US income inequality at record high

[BawanaRik]

Here's a question for both sides. What are YOU going to do about it? We can't change what happened.

I'm not planning on relocating yet, but I'm keeping my eyes peeled. I don't anticipate being canned soon, but I've stashed away a little just in case.

I'm going to continue working low paying temp jobs until the chance to get something better comes along. They pay the bills but I do so miss a Paris vacation now and then

And as far as having a little stashed aside there are folks going on 5,6 7 years without getting a real job. Might I be so bold as to have more than a little stashed aside.

This isn't Europe where they care for workers who lose their jobs. The US welfare is focused on providing for your able body types who choose not to work.

Annnd... that's a wrap.

Really, I'm very impressed that we were able to max out a thread without major moderation issues - only about ten posts were moderated, and many others were deleted by participants in an almost unprecedented feat of self control.

See what can be done when everyone stays away from partisan politics and hard positions?
