So, Where Is All The Money Coming From?

[Road Runner]

So many places are so short staffed and people not on SSI still refuse to work. So how are people able to take care of their basic needs? Especially since gas has sky rocketed? Is the government still handing out free money or what?

Most of the people who dropped out of the workforce were either of retirement age or whose spouse had a job.

Makes sense, but I know that plenty of young people don't want to work either.

Do you work or do you work on doing nothing?

It's okay, I don't mind sharing, but thank you. I personally would love to have a job, but it's a lot of red tape involved having disabilities so first of all I need to find a place to assess me and stuff to find out what I could do.

Underground economy. There are lots of legitimate ways to make money and a good side hustle helps to keep a chicken in the pot.

Will you ever shut your fucking mouth?








A big fat NO.

At least I know how to read as I explained why I don't already in post seven. Choosing not to work and not being able to work are two entirely different things. Oh and I at least have friends and family so I'm a lot more good for something than you are and you certainly can't hurt my feelings.

Awwww.................. You're going to have to be a bit tougher, or a lot smarter, to get her goat. You're a beginner.

But you are on the government dole?

But you are on the government dole?

If you mean social security income then yes. Or for the time being at least.

And I receive a monthly check from the VA for my late husband's service connected disability. So fucking what?

People are working harder than ever. Saying young people don't want to work is wrong. They do work.

If you are able to type on this forum you are able to hold a job. But it might not pay as well as your SSI so I guess that is out.

One thing to remember, there has never been this many 25+ people still living with their parent(s). There are still staggering #s of 30 somethings sill living at home.

Actually I heard this on the news awhile back,,,, I found this though - this is the first time since the great depression that the MAJORITY of 20 somethings still live with their parents.

A majority of young adults in the U.S. live with their parents for the first time since the Great Depression

The share of 18- to 29-year-olds living with their parents has become a majority since U.S. coronavirus cases began spreading early this year.
