So lots of jobs are screwed up and done horribly because people can't get fired is what your saying. So Trump has made things worse. If your candidate is losing, it's because you didn't put enough flags on your truck. |

Full employment is making things worse? Some logic there. Who is John Galt? |

Bob's the one who said people not doing their jobs well weren't getting fired. I just highlighted if that's the case, things aren't better. If your candidate is losing, it's because you didn't put enough flags on your truck. |

Yes, because your anecdotal evidence is clearly the way things are everywhere in the country, regardless of statistics to the contrary. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

My wife and brother in law retired in 2017 from different companies. Both had jobs of responsibility. This year they were both called by their former bosses begging them to return for at least 20 hours a week. They can't find qualified people to replace them, they get trained and quit. Neither accepted the offer. Full employment of the workforce is a bitch when all the qualified people have good jobs. You can try selling that it was oh so much better under Obama, but we were there, it sucked. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

They're doing their jobs, it's just the company turns a blind eye to small infractions that used to count against them, It's just too hard to get good switchers. They back up loaded trailers all day, some truck drivers can't back up at all, it's an art. In the Trump economy there is a huge shortage of semi drivers. Companies are begging for qualified people. If you have a CDL, you can get a good job tomorrow. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Please remember this in the POTUS debates when the Dems dig up some poor sap claiming to take dog medicine because they cannot afford things. Who is John Galt? |

It means things are so good that there are not enough people to replace them. Would you rather have the record lpow unemployment we have now or the 7% average and 10% peak we had under most of Obama? Who is John Galt? |

I always believe that. Anecdotal evidence should be used in a "for example look here" context, to support the facts, not a "this anecdote is the way things are despite factual evidence to the contrary" "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

This is the dumbest thing I've ever read lol So let's say somebody robs your house and steals YOUR money. Then the robber uses YOUR money to buy toys for his kids. Then you track him down and demand YOUR money back. His kids then have to return their toys and give you back YOUR money. Only a dumbass would say that the payback was "paid for" by the robber's kids. 🙄 |
