[quote:SugarSand:MV80NzM2OTY3Xzg2MjkyMjgxXzU4OTIyNTIy] [quote:Anonymous Coward 79498103:MV80NzM2OTY3Xzg2MjkyMDI0X0QxOTNFRDQ5] [quote:SugarSand:MV80NzM2OTY3Xzg2MjkxODEwX0UxNzU4NEM1] [quote:Anonymous Coward 69697180:MV80NzM2OTY3Xzg2MjkxNzA1XzgzNTgwNjM2] Globalism and feminism killed the golden goose of American industrial jobs. Democrats are primarily to blame but some RINOs went along with it. They sold the idea of a transitional service economy followed by green jobs. What really happened was Walmart became among the biggest employers. The average Walmart worker to survive uses EBT cards. In other words, Walmart is subsidized by theUS Government!!! This is insanity. This will never support US real estate. [/quote] Blame me. I can take it. Most people blame me, anyway. I've been the breadwinner for my family since I was a kid. My whole thing is .. "would you say that to your neighbor who works all day? your brother?" The economy has always sucked since I've been eligible to participate (1991) and WAY before if you ask my dad (he died in a factory in 2012, so no one can ask him and it's ok). People's expectations are insane. I say people's ... but you all know who I'm talking about! [/quote] The 90s were mostly still booming. Some industry was dying, but tech was taking its place and being produced here in the US. The first jobs I ever had in the 90s I literally walked in somewhere, talked to the manager and started the next day. I started work as a temp office worker straight out of high school making $16/hr. Even in the early 2000s I could quit a job and have another within a week. I lost my job in '08 and couldn't find work for 6 months and was almost homeless. I moved across country for a job in '15 that didn't work out(long story). I spent a year after that before finding another. That employer was extremely abusive and deceptive, ended up leaving after 9 months. I spent 6 months looking and never landed another interview. I ended up starting my own business which was declining under pressure from large corps like Amazon however the last year of shutdowns has pretty much destroyed my business altogether. So, back to square one again. I can't even get a burger flipping job. The manager hears my work history and says why the hell do I want to work there. [/quote] I'm sorry. I don't know what to say. I'm a woman, and I've always been the primary, usually sole support for my family. I married once. I married a man with a wonderful child with a deceased mom, who I consider my own son and we had 2 lovely daughters. Then we divorced, and now I am in a relationship and even though we did not legally marry, I have another step daughter. So, I feel like I raised 4 ... 22, 15 ,11 and 9 I never stopped working. If I couldn't work for a living, or make my own money, I'd die. I'm 45 years old and fought the mommy wars. All this theoretical shit is just theoretical. Your experience is real. Just like mine is. I'm a big advocate of UBI. Andrew Yang is right on and the only reason we don't have this is because people have huge chips on their shoulders that they are not willing to shrug off. People who don't support UBI are blind, or they are carrying around some idea that there is virtue in busy work ... in any work ... and that is nonsense. I hope and wish it went another way for you, but I'm pulling for UBI. :hf: :hugs: [/quote]

It is what it says. We just got the second job offer. She only had 2 interviews, got both jobs.
One as a lifeguard, one at a deli/restaurant as help not working the slicer. Probably washing dishes.
When I started working minimum wage was $3.35.
She is going to make 12.
There are rules for 15 year olds ... she can only work weekends during the school year and can only work 38 hours per week - no overtime working - in summer.
But yeah.
So far, we don't have to choose one or the other but I'm sure she will. They both know she was applying for other jobs.
She's gonna have 38 * 12 * .75 (taxes) = a week. That's 342 a week in the summer.
She has 4 more job interviews this week. Because most of the jobs are Summer-centric, I'm inisisting she go to ALL the interviews.
She turned 15 on March 1, which made her legally eligible to work, and these are her results.
