The Worst of the Pain

[kelvin070]

They took weeks to do a detailed study. But you guys were very quick with a couple of split second key strokes to conclude its flawed without doing any study.

The study was conducted by staff at Northeastern University's Centre for Labor Market Studies. If you want to challenge their figures you have to do a study and come up with your figures
I suggest dt3 send your above calculations to them and seek clarification.

This is the surprise:

Contrast those figures with the unemployment rate of the lowest group, which had annual household incomes of $12,499 or less. The unemployment rate of that group during the fourth quarter of last year was a staggering 30.8 percent.That’s more than five points higher than the overall jobless rate at the height of the Depression.

If the same study was done on the great depression, they would have realized that the lowest level of income families would have also realized the highest unemployment rate as well. This would have been well above the 25% national average of the great depression, which is exactly why this shouldn't be a suprise. If you reread my previous comment, then you should understand this fully.

This article is comparing apples and oranges here. Give it a break.

-edit to clarify-

Apples and oranges because they are comparing one section of certain income level households to the entire national average unemployment rate of the great depression. They should be comparing the lowest level households from both events if you wanted to make any comparison.

And that staff is obviously as biased as you are, based on the """surprise""" statement you quoted.

KpAtch3s is right. They compared apples & oranges.

Which shows just how fucked up it is.

I just wanna know where all these people making less than the minimum wage are coming from? Are they illegals, or just waiters and waitresses who don't report all their income???

i can't wait until my generation runs this world

ANYHOW

People tend to not want to deal with things that seem hard to solve to them, or things they don't feel like doing
(i.e. On a much lower level, but the same exact thing basically: Me not doing Chemistry HW because I don't want to tackle the confusion.)

Of course, however
I don't know where in the hell the idea of "you do know you're dealing with people right? Who have souls? You do have a soul, don't you?" goes once a child grows into an adult. It's like they completely stop caring, kindness and the willingness to help goes down the shithole, with the idea of equality to an extent
They could fix this problem. Oh, it wouldn't happen in a night, but it would take time (i understand that). But they don't want to, and for that reason, I don't know where their train of thought is located

It doesn't matter where their train of thought is. It only matters where your train of thought is. See, that's the part of human nature that really bugs me. People seem more concerned about everyone else doing their fair share, often without bothering to do anything themselves. They gang up on someone else who has more stuff, take it away, and give it to the poor ... all the while patting themselves on the back about how kind and charitable they are with someone else's stuff.

People don't want to see what's right in front of their eyes.
That puts too much of the onus on them. We believe what we want to and cross our fingers that'll all work out.
It won't.

You are right, people actually don't want to see the reality and face the situation, crossing fingers is not the solution of everything, we have to make out the situation accordingly.

Thanks
