Mother jones, lol... the far left rag of hate.

The initiative may aid those who were laid-off or who are unhappy with their current jobs in finding something new. For some odd reason the OP is against this.

It's about retraining....but whatever. Does anyone really care what she says? Or think she isn't tone deaf? Cuomo told the unemployed to 'go get a job as an essential worker....tomorrow.' I always wondered why he wasn't called out on that callous and unrealistic comment. Probably because his last name isn't Trump.

What a great idea! I’m going to find “something new” all right. In November, I’m going to vote to clean house.

Now, as a result of the failed pandemic response, millions are unemployed. Never fear, the Trump White House is never short of middle fingers for the American public. This time, it’s Ivanka Trump’s very own diamond-encrusted middle finger:

It is certainly no surprise that Trump has had so many business failures if he believes branding is his forte.

He is owner or part owner of over 500 businesses....how many have failed?

Isn't that what we been telling the coal miners?

My kids were scripted to understand that they are not their means of earning income. Things change. People need to be flexible. That's what the people of Oklahoma knew when they got trapped in the middle of the dust bowl. They went to California.

It's great to be able to earn a living doing something you love. But that does not always work out for everybody.

The layoffs created when the oil patch went bust back in the late 80s inspired a lot of business creation in Houston.

DO something else.

If a conservative said that about some liberal women you and your kind (CNN and MSNBC) would have been all over it. Your comment sound big time sexist and a tad racist to me.

Such a terrible web site, I can't believe it's allowed to exist.

Ivanka tells America’s jobless to “Find Something New”

Jeeesus! Talk about stating the obvious.

She is so out of touch, what an insult. We would all be much better off if she just said nothing and let the real hardworking honest people deal with this crises in their own dignified manner.

We don't need life counseling from miss know it all. It will be such a relief to put all those whackos and grifters out in a few months.

Ivanka is right. I had to re-invent myself too. I had a hand that developed arthritis in the thumb joint so I could no longer do my detailed cake decorating job. I had to go out and change my career. If you can't find a job in your field, change your field.
