Lief is correct.

Not always true:

I was surprised to learn this.

[LastVoter]

Huh, that's weird. Make sure to vote the bums out at the next election, hopefully their successors will do something about this.

This is Utah Lief, this kind of performance is expected.

If I have a drifter come before me wanting to build houses and I come to find he's held five jobs in the past year- that makes me suspicious of his reliability

Heck nowadays all the people who know how to build houses are not only unemployed but probably living under a bridge. 

Most home builders nowadays make a lot of money.

Not as much as 10 years ago... or especially 20-25 in South Florida

Yea, I'm guessing construction unions got destroyed during the housing crisis.

would you really use up the 1 dollar difference in gas by driving 10 more miles a day? Yeah some of it would go to gas but all of it.

Probably 80 cents of it.  Plus that's just 10 miles one way, 20 miles round trip.  That's an extra 100 miles a week.

What kind of car do you drive Bushie?

What contractor in their right mind will hire you given you leave jobs faster than I change heads on my toothbrush?

You don't just buy a new toothbrush whole?  I've never heard of 'changing heads' on a toothbrush.  Maybe on a 'shaver'...

An electric toothbrush.

Do people actually use those?  Sounds so 1950s!

I thought you were a lazy person, of course lazy people like me use them.

False dichotomy, there is of course no such thing as a "non-lazy" person.

I'm gonna have to think about this one, and come with a textbook exercise to demonstrate such a person. I have to agree that "non-lazy" would be an unnatural ideology, most likely held by a culturally oppressed American worker.

I think I may have struck a possible gold mine this evening.  My pastor and cousin, who also works at the Post Office during the week and has been there for nearly 8 years says that despite all the cutbacks that the Postal Service is hiring and not just for carriers, either.  He said they're hiring for clerks and other jobs within the Post Office environment.  He says the hiring process right now is much, much faster than the usual way.  He's not sure I would get the full benefits, but he said the pay would generally start in the high teens and it could very easily turn into full time, permanent employment with the USPS.

Excellent!!  Good man.  As I told you - the only way you will find reasonable employment is 1) through a community/family network, and 2) with a public or quasi-public employer.

Don't forget unionized private-sector employment opebo(for example UAW), but I believe this is not possible in his state.

My pastor cousin is going to ask his boss today or this week how I go about applying and what the process is.

Inks, I've picked out a couple of other places that I'm going to check into this week.  I haven't put in any applications, yet, but I've got places I'm going to at least check out.  None of which are call centers or sales or MLM's.

I haven't lost any weight since I've been here, and to be honest, i haven't exactly been trying, either.  I am eating whatever my mother fixes for dinner and it's not always perfectly healthy food.  I feel I owe it to her not to complain about what she fixes for dinner.

Make sure you join the APWU if you do get hired at the Postal Service.

Is it that hard to stand for 8 hours?

Wow - could only be said by someone who has never had to do it!

Lol Opebo. Just because you are a lazy does not mean everyone else is. I have to stand up at my job for 8 hours every single day.

A rare exception. One thing I noticed among Americans is that an unusually large percentage of them are not lazy(say 25-35%), and do not try to reduce unnecessary work at all, in other societies such behaviors are very abnormal.

If BushOK refuses to do anything of importance, he should at least take up drinking. I can't imagine how bored he gets just sitting around the house sober.

The life of the poor is one of unremitting torture, and those among them that manage to suffer it for decades without any escapism (such as drinking or suicide) are nothing short of marvels of heroism (or at least Stoicism).

Ask, and ye shall receive!

Direct TV has come and gone and now I am able to watch TV in my room.  I will be getting a little lunch in a bit and then getting outside and walking for 30 minutes again.  I may also take a little nap in a bit.  I've got nothing else to do today, so I can pretty much just relax.

[LastVoter]

If he weren't constantly posting on this forum and masturbating over his oh so hard life, maybe he would perhaps get off his a** and get a productive job and stop mooching off his parents....

Why would you wish such a horror on him?

[LastVoter]

This is proof that it needs to be a lot harder to get a home buying loan. A LOT harder. It appears the Obama admin is heading in the right direction by basically agreeing to eventually let Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac go under if needed.

The ideal solution is to abolish ALL forms of government aid for homeownership and replace them with a rent subsidy providing program based on income. Not just for poors like currently, it should be like Obamacare, you can get subsidies making up to $50k/year.

No, no and no. The government should build a variety of housing in different locations priced at various points for people with different income levels.

true irrational actors are rare. 

This is patently false. People make crazy decisions all the timme. You should get out more.

What may seem crazy to some can be rational to the actor.  If irrational actors actually made up a significant part of society, there'd be no point in pursuing education in economics or advertising.

Advertising exists in part because of irrational actors.

What's the last time you've seen Bushie?

[LastVoter]

I wish I could remember his reasoning behind that

He was probably just a racist?

This conclusion is probably a little too hard for Bushie to draw.

I hope all of these applications were to public sector jobs.

[LastVoter]

I hope all of these applications were to public sector jobs.

Yes, they were.  All 10 of them as the count stands now.

Best of luck to you, hopefully you'll get one in these hard times of austerity.

[LastVoter]

I haven't heard anything further from the job applications that I put in at Midnight Wednesday Morning, but I'm still holding out hope.  I'm going to try to fill out more applications later tonight and then look at the classified ads in this Sunday's newspaper to see what's new around town.

Have you sought out any of your personal connections at those vocations to put in a good word for you to their superiors?

[LastVoter]

Yes, a 6 hour day must be exhausting.

I am advocating a work week under 30 hours, yes it's exhausting.
