I'm not trying to be a smarta$$ here, but (in my experience anyway) several of the things on this list are true whether you are single or in a relationship. I'll grant that if you are in a controlling or abusive relationship that many of these absolutely apply, but in a loving and respectful relationship I think just about all of these are still present.
I would have to say I have been depressed since my husband of 35 years passed away in 2010. I can't shake it completely but I do somewhat cope. I live with a son who is chronically depressed and that makes it harder on me to deal with my own depression. I hope if any of you are depressed or live with someone who is that something good will happen to take this issue out of your life.
Listen to the employees of the following companies after the great Trump tax cut:
1. Pfizer: set to save billions from the tax cut is laying cutting 300 research jobs. Research that was working on Alzheimers and Parkinsons.
2. At&t: cutting 4,000 jobs
3. Kimberly Clark (Kleenex & Huggies and more) closing 10 factories and laying off more than 5,000 workers
4. Comcast: fired 500 employees while gaining over 12 billion due to the tax cut
5. Harley Davidson: Who Paul Ryan used as an example to promote the the tax plan saying they would be able to give
raises and hire more employees. They have plans to close the Kansas City plant, firing 800 people and have plans
open a plant in Thailand.
6. Carrier who Trump and Pence said it was a great day in America when the tax cut was announced and they said it
keep the plant in Indiana. One year later with it's corporate tax rate slashed Carrier laid off 215 employees and
those jobs went to Mexico where workers earn $3.00 an hour.
There are many more major companies that have followed the same as the above, all while shareholders are getting big payoffs.
I don't see it as Country Girl does where people don't want to work, all of these people who lost their jobs WANT to work. Do you know what it's like to be 55-60 years old and have to begin looking for a new job? I do, it's not easy. They won't tell you it's due to your age but you know inside, it is. Not all unemployed people "don't want to work and want a paycheck".
The tax cuts are a good thing. If YOU want to give more money to the government then by all means mail them a check every month. I personally saw my paycheck go up quite a bit.
I stand behind my orig comment. Most of the people who are unemployed and just can't find a job any where are not looking for a job anywhere. A few years ago the preacher at the church I went to was huffing about his daughter (who was and still is a criminal) and she couldn't find a job and she had looked EVERYWHERE. I promptly told him Taco Bell is hiring. He snarls his face and said "she is not working at Taco Bell". Well then don't say she has tried everywhere because she hasn't. She has tried the places that she wants to work. Or places that paid more than the wages she was worth. When you had no education, no skills, and have an arrest history longer than your arm you cannot expect to get a really good job. Not going to happen.
I will never understand how people can complain about their paychecks going up. smh. That just does not make sense.
Well, she (or anyone) doesn't HAVE to like any particular person or group. A person doesn't HAVE to like black people or white people or Christians or Atheists or Muslims or LGBTQ or women or men or liberals or conservatives. But it's better for everyone if you keep that to yourself. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.
I stopped watching/reading the news and I quit all my social media accounts, because I'm so tired of everyone tearing everyone else down. The internet has really exposed how savage people can be.
Freedom of speech means just that. You have the freedom of speech. I can say whatever I want to say. Saying if you do not like someone to keep it to yourself is denying freedom of speech. I do not have to like you. I can voice that. Does not mean you have the right to get me fired from my job. No, saying bad stuff about other people is not right but neither is a lot of other stuff going on in this world.
I have seen it happen personally where some whine bag got mad because someone said something negative about her business. The comment made was completely true. And it wasn't posted online or anything like that. Just a simple comment made about something witnessed in her store. SO she runs her mouth and ends up getting the person fired from her job. Boils down to money talks. And the two businesses had nothing to do with each other. She just knew where the other person worked and went to her superiors and basically told them I want her fired or I will not do business with you any longer so they gave her what she wanted.
People are just down right evil.
I've never heard of this before. I'll have to check it out. I haven't been to a salon in many years. I use a Flowbee to cut my own hair.
How is the flowbee I ALWAYS wanted to try that?
