Give or -- they are thinking you have you've got in this morning. Good David there's a lot of people you heard the stories I've heard the stories -- that these people -- in I've I've met somebody yesterday suffered the job lost. What would you do to to get back on the horse how do you restart your career if you if you've lost your job and you're having a tough time finding one. When knocked down inept innocent countless cases. It's a mental anxiety a lot of people approach it from a victim mentality instead -- when they lose their job you're like why. This that they spend more time on the question why -- happened -- port city part of that question and they give reasons they find reasons or expand dwelling on that one part and then what ends up happening they're losing precious time. But they could team developing new relationships networking moving into giving you skills. So he's been so much how long wind blows me that they missed the opportunity. Let in its present -- some time. Yet but here's the thing like I've had this occur and I think junior maybe even had a friend where this occurred where they said. You know I got a job offer but by the time I paid my transportation costs and atomic pay for child care I I could thank you I was going to be meek and very much money. And it's so they turn down jobs. For that reason. It is the town that is not the best thing that it because you're winner carried on the job and turn them as opportunities they're basically saying I I don't want that I want it goes on. But what they -- in this and then you're not gonna be in the position for ever. So I haven't always been dark horse and I worked some very minimal skills that will paint job and it what's the worst job yet. Well. Hold chip and knocked it in the -- junk is Jews are told me or worse job -- at a restaurant that. You use a lousy week. It was not my first job was I can't decide -- moving furniture working as a dishwasher so what was your. Well personally and that they -- the labor law. When I was the -- and we fallen on hard times. Mother lost. My father was gone my brother had a bullet in -- will be responsible for the whole house. So I worked for the labor pool on the weekend. And this was the place where you literally the kind of drive up. You know on the truck and he god -- on the truck he don't know what you gonna be in the course. And I like they had the illegal aliens in front of The Home Depot today. Yeah absolutely absolutely and -- and it was a hard job but the thing about it and this is the interest in part that could attitude about it. So the -- as always you know they were always we can't bring me back artwork that it yet but here's the other day. Because I didn't cry about it in the plane had -- try to go hide out on the job site with a lot of people do that I think it you know this is an opportunity I've been given a great opportunity -- -- -- to vote in the best I can't and it -- promotion. So loud -- forming when they took -- -- like it. And that was. It's true it is truly you -- which are successful. But what impact has entitlement programs hat because it seems like you've got. You've got a lot of people on food stamps she got a lot of people on welfare you have you know record numbers of people on unemployment insurance and. You know I've got to believe that that is keeping people. From the workforce AA like in my opinion if he if he didn't have unemployment if you don't have food stamps and all these welfare programs. I think you'd have a lot of Americans taking the jobs that are currently occupied -- illegal aliens. It you know that -- the social welfare programs they become able. And unfortunately some people use that system they can only and they say -- they on these stamps will risk my life and you know kind of like -- I wanna go work. And the thing about it is the issue about the -- You know -- Rather go work and killed in week out inhabit government. And it -- this. You know we are in the minority. They get at that worked that work ethic does not exist in the United States -- No indication because. That would lead as great as America that's what makes this great American could still people out it is still all that they were losing our great you know. I'm in the minority in net -- Eight the year I -- it it would seem that. You know the -- this this pendulum -- towards social where welfare programs has created an environment where people. Would radical on welfare then they go out and and take -- menial job as a dishwasher is a labor you said you -- -- was a day laborer. You know think about they obviously it's it cruised EC around in the construction crews C east serum many of those jobs are occupied by illegals. And that's fortunate because -- Spain there again is just some reason I don't know how it's gotten in on the heavily we've become an entitlement. A society where Eric I believe that someone owes them something into the quickly don't know if you. How do you shake that mentality you're if you came from a disadvantaged background lets -- didn't graduate high school he just barely graduated high school you don't have a college degree.
