Whats going on in the World

SMH regarding the total lack of work ethic we're plagued by. Had a structural engineer over to check somethings in the basement and he was bemoaning the lack of willing workers, not being able to bring on more crew even at the $85/hr he pays!!

It gets worse, his "Gofer" who just humps materials in and out of basements gets $65/hr and he can't find some people to push brooms at $35/hr!!! I considered signing on for brooming, at that rate we're talking over $70K a year. Guess this younger generation assumes that everyone should immediately retire after finishing college/trade school/apprenticeship with a generous pension, a paidoff McMansion, and a fat monthly SS check.

So sad, the lack of even a vestige of Work Ethic and the loss of a Moral Compass are harbingers of total collapse of civilization...

Problem is, you can't do manual labor remotely. They all want to log in at Starbucks, stay all day and get paid

Embattled New York Rep. George Santos was expelled from the House on Friday in a historic vote following a House Ethics Committee investigation into alleged fraud perpetrated by his campaign after months of scandals around the freshman Republican.

Following the release of the ethics report last month, Santos, 35, said he would not seek reelection to the Long Island-area seat he won in 2022. The congressman, however, said he would not resign because if he did, the “bullies” would win.

“I will not stand by quietly,” Santos said on the House floor Thursday. “The people of the Third District of New York sent me here. If they want me out, they’re going to have to go silence those people and take the hard vote.”

There were 311 votes to remove Santos, with 114 voting against and two voting present. Santos grabbed his coat and left the floor before the vote had concluded. One hundred and five Republicans voted to boot Santos and 112 voted for him to remain.

"I think the biggest problem, Neil, is we have the Three Stooges, you know, one in the presidency, one in the Treasury and one at the Fed," he continued when discussing his outlook on the country’s economic standing.

"I hate to say this, but inflation is here to stay. Incompetence is here to stay," Kiyosaki expressed.

Interesting article.

By kicking out Santos, GOP reminds Americans there are consequences for doing wrong … sometimes

In just 35 years, American ethical and moral standards have fallen and citizens now distrust all major institutions. GOP expulsion of Santos is a sign things might get better.
