It used to be that people made their own way by farming, making things and selling them, or selling services to others on their own. I can't imagine that people can't still do this. People still need good mechanics. In Florida, we are in desperate need of people to take care of old people. I'm sure there are many other jobs people can do on their own without working for a company or the government.

Why can they not find people to work in nursing homes/care for old people? Wages. And what economic forces/trends drive wages down.

That is also a sweeping generalization to say people expect the government to employ them. The infrastructure in Florida is quite diffrent than other areas of the U.S.

This reminded me of a time I saw a cop writing tickets while me and my ex were about to have lunch at a Quizno's in OH. In front of the buildings they have a bunch of diagonal lines, which are obviously not big enough for a car, and FIRE LINE painted in front. Then, there are normal spots a few few back. People ALWAYS park diagonally over two spots (although some don't even bother to fake thinking it's a spot). My ex walked up to her and said she's his hero for writing those tickets. She said if she has to park in a normal spot they should have to too. It's a pity people don't have common sense and courtesy about these things, so I don't feel bad for them at all when they get ticketed.

25.00 is cheap next 42.00 in Montreal and if you do not pay in time it goes up to 92.00.
