What this world needs is an good.....

How about a worldwide law making it illegal for any one person to hold more than one job of work, at any one time? That includes part time and full time.

Reckon it might go some way to solving the unemployment problem.

Depends on how much the one job pays Ron.  I had two jobs one time..one of them my hours were reduced down to two hours per day so my lady supervisor could cheat us out of our wages knowing that the place was about to close...she told us she was training people and needed our hours to do that with is why an couple of us got ours lowered, including an assitant male supervisor with an family to support....what she was really doing was setting herself up for an very "fat" unemployment check. People like her.. was the cause the place was closing down to begin with...with one hand in the till for herself. Unemployment checks are paid on an per centage basis of how many hours were worked over an certain time period prior. So naturally I told my old time friend that worked for the Federal Government.. and retired from being an unempolyment worker that helped people get hired in jobs....so she could spread the word on this lady and how she "operates" business wise.

I came in tonight to tell you I was going to listen to my "coast" talk show tonight..when George Norry...andt this is an world wide synicated show...tells us his show is about anxiety tonight because he had quite an expereince on his recent vacation...he had some friends getting married in San Lucus Island..down in the carribbean..and they asked him if he'd come to their wedding...so he took the time off an went....he said when it came time to go back and catch his plane, the hotel called an cab....well they came an picked him up and he said the cab driver was talking all the time on an walkie talkie..which was unusual. He wasn't driving back to the airport the way he was  when Noory first arrived, this guy was taking him into an rather "seedy" looking neighborhood, and then his cab breaks down...Noory says that by now he's talking to him in broken Hispanic, but he's not answering him...so he went to get out the cab, when the door handle breaks off and he's stuck in the cab, well, he decides to crawl through and get his bags and see if he can get to the airport some other way. He says that he's beginnning to think it was an "set up" also....but he manages to get out of the car and flags down another private person driving by as two or three other cars pull up behind the cab driver. He said he was glad the other fellow stopped, because he had suspicions he was about to be robbed or kidnapped possibly. See why I say...stay out of south of the US border...land or sea.. and they are trying to work their way up here also. People are already increasingly arming themselves up here. Unfortunately the citzens are having an tough time with their guns, six different areas over this lst weekend saw people shooting off their guns randomly by accident...no one hurt...but putting bullets into your house isn't the thing to be doing either. Quite aways from where I live...but you know..no place is to far away these days any more....I do have an policeman living an couple of houses away now though...but sometimes they can be more hazzard then help also. Noory also has in the past had heart problems also...that an his friendship with Dr. Christopher Wilde has given many of us new hope in heart disease problems.  

Ron, the unemployment problem will never go away and never has in the past...the past saw people move into frontier areas where they could "live off the land" freely...with land ownership...it's no longer viable to do. Frontier people could live in caves, trees, wagons, until they could get together and fell trees for an cabin to be built. Most the time when thier kids first married they lived near by in thier own cabin and it was an "family" affair...they helped each other chop wood, hunt for game to eat, grow gardens, and make things they needed. That went out the door when employers said you had to "transfer" your  job location to climb up the ladder in the company. I don' t know about all company"s but I know an lot of unhappy people over that...that eventually ended up losing everything... to start over closer to where they worked....that really didn't want to.  My old nieghbor was one of those type and she told me it was 2 hours each way just trying to get over town ...and another two hours back daily everyday...or an total of four hours on the road for her job....add another 8 to 9 hours onto that and it's makes an time consuming job that leaves little pleasureable time to do anything else but think about work. They sold thier house here an moved over to the west side of Portland to be closer so she could gain 3 hours of time every day and have less gas expenses and wear and tear on her automobile...for the money she was making. Boston Market proposed that to me also, and 50 cent raise in wages, plus an free lunch...I never ate lunch when I worked there much anyway... and higher training if I'd drive to Beaverton daily...I said no...it will result in me losing $1.50 in my hourly wages to compensate for the distance. If I were to go into managament I'd rather stay closer out here and build my own clientel locally off people that knew me.. in the area. One reason they had business when I worked there... is the people I knew...whom also told me which workers they were unhappy with also....and the service they were unhappy with.. also. Not only did my old nieghbors come in, the Elk Lodge" members, but my new neighbors from buying the house I live in now back then. Logistic's Computer company had bought the land where my hubby use to work from his boss...they came in everyday to see me...23 people....they were full of questions about where their company was built. They asked me to quit there and go to work for them when they opened up their company cafeteria...I probably should of. Had I went to another area...it would be all new customers. Well as the economy "sours" these days stop and think how many people are having to relocate and the expenses they are incurring now from companies going belly up. Not to mention what it is doing to the local government that depends on their "taxes" to exist.  One other thing...if your an union worker....and you get tagged into an career job...you lose all your senority in that career field if you take lower wages or change into an field of work....if your unemployed.  I was an pretty highly paid worker at one time. The state law has just NOW caught up with the wages I was making 34 years ago....to where I could go in any job that comes along... and not suffer for doing it....by giving up my senority status "union" wise. So some people are actually better off NOT working. Of course these days they go back to school on an grant if they can and "wait" things out until the business opens up once again or they have the education to go higher in their chosen field of work elsewhere. To really help the unemployment "problem" I would say you would have to make the rules and regulations "bend" an bit so people can do for themselves better without needed income. Esp in lower income jobs to begin with. To say some advice given by Cliff High..financial advisor....he says....every two years add some kind of knowledge in doing things yourself...but keep your regular job or carreer...but if it takes an fall...be standing there with other skills you can do...that also might enhance employment iin other area's or simply in helping yoruself suvive in not spending so much money.Cliff went back and learned welding...raising and slaugherting his own farm animals...then wrote books about surival....patented several products he thought made his work easier that he had devised...he gave us all an receipe for making whole wheat noodles that will not spoil in surval times, wrote his book...how to live on less then $10,000 daily....How to build greenhouses.  The problem is not people being unemployed...it is people being dependent on "money".

Stop making people dependent on an money source... and most of the problem is gone. What did our ancestors "do" when required to pay taxes...they moved on an let other pay them....that had the money.  But as I said back then they could do that because every little piece of land was not owned by someone like it is today...one reason these "Occupy" people that have no jobs looked perplexed when they are told to disaband and go elsewhere....like...gee...where's "elsewhere" these days for living freely? They are correct you know...when they had jobs...they were paying taxes to support the public lands...now they have no jobs...they need the land loaned to them as an source to live on until another adequate paying job can be found.

an good joke......

Four sons, lawyers and doctors... were sitting around talking about what they'd given their mother for Christmas this year....first one says....well, I gave her an brand new big house when she moved to Florida...the second one said...I put an top rate "Home" Theater in her new house....the third son...he says...well I bought her an mercedes...so she can go anywhere she wants at any time...and the fourth son...he says...I found an "Parrot" that can recite any bible passage if you mention an word in it or an bible verse....they had trained this bird for years in the monestary... and I had to pledge $50,000 to the church for the next five years.

Week later they got an message from their mother...to the first son

she said "Thank you for the big new house...I can only manuver one

room these days and had to hire an housekeeper to keep it clean..but Thank you anyway....to the second son she writes...Thank you for the 50 seat Home theater with surround sound, but I can hardly hear and see and my freinds are mostly dead now...but Thank You anyway....to the third son she says..Thank you for the new Mercedes car...but I don't go much anywhere these days, and I generally have the groceries home delivered...but Thank you anyway....and to the fourth son she writes....Now I can see you took time to think over your gift..... and I'd like to say Thank You....the chicken tasted great! MOM.

That did it...you guys an your imbibiing on the goodies...I went an made me two fried eggs with toast...and I am gleefully eating them right now...then I'll take my cholestrol pills. Fresh  fruit dipped in belguim choclate don't sound to bad right now either....but leave that for Valentiens' Day as it's coming up. I'd probably have to go to World Market to get chocolate from Belgium in these parts.

We've got too much over here. Strangely enough, nobody is complaining,
