What is going on with the US?

Employers are cutting healthcare and retirement. Wages are repressed with longer hours than ever. You can be terminated for having an original thought or political view. How are people surviving? How do you work 11 hours a day, every day, day after day, not saying anything?

    Nothing. It's fine. You don't create an artificial panic.

    Nothing is going on. The same thing has occurred for the entire history of the US.

    let's make life better for working Americans by opening our borders to millions, extending benefits and healthcare to illegals and asking the American working class to pay for it. Viola'-all better!

    Had to Obama imposed a Cadillac tax to pay for Obamacare. The old pension plans are financial unviable, even the government has been exiting them.

    Wages are actually rising while inflation remains low, its the first bright sign in a long time.

    Maybe do what your being paid for then? IDK what your referring to.

    I live beneath my means, invest, get investment income and my means rise every year, simple really.

    I don't, I did work over 16 hours a day 6 days a week for 4 years to pay off my school debt and start my investment fund. It sucked but looking back now was the best thing I ever did. At the time I knew it was only temporary and I could see the progress I was making and most important I made a plan.

    Socialism (the government pays for everything including housing rebates, college tuition write-offs, "extra kids" credits, healthcare for invaders), taxes go up, minimum wage goes up and business goes down so businesses are between a rock and a hard place, too many people are P C {if you did something 20 years ago - black face, derogatory word, had sex but cannot prove it was consensual) you must be punished. Soon people will not survive.

    i think u re lying. nobody is required to work 11 hours a day every day nowadays, trade unions have been fighting hard in the 50 for that

    None of that has any truth to it, at all. EIGHT hour days (includes a one hour lunch) are normal - what most people work and it is illegal to fire someone for their political view.
