for those who think being on welfare is easy.

Her work is based entirely in a digital environment.

Hundreds of project jobs dropped every day.

That link is JUST for graphic designers. 196 open today for bidding.
That link is JUST one of the contract sites out there.

Telecommuting seems like a better option for her as she seems adverse to wearing an adult diaper.

 

No one can match any liberal when it comes to making excuses. The singular area in which all liberals are exemplary.

 

I brought this up with my sister and she says they pay literally pennies on the dollar. That she'll be lucky to find a $200 job that only pays $20 for a days worth of work on that site. She calls the folks who take these jobs "ebay designers."

 

I get $123.00 a month for a service related disability.

Tinnitus.

I can still hear, I just need to turn up the volume and in very quiet places there is a constant ringing. Years of exposure to high decibel aircraft noise.

To some folks I suppose that's considered a form of welfare, and I suppose it is. I do work and pay taxes also, the tinnitus doesn't keep me from working.

 

I'm sorry to hear that sly.
I agree with you 100%, the welfare system is broke and it is the Democrats & Republicans who have screwed it up.
The system is gamed for those who abuse it while it is grossly inadequate for those who truly need it and trying to transition to a better place.

I know this from personal experience spending 7 months unemployed as a recently divorced single father coming off a 1099 contract - that means I paid more taxes and got no help from unemployment - basically income to zip overnight with the ex gobbling up any savings in CS & Alimony.

For $265.00 p/month I was required to work 32 hours p/week at Goodwill.
On top of this I had to accommodate my childrens school schedules, dues & fees, look for real work, pay my car insurance and car payment and commute across town weekly to participate in a WorkForce program which was also required for the program.

hmmmmmm, after my car payment, there was practially nothing left for gas to commute to GoodWill much less anything else. It is a racket that serves to employ people on the governments dime (ie. what they confiscate from us when we're working - I certainly did put in my taxes as a 1099) but does not effectively help people transition through difficult times.

 

I got that too from firing too many 70 caliber machine guns with only cigarette butts for ear plugs when I was in the service. Don't have it diagnosed or disability. Too late to do so now. But I too have constant ringing in my ears. I had to learn to live with it. Also hernia, tingling feet, sharp pains in my feet, border lined diabetes, over weight 305 lbs, ex-smoker with breathing problems. but I make do.

 

I call them working.

She is too good for work. I see. She over values her services, and when she can't get what she feels she deserves, she takes my taxes and sponges off your mother.

That is pride for you.

Graphic artists are a dime a dozen. The market is demonstrating her worth. If she had a (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)in portfolio, she would have a job.

She is worth, what she can get... which seems to be the occasional odd job, or more work than she can handle for less than her self evaluated worth. Her decision is instead to sponge off of society because she is convinced she is worth more than people want to pay in a rough economy for "drawing" on a computer.

 

as I said earlier in this thread yesterday she landed a contract that is going to pay her $700 for a weeks worth of work. It pays good when it's there but there are large periods of time between jobs where she gets nothing.

I would post her web site here but I've said too many negative things about her that she doesn't want people to know about to mix anonymous identities with real life identities.

 

What's a 70 Cal. MG?

 

The military is usually a very LOUD environment to work in. Hearing loss is one of the more common forms of sevice related disability. Sorry you didn't get a chance to apply for some form of compensation.

 

I hope he meant .50

 

So far her requirements are:

-Must be in her chosen field.
-Must be in the town she has chosen to live in.
-Must pay more than that website offers.

These are really tight requirements when looking for employment. They are aggravated by the fact that her field is one that is always in very low demand during anything other than a booming economy. The only time businesses pay good prices for freelance and unproven designers is when the proven ones are overworked, such as during a boom. During slower times companies can go with proven design firms, most of which have time available to take the contracts.

She's going to have a hard time finding work unless she finds a way to branch out to another field that is in more demand.

Even if she did only get $20 a day by working jobs from that website, she'd be expanding her portfolio, possibly developing references and earning more than twice as much as she gets from food stamps. It could be worthwhile to at least augment their income for a while.

 

Has the USA became Africa overnight or something? Americans deserve better!

WHAT THE (*)(*)(*)(*) ARE Y'ALL DOING THERE?!

 

HUH??!

You mean she doesn't have the time to make a phone call? What are yo talking about?

 

...

I'm not buying this (*)(*)(*)(*).

How much is $700/month? It's about €540/month...

Can't do anything with that, and certainly not with 4 children...

It only covers rent for a small appartment incl. utilities -- if you are lucky!

 

What made America great was people earning what they deserved. When they wanted more they found a way to EARN more. Demand and desire mean nothing without the work. No one has ever been paid what they think they're worth, and everyone gets paid exactly what they really ARE worth.
NO ONE DESERVES MORE THAN THEY PRODUCE.

 

People who don't contribute never really feel they are part of anything....this is the problem with welfare.

How can you feel like you are part of America when you give nothing back?

 

It's a big machine gun which mounts on a tripod, takes 2-3 people to carry all of it. It shoots bullets about 9 or so inches long and just a bit smaller than your dick. You don't aim at people you point at general directions or vehicles and line up using tracers every 3rd round. Our platoon was issued 1 of them and I had the joy of being the one to lug it around.

 

no I meant 70. I know the difference, fired both.

 

Wrong.
She'll work other jobs. Used to work and teach at Brevard Community College. She's tried to get back in there now that her business has crapped out but no openings. She's worked assembly line work building window blinds, she's worked in accounting departments, she's had all sorts of jobs in the past. She once worked in landscaping but isn't in shape to do that anymore.

 

There is more than enough work available.

She has a falsely inflated belief in her worth. She doesn't work, because she doesn't want to.

Average logo design is 40 bucks.

How many can she churn out in a day? 2? That is 10 bucks an hour. Average web site graphics 200 bucks. How many original concepts can she come up with in what time frame?

She wants to sit at a desk and draw a bigger check, even if she isn't producing. You have to be rather talented for those jobs now. It isn't 2000 any more.

If the market disagrees with her about her worth, she would rather siphon off of others.

It is supply and demand.

Never heard of a 70 unless we're talking what they used to mount on airplanes a long time ago.

Is that the equivalent to 20mm?

 

Fellas, but your gun(s) where they belong: in your trousers.
