this chit-chatting thing is kinda fun. Reading those comment makes me think to have a good job, even though i don't have a job that i want, i'll just wait for the right time to have that opportunity.

Default Thinking of starting a blog

What would you folks find useful on one? I'd like mine to both rant and rave, but inspire and inform. What are your suggestions?

I prefer a job market where HR personnel feel the need to resort to pants thievery to retain motivated employees.

In my opinion, requiring a third world work ethic in a first world economy can be considered a public detriment; not a provision of the general welfare. It could be a simple matter of economics, division of labor, and specialization in a more complex and global political-economy.

This issue would get the merit it should deserve, in my opinion, if we had a Constitutional public defender. It would lower the transaction cost of a political process to any given consumer of Statism. While ignorance of the law is no excuse, any political-economy that is more complex will usually require specialization of labor in any given discipline (and sector of a given political-economy).

A public defender would have more immediate knowledge of Constitutional issues and could act in a more proactive manner as an agency of the State that can better ensure our privileges and immunities. Employment at will, is an area of the common law that could use some modernization.

This is a good short little interview from an unemployed real estate agent. Unfortunately what he is saying is all true.

Hey LVD, how yah doing, and yah it's bad and it's too bad that most people who are employed just don't get it.

Just last night I sent the "map" of unemployment to a friend who keeps telling me I can get a job and something must be wrong with me. So after they got a visual of what the unemployment picture is really like they started changing their tune a bit.

I'm really worried about this holiday season with so many just becoming 99ers and facing no income what so ever.

I am still getting by. Just keep your head up and eventually people will see the truth. Remember, you are one of the main people that turned me from a naysayer to a believer.

And I do apreciate your support, for each one of you who are employed and "get it" as to how bad it really is to find work, it really helps. So thanks LVD
