UNEMPLOYMENT OFFICIALLY PITS YOUNG AGAINST OLD !

John, let me treat you to the coffee. Corporations are the government at this point.

Point taken.

Possibly an intelligent person with half of their brain removed would not see it as it is. An intelligent person with a full brain would recognize that the two issues are not mutually exclusive, and that corporatocracy employs both in their insidious and vampiric assault on the American public. You're having a lapse in logic Warren.

Who's going to pay for the extra ten years of Social Security? Younger people make less than older people. Who's going to make up the difference in lower income tax revenues collected?

A boost in pay to those folks filling the jobs left by the older folks, is one way! You see most folks that are over 55 have decent wages that now could be earned by the younger ones taking their place. Plus less strain on the unemployment compensation being paid out cause the numbers have been cut in half.

It would be the big fix! :)

divide and conquer, it's as old as the history of war. the predators have been employing it very effectively from the earliest of times through this moment.

I bet they said they are diversity oriented and don't discriminate either. Bullshit !!!!

lol, yea, quite a duplicity.

I am all to familiar with this, having been looking for a job for 2 years now. I worked for the same company for 27 years only to be forced into "early retirement". So I am too young to actually retire and too old to be hired. Sucks

Unite is the key, prerequisite to any action. Unite behind a People's Progressive Party and we might actually stand a chance in this war.

Again, progressive orgs are too fragmented, they must form an alliance for massive single events. There is a time and place for petitioning, etc. - and we need another type of presence - to be SEEN. We need massive mobilization for boots on the ground events. We can't coffee-klatch the revolution. I'm signing 10-20 petitions a day for over a dozen progressive orgs and the march to a corporate state is unfettered...

I feel your pain. My publishing company is on the ropes. 4 years ago I had a contract in the works for 6 years and 3 more books, not happening now... In the meantime we must create work opportunities for ourselves locally, or try our best to. No-one else can help, sad to say. I know that's easier said than done but that's what I've been up to and I'm just scraping by.

I so CONCUR ff!
