Statistically that means a little over 22 percent of Americans below the age of 65 have some form of disabilities.
this year:
That’s very presumptuous, and quite frankly racist, of you to assume such things. Just because they’re Hispanic doesn’t make them immigrants. But don’t let me make your seat on that high horse uncomfortable.
You made a negative assumption regarding immigrants. Not I. I think we have too few immigrants and have no negative associations with the word immigrant. Apparently you do. I mean it would be bad for them to “make them be immigrants”, right?
I’m lost on this. Care to provide where I made any negative assumptions? I didn’t. But keep getting uncomfortable. Maybe you can tell us more about your awesomeness of giving to the less fortunate (unless they’re white).
And state and municipality enforced licensing laws and certification requirements that restrict the supply of plumbers and electricians to keep wages and salaries artificially high (but states better not dare raise the minimum wage). But, yeah, those are good professions if you don't mind working hard. We do need some diversity and inclusion initiatives. We don't have many female plumbers out there.
Accuracy for the most part is racist. Ignore reality and you won't get called racist.
No negative associations at all??? All immigrants are awesome and all are equal and equally beneficial to society, just like all current citizens. Do have negative associations with non-immigrants?
A lot have actually had a difficult time. So have non-whites. There are no shortages of studies showing this and your moral exhibitionism on behalf of others doesn't disprove this.
Are you one of those people that while during a plumbing emergency says, “I will gladly wait 2 more weeks to only accept a plumber that is not white and/or male?” Or are you willing to accept the first qualified plumber regardless of who/what they are?
MLK Jr fought for this particular thinking.***
my mistake. I was mimicking the views of a few others on here. It's hard to tell when they're being truthful or sarcastic.
Provide a story about these countless folks you've helped. My assertion is that you can't get to know someone as a friend, hear their story and then couch them as just moochers off of society who won't work hard or be responsible and that is why they can't get ahead.
i'm not a virtue signaler like you. i don't seek out praise for what I do to help people in need. it's between me, my wife, and them.
Hahaha!
I think the ones they’re going to go after are businesses who took the ERC. They’ll never waste time auditing the really little guys because they can’t make any money from them. Even when they do find something, it’s peanuts.
Oh, it’s certainly easy to call BS on things.
you apparently didn't read his previous posts where he was goading paindonthurt. that's what i was responding to. but you be you.
Right, and what benefit would I get from lying on a message board? Horshack status points? My end goal is to convince/goad/irritate people into looking outside of their preconceived notions and political talking points and step into the ring. Get to know someone way different than you are, learn their story, who they are. Then do that again. Broaden your horizons beyond what you think you already know and really go out and challenge your own beliefs/assumptions. Spend a lot more time trying to understand and help people than you do trying to categorize and belittle them.
If you ever have a specific student need that you think has merit, DM me. I may, or may not, be able to help. It depends on timing, available resources, etc.
I've always said that if everyone had to pay self employed taxes we would have more fiscal responsibility in DC. I like it when my actual outlay is obscured by my employer portion. And I hated dealing with K1s and phantom income.
paindonthurt is a responsible guy and can fight his own battles.
Agreed but you can’t make these le him
if it rarely happens or only at a small level it’s balanced out.
If 22% of the people below age 65 need accommodating, we are at a sad place physically and mentally in this country and it’s self induced.
You basically said immigrants aren’t real Americans.
You realize why we don’t have more female plumbers right?
I’m willing to bet your previous post was at least 50% full of $h1t just like your claim you once were a conservative republican.
most Mississippians aren’t well know for publicly broadcasting their claims particularly on an anonymous message board where nothing can be verified.
Let me be clear.
none of that blather even remotely applies to what was said. you're just trying to play message board superhero. and failing miserably. i never offered any virtue signaling information. that's not my style. my benevolence is done in private. i don't need pats on the back. i'll give you some advice that you didn't ask for. just like you did me. don't be a dick your whole life. it's too short
I guess I can't think of a reason to lie about something like this? I can't help but notice that you don't seem to be able to even fabricate a story about personally spending your own time or money to help a specific individual, or group of individuals that are less fortunate than you. keep in mind that it was you who said you did far more than anyone else on this board. At this point, that seems about as likely as Trump donating his salary as president.
