Westside Steve Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Don't know how many people have FB accounts but one of the common post is what was your first job and when? Most people will respond with their mid-teens and something like mowing lawns or babysitting or something like that. I'm guessing it won't be long before that question will sound funny. With teenage single parents being paid to squirt out kid after kid for profit (completely eliminating the need for a father in the home) with no one else working any kind of service job the answers will be more like... "No clue. I really haven't had one yet. And I don't plan to in the near future." I can't imagine that regardless of your hatred of any particular politician the lack of incentive to ever work is a positive thing for society in general. Of course normal it's what we are born into. Whether it's Buckingham Palace or Borneo. WSS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 very first job - caddyed at a ritzy golf club with my best friend. Needed money for the prom in hs. lol one time, I caddyed for the notorious arrogant twit dentist who was a crap golfer, hot tempered, and had every single club there is, in this big golf bag, along with a lot of stuff in his bag. AND his wife's bag. So, he would only pay for ONE caddy. It was my turn, so I carried both. At the ninth hole, there was this deep ravine with a creek, and he hit his ball into the creek. A sixth grader golfer could easily hit it over the ravine down the fairway, but this idiot used the wrong club. So, I walked over to the ravine edge, set the two bags upright off to the side, and went to climb down into the ravine. Mr. stupid went apecrap, getting near me and screaming that I was an idiot, that he was paying me to CARRY those bags, and to get down into the ravine and get his stupid golf ball, he didn't have all day. So, realizing the moron had no idea how heavy the bags were, who probably had a butler put them in the car for him .... He ranted, yelled and bitch and I got annoyed, smiled, and used a finger of each hand to tip over his upright golf bags, and walked away. there was this stunned silence, as I walked all the way back to the clubhouse. I had enough bucks for the prom, and figured I'd get fired. Instead, the crappy loudmouth rotten tipper dentist ungrateful sombeitch tipped me 20 bucks via the supervisor, after he came back - he had no choice but to carry his own bags from then on. But I quit, the supervisor asked me not to, and said that dentist was getting so bad the club was thinking to not let him renew his membership. But, we both quit, went fishing. Had a great time with our dates at the prom, dinner at a fancy Brown Derby I think it was, and ..er...talked a lot with them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Welfare: Temporary and Forever | Mises Institute https://mises.org/library/welfare-temporary-and-forever The legislation was significant because, for the first time since the advent of the Great Society, it set a five-year limit on the amount of time one could be eligible for welfare benefits. Although this was a maximum time period, individual states could set shorter limits if they so desired, and half of them did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually my point was more about paying people to do nothing, paying teenagers to have more kids endless unemployment checks Etc. Sure we've had ADC for a while you can pretty well look back and see when welfare had started to split up the nuclear family. But why work if you don't have to? Think about it if restaurants can't get anyone to work there regardless of what they pay or do you think those people who would normally be doing our jobs are?

Axe Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 My first job was working in the family fields.. Then I picked Strawberries at a friend's family 800 acre nursery. My first so called real job was with Winn-Dixie (southern grocery chain) when I was still barely a teenager. I was there every day bugging them for a job. I guess they finally thought "might as well hire the kid" He's here all the time anyhow".. The problem was, I didn't have a Social Security card. So they couldn't pay me until I did. In those days you applied for your card via snail mail. It took 6 weeks or so. They couldn't believe I kept coming back and working for 6 weeks while waiting for my SS card. When it finally came in. I received 6 paychecks between $33 and $39 each. I thought I was Daddy fuckin Warbucks.. 😂 Right now, at one of my businesses I have a kid about my age when this happened who is working his very first job.. I didn't know this until his grand dad posted it on FB.. I've known his grand dad for 40 yrs or so. Dude was valedictorian of his graduating class and Gregg Allman's personal manager for quite a few yrs... His grandfather brings him every day before sunrise and again at sunset to empty the trash cans into the dumpster and clean the lot. 5 days a week.. I pay him $100 cash(times have changed 😫) and I vividly remember the first time I paid the young man he asked me,,, "Is there anything I can improve on".......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
