Thread regarding State Farm Insurance layoffs

U.S. Government Shutdown - (Now) the 2nd Longest in U.S. history. Soon to be 1st. What it is (Truly) about.

The Trump Tax bill -

What things are (truly) about.

Should (never) have been passed.

Which provided $600.0+ Billion in Tax savings to the wealthy over a 10-year period.

The (Interest alone) paid on the $38.0+ Trillion (and rising) U.S. National debt by U.S. taxpayers is (currently) $963.0 Billion a year (almost a Trillion a year).

The Trump Tax bill (alone) will increase the U.S. National debt by (another) $3.74 Trillion (minimum) over a 10-year period.

While taking away Medicare subsidies from the lower income, and the poor; who (actually) need them to help with healthcare costs.

While taking away Medicare subsidies from rural hospitals that (actually) need them to stay in operation for their respective communities.

There is (no) negotiating.

The Medicare subsidies (need) to be restored, or the U.S. government remains shutdown until the Trump party agrees.

@dv thought this string was supposed to be about State Farm. You are suffering from a serious case of TDS!
You need to look at that disaster called the Biden administration and its record high inflation that was thrust upon this country... Get on topic and keep your politics for the MSNBC crowd.

@dd. Although in practice I agree, but in reality it would have devastating effects on our society. If 38 million people re-entered the workforce the supply of labor would go up and that would drive wages down. Especially if there are not enough jobs to go around. Since around 1972 worker productivity has gone up almost 250% while pay went up around 115%. If you look at it from a supply of labor perspective, this is when women and minorities entered the workforce in larger numbers. Within a decade the supply of labor almost doubled in the United State which had devastating effects on the growth of wages. If there are more workers than jobs, then the companies paying the money are in control. Not saying minorities and women should have the same opportunity as everyone else but I'm just educating people on what happens from an economic point of view when the supply of labor increases. Basic supply and demand. Much the same debate as we have about off shoring jobs, importing labor through VISAs and the flow of 20-30 million illegals across the border. All this drivers down wages for America workers. Also, LULAC tried to do a study about this to disprove the fact that illegals are a drain on the system but admitted it stopped the study because the numbers they found were worse than the Bureau of Labor statistics. The reality of it 80% of all illegals, not matter where they come from, are on some type of government assistance within 3 years of entering the country even if they have a job. So many people are choosing not to work because for so many there is no benefit for them to especially if they are low skilled and low wage. In the next 5-7 years , with AI, we will see about 15-20% unemployment and the entire system is going to break and it will usher in an area of total and complete communism. The biggest always falls the hardest. SF and the US have a lot in common!

Let us not forget the socialist manifesto.

"From each by his ability, to each by his need"

This isn't only about money. It is also about working. "From each by his ability " means if you can work, you MUST work.

Unfortunately, 38 percent of able bodied adults do not participate in the labor force. It would be AMAZING what could be accomplished if only the unemployed able bodied adults would get a job .

You use of medicare when you mean medicaid shows you general ignorance of the important issues involved. Your opinion is uninformed and completely discounted.
