From NJB:
Despite Labor Issues, Companies are Still Eyeing NJ, Panelists Say
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, October marked the tenth consecutive month of nonfarm job gains in New Jersey. The state’s private sector employers added more than 38,000 jobs during the past two months, and overall, New Jersey has now recovered 512,900 jobs, or about 72%, of the number of jobs lost in March and April 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite these gains, there does remain a disconnect when it comes to the state’s unemployment rate, which currently sits at 7%, well above the national average of 4.6%, and the number of job openings in the state, of which there are approximately 300,000.
There are a host of reasons as to why people aren’t going back to work, including child care concerns and now-expired unemployment benefits, but the overall feeling among panelists at the New Jersey Business & Industry Association’s (NJBIA) 2022 Public Policy Forum is that over time, more people will end up reentering the workforce as the state continues to recover from the effects of the pandemic.
“There is still a level of optimism,” said Choose NJ President and CEO Jose Lozano, during a panel discussion at NJBIA’s Public Policy Forum, held at the Delta Hotels by Marriott Woodbridge. “We still have a significant number of companies coming to New Jersey, and still hiring and adding more jobs.”
He said that New Jersey’s well-documented benefits such as its desirable location and highly educated workforce remain attractive to companies despite the state’s current unemployment rate, and, more importantly, its high taxes.
“This region is still the choice region for international companies looking to expand into the US,” Lozano said. “Companies are looking to build the workforce of tomorrow, and the workforce of tomorrow really values some of the things that we in New Jersey take for granted, such as being a great place to raise a family and great school systems.”
foist
I want some of what this guy is smokin’
Dunno, but it’s not made in NJ.
When a business is deciding on a new corporate HQ, factory or any investment that requires a geographic component of choice, they will evaluate the decision by analyzing maybe 20 different variables.
One of those variables is the quality of life available to my workers which includes raising a family and quality of schools. This variable however is probably #18-#19 on the list of variables in terms of importance.
The ability to differentiate in soft variables like this is totally subjective and near impossible to analyze. Additionally, the best possible “family-friendly” area is near identical to the next 10 locations. There is simply no meaningful difference unless you get way out on the bell-curve of choice. Like opening an expensive, private day-care center in Camden is far less appealing than opening one in Westfield.
Yet the folks over at “Choose NJ” are hanging the collective future business growth in NJ on the hope that we are the #1 choice for families/schools. Well, good luck with that.
He said that New Jersey’s well-documented benefits such as its desirable location and highly educated workforce remain attractive to companies despite the state’s current unemployment rate, and, more importantly, its high taxes.
“This region is still the choice region for international companies looking to expand into the US,” Lozano said. “Companies are looking to build the workforce of tomorrow, and the workforce of tomorrow really values some of the things that we in New Jersey take for granted, such as being a great place to raise a family and great school systems.”
To close any sale you need a viable sales pitch or a good line of bullsh1t. The NJ parasites of the public sector need a healthy source in order to feed. The addicted have no intention of weening off the drug. Convince companies that we still have the best and brightest highlighting New Jersey’s past and lock them in to long term deal and then T-bone them with crippling regulations and spine-breaking taxes.

Ahh this quote nails it. Something the members of this blog will never accept….you take living in nj for granted. You obsess over taxes which causes you to ignore all the positives. It’s not until you live somewhere else that you will realize nj offers a lot in terms of quality of life for you and your family.

Look at fast eddie’s post at 7:17 as evidence for focusing on the negatives instead of the positives. It’s unbelievable how taxes take over the mindset of some…it’s their only focus and obsession.
Pumps:You have a spouse that makes a significant income , much more than you make. Were they not the case your perception might be different. You should at least entertain that idea.
Almost 2 years into this situation and my son (inevitably) gets exposed to classmate with COVID. He has been quarantined since 11/30 and school said a online teacher would reach out to 6 kids impacted via Zoom to continue classwork. They said if he tested negative then back to school by 7th. He tested negative on Sunday but now say they made a mistake and can’t go back til 8th. This Zoom teacher apparently was not ready and had to wait. He is finally meeting her for 30m today after a week without any contact. His regular teacher is giving us a week’s worth of printed homework via a printed pack today. Sure, the education system is outstanding Blumpy.
It’s unbelievable how taxes take over the mindset of some
My family were small business owners for 30 years, up until the late 90s when we sold. The insurance and number of regulations then made one dizzy, I can’t imagine what it’s like now, years later. As a so-called teacher (ahem), you’re not exposed to anything related to taxes or regulations. All you need to do is gorge at the trough. Let us know when you start a business.
How many of your birthday parties were considered business expenses over the years? Not saying you did, but plenty have….
“My family were small business owners for 30 years”
It’s a tough situation and they are most likely understaffed. Understand that you only see one side of it, that’s a lot of extra work that you are not getting paid for when you have to deal with students in quarantine. Esp if they have a helicopter parent, but joe public will never understand it. They only see one side of it.

I do own a business. I have been a landlord for over 20 years.
Btw, my brother owns a business as does my brother in law. They don’t obsess over taxes and make their money. Do they enjoy the higher taxes, no, but they know they can’t make the same money in other locations. Hence, why taxes are higher here….it’s because the cost of living is much more. Hence, why the population density of north jersey blows the rest of the country out the door….people are here to make money.

You wanna know how bad remote learning was? My kid’s PSAT scores increased 80 points from last year to this year and is inline with Gators. I scored nicely in math, and like a football player in English. Go figure. He has just started his SAT prep. I am super proud of his performance. This kid works his buns off. Often up till 1 am studying and waking up at 6:30am to review. Then there is hockey season too where his team is just lighting up the creampuff division that he plays in. Next year should be very special for him.

It isn’t one size fits all. Just cause it works for some doesn’t mean it works for all.
I’ve seen plenty that look good on paper, but cannot function in the real world as well.

New economy. What used to be held by bankers, is now held by insanely compensated athletes, social media influencers, and day traders. Sprinkle in crypto and tesla fan boys, and here are your new rich occupations for the time being.
We need to move away from this idea that helping middle class NJ families who have worked hard their whole lives to earn what is probably the single biggest asset they’ll ever own — their home — is somehow a gift to millionaires.

Of course it does. That was my point. What I was trying to explain is that for some, remote learning wasn’t just okay, but it was beneficial to the more socially anxious students.
Sure, blumpy…how about the parent’s side of it? You think WFH is a fad joke but explain what parents are to do? My wife is stay at home so ok here. She basically carried teaching plan, even doing his phys ed outside to keep schedule. I am not b&tching really. This was lite situation but multiply this by thousands of families where parents both have to work in office now. Plenty have kids at home for month. Let me guess – they should all have nanny on hand.
This flies in the face of CRT.

No one in their right mind is going to short at these levels, so the momentum has prob changing and this will be moving up for the time being. Was screaming to buy at anyone that would listen.

This is a really irresponsible. The school system took just about every step to prevent this. Unfortunately, time and parenting was never on their side.
Here’s what really annoys me. The government “intelligence” agencies obviously are monitoring everything we do on some level, Snowden showed that. But they never seem to pick up on kids plotting this, when I’m positive, you bring up his search history, it was obvious. Maybe we need to hold the FBI accountable too and prosecute them? They were alerted to Nicholas Cruz and did absolutely nothing.
Zoom your way to more local taxes. The tick has attached itself to the host and will be draining some blood soon.
Something new is coming to some Zoom Video Communications customer invoices: local taxes.
Zoom (ticker: ZM) has been sending out notifications to customers in four states—California, New York, Maryland, and Virginia—to disclose that starting next month, the company will begin collecting a variety of local taxes that apply to communications services.
California customers were notified that they could be subject to taxes as high as 11%, depending on their specific location. In all five New York City boroughs, Zoom will collect a 2.35% New York City Utility Tax on Zoom communications services to both business and residential customers.

Maybe this will be the start of a new education movement where they stop blaming teachers (im going to fix you movement of past 10 years) and start holding parents accountable.
We know the truth though, holding parents accountable is political suicide. Much easier to blame the teachers.

BRT,
Instead of teaching the Emancipation proclamation, why don’t you suggest to your superiors to teach a class in basic law, why it’s screwed up, and the games they play.
When you are ready to open a “school of hard knocks” let me know. We can get a group of us to teach kids the realities of life that the public schools dare not touch. Get people who “tell it like it is” vs those who teach fairy tales about how it is supposed to work.
Finance, medical, law, marriage, divorce, etc. Rattle those neurons into firing correctly.

Hey Pumpy,
Did your teachers always return your tests to you upside down?
Cause they must have if you actually believe what you just wrote.
Phoenix,
I do tell it like it is in class. But I teach Physics and I don’t like to delve outside of the curriculum outside of teaching them personal responsibility. I can teach them to do is look at data and draw the conclusion from the data. Not, use data to confirm their predetermined conclusion, which I consider mortal sin in data analysis. If their data doesn’t paint the picture we hoped, they have to state that they acknowledge that and come up with reasons as to why that happened. They are also allowed to consult other groups who may have not had the same result. Sometimes, I make them repeat the data collection to verify. Fortunately, Physics is so controlled and well designed that data discrepancies are rare.
My class is often the school of hard knocks in that it’s often one of the first classes where the students are legitimately in danger of scoring below a 60 in a test.
Just remember, when they come for you, don’t resist.
If the prosecutor tries to charge the school employees, as an employee, I would flee the country and claim political asylum.

Pumps: Why do you insist on referencing me in your anti WFH articles, simply because you are terrified that it impacts your personal financial situation, as in you earn a modest income and your wife makes the big bucks.
And again you personally know nothing about WFH and corporate simply because you can’t personally speak to it. You read an article and say hey I am validated . You are a simpleton.
Furthermore when we comment on your profession or any other public sector job, you lecture us on how we know nothing, and should not be commenting on the topic.
And here you are again today like everyday dominating the blog when you should be doing how your job. I asked you last week how many hours a day do you work? Not many based on all your time here.
I will ask you again, post all the anti WFH articles you want, just don’t reference me in your posts.
Oh and as a reminder wait until you see what’s coming next year.

That article based on Israeli intelligence was wild. These guys are very good at what they do.
Progressives hate math, standards and everything objective. Those things undermine the narrative.
They want to believe there are no inherent differences between individuals. That all differences in outcomes are due to systemic inequities. If we could just eliminate standards and deconstruct any institutions that value merit, equality could be achieved.
Straight out of the Marx handbook.
What’s wrong about it? Hit me with some logic. I’ll put my feet up on my desk as I wait, because I guarantee you everyone here who complains about tax money being wasted does so because the voluntary vs involuntary concept I mentioned. Do you know how I know this? It’s because they’ve posted it here many times. Some have also complained about certain private companies; but less often, again for the same reason.

That’s my issue. WTF is the difference between the public or private corruption. You are paying both equally the same whether you realize it or not. You can lie to yourself and categorize it as involuntary and voluntary, but it’s all a part of the same economic system.
You are telling me there is a difference in cost to the economy when a public worker does it as opposed to private? You are telling me public corruption has a different cost from private corruption?
When Bernie scam or enron scam came to light, you think it only hurt the immediate individuals involved with said companies? No, it f’ing hurt every single participant in this economy whether you realize it or not.

A workforce and business are more productive in person.
A centralized location is optimum when it comes to the workforce.
I’m sorry, working at home carries way too many distractions. Most workers can’t control themselves in said environment. Sure, some excel at it, but most don’t. They become less focused, start doing the bare minimum, and lose their sense of company culture.
I had half day today. Just got my booster. You know nothing about my work life. All you need to know is I have a job. The right assumption should be that I do my job because I still have it. Too bad your bias about teachers can’t let you realize that.

Nearly everything we do is scored and compared to others with the idea of promoting individuals who meet the criteria.
I disagree. In the progressive utopian world, everyone gets a pony and a back rub. Keeping score with the potential of eliminating others goes against the diversity, equality and inclusion model. Everyone should be in the talented and gifted group. De Blasio said so. 1 + 1 = 2 only if you feel that it should.
There is a significant contrast between the progressives and liberal in many ways. Which is what bill Maher is talking about.
Liberals value achievement and free speech. Progressives do not.
Biden pretended to be one of them but is being controlled by the other. A trojan horse.
We know, we know. You’ve said it a thousand times. We disagree, and like I said, that’s why fewer people complain about it when it happens in the private sector; and the fact that there’s a much higher chance, but no guarantee, that individuals in the private sector are held accountable vs their public counterparts.
We’re wrong, you’re right. Great call! Happy?

That’s my issue.
I get it, it’s impossible for you guys to give me respect. I get it..
Everyone and their mother was bashing ark funds. I was posting on here for over two weeks that ARKG was the biggest value out of all the ark funds. I said if it goes under 60, you can put the house on it. I said if it hits 50, go all in. Of course, you come and take a dump all over a great call. Shocker!
I make an epic housing call 8 years out, and when it happen, I was lucky. I said wage inflation would return 8 years out, but I was just lucky. I called this roaring 20’s 2.0, but again, just lucky.
I bought an investment property at 19 going on 20. What do you guys say, oh his grams gifted it to him. Now that grim knows my grams and who I am, he clearly knows the truth. I made a great financial move at a young age. Did a hell of a job to myself in position to buy it. Instead, you guys think it was gifted to me. Unreal.
I’m not the smartest guy in the room, but im obviously smart and not just lucky.
“The market goes up for one day and he’s brilliant for knowing what DCA stands for.”
What’s frightening is how much better I understand that corporate business model than the guy telling me I know nothing because I don’t work in corporate.
So when I only work a half day if that, who watches my classes? Who keeps the kids engaged instead of them destroying the room? You can not give kids a second of free time, or they will do bad things. So think what you want.

Key indicators hint the supply-chain crisis is over and inflation will cool off soon
https://www.businessinsider.com/when-will-supply-shortages-end-inflation-cool-shipping-crisis-manufacturers-2021-12
Human nature: sh!t never fails. They hoarded and overproduced. Now is going to slow down in the short term because of the overproduction. People can’t chill out, have to always take it to the extreme.
“A popular leading indicator for business activity suggests the trend will continue into 2022. The Institute for Supply Management’s Chicago Business Barometer showed inventories — how much product businesses hold in reserve — soaring to their highest levels since 2018 in November, with some companies saying they stockpiled goods to counter supply-chain issues. Order backlogs slid 6 points below the 12-month average, and new orders dropped to their lowest level since February.
Put simply, manufacturers are picking up the pace and companies are ordering less from factories. That data join signs of bottlenecks easing in the global supply-chain mess. Transportation issues “were still the greatest constraint within supply chains” last month, but logjams and shipping costs improved from October’s levels, Oren Klatchkin, lead economist at Oxford Economics, said in a Monday note.”
So if it causes stocks to dip, be ready to buy it. The demand will be there once they clear the bs.
For those interested in the non Fox News version of the Iran Israel situation, try this.

It’s also dishonest on your part to not acknowledge the real reason you hate WFH whichis of course fears for your economic security.
As for being a narcissist, sorry I would say that’s an adequate description based on every topic is viewed through how it affects you. You refuse to entertain any difference of opinion. As for ego maniac that last comment I noted indicated you are.
Going forward and as I have offered to you multiple times in the past post a the anti WFH crap you want, just don’t reference me on your posts and that includes references such as “someone on this blog”. It’s a reasonable request, if you don’t honor it I will continue to call you out on this blog, continue to point out why you hate WFH, and continue to comment on the teaching profession.

The Great Raise
The so-called Great Resignation has rocked the U.S. labor market, but it’s just a taste of things to come in the strained relationship between management and workers.
https://apple.news/ARiwmDIUeTKKuR6RNKPMDRg
pumps you don’t understand the corporate model, there typically are not people working 2 hour days, that would be an exceedingly bad company. If that CEO found a few people not working it’s an individual performance problem, when it’s 900 people it’s a culture issue and a management issue, these people should have been weeded out well before they had 900 people only doing 2hrs of work per day. What I’ve noticed is when companies have difficulty retaining employees they are reticent to reprimand because a subpar employee is better than no employee, this is indicative of a management problem. If the shareholders ignore this the company loses. At the end of the day capitalism is pretty good at stomping out inefficiencies, people select the business that offers the best service at the best price typically unless a company occupies a niche space they don’t have all that much room to eat inefficiencies either the co-workers are covering for it or the company is eating the cost.
To use your Home Depot example from before I’d wager the average sale associate there makes significantly less per hr than an NJ MVC clerk while being more courteous and having more knowledge on the products HD sells than the MVC clerk knows about motor vehicle regulations in NJ. If the MVC was a private entity at least half of the employees would be let go.
Fab any “deal” with Iran is cr@p as they cannot be trusted to abide by it. Worse than that throwing an economic lifeline to crumbling regime is a bad idea in any event. At some point secular forces in Iran are going to demand their country back. The Israeli intelligence ops capitalized on this, even at high levels of the Iranian nuclear program the regime is not popular.
“At some point secular forces in Iran are going to demand their country back”
The Shah was deposed over 40 years ago. In what timeframe do you see this happening? I would propose a bet but :
A) I have never had a bet paid out here and I have won a few!
B) In the timeframes you would need to win that, I would not want to put that burden onto my future grandkids to try and collect from yours!
But if you can come up with some other measure?

Funny thing about Home Depot is that you will find a lot of GCs or their spouses working there part time. Its one of the few places that allow PT to buy health care, so they are working there for the most part just to cover the health care nut. They take home a paycheck of pennies or in some months, write a check to the firm.

There are huge segments of the Iranian population who want the hardliners gone, even strict muslims, a lot of people over there probably would prefer their country look like Dubai instead of what it is now. Taking a hardline against the west has been terrible for the population at large. When they deposed the Shah they were expelling a regime that was corrupt and abusive, the only problem was the regime that replaced it was worse. It’s similar in that respect to Battista’s overthrough in Cuba, people were happy he was gone but after the Castro regime tightened down many had buyers remorse.

Ed – A question about Hunter gets asked at probably every press conference, she always answers he is not an employee of the federal government. The second part of the question the tweet she was not an employee at the time either it was pre-election.
But the tweet was a good one at the time. Deep state published this pre-election, she just retweeted the MSM lies at the time about the laptop. Same lies and disinformation garbage that got recycled over and over a few weeks before the election. Again Giuliani uncovered a coverup, he may have been an old drunken crazy coot but he was on to something.

Might as well put a cork in it, no indictment were sent down, the whole tax evasion issue is being slow walked in the IRS, about as slow as a Gitmo detainee trial. Might be 8 years before he even pays back taxes and a fine, probably after his old man is either taking a dirt nap (from natural causes) or out of office and can no longer protect him.

Apparently “pull” is the fake news word for “read”?
Maybe you are sensitive to the availability of the books that demonstrate finer points of performing minor s3x acts but I’m fully be behind eliminating any of the crt 1619 alternate history narrative. It’s propaganda masquerading as history. It has no place in schools. Neither does the pedo stuff.
I guarantee you these urgent care test centers are spreading it. We have to continuously get my kids tested the instant one of them coughs because the school demands it otherwise they aren’t allowed back in. The center we go to, they stick you in a waiting room with at least a dozen other, some times up to 20 people. I’ve been through this at least 7 times now. We don’t really care as we’ve all been infected, but had I not been, this is the way to ensure transmission occurs.
I think Psaki is talented and good at what she does.
Pretty similar to what my brother described last week trying to get a rapid test at an urgent care, as well as the ER at St. Joes in Paterson where we took my dad. ER waiting room was packed shoulder to shoulder. They didn’t bother trying to get the angry homeless people to actually wear a mask properly. My dad wasn’t the only covid positive there, and he wasn’t separated in any way. About an hour or hour and a half after he actually got into the ER, someone put a sign up on the curtain. My brother said he disrobed outside and threw his clothes away when he got home, took a shower in his outside shower in the cold.
Except she really cannot move the needle for Biden.
Did you see this story this week? Biden’s people have to beg for good coverage and claim he is being treated in the Media worse than Trump!!! Hhahahahahahahah….
The Washington Post on December 3 published an op ed by columnist Dana Milbank entitled: ‘The media treats Biden as badly as — or worse than — Trump’
The column sparked questions about media coverage of Biden, and on Monday Milbank appeared on CNN to argue that Biden was being treated unfairly
On Tuesday evening it emerged that the White House had dispatched a team of three people to speak to newsrooms and encourage more favorable coverage
The three – NEC Deputy Directors David Kamin and Bharat Ramamurti, along with Ports Envoy John Porcari – have embarked on a PR campaign, CNN reported
Some on social media agreed that coverage of Biden was unfair and the news organizations were just hunting for sensationalism, but others laughed it off
Grim,
I went for my flu (regular) shot at the Glen Ridge Pharmacy after calling and asking if there was a wait. Every place else now requires appointments two weeks out or more. Why? Because everyone is in full panic testing and booster mode. Well, Gator and I get to pharmacy and wait 15 minutes with about 20 other people to be told our insurance doesn’t cover it (which is not true, but they probably mixed us in with the booster pile). We abruptly left as too many others were there for testing and it was too small of a space. I will get my flu shot with my annual physical next week.
Biden’s people have to beg for good coverage and claim he is being treated in the Media worse than Trump!!!
Yeah, saw numerous references to it lately. Hilarious. The administration is the worst in our lifetime, nothing is working; the rhetoric and symbolic bullsh1t doesn’t mask people’s pockets or the unleashed crime waves or the sieve at the southern border or foreign affairs failures or forever covid or rampant inflation or uncoupled energy prices or simply for the fact that we have a demented person who sh1ts his pants as a muppet puppet president. Any media coverage would be laughed at for producing satire disguised as news.

WWE Legend Dave Bautista has broken an inside secret about Donald Trump from WrestleMania 23 that the President of the United States had to wear a diaper when being involved in the ring with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Juice. Completely unprecedented in America where we’re supposed to have freedom of press.
Almost daily a new line is crossed by the administration and it’s received barely a shrug. Okeefe is a journalist and is being targeted. Period.
On top of that the fbi, who has been reduced to an political hit group, also leaked okeefes conversations with his lawyers over his nytimes lawsuit, which theoretically weakens his case. It’s all surreal. The nkvd was less partisan.
Pfizer’s Covid booster jab triggers a 25-fold increase in antibody levels against Omicron, company said today….
So I am good now for what another three weeks?
How close are we to holding people indefinitely without charges or due process like the Soviets did? Oh, people at the January 6 to riots? We already are.
Antibody levels against wild-type. They just hope it works against Omicron. At some point, we need to look at the data. We have so much of this population vaxxed, we have kids wearing masks, yet the numbers are approaching the levels we saw last year in terms of cases. We are seeing almost no correlation between vaccination levels and infection rates for the population. We are seeing much less death. But again, that could mean two possible things. Either it’s preventing death, or it took out the majority of the vulnerable in the first 2 waves. It could also be a combination of the two.
What people don’t realize is that your immune system works kinda like a bank account. You are draining it’s resources by continually jabbing. You don’t spend the money in the bank if you might need it later.
People who have recovered have the advantage. Their body is able to produce a broader spectrum of antibodies to recognize the multiple proteins the virus has. Diversity is our strength!
re: “How Close”
In modern history we started doing it 20 years ago. Go watch “Forever Prisoner” on HBO.
Nice first hand accounts from those that actually waterboarded and and developed the program, as well as all of the lawyering and political lying that allowed us to do it and continue to do it today, including a current Military lawyer who is still dealing with those at Gitmo.

I’ll tell you what…I can’t get rid of this cold I am getting every week for the past 3 weeks. Overcrowded dirty school is not fun. I’m super healthy too, and do 4-5 hiit workouts a week.
We hit 1.5m boosted in NJ, which is a positive.
No Fair, No Fair they cry on the playground….it’s not REAL reporting…They are fake reporters!!!! The the FBI, DOJ, and established media like the NY Times don’t like O’Keefe as he has found a way to get past their walls of bull by playing the confidence game. Veritas uses fake profiles and attractive young people both straight and gay to get interviews by using dating apps to target people from MSM and government go on these dates, drink too much and spill the beans because they think that they are going to hook up or whatever. Veritas has also gone as far to get legal advise on how to do it without violating the law, like lying to a federal official etc. The established media believes undercover journalism was and still is unacceptable that is why they “support” the efforts of the FBI and DOJ to shut them down.
BRT,
Not disagreeing with you. But our guard is nearly completely down. Last year at this time, people wouldn’t even stand within ten feet of each other (well adults that is). Forget restaurants, concerts, movies, sporting events, etc. This year, besides in the schools, masks are not warn at least 90% of the time that they were worn a year ago.
Yes, lots of variables are at play. But none will have a more damaging impact than our choice to not physically separate and perhaps to not wear masks.
Collecting data on this is pretty much impossible.
re: booster.. I wish I was not joking about the time decay. Studies say it’s only good for four weeks before immunity starts to decline….Not good for Grandma. She is not allowed to go shopping.
And Gator and I couldn’t find a safe place to get our regular flu shot. We should have done it weeks ago. I just signed up to get one at my annual physical next week. Everyplace that says that take walkins is completely inundated with covid testing, and boosters. I guess they don’t make quite as much money off of the regular flu shot than from the exorbitant amount of money I can only imagine the government is paying due to warp speed pricing.

I disagree. Around Columbus day last year, everyone decided it was over with the massive indoor gatherings I saw. They got scared again around Thanksgiving as it came back. But what I saw was that Christmas season and shopping made all fears go out the window. I’m sure there is some correlation, but unfortunately, it’s very low.

Meanwhile, I see cars and boats with pro-DeSantis stickers and flags in FL. Seems like people were awfully quick to scrape off what few Biden stickers existed. Also rarely seen in my part of FL – those virtue signaling rainbow flags or signs with the “love is love, science is real, BLM, etc”

Remember when people were calling for DeSantis to be arrested for murder when FL covid infection went up in mid-summer, and NY and NJ chauvinists were acting so superior? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Where are the calls for Murphy and the gang to get locked up for this area’s rising stats?
They are both shitbags.
There, now it’s easy.
So when do the pitchforks come for the nurses?
They did. So what happened is the talented people walked. After being told they are worthless and being abused, they walked. And no, they didn’t quit because they weren’t good workers, but if you are going to be abused anyway, you might as well do it for three times what you were paid before.
Because unlike you Pumpy, there is no “pot of gold” at the end of the rainbow for them.
There is no pension. Imagine working at a hospital where the doctors you work with all day won’t take your health insurance? Pumpy what you get is 100x better than what most hospitals provide, plus you pay plenty for it. Reading a thread on FB with all of the Atlantic health workers complaining about it.
Do you work every other weekend Pumpy? When it’s your time to go home and the school bell rings are they chaining you to the radiator in your classroom telling you that you can’t leave and you are “legally” abandoning your “student?” Do you then have to figure out how to pick up your child from daycare, or do you leave when the bell rings and hop into your car parked outside?
How many Holidays do you work Pumpy? Are you told, sorry, we don’t have any staff so you can’t have summer vacation? No Pumpy, you are not. You twinkle your toes all summer at the Wayne Community Pool doing pushups letting all the ladies know how often you go to the gym. You have time to flex.
Oh, and you poor teachers, so afraid of Covid. You don’t even have a clue as to what being exposed to biological hazards are. Our minimum wage housekeepers clean bloody rooms all day, never fail, show up and don’t Zoom to work. Yet you cry.
Good for them. I hope they can get even more on the next contract.

Phoenix,
Good for the nurses.
I wasn’t putting them down, I’m just saying the angry team red guys are going to come for them with pitchforks.
The same thing will happen with teachers. No one is coming into this field anymore, it’s a slow trickle. People are just like the nurses, fed up with the disrespect, crap pay, and endless attacks. So eventually no one is going to do it, and I do believe we are at that point. All those teachers that were protesting 2 years ago were the start of a movement of exodus from this field.
It’s funny how we justify labor compensation for jobs. There is no rhyme or reason to it. Nurses and teachers are fields based predominately on women, so they were taken advantage of for decades. Doing all the work, but not getting paid for it. Well, it’s 2022, and these fields are done being taken advantage of it seems.
I don’t have a parking lot at my school. I walk 5-7 blocks to park. I look at it as a good 7-10 mins of exercise. Perks of the job.
“Do you then have to figure out how to pick up your child from daycare, or do you leave when the bell rings and hop into your car parked outside?”
Parking lot.
That’s all you got?
Defense rests.
Lib, I’ll definitely concede that there are differences in human behavior. But at the same time, with the vax numbers so high, our health authorities were predicting almost non-existent transmission months ago. Either way, it’s impossible to resolve the positive effects with respect to vaccination from the case data.

Oh okay, lol.
Are you sitting in a room all day with no heat?
Have you ever had a student attack you, digging their nails into your skin on your arms till you are bleeding…all because you tried to stop him from attacking another student? Won’t hear about that in the newspapers.
Poor Bitsy.
UBS don’t need you no more.

Pumps,
You ever been attacked by an Alzheimer patient, or punched by a 300 lb guy waking up from anesthesia?
Or breaking up fights in the ER with Gang members?
You ever work in a burn room where the temp is up all day to keep the patient safe, or work in a room where they keep it so cold so the bone cement doesn’t harden too quickly?
Wanna keep playing?
You have a pension.
You have every weekend off.
You work 7-3 and go home when the bell rings.
You never work Thanksgiving, or New Years, or Christmas.
You don’t have to choose your vacation, if you can be given one, based on seniority for years, only later to have your company decide-after you have put years in, seniority no longer applies.
You have gold plated health insurance with 5 dollar co-pays.
You get an additional week off Mid Winter, where you can go with your family to Disney.
Not sure who said this, but it rings true.
“It’s hard to win an argument with a smart person, but it’d damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person.”
Try being stuck with those gang members in a classroom and being expected to improve their test scores.
Lol, at the end of the day, both of our jobs are not desirable. Wish the pay reflected it.
Honestly, I might rather be a nurse than be stuck with gang members in a classroom all day everyday and be expected to improve their scores. Kids are not easy to deal with, esp this day and age.
At the end of the day, we both have tough jobs.
Phoenix: You forgot a week for Spring Break. Just saying.
I am salaried. I don’t get summers off. My contract is from sept to june. So don’t act like I get paid summer’s off. They are unpaid. Lame argument.
So the perks of my job are days off, health insurance, and a pension I might not get. That health insurance costs close to 11k in cash. What is a teacher left with after the pension payment and health insurance payment?
You guys are jealous of a regular job. Why aren’t you teachers then? Why?!! If it’s so damn good, then do it. What is stopping you? Switch careers like EX did and go do it.
Pumps,
I’d take an “unpaid” summer. Most of my colleagues would.
Just to have a mental health break. We don’t even get that as an option. We can’t even get an unpaid weekend these days.
And to answer your other question, you just might get some new people in your profession that are in mine, very young, and want to live the life you do.
Prepare to wait even longer in the ER.
And Pumps,
As far as the unpaid weeks, this is how it’s going to go now.
13 week contracts. 7k per week.
Skip the weeks containing the months June, July and August.
Live like a teacher.

Pretty similar to what my brother described last week trying to get a rapid test at an urgent care, as well as the ER at St. Joes in Paterson where we took my dad. ER waiting room was packed shoulder to shoulder. They didn’t bother trying to get the angry homeless people to actually wear a mask properly. My dad wasn’t the only covid positive there, and he wasn’t separated in any way. About an hour or hour and a half after he actually got into the ER, someone put a sign up on the curtain. My brother said he disrobed outside and threw his clothes away when he got home, took a shower in his outside shower in the cold.

Phoenix, it’s interesting that a wealth management consultant lives in a shitty apartment. What does that say about the advice business.
Phoenix,
I gave up my life to work at a young age. The summer of 99 when i was 19, I was working 70 hr weeks or more on avg. Had one day off that entire summer including weekends. That’s why I went into teaching. I learned early that all jobs suck, so try to develop passive income and get a job where you have weekends off.
I gave away some of the best years of my life. While my friends were on spring break going to Cancun, I was working my a$$ off. I then paid for college myself and had 3 jobs while in college. Im not sorry about living the life I have built for myself, I made it happen, it didn’t fall in my lap.
I also will defend teachers because I know it’s a tough job. I hate people that disrespect it, thinking it’s easy because you have summers off and a pension. It’s a mentally challenging job that takes a toll on you if you let it get to you. Dealing with some broken kids and that’s not easy year in and year out.

RL,
Some apartments aren’t that shitty. I don’t know about hers. But if she is still supporting her son that might have something to do with it. Is she married? Many women don’t want to bother with the “man things” of owning a home. They want convenience. Not all but some.
I don’t know that industry- but it does seem very cut-throat from the comments I have read on here.
Yes, but a teacher is not making 28k a month. You get summers off from school, but you still have to work summers or gigs after school. That’s the part people forget.
I’m fortunate to not have to work summers anymore, but I did it for a long time.

Desantis is fine. His star is rising.
He managed covid as well as anyone. He’ll be on the right side when the dust settles for not forcing people to stick a worthless shot in their arm. And all the other half measures that didn’t work like the fake mask protections.

I’ll cut off your inheritance:
“President Joe Biden on Wednesday revealed he threatened Vladimir Putin with ‘economic consequences like none he’s ever seen’ if the Russian president invades the Ukraine. ‘I was very straightforward. There were no minced words. It was polite, but I made it very clear. If in fact, [Putin] invades Ukraine , there will be severe consequences, economic consequences like none he’s ever seen or ever have been seen being imposed”
Populism, folks! Any questions?
I feel like I’m in the movie “Idiocracy” with statements like this. Worthless? You should not be allowed to have one, no idea why they are pushing it on fools like you.
“settles for not forcing people to stick a worthless shot in their arm.”
Seriously, start a campaign against vaccines. That’s how you destroy this populist movement. Let them get sick and die. Freedom!!
I thought the virus was harmless and vaccines don’t work. So what did phil do wrong?
“Liberty over tyranny forever. In the other hand Phil and his retirement home slaughter have done explaining to do.
The propaganda people pretend like it never happened.”
Liquidating the sick and elderly was a mistake in a lot of people’s minds. I guess he never heard of a sanitarium before. But no worries. He’s going to investigate what happened. He said so during the campaigning and I’m sure the fake news will hold him to it.
Some people might recall that the DeSantis vaccine rollout was a bit more science based than the NJ one. They gave shots pretty strictly in order of age. Not like the way NJ let younger teachers and assorted govt leechers jump the line, along with the self-diagnosed. Remember those good old days of watching screens for 60 minutes to see if you were ahead of your neighbors in the various shot lotteries where you all lied about your conditions to get in?
While that was still going on in NJ, the most at risk oldest people in FL were walking into their local drugstore and supermarket for shots. While the news establishment freaked out about young people daring to walk on the open-air beaches in FL, since the superior scientists in California had decided that beaches and surfing must be banned, for no rational reason at all, because crowding together out of public sight is so much safer than open air and sunlight.
Pumpkin,
I still cannot stand you overall, but I admire this about you, which I didn’t know before. But don’t call it “giving away your life”. You made an investment in your long term future, foregoing short term pleasures for longer term happiness, and it paid off. I did something similar, for even more years, and I got an even bigger long term payback on my self-investment and deferred gratification choices. There are papers suggesting that willingness to invest in your own skills and to choose deferred gratification are among the most powerful indicators of lifetime incomes – much more powerful than race/sex and the usual complaints.

Phoenix – Not trying to judge the women’s lifestyle. But if I am getting wealth management advice from an apartment dweller in TN, I am getting the wrong advice.
“President Joe Biden on Wednesday revealed he threatened Vladimir Putin with ‘economic consequences like none he’s ever seen’ if the Russian president invades the Ukraine.
As Putin chuckles, grabs cr0tch and says, “Right here, pal.”
“No blood for Burisma!”
Will not be chanted by the usual anti-military suspects this time around.
I wonder if Biden managed to read his script for the Putin call all in one take.
It’s a tough problem to deal with. The US and its allies don’t want Russia to conquer Ukraine, but will it really bother us that much if they do? The Dems hardly ever complained about a USSR-controlled Ukraine for decades. The NY Times paid a guy to cover up their starvations after the revolution.
But if the US draws a line in Ukraine and then lets Russia leap over it, what signal does that send to China about more strategically important allies like Taiwan, S. Korea, and Japan? Biden should be more careful about where he draws lines to preserve some credibility.
Imagine if it was the other way around, they would cry that they have to pay 6 times as much as others. How do these people live with themselves. Total selfish behavior, and then they wonder why people hate the rich.
“In the ten states with the most regressive tax structures, the lowest 20% pay up to six times as much of their income in taxes as their wealthy counterparts”
“Let’s set the record straight. 80k cap was a compromise! There should be no cap. Why? Because it’s only burdening the most progressively taxed states and difficult to afford places. We aren’t a piggy bank for the 45 states not impacted. #UncapSALT
If your state wants to burden your poor, has a lower cost of living, or decides not to invest locally; it’s not our states fault! If you want to invest more to take the deduction, you could!”

No one,
Thank you for acknowledging hard work and sacrifice.
No one: Putin in my opinion does not want to conquer Ukraine he does not want them to join NATO or be equipped by NATO. And from his perspective I understand.
Also the west especially the US does not understand Russia or Ukraine and the complicated history. Putin takes Crimea back and the west is outraged, yet Crimea was never part of Ukraine. The Russians took it from the Ottoman Turks to stop the pirates who were using it as a port to conduct slave trade in Russian/ Ukrainian lands, and because Catherine the great wanted a warm see port for Russia. Khrushchev the premier of the Soviet Union in the 1950s symbolically gave it to Ukraine, as a Birthday present I believe. When the Soviet Union collapsed , Yeltsin was pressured by the west to accept the borders of the former Soviet Republics as they were. The communists arbitrarily changed borders during their 70 odd years in power, and of course never expected the Soviet
Union would some day collapse.
Putin wanted Crimea back and of course the Ukrainians would not agree so he took it. Not nice of course but he did it. What is today eastern Ukraine was also historically Russian but with Ukrainians as well as Greeks and Germans and others. Historic Ukraine is in the west and was the lands ruled by Poland and Austria Hungary. Lviv in western Ukraine was historically Polish (removed at the end of WW2) but the surrounding areas were overwhelming Ukrainian. From a practical point western Ukraine should be the independent country, and large portions of Eastern Ukraine should be part of Russia. I am sure many Ukrainians would disagree, but just my observation. My point in all this boring detail is that it’s not as cut and dry as the West makes it out to be. Russia is an old and proud country, and Putin is an ardent Russian nationalist, and feels Russia was humiliated by the West when the Soviet Union ended; which in my opinion it was.
Ukraine has struggled since independence and is corrupt whether Ukrainian nationalists are running the country or the pro Russian faction in Ukraine.
Putin’s end game in my view keep Ukraine out of NATO and in the Russian sphere and possibly officially annex big chunks of the east. I don’t think he wants to absorb and annex the entire country.
Is it normal for urban teachers to physically intervene in matters of student-on-student violence?
I would imagine that the school district policy would be for a teacher to hit the “red button” in the classroom or otherwise advise security/in-school-police. I’m surprised a school district would permit a non-security staff member to touch a student, unless it was literally to save a life, happens once per decade type of event.
I have stepped in between two large fellows as they squared off in one of my classes.
It is the girls you want to steer clear of when they fight.
2:50 you want to do wuuuuuuuuut to Putin’s crotch….??
Rt up to 1.36 from 1.31
Highest it’s been in a whiiiile.
I used to break up like 5 fights a day. I no longer have caf duty, so I don’t have to break up as many fights.
You are a punk and don’t belong in urban teaching if you don’t have the guts to stop a fight. What are you going to watch someone get their ass kicked? Yes, there are some POS teachers that do exactly what you said…hit the red button and run the other way. You have no ethics or values if you turn your back on a fight.
The best is when resource police officers watch you break up the fight. They claim if they get involved, they have to arrest them. Lame excuse. Would boil my blood when they did that. I’m like you are getting paid how much more than me?!

You are not kidding. They never stop. They also never let go of the hair. Just pulling it out.
I once had to hold off a 250lb kid for 2 mins. Desks flying, and the other students just run in the corner. Im begging them to hit the red button. No one did. Took 3 security guards and one VP to hold him down in his rage. How I survived those two long minutes is beyond me. Just glad a security officer was walking by and heard the desks and chairs flying.

Ex: Ignorant comment on your part especially as a teacher. You would think one would want to understand the complexities of a subject rather than make a sophomoric comment about Putin’s crotch. Just because you think Putin and Trump are buddies and you hate Trump and therefore Putin, you should at least appreciate the complexity of the subject rather then dismissive. I would expect more from a teacher perhaps I shouldn’t.
Ex: My apologies you were commenting on a different post. My mistake.

Goooood Day Sir.

Then why make crotchless panties? Aren’t they for crotchless humans?
Phoenix: East access to the crotch.
Well, maybe a hip disarticulation would be considered crotchless depending on how much of the pelvis is taken out.
Phoenix: I had a hip replacement this past June. It’s amazing what surgeons can do. Just a couple of thin scratches where they did the incision. Off topic of course. What is hip disarticulation?
Phoenix: Just looked it up, sounds awful!
