Ferguson: Build Our Shops Back Or Else!!!

in other words... 6 years of Obama has destroyed any opportunity they had..

46% unemployment... a real example of Obama's jobless recovery..
So much for CBS’s introduction. Cut to the interviews conducted by Mark Strassman who was in Ferguson. Strassman started out by noting the unemployment rate in Ferguson for black males ages 22 – 24 is a staggering 46%.

As I listened to his interview with three young black men, it was hard not to see the irony of them complaining about the lack of opportunity in a town where countless businesses were just looted.

And it was sad and frustrating to realize these men, with their tattoos, large diamond earrings, and an unprofessional manner of speech appeared to have little insight into how these factors impact one’s chances of being hired.

In addition, at the end of the interview, Strassman spoke with John Vons (I’m not sure I heard Strassman pronounce the last name correctly, so I apologize if I got it wrong), a former gang member who serves “as a bridge between protestors and the police.” Vons spoke about various entry level skills people in the community have such as cleaning, painting, mowing lawns, and the like. He ended by saying: “Give us those jobs. Set it up to where we can get those jobs.”

I could feel Von’s frustration and perhaps even desperation. It’s awful to be able-bodied, willing to work, but unable to find a job. At the same time, I was puzzled as to what he had in mind. It sounded as if he expected someone to show up in Ferguson with jobs to give away. Among other things, I was unclear as to who he thought was supposed to “set it up” and how that worked.

The piece ended with Strassman behaving like a trained seal. As Vons finished his thoughts, Strassman chimed in like a politically correct robot: “No jobs, no peace.” To which the former gang member said, “No jobs, no peace. Period.”

So much for being a bridge builder.

in a better economy there would be more jobs.. instead,.. the wall street gets a treasury subsidy and main street gets the bill..

Nice thing for em to put on their resume

it's all in how you word it..

from August 2014 to Sept 2014, I assisted in "cleaning out" multiple businesses old inventory, as well as laying the groundwork for extensive renovations.

I also participated in a traffic re-routing project around blighted neighborhoods that suffered from man made disasters.

and that isn't even covering the conflict resolution policy I helped set up with the local and state police.

additional duties included but are not limited to preparation of pyrotechnics and maintaining road blocks.

see doesn't that look better!

Aren't there job openings in ACA enforcement? Why couldn't just one reporter ask how that Hope and Change thing is working out?

Although I have been "dead-broke" poor in the past, I've never lived in a culture of crime and dependency, so maybe my whole mindset is different from these folks.

I do know this, I'm 70 years old and have never been unemployed for more than a few days in my whole life. I've never received any welfare, food stamps, or unemployment.

If there were no jobs where I was, I went to where the jobs were.

I never have, but if I lived in one of these inner city hell-holes, I'd pack my scivvies in a plastic bag and walk out of the area, never to return.

It's all about personal responsibility.

free bus tickets to Valley County Montana, might be an idea.

Heard there are enough jobs there

they do that around here.. ship welfare recipients to our county ...

and our residents are left shouldering their burden, drugs, crime, ect,..

they are in the progress of building a large low income housing "project" , it was sold as "workforce" housing,..

the idea sounds great... you pay rent according to your income...

but here is the kicker... a friend of ours' granddaughter and her husband both work... but barely make it on their incomes..

so they went to apply... on the First day,.. they were third in line.. .

and it was already FULL and they were not taking applications.. when she said why did you advertise that you were,.. the answer,.. we were required to advertise and have an openhouse to conform to the law...
(IE,.. to get the huge tax credit and federal subsidies)

shipping them to someone else's place just expands their swath of destruction..
