I'd suggest they move to someplace with a lower cost of living if the only job they can find pays 10 bux an hour.
Or, get another job.
Moving isn't cheap. And generally places that our cheap to live have shitty economies. It's not that simple.
Go move to Flint and live for dirt cheap. Good luck finding a job tho.
Jobs are out there, too many people don't want to work for it.
Example-Paid a guy $300 to attend training and rules tests. Passed the tests then left his shit in the parking lot and disappeared. Never worked a day.
Would have made $200/day minimum. Usually much more but 300 was enough for him I guess....
Why work when the government will support your ass?
Got a $10/hr job and it's not enough? Get another $10/hour job on top of it.
Way too many strokes out there. Both bottom feeders and those that won't do a job because they won't get their hands dirty. They'd rather be a barista than making $400/day.
I have no time for those people.
I hear you. But I am talking bout the folks whom are trying out there. If your in that poverty trap it's a bitch to get out off. Your not hearing about the folks working 3-4 jobs just to survive. They don't have time to talk or even sniff out opportunities like you presented that dude. You'll hear Polititians, pundants, and media talk about these folks but you never see or hear en they are to bust just trying to survive.
The guy you framed was taking advantage of loop holes. Same shit happens with Buses they will get a civil city job driving City busses get the training and certifications than bounce to the private liners who pay more. Is it his fault or yours for not having protections in place? Lock the dude down on a contract and sue his ass for breach if he fucks around. I can't blame somebody for gaming the system. Another example of how it's flawed and does not work.
