Do we really need sporting events

Quote from Edward Neal

you do realize that by world standards - YOU are the Rich - - heck by Democrat party standards you are the Rich - -poor people dont retire ever, let alone before social security retirement age

Yep - - the "poor" don't have Slingshots or other recreational "toys" those are only for the Rich - - - just ask AOC

there are just rich and poor...The middle class is now defined as lower upper class or upper Lower class...

And that is the problem...the good jobs where you could retire and have toys and goodies went to China and India....now they weren’t paid middle class wages....they still get slave wages...

So now where is the income line between rich and poor...

Corporate greed defines And dictates that figure. they want to keep your wages low....they don’t want you to be anywhere near their income level...know your place worker bee....so you tell me why companies only feel successful if they keep wages as low as possible? Why aren’t they considered successful if all their employees are making middle class wages....we keep our employees poor at poverty level....look how good we are...

I’m not a socialist....I don’t want socialism.....But why can’t they share the wealth....with the people actually doing the work and bringing in the money? A decent wage, fair wage Isn’t asking for the world.

That first line equals $6.25 an hour based on Full time 2000 hours...

If companies pay the game...nobody is full time because we would have to offer benefits...we want loyal workers but we aren’t loyal..we get benefits, hospitalization but you don’t...

remember the time when only dad needed a job to raise a family? Then two people needed to work to raise the family and the latch key kids became the new norm and society started to take a downfall....that’s blamed on low wages..We let teachers And baby sitters start raising the kids..because mom and dad had to work to make ends meet.

don’t forget AOC wants that evil slingshot to run on batteries...turn yourself in...

Quote from Edward Neal

I disagree - only a fool would count on someone else providing them with retirement, only a fool would trust the government to provide social security and only a fool would trust their employer - - yes these things are nice when you get them, but if you have 1/2 of a brain you should assume they wont be there and trust only yourself to save for your own retirement

according to financial people....in order to live at the same lifestyle you have now you need to save almost half of your income for retirement......most people can’t live now on their entire paycheck...so how are they supposed to live on half?

my Hourly contribution Was a portion.....the company contractually promised to put in the rest....It wasn’t a 401k....it was a defined pension obligation....if I put in more years of senior my pension would increase ....it was a reward for staying with the company....

I’m still waiting to see all the 401k millionaires the government promised......I’m talking about blue collar workers....not people that were already millionaires...Any hands from people that are going to be millionaires from their 401k?

why are you getting mad at me...I’m just stating facts...from things I’ve seemingly happen over the years...

Quote from Albert12

I do the same. Charge everything I can and pay balance when bill comes due. I also like getting the cash back. So why don't I have a 900+ credit score? I think it's all bs developed by someone to make

it was a scheme designed to keep people in debt.....to force the down and out to stay there...money goes to money....when I first met my girlfriend 7 years ago her credit score was 904....

Girls never lie to me ....

and all this double info proves one thing ... the credit score thing is a scam to make people pay higher interest.

Quote from Edward Neal

you only pay higher interest if you dont have the best credit - and that is totally up to you - no one makes you do the things that take your score down

my house has been paid off for over 15 years.....my credit score is kept low because I no longer have a mortgage history......so I get no “credit” for owning a home and not having a mortgage....If you owe no money your credit score is low. You need to owe money to have a score....the more you owe the better it gets.....until you get to a certain point. The more you owe means you’re being a good boy and paying your interest...to them. So they will reward you with a few extra points.

up until Equafax had their breach...their credit score numbers were always the lowest ....since that happened now their numbers are always the highest.....so if you wanted to buy a new car and the dealer wanted to charge you more interest or deny you credit they would pick equafax.... now I think equafax wants to be the good guys and have their scores used more than the others....

I don’t for one minute believe these companies can manipulate a score to fit whatever model they want. It’s all about the money....I’m Note surprised they are charging you to get your score. For a hundred years nobody had a credit score....and everything worked ok....it’s a new money making gimmick....your car insurance company now uses your credit score to do set your rates...How does that affect my driving?

Whose idea was it to force you to use a credit card to rent a car or a hotel room? You can not use cash...
