    I didn't say they were perfect options, just options. The alternative is to lay around the apartment complaining how unfair life is until you get evicted.
    oh really, well let's do the math, let's say you are a single parent making 45000 a year that's about 3750 a month, we'll call it 3111 after taxes. So you're rent for a 3 bedroom is about 1500, your phone is probably 150, assuming you got one for the each of the kids, your internet is probably 100, car insurance 100. Food we'll call it 100 a week 400 a month, electricity 100, health insurance 150.

    You get a job at dominos making $11 an hour that's 1760 a month after taxes we'll be at 1560. So if you decide to eat for the month, have light or have a cell phone or car insurance, congratulations you're evicted

    What do you want her to say? It's the same advice I'd give someone. Do your best to figure out something else. I have three friends that had to find something else. Two are at Amazon. The other is trying to get his insurance license.
    Maybe it sounds harsh, "find something new". But that's reality. Yes it is a recession and it's tough as . But I don't know what else there is to do. "oh...just hang around your house and hope something comes up".
    I would like her to say nothing.
    she has a government job for the White House that none of us can get.

    it may be a decent message, in the right context, from the right person

    did she explain how to file for unemployment in the meantime?

    Again, she's giving good advice. What's your advice? And as good as your advice is, what platform are you going to give it from?
    What would your rather her say? I'm pretty sure if she remained silent, you'd have a problem with that as well.
    Good advice? .

    "Get a job" is "advice". Ok, I guess that is what passes for wisdom in Trumplandia.

    I am confused by your hangup over children in the household. That is a (poor) personal choice. A person owning payments on a brand new sports car will also find the current situation increasingly difficult.
    ok

    Last I read she isn't drawing a salary. But she is definitely wealthy. By your definition there are very few people in the House or Senate either
    You can accept statements from as they are all millionaires.

    Congratulate the covid. It's a non denominational independent party killer. Viruses arent political.

    I was just responding to you talking about how getting a job at dominos prevents them from getting evicted. Those ing companies you listed pay their employees jack , that's one of the big reasons they have positions open, and if you get a job there you'll be paid, but depending on where you were at before all you'll be doing is not getting paid enough and helping some CEO make more money. Which the difference between someone crying at home and get evicted, or work and get evicted.

    It's actually pretty stupid advice and I'm objective when it comes to both parties when they give out of touch career advice. I'm not a republican but I have criticized Obama for years for stressing coding is the solution for anybody looking for a job. I also felt Rahm Emmanuel who is democrat was a POS when he recently said a bunch of fired workers should learn to code.

    If you are out of work and you can't get employment in your current field then you are going to eventually accept jobs simply to survive. Very few people are going to voluntarily become homeless and that's why what Ivanka is saying is just straight up stupid.

    Such a person should not have a 3-bedroom place. And will need to work 2 jobs. Hopefully they have family near by to watch the kid(s).

    I think a bigger safety net for Americans would just result in many taking on more debt and/or kids. These people are groomed to live paycheck to paycheck and fake it til you make it.

    Doubtful Dominoes or most of these places would hire you full-time right now anyway so you wouldn't even see that 1560.

    It's hard to re-invent oneself... it's a process, and uncertainty is definitely a big factor that pushes back... we tend to value a sense of security.

    You're way low on the health insurance estimate, it is probably at least 400. I have one kid, and it is around 450, but my employer pays half, which most do not.

    Eh.. Ivanka Trump isn't in charge of anyone and no one is starving to death in this country.
    In Texas, 4,295,240 people are struggling with hunger - and of them 1,598,940 are children.

    https://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/texas

    It's not news that, if you cannot find work in your career field, find something new. Many here have changed careers at some point due to cir stances or opportunities, one can be the other at times.
    Nobody needs to be told that, especially by a spoiled princess that "found something new" through nepotism.
