Well to be fair the politicians holding up the bill only paraded themselves as the best friends 9/11 first responders ever had so that their political careers would still be alive when the money entered circulation...

Original post by LessBread I don't see the distinction there. The working poor are the working class.

The working poor are those who work full time and live making below 200% of the poverty threshold and makes up around 25% of the working households; the income could be anywhere from $22,000 to $70,000+ depending on the number of people in the family unit. The working class generally includes the working poor, but has been estimated to be as high as 66% of the households in the US.

There is a real easy solution to unemployment. If ghetto moms would stop naming their childern shaniquaiquaiqua, they'd have a much easier time getting a job.

If we accepted that their names are part of their tradition and not take them out of context insisting on forcefully translating them within the frames of OUR traditions, we'd all have much easier time in general.

And vice versa, obviously.

Absolutely outrageous. There are far more people unemployed than just those with "ghetto" names. While there's evidence that such a name doesn't help much in getting hired, you're an idiot if you think that ~6% of unemployment is comprised of people who have your Amos 'n Andy-esque charicature of a name, and were not hired as a direct result of that name. Oh, and plenty of people had "ghetto" names when the unemployment rate was under 3%.

I find your ignorance, intellectual laziness, and racism appalling.

Indeed. That's too much derp even for me.

Oh yes, shaniquaiquaiqua can't get a job because her name is shaniquaiquaiqua. I see that makes perfect sense.


Note to self: Make addendum to 'I have a dream'. "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, by the non-Anglo Saxon properties of their name, or by some random Internet troll making up names to prove a point that doesn't exist in this reality but by the content of their character."

Ah, look here. I can get a business tax deduction if I buy chicken wings at the game and someone next to me "Hey, how's business going?" Oh yes, this is how business rolls.

You mean then, that there is no fault with the employers who profile resumes based on the names of the applicants?

everybody at least subconsciously profiles people on so many levels that make no sense. Not that it can't be proven wrong or overcome, but it still happens.
