Ive used the term lazy in reference to more than I can remember.

Lazy perceived.
A person who works hard guages laziness by the length of time it takes one to learn something, repeat a task the same way each time, the length of time to complete tasks.

Many articles in recent months on how Amazon perceives laziness. And w strikes your out. Auotas are used to help profits.
I fire lazy people always. Be gone. I cant afford lazy people.

Bigger companies use HR to weed them out.
There are some incredible tests companies put prospective employees through screening and call backs on references are usually worded to find every weakness the individual may have.

The bottom line points to waste and employees who dont work to the companies expectations.

Then theres those who are too damn lazy to even work or put trash in a trash can.

Lazy people stand out. They are usually sitting...always.

The bailouts were to keep the value of the dollar from going to **** but you know that already. They were stabilizing our country. So stop pretending it was our govt focused on making a corporation some money. You can't blame one group of people for the recession. Investors losing money when mortgages began to default, had nothing to do with the loss of jobs that caused the foreclosures.
There will always be downturns in the economy. You can't protect people from themselves. Consumer debt is just as high now. Which means people haven't learned from their mistakes. The only difference is there is a shortage of new homes being built. We are already in another housing bubble because home prices are out pacing wages. The bubble can't burst because of the shortage of homes.

OMG!!! did you just acknowledge the obama administration (who did pretty much everything not only without the support of the republicans but against their opposition for the entire term) of doing something RIGHT???
of helping your wallet???
of saving your finances???
of actually helping the country???
of fixing the biggest worldwide disaster caused by the previous administration???


there may be hope for you yet!

lol...the bailouts were bush admins design, obarry just happened to take credit for them...

I think the right has more problem solving skills. People act like self sufficient means they've never struggled or had tragedy. The left wants to take responsibility out of the hands of the people to be controlled by the govt. That's not the principle this country was founded on.

"just what is the l'azy left' anyways?

and, just who decided what is lazy, and what isn't?

isn't this america...life, liberty, pursuit of happiness?

is happiness working nonstop to buy kitschy plastic crap we don't need and didn't know we wanted?

is the desire for a more relaxed life in a paradise unsullied by the ravages of the 'non lazies' not a fair pursuit of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness?

is happiness slaving away to make others richer and more powerful so they can have more control over you and your paradise or someone else and their paradise???

are one's pursuits any more or less valuable than another's?

if your pursuits get in the way of others' should you be allowed to continue with them?

does circumstance change opinions?

should it?

how are these parameters set?

how should the be set?

who gets to decide?

same thing some feel about all the unemployment Trump is taking credit for.

doesn't matter what liberals think...fact is jobs are good right now, and unemployment claims are down

I think it's those that seem to always say "the government should...," or, "they should do...," or, "what we should do..."

It's never "this is what I'm doing," or, "this is what I'm going to do..."


I did.
That's why I put in the preceding "I think."


Yes. But that's kind of important; "pursuit."
That means personally doing something.
This isn't "America...life, liberty only for those that who want to convince others to change or sacrifice to subsidize or guarantee their happiness without any real or meaningful personal cost or effort."


For some it is.


Sure.
You just have to create your own unsullied paradise.


To some it might be.

Other than that, everything you describe here has been particularly facilitated by government intervention.


Inherently, no.
The individual subjectively defines the value of their pursuits, and through voluntary (or involuntary) group effort subjective pursuits can be achieved.


That's what guns and the ability to pay them off or convince them to pursue other interests are for.


Of course.
Anything and everything can change an opinion.


Good luck with that: getting people to never change their opinion, or forcing/convincing everyone to share the same opinion.


Poorly, usually with whatever works at the time that leads to the least amount of bloodshed.


Ideally by an omnipotent, omniscient, immortal, beneficial, merciful, loving, altruistic, benevolent tyrant with nothing better to do but above mortal concerns.


Each individual, and/or group the individual cedes power and freedom to.

We aren't gullible enough to believe the data is correct. For instance, do you think the 1st time a shop lifter is caught, it's the 1st time they stole? Of course not. Data can't give the numbers of merchandise stolen. Think....

doesn't matter what liberals think...fact is jobs are good right now, and unemployment claims are down

Data about welfare fraud is bs. Most case workers deal with the same people year after year. Selling foodstamps is just one form of fraud. Being too lazy to work is the major one. That's not even illegal. Welfare needs reform. Seems Trump is doing that. I'm not sure of the details but I think the reduction starts next year...staggering.
