More and more jobs are low-paying, part-time, no benes. And yet,

[raccoon]

in much of the US, including where I live, you pretty much HAVE to have a car to get around.

Also, how 'bout those jobs that pay minimum wage--or not much better--and "must have own transportation?"

How are you supposed to have your own transportation with such crappy wages? You can't unless you live with your parents, spouse's family, etc....

If it wasn't so dangerous, I'd suggest mopeds or scooters. :sigh:

1. mopeds and scooters do not work in the north in the winter

[Redfairen]

10. .......or in the south, either

We're getting rain by the bucketloads this winter. not scooter weather, at all.

2. It's easy

You just need to share housing expenses with several other people, work at least 2 jobs, and never expect there to be anything left in your wallet at the end of the day. Welcome to the new Amerika.

3. Don't forget to save for retirement and healthcare

4. You are right where you are wanted

Today we dont use the word slaves anymore. Its too obvious. We call them employees.

6. I'm sick of the whining on this board. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps damn it

Paul Ryan did, Rand Paul did, Donald Trump did and Dang nab it, so did Romney.
Just work hard at spending your inherited wealth and pull yourself up by those gawddamned bootstraps!
you needy, whining 47 %-er.

8. and if you need money, ask your parents

after all Romney did not inherit money from his father, just accepted a trust fund before his father died,

7. The eight year BushCo Reign of Terror created an employers market.

It was no accident either. They all but obliterated the Middle Class. Most workers are now working
below their potential and many more are working two or three McJobs if they can even find them.

And the willfully ignorant still listen to the RW Hatemonger Media and continue to vote rethuglican.
This is part I'll never get, how people can vote against their own best interests.

9. In many ways I live in a blessed area

first it is a blue state, that is a major one, second NJ used to have an incredible bus system and even though it has been reduced over the years, I can still get to most places by bus if I plan. Sadly, that is no longer true of the trains, they hardly run at all.

11. I love the $9 p/hr and use your own car to do the job, jobs.

One of the problems with failing to look beyond the BS numbers we are fed.
