I'm under no such arrogant and naive illusions. I know full well that what I do is because I was blessed with a certain skillset and certain unique talents, and that there are very few people who are fortunate enough to be able to duplicate that. .
That is incredibly arrogant. I say that despite having advanced skill sets in demand. I make no illusion that either of us are such specially blessed snowflakes. The average human utilizes about 10% of their capacity (brain). It could well be, people with advanced skill sets, have used 15%, while the WM stock guy used 7%. That is likely not something locked in stone, nor doable solely due to iq differentials.
In short, I suspect how hard each of us runs to first base, in the education/training/work-ethic building formative years, matter more than your arrogant, given just to you, blessing.
Americans are sick and tired of not having a 40 hour work week, like we had before President Obama changed all the labor laws.
These days, American workers can not get more then 30 hours a week, because of President Obama and his friends in the democratic party.
President Trump has maid a lot of promises alot
YES! All the "victory" cries from liberals talking about "Obama created x thousands of jobs this year" blah, blah, blah, is not considering how many of those are part-time jobs. A part-time job does not pay the bills. There are no benefits, there's no overtime pay, and a LOT of jobs have gone from "employee" to "independent contractor", so you also get to pay 100% of everything. The liberals think that is "progress".
The same group of people who want everything for free because it isn't "fair" to have to work hard and earn your own way, don't see the hypocrisy with electing morons who pass bills that they haven't even read, screw over the entire nation with their idiotic "healthcare" act, try to force everyone to pay for it "or incur penalties!!!!!" (just don't get a tax refund ever), and praise massive regulations and high taxes on business...even the small ones who provide a lot of jobs to this country if we'd allow them to. They also insist on getting paid ridiculous amounts of money for low-end service jobs that a robot or kiosk can do.
Taking hundreds of thousands of full times jobs with benefits, and turning them in to part-time jobs with no benefits, not considering people "employees", is what liberals call: success.
In reality, what it's called is: consequences of uneducated dumbasses who voted for hand outs.
Most people would like to go to ONE job, full time, preferably with some benefits, (the very fact that the employer will pay a portion of SS and other such sundries is a benefit in itself - if you all don't know how much that is, go be an IC and pay everything on your own), stay there until retirement, and then live out their years enjoying the fruits of their labor.
Liberals cry for everything to be "free" because the "rich should have to pay, they have so much money", but then turn around and create a job market that makes people have to work several jobs at a time just to keep afloat. In trying to steal money from the "rich", what they did was flip the bird to the middle class.
It is absolutely hilarious to see these types of posts from the Trumpettes. To them, Trump is a weird combination of Santa Claus, Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy.
It is like Idiocracy brought to real life. Trump is so smart he is going to fix everything in two weeks and he's got what plants crave.
Before President Obama was elected all American workers had a 40 hour work week. In 2010 the affordable care act gave Corporations a Loop-Hole to not pay for their employee health insurance, as long as it was 30 hours or less.
Many Corporations took advantage. Here is a list of those Corporations.
Walmart/Sams Club
Circle K
Walgreens
YMCA
Amscot
McDonald's
Taco Bell
Target
Home Depot
One method would be to offer tax incentives for every 40 hour per week employee. Seems simple.
That seems like a bad idea, lets reduce taxes even more so that corporations can get another tax break just to have workers working 40 hours a week. It is weird that there was a time when we didn't need to give a tax incentive to a corporation just so they pay full time.

and thousands of other companies.
Almost all food service business require less then 30 hours a week for employees now. It really hurts when one makes $10/hour and then they get their hours cut on top of that. One of the worst parts of the ACA, I understand the theory, but it just doesn't work in reality. Businesses should not be required to give health insurance, it has ended up causing a huge mess, especially for low wage earners. The ACA has really screwed the low income people which was the exact opposite of its purpose.

Idiots.
Let me let you in on something: Most full time jobs had no benefits either; many did not provide healthcare insurance prior to Obamacare.
Many do not seem to realize that Full Time starts at whatever the employer deems it is,not 40.
For example,in many hospitals overtime is anything over 36 hours in a week.
In some places,if i work 12 hours shifts on Mon-Sat,and have the next week off,i am still working full time.
The Fair Labor Standards Act defines a work week as 40 hours in one week. Individual employers can call it whatever they want, and start paying overtime at whatever point they like, but the FLSA does establish a standard definition.
