Yeap. Just got back from rural TN. Poor people are everywhere getting handouts. shhhhhhh, i dont need anymore florida shitheads moving to tennessee, north carolina is where you wanna go fed up floridians, its wonderful . We are seriously considering it in about 5-6 more years. TN doesn't have state taxes which is appealing. Might have a place built and up there and keep our place in Clearwater. Airbnb one of them depending on what time of year it is.

I assure you I can outwork most. White privilege my ass. I grew up in the hood. My parents busted their ass to provide for us when I was growing up. We didn't have much money and I wanted a better life for myself. I started working when I was 13 and have worked my entire life. I am talking about Gard not you. Gardawg was picking cotton when he was 4 years old. I'm the epitome of the American Dream. I grew up on a farm. Now tell me how easy life is on a farm. I'm successful in spite of being disabled since I was ten years old. Yeah, it slowed me down but it sure as hell didn't stop me. So FO you bunch of lard bellied slackers.. Y'all are just jealous

Saying that Americans do not want to work is pretty fucking stupid. Why work in the heat when you can work at McDonalds for $15 HR? Then don't bitch about not being able to afford a house if Part-Time at McD's is your idea of a job. Most younger folks feel that they are worth $100k and are willing to give you $25k worth of work as long as it is when they want. What do you think this "work from home" stuff is? Some bust their ass to finish early and go play. Others aren't reachable and wonder why you need to coordinate with them. The trend is back to the office, lower pay and no advancements for work from home folks. I tend to agree with that.

Nobody that is paying their employees and treating them well has any problem attracting and keeping help. We can retain them, it is just getting decent folks to come thru the doors.

Anyone in the construction or manual labor field knows how hard it is to find good workers. From what I've seen in 30+yrs in buisness is Americans are getting soft. Hispanics are working circles around the younger guys.

I work just fine with Millenials, and the ones I work with work their asses off. YMMV

I blame the parents in a lot of cases. Once I was 18 there was no longer a free ride. When you have no choice but to work you will work.

I was once poor, so I know this tuff. If you add up all the expenses of working and maintaining a household you may be surprised how much money it takes. There are many households that rely on assistance even with all abled body people working. It is hard to get ahead if you are barely making it. There is no money to invest . It would be hard to get a business loan. But there is opportunity out there if people would put in some extra effort. Of course , they are in a situation where it takes a lot to replace what one would lose in assistance if they tried to better themselves.

Housing plays a key role, owning a house and getting equity for securing other types of loans. Some places are still very hard for non white people to secure housing, and folks think redlining is a thing of the past.

Affordable homes and fixer-uppers are snatched up by landlords and real estate connected people. Didn't use to be this much of a problem.
