You can’t? My monthly bills/expenses are totaled around $1500 a month. That’s 2400 a month plus 1500 thrown in every 6 months. I could easily live off of it. I mean good lord it’s 32,000 a year to do nothing

Do you not have to show that you've been looking for work every week while on UE? My friend did when he was on UE.

Housing, education and healthcare is affordable in Japan and they have freedom of speech as well.



Honestly a good point, definitely one I can't argue.


You are focusing way too much on post secondary graduation, there's so much more that we can do to round out and improve education before college, and so much more that we need to do for teachers and students at the K-12 stage. With more programs like the Promise and Reconnect scholarships, I think you'd solve a lot of issues with post secondary graduation. But K-12 needs a massive rethink. There is so much missing out of the curriculum that would help HS graduates learn how to cope in today's world. Math is so integral to daily life but, at least when I was in school, none of the math was relevant to how I do math in my daily life. I'm good at it, and thankfully I had a banker as a parent, which helps, but it only helps so much.

Japan doesn't have freedom of speech. The Japanese Diet is controlled by the gov and they can declare that virtually any public information was a “danger to state security” without having to define why, and to imprison whoever shared the information for 10 years

They so have a press problem

Japan accused of eroding press freedom by UN special rapporteur

The Japanese also abide by very strict social norms that restrict speaking out as a societal norm while we are supposed to celebrate speaking your mind. I'm not saying it's a bad thing but merely a cultural difference that exaggerates a lack of true freedom of speech as we know it.

The elites hoard their billions and trillions while the lower class doesn’t get compensated enough for labor. My grandpa used to raise a family comfortably on a single forklift operator salary. Impossible today. Wages have stagnated horribly, due to a multitude of factors way over my head lol.

But, your grandfather probably did the work of four of today’s workers.

Don't need a federal minimum wage. If McDonald's can't get employees to flip burgers for $8/hr then they will pay more. Also, a burger flipper in CA where cost of living is through the roof would demand a wage higher than someone in MS where it is much less expensive to live. Applying blanket policies to the entire nation for things like minimum wages, education, etc. is the stupidest thing in the world. This country is vast and each state has different needs and priorities for its population. Heck. Even within a state there should not be many blanket policies. The needs and priorities of west TN may be different from middle or east TN. State and local policies should override federal garbage like the minimum wage.

Yeah except for the greedy free market CEO’s who ship jobs to China and Mexico for 1/10th of the cost of the American worker. So a government who actually fought for American citizens would be nice 😭😭

I hate to be the one to argue with you but I will be that guy. Your grandmother stayed home with the kids most likely-no daycare costs. There was no internet, cell phones, or cable- subtract that from your monthly expenses. The family mostly likely had 1 car or a second cheap car that was paid for. People paid for their cars, not finance them. Take away your car(s) notes. Houses were smaller with usually only 1 bath- cut your house not in half. Debt was considered a bad thing and most did not have anything financed. Now after you gave up all the modern day “requirements”, you too could raise a family and buy a house on one income with no problem.

Yep bringing another half of the population definitely would cut wages by about 50%

I will truly never understand this board's obsession with LeBron. There are pages and pages of posts about him. I hope that now that he is eliminated we can have a moratorium on posts about him until next season. TIA

I’ll never understand the obsession with politics and the state of society. Supposedly we here to discuss Tennessee athletics.
