The average american does not want to work, they want to complain about lack of available jobs and collect unemployment.
Spot on. It's like that South Park episode "they toook errrr jobbbss"
Perfect example. I know a lot of out of work union guys...electricians, plumbers, pipe fitters...etc.
I'm at my local cigar bar, smoking and bullshitting with the guys. There's a guy asking the laid off electrician how much he would charge to install 6 can lights in his new addition and do some additional wiring and informs him that he already got a quote of such and such price. The dumbfuck union electrician responds " Go with the other guy then"
I'm thinking to myself wtf. You stupid fuck. Who turns down off the book tax free cash flow ??
Here's the fucking problem...especially in Chicagoland where unions are everywhere.
These stupid motherfuckers who are in a union of thousands of members expect to get paid 6 figure salaries, get all the over time they want, benefits...etc.
Labor union guys are not supposed to be making close to 6 figures. I've worked in construction as a teen and through college. All the union guys think their trade is the most valuable and untouchable skill on earth. There's no way it is sustainble for these unions to keep demanding wages and benefits from builders and contractors who want to build something.
Tradionally, labor union jobs were for the guys that were too stupid for college, guys that couldn't afford college, didn't want to go..etc.
