You were....the world was a much better place in my opinion

...or from going broke before the government finally pays the little that they probably will pay. I'm just guessing here, but this is what I'm assuming their gripe is.

Well, if there's no payment from the government, I understand why they'd protest. Are they expected to pay for the medicine and care for what I'm assuming is millions of patients who can't afford insurance?

I'm just a worker, I wish I could solve the problems but our politicians aren't helping and we're largely overlooked. Thanks for responding in such a civil manner. I really enjoyed our chat and your outlook. Have a nice weekend:)

I don't mind and thankyou 😀

I work in highrise construction and little by little non-union is taking over. It has unfortunately been on the fast track the past few years largely due to the unlimited, cheap workforce that the non-union companies have now. They pay these people very little and they don't het benefits but they don't know what the real cost of living is here yet and we're losing all of the rights and legitimate pay that the union members fought for all of these years. Many friends have lost their homes and I was even out of work for 6 months last year after working every day through covid. I just think that it's wrong to give away freely what others have made as their career and take advantage of the situation. When you get free room and board, the money they make may seem like a lot. I know when I was out of work, I still had to pay rent, etc. I kissed the unemployment gravy train, I got laid off the month after the bonus money stopped when the rest of the people went back to work. Yeah I'm bitter, I don't like it. I think we should also care about what happens to our own life long residents but that's not what happens.

Very well said :)

How do we know they even needed help? I'm asking an honest question. Since we're no longer using the usual methods of bringing in immigrants and we're just taking anyone who walks in, who's to say they weren't doing just fine and they heard about the free ride and are taking it?

The sad thing is that people can't even have a conversation about this. Do you think that unlimited numbers of people can come here and we can still thrive? There's always a tipping point with everything, that's all I'm saying so throw your tantrums, downvote all you want but you're just offended by the word liberal so maybe I shouldn't have led with that but the facts remain the same, we can only withstand so much, our economy is already failing in NY and the Mayor has already spoken about there not being enough money for basic services very soon if things continue this way.

Did you even read the article or are you just being ignorant in your response?

Liberals are trying and succeeding at breaking this country. Before you go crazy with downvotes just think for a moment. How lomg do you think we can sustain this influx of dependents? Eventually too much is too much, the dam breaks and everything is washed away......
