Really…I’m gonna have to look into this Bc when he mentioned it for my continual sinus infections I specifically asked. I did however take him at his word being a family doctor.
Ya’ll gotta stop with this narrative that people don’t want to work anymore and wanna be on gov’t assistance. The real issue is no one want’s to work for 12 an hr anymore. You can’t live off that.
I remember being in school they made you feel like it was college or bust. Total disregard for the trades. Also totally left out the fact that you need a college degree that matters if you go.
It’s weird a lot of the most common side effects seem counter intuitive to what the medicine is supposed to treat. I only checked Mayo Clinic so far, but that just seems odd. I wish it had more of a statistical break down instead of more or less common.
Respectfully, I'm going to have to disagree with you. I met many, MANY people on the golf course in the last 2 years who were turning down high paying good jobs because of the government handouts. One guy I'll never forget was an aerospace engineer, I said man I can get you a job easy. (I'm in manufacturing) he said nah, with the government handouts and my 401k, I don't think I need to go back to work until at least January (this was like July 2020).
I 100% believe student loans are predatory and should be OUTLAWED. Lets see what happens to tuition prices when you can't screw the 18yr olds over financially and stack them with $100k in loans.
Yeah student loans are the biggest racket in the world. A doctor on twitter wrote that he took out a 50k student loan. Over 10 years, he has paid $47,000 back…..he still owes them $51,000
The problem with your statement is you can’t extrapolate what’s happening around you to the rest of the country. If you’re 70 and want to retire then retire. Not being able to pass a business down shouldn’t stop you from being able to retire.
i was going off what my GF said, it might be wrong. sorry for the scare, I just thought it was weird that it is considered asthma meds and you got it prescribed at the same time. almost like the doctors have some kind of incentive to sell it.
Definitely odd Bc it seemed like my doctor was like doing his own thing and then you say the same for something similar but different. Super weird. But lots of the sides seem like stuff people with sinus issues get so that’s odd.
I don’t disagree with any of the sentiments about employers wanting to pay too little for too much credential in general, but respectfully, I didn’t push anything like the words you’re putting in my mouth.
I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one
I worked through the entire “shutdown” and we were furloughed one day a week. Those that chose to take a “leave of absence” to help the company save money were getting $1100 a week through unemployment. Those who stayed like my self, we were getting that every two weeks. Its what drove me to other avenues of making money
Yeah in our state the cut was $30/hr. Meaning that if you made $30/hr or less prior to the lockdowns and covid unemployment bennies then you were likely making more money not working. Those people who made more than $30 / hour would collect less on unemployment but.... lets say you were someone who made $35/hr and unemployment bennies covered $30? for a lot of those people taking a $5/hr pay cut to short term retire was worth it. they didn't have to commute anymore and we saw massive cuts in a lot of daily expenses like insurance etc anyways for a while.
Sheesh, I remember when the company cut the leave of absence short, those who took it were livid. Cause like you said, they made more just sitting at home.
it was a tough time. At first, personally, there was this sense of relief that our business was "essential" (what a joke of a term) and I didn't have to stress over losing my job or anything. And the commute dropped from 90 minutes to 30 cause there was no traffic during the lockdowns. But over time as social/political tensions grew with BLM, CHAZ (out here/Seattle), etc etc then people started arguing about those people who were getting raises to stay home while others worked through the pandemic.
Chad move
c'mon man...i remember not so long ago that you took whatever job you could get and looked for a better job....ANY job was better than NO job!!!
yeah I knew several cats with master degrees who drove buses. Difference is, the gov’t wasn’t giving out the handouts they are now. But lets be honest here, if you spent years in college for a master degree, then couldnt find work in your field, would you flip burgers or sack groceries, or would you take the money the gov’t was giving you until you found the work you was looking for? Especially since it was the gov’t fault you couldn’t find work in the first place?
If people stop doing trade work, we would all be F’d
if you are smart enough to get a masters degree you would think you would pick a field that pays more than $13 a hour--c'mon man you are playing strawman here-get fucking real. i mean there are people going to college who shouldn't be and getting bullshyt degrees that aren't going to pay the kind of money to pay back student loans and they this--the problem i see is the people giving the loans know this too--the government needs to get it's head out of it's ass...a auto mechanic or plumber is going to make a hellava lot more than a social worker--and trade schools and apprenticeships pays you while you are learning--instead of telling EVERYONE they need to go to college the government should be directing people towards careers in the trades.
i kinda think we are on the same page here...
It's not a narrative that people don't want to work and be on gov't assistance. Plenty of people would rather be on gov't assistance than work. That is a fact. If you don't want to work for 12/hr. than sharpen your job skills. It's pretty simple. And I don't want to hear a damn thing when people have to pay $50 for a fast food meal because employers are paying their hamburger flippers $25/hr. It's economics plain and simple! Far too many people think if CEO's didn't make so much money that all of the sudden then employees could make so much more money...........it doesn't work like that at all.
Exactly- he's spouting bullshit about people have to change with the times when you can make money from home instead of manual labor!! Such a load of ****- I mean that people that can make money from home- good for them- however the world still needs mechanics, plumbers, carpenters, etc. When young people turn down other types of employment because they want to be lazy and make money from home or doing something easy is when I get pissed off. They think they are "entitled" to make easy money instead of working for it! Some as every damn college athlete these days- they all think they are going pro and are going to make big $$$. The fact is 99% of them will ever play professional sports but they feel they are entitled to being paid now!!
My brain starts thinking how many kids get that degree in a field that does not hold high value, feel they were promised to be upper class or elite, and feel it’s demeaning to accept anything that is not prestigious in their eyes.
i mean who the fucking hell gives a kid a loan to get a degree to work as a social worker who's starting pay is on average $33, 000?
You obviously missed the fucking point of what I was saying. People worked for 12/hr because the economy was so fucked thats all they could get even with their master degrees. You obviously have zero clue how business works. Price doesn’t increase because you pay worker’s more, price increases because of supply increase.
I really have to push back on the first two points. Prices increase if the cost of the good or service increases, if the demand rises greater than the current supply due to greater number of customers with issues obtaining enough scarce material, etc.
I agree with everything you said. My main point I was trying to drive home was that increasing frontline employee pay does not automatically equal a rise in the price of things. Also I appreciate you not saying im spouting “bullshit” just cause you disagree with what im saying.
Oh yea absolutely agree it’s much more complex than that.
i think that for many industries you are right--but where we will see a immediate increase in price of products is unfortunately the industries that pay the least like fast food, retail and service industries--one way or another we WILL foot the bill for the low pay in those industries either by higher prices or higher taxes to pay for government assistance for those working people under poverty level...
^Great points all around
Very good points
You could get paid up to 5 days if you were previously scheduled to work all five days. I neglected to mention that at my employer anyway (not the case with others), a negative rapid test is required at day 6 to be able to return to work.…symptomatic or not. I haven’t spoken to enough people who went through this yet, but I don’t think a negative rapid test at day 6 is all that probable. So if the rapid is still positive, you aren’t tested again with a rapid until day 11. In such case, I believe they are still required to pay you for all the shifts you were scheduled for during that timeframe under “quarantine pay.”

Thank you for the appreciation and kind words!
- When one of Germany's largest insurers won't cover 'vaccine damage due to ordered mass vaccinations', you know there's a problem.
Banks, insurers, and the stock market aren't in the business of losing money, and they know what's up.
Yes, I do feel like the narrative is shifting quickly now with various countries dropping requirements and people quickly moving away from the "you need the booster" mentality. Suddenly everyone is "acting" normal as cases spike, at least from what I'm seeing. However the market is getting hammered across the board, LGB is prepping us for war, and we have zero business/economy minded individuals in DC now. Maybe if he fucks up the country enough we can get Trump back. Love him or hate him, he was great for the economy and I think we are may be headed into a recession.
I think it falls back to 2016 all over again. I like Desantis and even Abbot just fine, I like Rand Paul even more. But in my mind and how I see them, they're just politicians. I still think back to everything Trump accomplished, without war, the peace deals, the renegotiated trade deals all over the world, the booming economy, the factories that relocated to the states, etc etc and I just don't think we've seen a better president in this lifetime. Not even sure I "like" him, but I don't really care because the results were fantastic.
My thoughts exactly! Too many people focused on him swing somewhat of a jerk instead of looking at the results! I’m just not sure in 3 more years he will even want to run. He will be up there in age as well in 2024 so that has to be taken into consideration although time might “mellow out” his personality a bit.
trump was the also the 1st republican to not back down when called a racist--up until then all democrats had to do was call a republican a racist and they would tuck their tail and run like a scared dog---trump taught republicans to stand their ground---THIS IS EXACTLY WHY DEMOCRATS HATE TRUMP.
I don't disagree, I just don't want to deal with the 'reeeee' for another 4 years, my ears can't take that high pitched whine.
I absolutely love the man, and I think he was the best thing Americans in our lifetime have ever seen step foot in the capital. Some people - particularly his corrupt counterparts wouldn’t stand for him breaking up and exposing their little world. Just look at how he was treated by Nancy Pelosi! Evil people don’t like individuals that devote themselves to changing things for the better.
Indeed! On another note…
