We'll Take What We Can Get

University of Michigan economists project brighter job picture for Michigan


For which read: socio-economic mobility is for losers. Some people are stupid and deserve to be poor. Come to think of it, why bother mandating a minimum wage when people like entrepreneurial spirit can tell you what you ought to be earning?

If You're So Poor, Why Don't You Just Leave?

Sen. Debbie Stabenow urges Gov. Rick Snyder to veto unemployment package

Needless to say, commenters also attacked Stabenow as old, fat, ugly, and having an unsavory ex-husband. If the little lady wants to speak her mind, she better be prepared to take whatever viciousness anonymous strangers want to dish out.


Technology and social media have allowed the state to personalize welfare. The new system works the same as sponsoring a child in Uganda. You send money every month, and the welfare recipient sends you pictures of herself smiling and holding a bling-encrusted crack pipe, ass hanging out of her expensive jeans.


I think I'm beginning to understand. Since food, shelter, and drugs are all free, I should put all my ill-gotten gains towards scurrying out of the state before rmrmsix notices that I draw on the social safety net.


It's not clear why mo money has posted 471 comments to MLive if, as stated, (s)he was smart enough to leave the state for lands magically unaffected by economic downturns.

You Probably Weren't Any Good at Your Job Anyway

Is extending unemployment benefits a smart move for the state's jobless?

Articles about unemployment bring out the average commenter's killer instinct.


Apparently trophytaker maintains a list of approved MBA programs and minimum GPA requirements. Also, Randy_James may not be familiar with the many surveys demonstrating that the single most pressing concern for business owners is poor sales and lack of demand for services. Many people are hesitating before starting businesses, not just 64-year-olds with no previous experience as self-funded entrepreneurs.


Well, if you were a better person, more financially responsible, and a more productive worker, you would have found a new job right away. Concerned_Citizen maintains that the very fact of one's misfortune proves that the misfortune is deserved.
