jobs keep getting outsourced, yet the population keeps growing from internal and external sources.
someday, there will be a lot of people and not that many jobs.
seems like common sense, but try explaining that to corporations, companies, etc.

I'm sorry to hear this. It is everywhere and my area is one of the hardest hit over the past 10 years and most will argue over the past 20 years.
Things are very difficult now a days.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

Not really surprising. Sucks big time. The American dream has been a crock of shit for a number of years.
Seriously... things are going the way of tech jobs or other such skilled labor and people that don't have the desire to go through college and what
not are shit outta luck. Country can't last long when that happens.

Sucks. I live in an economically depressed area as well. I could go west and make a dumptruck full of money, but if everyone leaves what happens? They
shut down the fisheries, the coal mines and the steel industry over the last 25 years, lots of people out of work. Hard Times in the Maritimes, as we
like to say.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

fire, but I?m just not close enough to get the job done.? George Carlin

Funny thing is the guy from the Liquor Commision straight up said, "The provincial government needs 17 million dollars and people drink lots of beer
in the summer." I was listening to it on the radio on my way to work and kind of felt a little better about it when I heard that. I guess its a 3
month hike, a buck a two-four. We have had riots related to liquor and access to said liquor in this city before though.
