Right. But that’s not really what I’m talking about. I’m talking about how people can make a living. I don’t think manufacturing jobs are the answer.
I don't disagree about looking at the past.I disagree with things are "fine" now. Lots of folks in severe economic hardship across the country through no fault of their own.
Lots of jobs still available. If you know of someone experiencing economic hardship, tell them to grab one.
I was referring to compensation, not job availability
Compensation has gone up. There are jobs for anyone who wants one.
Does anyone own single stocks for dividends? I am all index funds right now but thinking about branching out with some dividend stocks. Just curious if anyone is also doing this.
Dividend Growth Investing - which does exactly what you describe - is my primary investing method. I own roughly 50 individual stocks.I would never claim it's the best strategy for everybody, but it can be an effective one for those who want a relatively low-volatility way to grow an income stream while also generating competitive total return over the long term.
Care to share some of your stocks picks? Haha
Another horrendous economic report.
Blackmailing, not blackballing.
Musk sold billions of dollars worth of Tesla stock to help pay for his acquisition of Twitter -- an overpriced company he didn't even want -- and now he's trying to strong-arm the Tesla board into giving him billions of dollars worth of Tesla stock. Threatening to develop new AI products outside of Tesla, Musk is basically blackballing the company he built.TSLA had a poor earnings report after market close yesterday and opened this morning down about 9%, back well under $200/share. As a TSLA shareholder, it's uncomfortable having such an unstable megalomaniac at the helm.
Honestly, feelingss about Musk and his political views/social views/etc... aside, my biggest concern as a TSLA shareholder or stakeholder would just be how thin he's spread. It was the same was as Jack Dorsey running both TWTR and Square/Block. Doofuses on social media like to pretend CEOs don't do anything or they aren't valuable, but everyone in this thread is business savvy and knowledgeable enough to know that isn't true at all. Especially for a huge public company doing billions of dollars in revenue. How can you be truly efficient and exemplary looking after multiple at a time. This isn't a portfolio company with a couple businesses underneath. Musk being CEO of SpaceX and TSLA, in addition to his other smaller ventures, was a huge ask. Adding X into it is absurd from a personal/mental resource perspective. Then you add all the other non-business complications he causes and invites.

Record number of Americans are homeless amid nationwide surge in rent, report finds
The economy is greathttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/rent-homelessness-harvard-report-center-for-housing-studies/
I volunteer with a group that works with homeless that do not, or cannot, stay at shelters. Number of reasons why they chose not to visit shelters and not really important. That said, the number of people being served/taken care of is up almost 100% since last year.It is amazing that in many of our suburban communities there are homeless people. Some of their creativity on shelter is impressive. The group I am helping is now covering a very big part of MKE county.
