That's like having the E German Olympic judge only managing to muster a 6 for the Russian figure skater. You know that's a pretty bad performance.

The leftists here are just rubbing their hands together hoping for those welfare programs to go through so his ratings will go up and they can brag. Right now they are in the closet. Top poll bater BB hasn't been able to claim victory in months. He's probably fiending to post his go to polls.

Sure

Simplify the tax code so that a return can be done on a postcard. If you have income, it's taxable, and you pay. The problem begins when you start sheltering some kinds of income, and who has that kind of income - and, of course, all the exemptions, deductions, etc. If it's how you pull in money to meet your living expenses, it is income. Now how you get to the guy illegally selling crack or guns or ... well, that's a different story, and they probably don't put the proceeds in the bank anyway, so the IRS probably isn't going to stumble across them.

Watch: Smugglers Move Hundreds of Migrants Through South Texas Ranch

Nearly 100 miles from the border in Texas, one rancher is alarmed by the level of migrant traffic traversing her property almost daily. The rancher, afraid of retaliation from human smugglers, prefers to remain anonymous. The rancher says the events filmed on the property show migrants circumventing a nearby Border Patrol checkpoint.

The video shows a steady stream of smugglers guiding migrants in the darkness through the ranch. The ranch owner says things have changed dramatically this year. “The coyotes and illegals have created a new ‘highway’ right through our ranch in Sarita. They have come through the same location every other night except Saturdays. Just this morning, two came up to one of our houses,” the rancher told Breitbart Texas.

WATCH: Smugglers Drop Two Small Children from Borders Walls in California

Border Patrol surveillance cameras captured two separate incidents where human smugglers dangerously dropped small children from border walls. The incidents took place in the El Centro and San Diego Sectors.

Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz tweeted a surveillance video taken in the San Diego Sector. The video shows a smuggler dropping a six-year-old girl from the border wall. An agent from the Imperial Beach Border Patrol Station caught the little girl after the smuggler dropped her.

Smugglers Abandon Two Unaccompanied Children at Arizona Border

Two young girls were discovered walking across the border alone near Yuma, Arizona, on Tuesday. The children were left to make the crossing alone by human smuggler near the Morelos Dam, a common crossing point.

The unaccompanied migrant children, ages six and four, were in possession of a note that contained contact information for their aunt. The children were taken to a nearby Border Patrol station where they will be processed and transferred to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

This scene plays out across the southwest border daily and is now becoming more commonplace near Yuma. As reported by Breitbart Texas, agents in the area arrested more than 5,000 migrants in the Yuma Sector in the first seven days of October. In addition to the record-breaking levels of migrant apprehensions made during fiscal year 2021, the number of unaccompanied migrant children apprehended also exceeded previous year’s levels.

Low grade gasoline is between $2.90 - $3.20 in mid Tn depending on where you go. Mid grade around $3.50 with high grade $3.80 or so.

Tripe. Pure tripe.

Throwing out the wealth envy is simply bait to get the hooks in.

Let this sink in, they pass spending of trillions without reading the bill but need to monitor our $600. Australians have perfect words for her and the other corrupticians.

Yea..you nailed it Reich...Wait until the real contributors to productivity say screw it or are let go cause the vax. Literal national labor meltdown in which the people that stay on are overburdened to the point of quitting themselves. just like the lady mentioned.

It's interesting that the article still talks about wages and benefits - seemingly believing those are key. As a retiree and engineer who basically burned out in the corporate world, I'd strongly disagree. Compensation is important, but I don't think I'd be in the minority who believe job satisfaction and some semblance of appreciation are more important. I read years ago at the start of my career something from an airline magazine on management - "the person who best knows the job is the person doing the job" and I've yet to see a B school grad who has a clue. Another I remember was from an ROTC "quote of the day" - something like "to get respect you have to give respect"; which I always interpreted to mean that if you want a worker to respect you as a manager, then you have to respect the worker. It starts at the top; a CEO making millions sends a clear message about who believes he is important and who he thinks isn't.

There have been all kinds of stupid trends over the decades, but to me the most absurd are downsizing, outsourcing, and just in time logistics. Economy is important, but things that discourage the workforce don't always fix cost issues. Pride in the job and pride in producing the product promote a desire to be there. Can't be bought with money and benefits. Unions and companies have always butted heads; had companies managed differently, unions might never have been.

What you’re describing I think is work ethic and ownership of your design/product. Some people have it day one. Some stupid ones like me get it mentored into them over a few short years. But the groundwork has to be there for it to be instilled. I absolutely do my job because they pay me to do it. I wouldn’t be there if they weren’t paying me what I think I’m worth. But my work ethic and owning the design are what makes me worth it … or did. I’m starting to realize I just don’t have the fire anymore. I’ve been doing this for almost 35 years. 39 if you include my internship time. I simply don’t have much left in the tank.

And I think that’s what’s driving a lot of the quitting. We’re boomers and our time has come to leave. We’re tired. There’s just a crap load of us and that’s gonna leave a hole.

I absolutely agree. I've always had a hard time explaining that I'm not driven by money; it's the job and satisfaction that matter. BUT if I feel like I'm not equally compensated then all bets are off because that's the surest sign that someone doesn't respect hard work and diligence.

Good summary! Corporate America sucks, but at least you get compensated for knowledge and experience.
The massively inflated price wages for no knowledge, experience, initiative, or even care, is going to leave a massive hole as you stated.

It reminds me that in about 1987 or so I saw a former HS aquaintance and he said he moved to CA for a job making like $40K. I was thinking not bad for a fresh grad. But then he said he had to share an apartment with like 2 other dudes to make ends meet

Or when I was 12 a new neighbor moved in across the street as they moved from their modest Chicago home to probably the fanciest home in the neighborhood, with an AMC Pacer and a Karman Ghia in the driveway.

Crap..a lot to unpack.

Just think of all those senior well paying positions that are opening up. I just don’t think we’re going to be getting much lift out of utilizing diversity to enable root cause investigation into the systemic racism issues causing the system design to be a piece of **** is all. I’m sure it’s just me being a crotchety old guy though.

Young Boy goes viral after shouting 'Let's Go Brandon' into mic while announcing start of race

A young boy went viral over the weekend after shouting "Let’s Go Brandon" when asked to announce the start of a NAPA Super DIRT race.

"Drivers, start your engines," three children shouted into the microphone when asked by the announcer to "help kick this thing off" at the race at New York’s Oswego Speedway Sunday.

"Let’s go Brandon!" the boy standing in the middle added.

The girl next to the boy began to laugh after the three words were spoken and the announcer appeared surprised.
