I beg to differ, but, holding a woman close to you, cheek to cheek, mixing your breaths, while moving to the beat of a slow dance is, in itself, something to cherish. Learning to dance, for a man, is not hard at all. Most of the foot work is done by the woman. Even if you never learn how to lead, like me, you can still have fun. And, remember, getting lucky could be just a dance away.

"always got bothered by women asking me to dance"
Maybe you would have preferred being born in Iran.
You obviously prefer theocratic imposed modesty over freedom.

"To much motion and effort with no fruitful outcome.I can cut firewood or something"
Do you just dislike intimacy, because it doesn't bring home the bacon?
Maybe something bad happened in your childhood, that makes you dislike intimacy.
That would explain your general distrust of people too. Or you have PPD.

"I want to work that hard and have something to show for it later."
That is the most hollow life-goal you can have. Did no one ever tell you that
money can't buy happiness? Also, it's a very risky life-goal, especially in the US. One mistake or accident can screw up your life-goal. If that was your only
life-goal and it didn't work out, what reason to live is there left?
Even if you work hard and make it happen, if money was your only life-goal,
you would still be miserable. That's why wealthy people never have enough.
They've reached their life-goal, but it didn't make them happy. They only keep moving the goal post, in the hope that wealth can ever bring them happiness.
It's pretty sad actually. If their endeavor wasn't so exploitative on other people
and nature, I would feel sorry for them. They are victims of your stupid greedy culture too. However, they are also the culprits.

You are wrong Phart. Supporting them doesn't have to be with boots on the ground. Financial sanctions can go a long way and it doesn't mean we have to go in fighting. And, it is our business how they run their country if what they do is a crime against humanity.

Yes, but they don't want the stench emanating from the Conservative Christian South.

You understand this? That's why you don't have medicare4all!
Because those Big Pharma lobbyists are paying for your indoctrination,
and bribes of your politicians, against supporting a change that would eliminate their price gauging on your medicines, which would cut into their big profits
and would give you better and cheaper healthcare.

Or were you actually trying to say that your healthcare system is better?

Yes, you are right about the difference, but, no one is suggesting equal retirement pay. What's at stake is if today you can look to X amount of dollars/month , then you can make plans. Do you keep working extra years? Should you put more money in the bank? Now, suppose that a few short yrs from retirement they cut your expected monthly pay?
Another thing. You are always saying going to college is a waste of time. You advocate getting into a trade. Now you say that's not advantageous? Also, work is work. If a job is more lucrative doesn't mean another, not as lucrative doesn't require just as much effort to do.

They are working NOW

It's not their fault but they are legally liable for the "big raise". This is a COST OF LIVING raise. It's the same type of raise millions of workers get every year.

It's not that simple. Food stamps (a federally subsidized program administered by the states) or Snap as it's called now, require you actively look for work. You have to provide name and address of where you applied for work. Somehow, you have to prove you PAY for utilities. You have to provide invoices (paid invoices from someone that doesn't work 🤣. The maximum monthly amount for a single person is $281 in food stamps. Remember, it's only good for food. No booze, paper goods or cooked foods. In Florida the maximum cash assistance, and it's only as an emergency aid, is $303 per month FOR A FAMILY OF THREE. For one is much, much less, and if you are able to work, forget it.
Okay, let's say you get the help. Are you going to tell me you would be happy SURVIVING with this little amount of help? Most people, kids, young adults, or anyone else, would not. I repeat, you swallow all that dribble like cum from a cock.
BY THE WAY, DON'T ACCEPT MY NUMBERS. CALL SNAP IN YOUR STATE AND SEE IF I'M WRONG.

The stimulus checks were a handout, but, it was meant to help the economy. Both sides of the isle went for it. Now, let me ask you, since you are so against government handouts, did you return your stimulus checks? Did your employees? Yeah, right, 🤣. Extended unemployment, mostly used after Bush Jr fucked the economy of the world, was needed because unemployment was in the double digits and getting work was very hard. An economy depends, mostly, on people SPENDING money. If they don't have money to spend (out of work) the economy never gets better. Unemployment insurance lasts for six months maximum unless there's a special need. It's a handout, but, it's meant to help the economy as much as a family/individual. Welfare, on the other hand, is something that SHOULD NOT BE NEEDED except in extreme an unusual circumstances. A decent wage conmesurate with the current cost of living, one that lets a person/family support itself, being able to pay the essentials, would not require welfare. Working people's buying power has been steadily going down over the last 50 yrs or so. I blame the big corporations that have fought tooth and nail to keep from paying a decent wage to it's workers. They put down unionization and fire people to keep costs down.
Charlie had to stop working at 60. His health finally gave out. He has a whole litany of health problems, anyone qualifying him disabled. Even though he had medical proof, it took him three tries ( lasting 4 to 6 months each) before he was given disability. The last, and successful, try was with a lawyer. That took almost 18 months. He got his first check at 62+5 months. Two and a half years without any pay. Sure, it's easy to get government handouts.
You want more? My oldest so is 51. Six years ago he had a workplace accident, similar to Phart. It left him with an injured and
un-oparable spinal cord. He's in constant pain (and I'm so proud of him he won't opiate himself). Work is a thing of the past. It took him almost three years to get his disability. He had to sue Social Security and go to trial to get it. He got it and, you know for how much? He gets $1200 miserable dollars. If we don't help him he would be in serious trouble.
Yeah, it's so easy to get a handout. Let the lawyers tell you all about it. After all, that's their pitch. Did they tell you how they get a big chunk of the original settlement? How about that eventually they get it for you but not tomorrow. It will be months if not years. It's to their benefit to stretch it out, their fee is a % of the initial settlement (this is the amount due to you from the start of your case to the day they grant your disability and not a penny more). Did they also tell you Social Security pays their share direct and before you get yours? Think about that.
