Thanks NAFTA :mjpls:

But more seriously the labor market is "too competitive". Governments are too in debt to actually be governments. Theyre more like public purses.


Now we being reduced to serfdom. Actual serfdom. People calling Fast Food workers "meaningless" and less than human beings.

Let's do the math breh....

60k before taxes
44k after taxes
44k/12 mos = 3666
Rent/mortgage and any other housing expenses should be 40% or less after tax =
2200
-500 - food
1700
-600 - car note, assuming both work @ 300 each
1100
-300 - car ins.
800
-400 - gas for two cars
400
-400 - health insurance

0 left, and i havent got anything left for clothing, entertainment, kid's expenses, etc let alone savings for retirement, childrens college, etc.

Where are you living breh? Manhattan? And what are you driving? A beamer?

Its very easy to live off 60K in this country breh. However, if you choose to run in the fast lane with meager bucks you definitely will be in debt sooner rather than later.

:skip:I live in America breh. Tell me what kind of car you can drive for less than $300/month or where you can pay all household expenses (rent/mortgage, lights, gas, waer, etc) for less than $1450? Even if my mortgage was $900, gas/electric is ~$200, water is $100. It's not unreasonable to expect to pay aother $250 for random things that come up, like needting to buy something for the house or repairs etc. We're talking about families, not individuals. An individual could live well off 60k. And the bottom line is, no matter how you do the math, there is no way a family of four can live well, save for the future, and be able to handle the random financial emergencies on 60k. We're a country living on credit and bill juggling.

:patrice:
see the move you're going for.

:comeon:how about this, The two most progressive states in the country California and New York, have the highest cost of living, and the most progressive cities within those states, the highest cost of all, as well as rampant housing shortages. :beli:
and i'm asserting this as a fact.:birdman:


:heh: But i'm not saying there is a correlation, it all just coincidence :lolbron:


You know damn well foreign money drove up cost in LA, San Fran and NYC and not liberal governments :comeon:

Thus the technological transition of jobs. That's why higher education is being pushed forward. The major downside to rapidly advancing technological economies is the displacement workers with time as efficiency improves, and the need for specialized skills.

your statement is misleading, because basic products (that dont require tech or specialized skills) are still being manufactured for the global market, they're just being made across seas at $.50/hour as opposed to being made in the US at $10/hour... thanks to the lobbyists and the bytchassness of our govt.
