Would any of you tell your 18 year old that they should sign up to serve under Biden after watching the Afghanistan withdrawl cluster fuck? Young men who want to fight in order to prove themselves aren't too keen about serving under a bunch of fucking trannies. While that maybe Dazzler and Mello's dream job that's not what most young males who aren't pole smokers are into.
FINALLY someone brought this up. I knew HH was going to die on his Dick’s Sporting Goods Hill, and I was wondering which one of you might bring up the fact that the current admin abandoned troops and handed an entire country along with tens of billions in equipment over to a terror organization.
That’s pretty hard to message out on a recruiting presentation at the local HS r community college.
It may not even be offset by the commitment to be inclusive to transgenders.
Imagine our cheery band of “thinkers” considering a labor shortage in the civilian economy as JUST PERHAPS a part of the equation.
Want soldiers? Pay ‘em.
It wasn’t our decision to raise the MW to 20.00/hr and then spend ourselves into 9% inflation.
GI Bill still pays for college, and these days that’s a lot of money, tax free. Two years active duty gets 80% of all tuition handled by Uncle Sam. That’s pretty damn good.
You can argue with the market or meet it. It’s a good time to be a job seeker and most workers retain the freedom to change jobs easily. What’s the minimum commitment required by the Armed Services?
2 years active and then some kind of reservist duty following, IIRC.
MS is a good deal, provided you aren’t being sent to a place like Iraq, Ukraine or Afghanistan to fight in some war for corrupt politicians and their defense contractor donor base.
The military has always been a jobs program to some degree. It can’t realistically be an at will employer though. So when the demand for workers is high it has trouble finding and retaining them.
Whining about “wokeness” is still just whining.
I don’t think I was ever whining about anything, but let’s assume the recent “wokeness” of the military is a flashpoint issue for some on the board here, or with a percentage of potential enrollees…
Do you have data points that suggest this recent cultural policy pivot has been a net positive for enrollment?
Are you telling me we’d be even worse off with military recruitment if we didn’t have transgender awareness week as part of basic training?
Or are you just saying that, given the current job market, a two year salaried commitment to active duty that gets the vast majority of your college tuition paid for just isn’t good enough for the kids these days, and we need to re-think what we comp our recruits.
Because while I’m willing to entertain a discussion on the latter, the former is fucking stupid.
There is a lot of bullshit people put up with in large employer organizations if the pay and benefits are right. The Armed Forces have to do more when people have perceived alternatives. They aren’t the only employers that offer pay and benefits.
A kid can go to work at Dicks and get some tuition assistance. He can also quit instantly in favor of a better job.
When the civilian opportunities are there, or perceived to be, military recruitment will struggle. When civilian opportunities are few, sitting through some lecture on inclusiveness just isn’t a big deal. You just sleep with your eyes open and wait it out.
And that’s not to ignore the fact that your civilian employer may also have some woke nonsense for you to pretend to care about.
You’re gonna tell me that Dick’s sporting goods offers a competitive salary compensation and college tuition program with the United States Military?
No two year commitment to work at Dicks. You’re still free to explore your civilian opportunities.
You girls were for low unemployment before you were against it.
Now you want to tell me that minimum wage + a 28k one time endowment is competitive with the US Military? 28k ain’t 80% of tuition unless we’re talking about community college.
If I’m 18, a two year run with the army before having my college essentially paid for sounds better than working at Dicks, even with the market freedom to go get a job at McDonald’s if I decide I don’t like re-stocking soccer cleats.
Oh wait it sounds like McDonald’s isn’t hiring right now…..
Also I’m not a girl, HH.
Unemployment is 3.6%. And you trannies can’t figure out why that affects military recruitment.
You wanted to have a serious conversation, but we’re one serious thinker short.
Since your side wipes millions off the unemployment roles to cook the employment rate numbers you quoting it just makes you a bigger bullshitter than they are.
gatewaypundit cocksucker says he's got the real figures.
Would any of you tell your 18 year old that they should sign up to serve under Biden after watching the Afghanistan withdrawl cluster fuck? Young men who want to fight in order to prove themselves aren't too keen about serving under a bunch of fucking trannies. While that maybe Dazzler and Mello's dream job that's not what most young males who aren't pole smokers are into.

Dick’s Sporting Goods
embarrassing
but so likeable
Small business bankruptcies are up over 18% Feb. 22 to Feb. 23. But don't worry the unemployment rate is 3.6% and Joey says everything is rosy. Potential military recruits have so many job opportunities they don't know which one too choose.

You're stupid and dishonest.
Fuck off.
Credit card debt is at an all time high. People are getting hammered by inflation and are using their CC to pay for household bills and expenses they can't afford. That unemployment number is pure crap. You have the highest percentage of working age males ever recorded not even participating in the workforce.
'The most chilling metric of all': Mike Rowe warns that 7 million American men are 'done' looking for work and have 'punched out' — why that's a serious problem
It’s only a poll of like 50,000 households chosen at random by the labor bureau to calculate for a country of 330MM people, 60% of which are of working age.
If they wanted to know the real number, they would need to run SSNs for everyone between the ages of 18-64 and count those with a current W-2 as employed and then weigh that against the BLS poll.
That’s something todays computers can do in 10 seconds but we still calculate the data as though it’s the 1940s
If you are no longer eligible to collect unemployment you are no longer unemployed
According to experts and scientists
U-3 is low. U-6 is low.
You're just making shit up.
Both of those metrics tend to paint a rosier picture of the labor market because they fail to include people who have dropped out of the labor market altogether. U-3 fails to even include those forced into part-time work.
Labor force participation rate is really the best indicator, but you already knew that.

Everyone is fine. A rat is in charge. How typical for elitist rats/socialists to claim that the little people are doing fine. No worries.
Pathetic and anti-American.
People living off their credit cards is just another sign of how great the economy is really doing. We're going to crash and we're going to crash hard and all of those parasites that are currently living off the government teat are going to get very hungry.

It's almost like the exploding homeless populations in all West Coast cities are not accounted for in the unemployment rate.
Which begs the question whether rape, robbery, and assault are now "occupations" in H and Mellow world.

None of those people are counted as unemployed.
