Search Results: jobs to work

I am completely burned out.

Ever since I was a kid, I was passionate about careers. For a long time, my career was a huge part of my identity, but having worked 25+ jobs and not being able to hold a job down for at least a year, it really just unmotivated me.

It isn't just going to work and working hard anymore. You always have those co-workers or middle management that throw you under the bus. You have to navigate through all the workplace politics and drama with colleagues. You have to appease your co-workers and deal with micromanagement and co-workers that want to boss you around so they get promoted. There is also this emphasis on being the right "personality fit".

I have already changed careers once. My industry has been decimated and is now oversaturated. I am just tired at this point, and I have been happier lately collecting NEETbux (social security disability). I get $1,800 a month after deductions!

My agenda would be somewhat straight forward. As the head of the Executive branch, I'd require that all prisons and jails become self sufficient. The biggest problem we have today is the inability to enforce laws due to overcrowding. The incarceration system should not land on the back of taxpayers. The solution should be forced labor from the inmates.

Once that has been addressed, many other problems start falling into place. I don't agree with an open boarder. It needs to be controlled. At the same time, the U. S. should be a country that embraces leagal immigration. I'd work with the department of immigration and naturalization to streamline the process as much as possible. To those, however, that break our laws by crossing the boarder illegally -- they should be arrested and not sent back to the country of origin -- at least not right away. Place them within a federal prison and force them to work. Look, building a wall is just a bad idea. Make the laws accomplish what a wall cannot.

Health care has always been a concern. I like the President Obama's Affordable Care Act. There needs to be more teeth in it though. Allow there to be health care available to everyone, based upon their living wage. Then enforce it. If one is caught without health care, just as driving without insurance, allow Congress to establish punishment which may include incarceration.

The minimum wage needs to be addressed; and this is a touchy subject. We need to be a structured society that encourages growth. One should not be accepting of trying to make a living on minimum wage. They should be encouraged to better themselves. To me, raising the minimum wage just reduces the value of the dollar. We should lower the minimum wage, not raise it. Then offer student loans to encourage growth. And then don't forgive the dept -- make the student pay the loan back when they get a better job.

So what do you think of my platform? What would you do different?
