 PM 995 Views

The UN is clearly out of touch with reality. Tom - 20/11/2011 10:44:44 PM 980 Views
"There is no right to work"? Joel - 22/11/2011 05:50:30 AM 986 Views
That would be a legal right relating to unions not a basic human right. *NM* Urza - 22/11/2011 05:57:34 AM 543 Views
Right; there is a right to work when it suits you, and not when it does not. Joel - 22/11/2011 07:16:40 AM 890 Views
...do you know what "right-to-work" in those states entails? Ghavrel - 22/11/2011 07:55:02 AM 1022 Views
I would not pretend to be an authority on it, no, but broadly speaking, yes. Joel - 22/11/2011 08:12:50 AM 1020 Views
Also, do you even have a job yet? *NM* Urza - 22/11/2011 06:02:11 AM 524 Views
Ikke ennå. Joel - 22/11/2011 07:28:27 AM 1029 Views
A simple no would suffice. *NM* Urza - 22/11/2011 07:32:27 AM 576 Views
Well, that was little more than a simple no. Joel - 22/11/2011 07:57:11 AM 903 Views
So do you think there is no cause whatsoever for protest? Dan - 21/11/2011 03:31:04 AM 996 Views
Re: So do you think there is no cause whatsoever for protest? callandor1000 - 22/11/2011 04:15:30 AM 951 Views

Re: So do you think there is no cause whatsoever for protest? Dan - 22/11/2011 06:47:25 AM 1043 Views
I don't think the protest is about being people feeling entitled Helene - 22/11/2011 07:45:50 AM 1068 Views
