Remember...no political discussions.

Too often, it isn't that a person can't find "work". It just isn't what they want to do so they cling to unemployment checks.

I retired from TVA as a middle-management type, from a technical department where I dealt with difficult tasks and everyone had educations and high level skill sets. But if had I'd been laid off I'd take a job at McDonald's before I'd sit around just drawing unemployment and thinking I'm too good to flip burgers or dig ditches. There is a lack of worth ethic in too many people these days.
