J1’s vs Locals<\/strong> – WHO’S WINNING?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last blog post Anita and I talked about the level in which the “WORKING” “PO”<\/strong> class folks have been pushed to the bottom, <\/strong>while the J1’s and H2B’s<\/strong> are running atop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I speak of winning, I really don’t know what the prize is. It could be winning the “TITLE” as the “HELP.” <\/strong>This is the most “PRESTIGIOUS” and “HONORED” title offered to us “PO” folks in Branson<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

****LET US SEE TOGETHER WHO IS REALLY WINNING****<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neither are successful at “APPLYING AND RECEIVING” “UNEMPLOYMENT” benefits<\/strong> in Branson. I believe only those that “FIT” the description can successfully accomplish this feat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From my vantage point, and where I sit, I see a system designed to deny many working class “PO” folks from receiving their duly earned money.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a football game, usually the winner is the team with the “MOST” points<\/strong> at the end of the “FOURTH” quarter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Branson has designed a work environment <\/strong>where possibly no one in the “LOW-END” hotel holes can ever achieve and master the “UNEMPLOYMENT” intake program game.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

****HOW COULD THAT BE****<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “FOUR” quarters<\/strong> are “DIVIDED”<\/strong> amongst “TWO” groups of people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GROUP 1<\/strong> – “LOCALS”<\/strong> – They work “UP” to “THREE” quarters<\/strong> – Some with very few working hours<\/strong>. Many work in the food industry<\/strong>. The same industry visitors to Branson rely on<\/strong>. Therefore, they will never be able to apply<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GROUP 2<\/strong> – “J1’s and H2B’s” <\/strong>– Work “ONE” quarter<\/strong> and sent back home – most lose working hours within days after arriving, while some lose their jobs completely.<\/strong> – Therefore, they will never be able to apply.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

****SO LET’S DO THE MATH****<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“THREE QUARTERS” TO THE LOCALS<\/strong> AND “ONE QUARTER” TO THE J1’s and H2B’s<\/strong> – 3 + 1 = 4 QUARTERS<\/strong>. “ALL WORKERS ARE UNDERPAID AND OVERWORKED”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the workforce, it takes “4″ quarters for a person to achieve happiness in Branson’s employees “UNEMPLOYMENT” game.<\/strong> PROBLEM WITH THAT IS CERTAIN BUSINESS OWNERS WILL ONLY AFFORD THAT OPPORTUNITY TO A SELECT FEW.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “DEPT. OF LABOR” states on their website;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to qualify <\/strong>as an insured worker, a claimant must:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1)<\/strong> Lose his\/her job through no fault of the claimant OR quit for a valid reason<\/strong> related to the work or the employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2)<\/strong> Make at least $2,250<\/strong> \u2014 At least $1,500 during one of the calendar quarters<\/strong>, and at least $750 during the remainder of the year<\/strong>\u2014from an insured employer<\/strong> during the base period  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-AND-<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

His\/her total base period wages must be at least 1.5 times his\/her highest quarter wages.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-OR-<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\/she must make at least $19,500 during two of the four quarters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BE SURE TO VISIT THIS WEBSITE AS IT WILL HELP YOU DECIDE IF BRANSON IS RIGHT FOR YOU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

****END RESULTS****<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Branson has stayed true to the format mentioned above<\/strong> and knows “EXACTLY” when your work “HOURS” should be cut.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CERTAIN BUSINESSES BY DESIGN ARE MAKING SURE YOU “THE WORKING PO” STAY BELOW WHAT IS REQUIRE TO “ACHEIVE” ELIGIBILITY.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

****THIS IS HOW IT WORKS****<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“BUSINESSES” start “REDUCING” “LOCALS” work hours<\/strong>, in a time the Locals need more hours, instead of less.<\/strong> Exactly what we are seeing “NOW” as the J1’s and H2B’s began their transition<\/strong> into the Branson workforce.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“PAINFULLY” the “LOCALS” are being “PUSHED” aside “WITHOUT” unemployment assistance and\/or housing because they don’t have enough “QUARTERS” in, and\/or income to stay afloat.<\/strong> “ULTIMATELY FORCED<\/strong> TO THE STREET OR OUT OF TOWN<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT DO THESE HARD WORKING “PO” FOLKS LIKE ANITA AND I HAVE IN COMMON?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both<\/strong> are required to dwell in places that are FILTHY, STINKY, and NASTY, with roaches and outdated furniture<\/strong>. Both are subjected to losing work hours “WITHOUT” notice<\/strong>. -AND- Both are “EXPECTED” to pay incredibly “HIGH” ass prices<\/strong> for these “LOW-END” shit holes<\/strong>. EXAMPLE:<\/strong> (3 Humans and 1 Pet = 4 Heartbeats for a GRAND TOTAL OF $1600.00) in these shit holes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the J1’s and H2B’s leave Branson<\/strong> and go home, they are just as worn down and “BROKEN” as the “LOCALS.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So people, please take time to follow the guidelines above and visit the “Dept. of Labor” website<\/strong> to better understand and ascertain whether or “NOT” Branson is a good fit for you and your family.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can make a better informed decision<\/strong> if you know whether or not you meet the guidelines for unemployment. <\/strong>Because these are the standards used to make it “IMPOSSIBLE” for the “PO” working class “LOCALS” to “APPLY” and “RECEIVE” their “UNEMPLOYMENT” checks.<\/strong> Especially, when your working hours are “CONSTANTLY” being cut.<\/strong>
