Job Openings in the U.S. Climbed in May as Hiring Picked Up

26. More spouting off without actually saying anything.

First off, you don't know me and you don't know my life. I grew up poor. I borrowed every penny that payed for my college. And then spent quite a few years poor after that. I grew up in southern WVa, one of the poorest areas of the country. So don't pretend like you have the right or ability to lecture me on "what people are facing out here in the trenches". You just make yourself look ignorant by attempting to do so.

I'm by no means wealthy now. I have a good, middle class salary, but I still have to worry about bills. I'm not anywhere close to being in the top 1%.

But aside from all of that, you are doing nothing but propping up a whole field of fucking strawmen. I never once argued that corporations are generally interested in whats best for their workers or that the present day corporate mentality is anything to be happy about. As a matter of fact, if you'd pull your head out of your ass for a moment and read what I said, you'd realized I am saying the exact opposite of that.

When I argue that there has to be more jobs than people to fill them in order for businesses to start offering better deals to their employees, I might as well be saying that businesses won't do the right thing until they have to. And that is exactly what I'm saying.

Your problem is, you are so emotionally invested in shitting all over good news that you can't stop long enough to realize that fundamentally, I agree with your position on corporate greed whole heartedly. But I'm adding that once unemployment is low enough that corporations HAVE to give better incentives in order to obtain new employees or keep the ones they have, then we will see some of these wage, hour and benefit problems start to work themselves out. That's ALWAYS been the case in our economy. History completely backs me up on that notion and so does any economist worth the title.

And yes, it is cowardice. You aren't emotionally mature enough to handle someone presenting a reasoned argument that puts a damper on your obsession with negative bullshit. So instead of facing what you ultimately fear, and that's the possibility that you are wrong, you cower behind a bunch of ugly rhetoric. Its exactly how conservatives tend to argue. And I strongly suspect theres a reason for that.
