I can’t understand why announced national employment numbers are so positive. Where are these people working? Local major highways are filled with cars during daylight working hours, and how is that explained? If you seek help in local banks, hardware stores, restaurants, etc., there aren’t enough workers to help you, and you need to make appointments in many cases to even talk with someone. Big-box stores have eliminated workers by adding self check-outs, but prices there have also soared.

Employees who can’t speak fluent English are now employed, and you have trouble communicating. Why are they there? Can we be assured they are U.S. citizens? Should we ask them?

Are U.S. citizens not seeking work?

I have read that the young vote determined the recent voting outcome due to their concern for the elimination of birth control. Sex in exchange for murder while you get all the freebies to avoid pregnancy? What is it that I’m not understanding?
