I wonder about the generational demographics of different cultures and how that impacts things. Many western cultures have fewer children to bear the burden of taking care of the elderly. The populations are shrinking for native born.

A lot of this has to do with a lack of resources. There isn't enough labor available at home to take of the elderly most of the time and the ones in a home typically require extensive care. My father and mother in law both went to a nu

Not everyone has the option of going somewhere else. I would like to see that as a viable option for everyone. I have often wondered if we ensured everyone had a viable option how it would allow us to change discrimination laws. An employer

I Don't think his assertions are unique to him. These assertions have been echoed and observed by others. Quantifying it would be rather difficult.

There are other issues other than money with regards to the cost of food. Time is one of them. The poorer I was the less time I had. No the recipes would not have worked. Healthy food also not readily available. It is not typically an educa

Yes, but much is created by bad actors knowingly spreading misinformation so it will go viral. I do not fault those who do not know better but I fault those who do or should by the result of their position. All leaders and candidates have a

I do not leave my current employer specifically because of health insurance. No other employer in the area provides comparable coverage. It would take about a $30,000.00 per year premium to get me to even consider leaving. Healthcare is my

I personally favor using an assumed income on wealth and taxiing that as income. I would favor treating all income as ordinary income and adjusting tax rates to accommodate changes in revenue. Income is income regardless of source. Simplici

You still need production at times and you don't want people losing momentum. It is hard to go from not working to working at a good pace. Keeping people in a working mind set I think is important.

Those unwilling to work would be sent home and temporarily suspended. A reasonable appeal process and the ability to change managers or move to a different site. I would build vocational training into this. You are in training either at you

I would to as well. I can easily have a smaller grocery budget when my kids are in school and I eat at work. But if we are eating at home time is not always there to cook. The poor usually don't have time to cook. I have more time to c

I despise means testing as well. I also believe the moral hazard argument is over blown most of the time. I would like to see a guaranteed employer of last resort that pays enough for someone to live. This employer (federal agency) could ad

That is interesting. I will need to look into it more. Household size can skew the numbers with children involved. I could not rent a place and get food and other things like that for that amount. Also unemployment runs out after 6 months.

What government benefits allows a man to stay at home and not work? Just curious. I have tried to get government benefits when I was unemployed and got nothing but a small amount of unemployment benefits. $275 a week. That doesn't cove

I agree. I had to critique fellow classmates writing in a business writing course once. I am older and had been in the business world for a while. My one often used critique was brevity. I didn't have all day for then to get to the poi

Cite a source please. I have heard this but have never seen a source. I believe Roosevelt said something along the lines of business that depend on paying less than a living wage do not have the right to exist or something. A simple search
