More than once I’ve called customer service and heard kids playing or a tv on in the background. At home isn’t always a good place to work.

I've experienced that as well....at one point I couldn't hear the person over their dog barking in the background....

A few of them got a taste of having to go back to the office....they moved here and their office is an hour and half away....one of them threatened to leave the company if he wasn't allowed to stay working from home......I hear he's job shopping now.

It's the Woke Mind Virus way. The minority fringe gets a disproportionate amount of time, energy and tax $ spent on them. What she describes hasn't happened in a year. Or 4. More like 30.

The U S. used to be ranked #1 in education. Now, we are 13th. Yet the US spends the second-highest amount per pupil, than the 12 higher ranked. So that $ is going somewhere. But certainly not to better our ability to compete with other countries preparing children to be productive.

Hi. Boy (can I still say boy?) What a hater she is. They should not let her come there and talk anymore. Harris knows what is best for us all. We will have more freedom under Harris than Trump. We will be able to any thing the Democrats let us do. I am all in for free speach as long as the Denocrate approve of it. Harris and her price controls on food is a great way to go. Even if all the food stores close. At least the food that is not around we will be able to afford if it was there. What other thongs can Harris put price controlls on so we could afford if the were there.

Some jobs, especially in the medical profession, related to insurance and pure administration are very successful with all their employees working remote.

They have solid business processes in place though. Those include approval by inspection of a home office, a reliable internet connection and an ERP system which monitors productivity, number of calls, duration of calls, online time and customer feedback ratings. Their regional teams also meet weekly by online meetings with visual content.

One of the Fortune 10 companies I worked for, had a massive customer care department with almost all employees working remote, very successfully 20 years ago.

What erks me is when my calls are dealt with from the far East, most often the Philippines. Then hearing many background talks.

Fine. [to the liberal panelist] Sharon, the NEA is a loser. Yeah, it accounts for a penny out of our paychecks, but he [gesturing to the conservative panelist] gets to hit you with it anytime he wants. It doesn't cost money, it costs votes. It costs airtime and column inches. You know why people don't like liberals? Because they lose. If liberals are so fuckin' smart, how come they lose so amazing ALWAYS!

And [to the conservative panelist] with a straight face, you're going to tell students that America's so starspangled awesome that we're the only ones in the world who have freedom? Canada has freedom, Japan has freedom, the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Australia, Belgium has freedom. Two hundred seven sovereign states in the world, like 180 of them have freedom.

And you—sorority girl—yeah—just in case you accidentally wander into a voting booth one day, there are some things you should know, and one of them is that there is absolutely no evidence to support the statement that we're the greatest country in the world. We're seventh in literacy, twenty-seventh in math, twenty-second in science, forty-ninth in life expectancy, 178th in infant mortality, third in median household income, number four in labor force, and number four in exports. We lead the world in only three categories: number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real, and defense spending, where we spend more than the next twenty-six countries combined, twenty-five of whom are allies. None of this is the fault of a 20-year-old college student, but you, nonetheless, are without a doubt, a member of the WORST-period-GENERATION-period-EVER-period, so when you ask what makes us the greatest country in the world, I don't know what the good time you're talking about?! Yosemite?!!!

We sure used to be. We stood up for what was right! We fought for moral reasons, we passed and struck down laws for moral reasons. We waged wars on poverty, not poor people. We sacrificed, we cared about our neighbors, we put our money where our mouths were, and we never beat our chest. We built great big things, made ungodly technological advances, explored the universe, cured diseases, and cultivated the world's greatest artists and the world's greatest economy. We reached for the stars, and we acted like men. We aspired to intelligence; we didn't belittle it; it didn't make us feel inferior. We didn't identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election, and we didn't scare so easy. And we were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed. By great men, men who were revered. The first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one—America is not the greatest country in the world anymore.

Not exactly. Burn your country’s flag in most of them and see what happens to you. Throw a Hitler solute in Germany and go to enjoy sauerkraut behind bars for a while. All you have to in the UK, is walk in public with the flag and you will be reprimanded.

I went to school far away from here. Then seven years of college, four in one country and three in another. I had to work my @ss of just get passing grades. A very big part of it was career focused, vocational, the rest relative to vocational. The tuition was focused on having the graduate hit his first career job running. There was no time for protests, missing classes, and it was studying until 11 o’clock at night stuff, plus week-ends. It was never the teacher’s responsibility for students to pass, the student would have to work for that, either fail and repeat the class, or pass. Or drop out.

Exams, with a question where you have tick a box for the correct answer did not exist.

I don’t know what it was like here in the 70’s, any comments?

You feeling better now.?

I have only lived here 23 years, but have seen massive changes for the worse in the past 4. I have been around though and would rather be here than most other places.

They say if our founding fathers were Portuguese, we would be similar to Brazil. Let’s hope that all the illegal immigrants don’t change America to a totally different place for our grandchildren.

Of the last 6 presidential elections, the Democrat won the popular vote in 5 of them. Sure looks like there are more democrats than republicans in this country. Politics aren’t much more than an opinion, but in a democracy, majority rules.
By the way, the rest of the post is excellent.

Yep, I was a Democrat. Sadly, the party has changed beyond recognition the past four years.

Listen to Tulsi Gabbard, Kennedy Junior, you may not approve of them, but they sure have seen the same common sense issues I am concerned about. Who in their right mind would have a biological male compete against a female athlete. Who in their right mind would stop applying the laws and leave our borders wide open? Who… OK, I will stop here, but trust me I have exponential bandwidth of issues.

I agree a biological male shouldn’t compete with females in sports. As far as your exponential list, more people don’t agree with you than do. It’s opinion and there is no definitive correct. Besides, if a person can’t make it because of who’s in the White House, it’s on them.

Is your life better now, than it was four years ago? Do you believe the Dems built back better?

Yes it’s better, but it’s better because of my decisions. As far as the government, I believe we’ve been fine for 12 years. Obama in his first administration got us rolling and that period stands above. I believe it’s because he led by example of decency and inclusiveness and made people feel better about themselves. Taking that, I believe it’s the American people that make us prosperous, not the politicians. My opinion of course.

Not suggesting we point a finger at anyone.

But if you say yes your life is better than four years ago, does that mean the following has no effect on you, emotionally and literally?

1.) War between Israel and Gaza.
2.) War between Russia and Ukraine.
3.) Migrants begging, the threat of security longer term from not knowing who and how many crossed our borders.
4.) Higher gas prices.
5.) Higher insurance costs.
6.) Paying more for groceries.
7.) New car prices
8.) The costs of eating at your favorite restaurant.
9.) Watching political bickering on TV.
10.) Watching Kamala talk about the coconut tree.

1) The war is between Israel and Hamas. Emotionally I hate to see what is happening there but it's not life changing.
2) Literally, no; it is completely out of my control. Putin is determined and Ukraine is gallant. Should we be involved? I think yes but to a lesser extent.
3) Here you and I differ on the majority of who is joining us. People that care enough to go through this to improve their lives. Are all illegal immigrants moral? No, but neither are all American citizens.
4) Gas was $2.39 today in Springfield. Higher than during Trump's term? No, not cheaper either. You know as well as anyone supply, and demand determine price, not politics, but this issue is mentioned by every hyper political person I know. You even posted a thread with gas in the title, on which I called you, and you explained you were talking about natural gas.
5) See #4
6) Covid
7) Gradual increase every year, where is this going
8) I'm bored
9) Don't have broadcast TV
10) I like her. She's better than either geriatric candidate.

This was way too much work, you still have your opinion and I mine. What the phuque dude. Go away you bother me

3) Here you and I differ on the majority of who is joining us. People that care enough to go through this to improve their lives. Are all illegal immigrants moral? No, but neither are all American citizens.

Here is the issue;

My daughter just immigrated to Portugal, because she is over 21 years old. The LEGAL immigration process if I sponsor her as her USA Citizen father, takes 14 years. How fair do you think that is to someone who is highly skilled with a postgraduate degree and extensive vocational experience, with her family living here, but she cannot join? You OK with that, in comparison to allow those who come in illegally to stay?

If we apply the law, we may not employ anyone without a social security number.

If we apply the law, we cannot give anyone a social security number without legal immigration status.

If we apply the law, we may not employ someone and pay them more than $600 for the entire year, without submitting a 1099. We cannot submit a 1099 without a social security number.

If we break the law and pay an illegal immigrant cash under the table, whichever account we draw that cash out of, will be considered personal expenses (Like Trump Payed Stormy Daniels) and we legally would be paying tax on that considered as personal income. If we get caught, we can be prosecuted.

So how far do we take this illegal immigrant situation and how many laws do we ignore and who does the Government pick as victims to prosecute because they do what Trump did with Stormy?

Do we just start living as a lawless society and throw all structure away, and prosecution is left to those who we want to victimise?

I'm not sure if you are an organized individual or live your whole life away winging every part of your life. All I know is I do not want a government who is totally disorganized and manages our land by totally winging it.

Our government is fine with, and supports the falsification of ID's, drivers licenses, and social security numbers. How many of these may end up voting illegally? Is this first world or third world? How many of our citizens are ending up with credit score issues, because someone stole their social security number?

Then there is Christopher Ray, repeatedly warning us of major security concerns, as our adversaries have sent countless individuals here, of which we have some records, but we don't know where they are and then we have some here without any records.

So is all the above to you professional governance of our land, is this what you are totally OK with?????? Is this the way you want our country run?

Ultimately, where do you think this is going to end?

The above is not from Google or the net, it is from me, I believe I am a properly informed citizen, running a LEGAL business and have my accounts audited each year by a CPA.

How much of the above did you actually grasp?

Sigh, I need to get off these forums and go back to just talking motorcycles......

How much more of this would you like to see, before you change your mind?
