All I know and care about is what are the opportunities to be had for those losing jobs or starting out.
What I see are minimum wage or slightly higher jobs replacing decent good paying jobs. The employers know that jobs are now a commodity and are doing whatever they want (forcing people to work ot, not giving benefits, etc. there is no protection for employees anymore),
So the reality is that people who made $15, 20+ an hour are making much, much less. So unless, jobs start paying more (which then causes inflation) this country will continue a downward spiral.
Employers need to be held accountable, government needs to help those losing decent paying jobs to find wages similar.
I grew up believing if a man worked 40 hours and lived within his means, he should be able to save and live a normal standard of living life.... that is not the case in this country any longer. Too much greed from the top and politicians and too few in the middle left to fight.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
