A little story from Scranton.

Why don't you e-mail the reporter and ask him?

Why do they just jump to that conculsion? Perhaps some of them have realized what Bobb said and have decided to move or get re-educated to be able to do a job that is actually available, not one that they want to be available but isn't.
In which cases, they're out of a job and not looking. I suppose it's possible that everyone is leaving Scranton, but I would expect the local newspaper to have a handle on that. You figure they would be seeing more ads for real estate and yard sales.

I agree that that isn't much money, but is Bobb saying he would rather make $0/hr and not even look for a job (since he has become so discouraged and frustrated) than get at least $9/hr? I could understand that if he was going to spend the time looking for a job, but to just say fuck it and then not take the $9/hr job is ridiculous. And lazy.
Truly, the thing that it holding this country back is lazy poor people.

And this is a bad thing?
Who said that?

I believe this is what Bilmore has been saying.
Slave and I are calling him "Mr. Crankypants" for the rest of the evening.
