You should consider Prime Trucking. Their corporate office love to hire Vets. Thanks for your service.

I was a Bradley Mechanic amd anything with a gun and tracks and a BA in General Studies

Turn wrenches on what type of equipment? What is your major and degree?

I have been a northsider pretty much my whole life but I live in the suburbs out north of I-44 so does that really count? Don’t know many who actually live south of I-44. There are some rough neighborhoods and yeah the E Kearney Walmart I’ve heard the same things. Living out north in the suburbs isn’t bad at all though. Hillcrest just finished their renovation and it’s beautiful. Traffic isn’t bad out there. Easy drive downtown. Anything south side is 20 minutes away but really I sometimes go more than a week without driving to south side.

Agreed. This guy is completely full of shit.

Edit: Half of everything in his history is deleted.

Okay so at this point you’re saying the same thing as me, only difference is you don’t understand how the economy works apparently, McDonald’s workers make more, then others demand more, then minimum wage gets raised, then cost of living goes up, then everyone is making the same percentage they were. So no not good for them except for a few months to a year they make more than the average Walmart employee. Not knocking anyone I’m just saying that money is rough to come by and jobs are scarce as hell right now, this coming from someone who just spent three months making $14 an hour trying to find even a part time job. I literally have years of experience at restaurants and I couldn’t even get a call back from Taco Bell.

Lived right off division for the last seven years up until this summer if credentials are needed lol. But for me personally I would say I have no issue with people saying there’s more crime. I just don’t like people complaining about homeless people or drug addicts everywhere like they’re pretending they’re Norman reedus in the zombie show. Those people have a rough ass life with no dignity and grace afforded to them.

That post about the north side walmart is what I’m talking about.

I live in north Springfield after many years living in the south side, and I have seen less crime and problems here on the north side. That been said, I recognize the statistics, and can see more areas of concentrated problems on the north side. There are plenty of good and bad neighborhoods and streets in both sides, but it's the north side for me all the way.

Am I the only one who thinks and experienced this?

I don't understand what you're asking about. Are you asking about North Springfield, or are you asking about this subreddit?

Your post meanders about and goes in several directions before deciding to go nowhere. It's like a meth-d out street walker on Division. Entertaining to watch, but nothing really to learn from besides "this is what not to do".

Yeah hasn’t been updated in a long time. Surprised it’s still up. I remember they even use to print an actual paper magazine and place it in various establishments around town!

Yes, that was what I was implying

T-Mobile is hiring!

Isnt that the cult around here?

Yeah but kids are expensive pets!

What difference does it make if McDonald's workers make that? Good for them, damn.

$85k great take it, that's much better than SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE. You know the median income for an entire household in Springfield is $40k?

And you're damn right, you have kids, you have to feed them, pay for doctors, pay for school, pay for everything. You're a parent, suck it up, they're relying on you.

I have more responsibilities than you'd imagine, spouse, kids, job, second job, keeping employees alive, volunteering, home renovations. Don't complain to me, I'd kill to take $85k and ONLY have one job with a wife and a kid.

Ironic because the admin posted his political views.

What ever happened to that anyways? Seems like it fizzled out but someone is still paying for hosting?

Agreed but woah. Tiny town?! How have I never heard of that, that's awesome!

Cool, now McDonald’s workers make that and I have a kid on the way, my current opportunity is paying 85k a year and is work that I’ll likely kill myself doing. It doesn’t matter what I want cause the baby gotta eat so guess what, I’ve been looking for months to find something that will be liveable. Assuming you don’t have many responsibilities aside from you and your s/o, as well as it sounds like you have room mates, our situations are not the same.

Months? Theres no less than 3 people here sharing opportunities for work starting at $17/hr for no experience.

Idk what a livable wage is to you, but a single person making $35k or two adults making $70k is livable. Not long ago I made $35k and supported a significant other going to school full time. Things were tight but we made it by just fine for several years like that.

So you get an army retirement check… you could get any job and make a decent living!

Actually it probably wouldn't hurt to be a member of James River Church.

Paul Mueller is a very large employer in Springfield. But with out knowing what you want to do it makes it hard to help.

Facebook is trash in general I just use the marketplace side of it now, and as a resource for information about small businesses since they seem to exclusively use Facebook around here.
