Booming economy!!! Unless you work in tech and are reaching age 40, or over 50 and in any industry. In this country you better have ALL your ducks in a row by age 40 or the freeway overpass becomes a reality.

Unemployment at an all tie low….maybe you are just one of those who are unemployable disgruntled individuals that live life as a victim. It is easier to be a victim and become a pet, waiting for your owner to feed or bathe you.
Oh, and we all believe you voted for Trump…..not too convincing.
RF says
This is the result of Brown/Newsom promising to “fight the harm Trump is doing to California”….Unemployment rates are dropping everywhere except California… Can’t have these people finding jobs & throwing off their dependency on the democrats…
