'PIP' is a Six Sigma concept. Doesn't only apply to the hospitality industry.

We bought a foreclosed home. The owner had decided to move for a job 3 states away. The owner lost the house, lost the job and because of cost of living had to return and live with relatives.

It is simply a matter of bringing back jobs, not crowding people into cities where they have no desire to live and going into debt to try to live there.

So, if today everyone in the USA had a college degree, how would that work? And, they all moved to the bigger cities for jobs. Surely I don't have to explain where that would go. Geesh!



Yes, much more likely that a Clinton voter was on public assistance than someone voting for Trump:

I can't imagine that anyone, in truth, didn't realize that. Although, I think with Trump talking jobs, he pulled some of those votes from those that truly want to earn their way and not mooch off of the taxpayers.

What isn`t mentioned in your Pew Research Center link is this. Most people receiving food stamps have jobs. Their employers are the ones mooching off of the taxpayers.

The employers pay what the employee's skills set is worth in the market which is determined by many factors including supply and demand.

They don't matter because they're not being oppressed like white people.



Too soon?

I love it, The Rust belt got Trump elected, guess who is going to get it stuck to them the hardest by Trump and the Repub bills, maybe they will learn one day that when the Snake Oil Salesman comes to town, ignore him.

BTW, I was raised in that culture and come from a long line of highly educated professionals who value hard work and honesty.

Ditto on your values, and reaction to HRC.

I found her and today's DNC utterly deplorable.

Only right-wingers are working class. Left-wingers are elitists, wannabe elitists, or welfare bums.
