Nobody gives a fuck about your money. I made $9 hr just out of HS in '01, nobody gives a fuck about my money either.
I had a boss tell me, the only thing more useless than a degree is a pedigree, show me what you can do.
I have been successful in life with no degree but wiith multiple hours in extra training.
Far to many people use a degree as a balm for their poor self-esteem.

This reminds of an incident. I helped my mother move to a new apartment (duplex). It shared a parking lot with a "beauty" shop. Both were shitholes but she could afford it.
Parking lot was very clearly marked as to apartments and beauty shop. The other tenant was another older gal and we had all talked and shared BBQ and such. I was going to do some repairs for the landlord in lieu of rent...and did so for the other tenant also.
I was fresh out of USMC maybe 2-3 months, drove a 65 Mustang.
I came "home" and found that 3 of the 4 parking spots designated apartment were occupied. One was my mothers car and the other 2 vehicles I did not recognize, the other lady was still at work. I parked my mustang about this close to the drivers side of one of the offenders, got out my lawn chair and opened a beer.
Sure as shit, this fat old lady comes out and realizes she can't even squeeze her fat thighs between the cars. She looks pissed. It's probably 106F and humid as fuck. She goes back in the beauty shop. Out comes a beautician Karen. She TELLS me to move my fucking car. I just laughed and took a deep swill, mom comes out.
Karen calls the gestapo. Gestapo dipshit tells me to move my car. I just laugh having decided that this dipshit was zero threat even with his baton, handcuffs and revolver. More Gestapo arrive. SGT Gestapo tells me to move my car. More laughter. I literally have only uttered maybe 6 words, mom is just smiling and telling them that yes, she is my mother but I am a grown man and they need to deal directly with me.
LT Gestapo shows up, tells me a wrecker is in enroute to move my car and such. I decide to have a discussion with this dipshit. I ask him to read the marked parking. I ask him to ask the beauty shop Karen if I am one of her customers or employee. I see understanding come to him. I ask him how he thinks this is going to play out when I sue the ever loving shit out of the PD AND the city. He doesn't answer. Looks at me for a long time. The wrecker arrives and he tells the driver to pull the fat old beauty shop customer car out and to be careful to not even touch the "nicely restored classic mustang"
Mom said they never ever had a shop customer park there while she was there for 2-3 years.
I do something like that with challenged parking spots and gladly move my car once the $100-$200 ticket is written. They make a lot of noise until the authorities arrive. When they start talking about towing, you can hear a pin drop.
"'01 Hmmm.
"Women who were hourly paid workers had median hourly earnings of $9.57. This was 84.3 percent of the $11.36 median for men paid by the hour. These data on earnings are produced by the Current Population Survey. More information can be found in "Highlights of Women's Earnings in 2001,
Are you old enough to have stopped in Wallace for other reasons?
We use to ski Silver Mountain. Back then there was only a tow rope and we'd then hike for hours up into the trees, sometimes shoveling steps in the snow. We'd usually only get one run in on the first day but 3 or 4 the next. When the snow fall decreased, our trails might last several weekends. After a hard day of skiing, we'd drink several pitchers of beer while in hot pursuit of the tang. Go to sleep about 3AM, up at 7AM to go do it again. The houses of fine repute were still open if you knew.
I wish I was in that kind of shape now!!!
At least it wasn't a real one, not many left.
It wouldn't take a Google search to know that folks in dirt poor rural areas worked their asses off for shit money, men and women."'01 Hmmm.

Glad I’m not the only one who replies to this shit like that. Occasionally get actual human replies, lol. Keep up the good work
first off it's horseshit and secondly, in white collar that is not true and lastly, in blue collar jobs you'll routinely find women in lower paying gigs because they don't do the same work as the men"'01 Hmmm.

stop being stupid
In and out of the work force to raise kids. Admirable and honorable, but don’t expect me to pay you for it unless I’m banging you.

To come up with a "median", there has to be higher and lower numbers, only takes a few over inflated higher numbers to offset a heap of lower numbers. Median is a statistical tool...
Women pick nurturing type jobs which pay less, men pick jobs in STEM fields which pay more."'01 Hmmm.

Try to pitch your victimhood to a stupid crowd, maybe they'll rally around you.
Two things come to mind …. 1. a girl i used to know , couldn’t do her much goodCoopers pic of the day. You know who you are.
2. A intake on a A-7 Corsair
He's long dead. Not saying more about it.
Cool did you vote for the republican that wants to blast you in the ass or the Democrat that wants to blast you in the ass? Way to make a diffrence!!!!
Cue the “vote harder” naysayers.
Yeah, I slip into that mindset myself more and more often of late, but I still believe that if you don’t participate, you shouldn’t bitch about the outcome.
And call me Pollyannaish, but I also still believe voting makes a difference, or at least sends a message…even if it’s just to myself.
Ya cause if the Republicans get power. They will fix things. Just like they did in 2016.
is this the same person? Before the photo butcher destroyed them.
That's like leaving a Cnote on the ground. I want the free bees. That said, in a high traffic area like that I'd probably leave them alone too, but that guy has a swarm box, so clearly, they want the bees. Idjit on the other side of the ladder should have been holding the box as close to the ball as possible. They went everywhere because they dropped two feet before hitting the box. It'll be dumb luck if they queen fell into the box and didn't fly off.

if you voted then you can complain about that. To your rep even.Ya cause if the Republicans get power. They will fix things. Just like they did in 2016.
And if you try to take away their power they will fix things like they did in 2020.

$10.06 x 40 X 52 = 20K+ not including holiday, overtime, or overnight differential. bonuses. And that was while I was in collage (1975-79}. I made about $9 while in high school. I took home more than my high school counselors wiho had masters degrees.
I have to throw the challenge flag on this one. Who paid 5X the minimum wage to stock groceries in the mid-70's? Minimum wage was $2.10 in '73 and $2.90 in '79. Did your dad own the store?

No shit! And if that was me and my dad owned the store, I’d have been lucky to get paid half the minimum wage. Tight ass bastard.
Well, he said he went to collAge...
Nobody told you CB is a theoretical physics major.
It's all theoretical mathematics. That's why nothing adds up.
$1.90 +$2.10=$40k annually.
You just have to transpose the x.
I lucked out in '75. I was 15 and my brother hired me to work the summer on his concrete crew (let the jokes begin...(I can't bench press 425, lol)). He paid me $4.25/hr and I was on cloud nine making 2X the minimum wage.

I think a lot of liberals are glad he is the Republican candidate.
My parents were born in 46, I was born in 64 and I was the last year of the boomers. I personally have never owned a home. I do not blame others for the poor decisions I have made to not buy a home. It was purely my own fuck up and I have been paying the price ever since. I am not jealous of people that made wiser decisions in life and have prospered and have faired well. They worked hard and made sound choices in life, my hats off to them they deserve it period. Yea I think it’s funny how people always want to blame others for there own poor choices.This
Oh, and for anyone that wants to blame Boomers ? Go Fuck yourself and quit whining. Get a job. I did. In fact, I worked for 55 years. I owe my critics nothing and if you want to criticize me over something that I had/have no control over, you can go to hell.
That's why they've spent the last few years trying to destroy him.
Yeah right.
Throughout the course of my life, I've made decisions based on the best available information at the time. Have all of those decisions been correct in hindsight ? No, absolutely not.
I've just been fortunate that most of the important decisions actually did work out. But, in the midst of all those decisions, the common denominator was a lot of sweat, hard work and toil.
I'm probably set financially for the rest of my life. I drive a 2006 GMC Yukon Denali with about 170K miles on it. Bought it used, paid off a LONG time ago. I have zero interest (no pun intended) in getting into a new truck. Particularly not at $80K or $100K and payments. Gee, I wonder if there's any correlation between my financial condition and NOT having a shiny new truck in the driveway......
She's from the Noassatall Indian tribe you racists.
I think he has a point. There's a strong segment on the left that think the country hates him so bad that there's no way he can win and he gives them the best chance for 4 more years of Biden. But then, they've always been delusional too.
I made $5/hr roofing in the mid-'80s (working alongside illegals and convicts), and that was a FUCKTON more than the other HS kids slinging icecream or working a cash register. It was "real" hard work, but I loved the fact that I worked as hard as the men and got paid for it. In fact, some of them didn't like me because of how hard I worked. My paychecks had massive girth for a 14 y/o. I had knives, swords, Jivaro Blowguns, and all sorts of geedunk shit out of the back of Soldier of Fortune that ya'll could only look at the pitcher and dream about.
Just data, not taking a side.
Apparently people who attend collage have a distinct advantage over anyone attending a college or university.

That's because they don't believe we live in a shared reality and they have their own "facts" and "truths" that don't match our shared reality.
I grew up In and worked in my uncles mom & pop grocery store in the early 1960’s.
I stocked , swept floors , dusted cans etc. I would be there at 0600 until mid afternoons 6 days a week. My pay … a couple of dollars maybe & a jar of pickles or a lb of hamburger meat.
Needless to say , he got the better part of the deal. I did develop a good work ethic, and knew I didn’t want to own a grocery store.
