I was reading a thread from Isaccs Pappa about finding someone else doing his job at the exact company he was laid off from a while back and this is what came to mind..... That really sucks man... This is the fucking problem. Everyone is focused on profit.. PERIOD!...Ill bet that paying you, versus paying a fucking newb isnt really saving the Co from going under.. Its all about profit!! They dont have to pay SS tax or benefits, and less salary.. And there getting away with it.... It all started with Wal Mart, then total deregulation with the banks and traders.. First, Wally started putting everyone under buy selling the cheap ass Chinese shit.. Putting companies like Rubbermade, RCA etc out of business. And then the fucking American "sheep people" flocked in to wally world to save a buck. Literally 1 dollar! When they should have looked around at where there spending there money. Then the banks lent every dickhead with his hand out, the money he wanted.. They are so fucking stupid...And Enron jumped at the new deregulated energy laws, and didnt have to show a real profit. Witch in turn totally opened the door to manipulating energy costs by the traders.. I have Republican values, but I have to say...Reinstate the regs... Boycott all the big sellout retailers ....starting with Wal Mart(retard world, in case you havnt seen the pictures) Pay cash for everything you buy... Save Gasoline and electricity..and, FYI Im self employed, and business is off... lets start supporting unions again. Otherwise corporate is going to run the worker down, and take me with them... Then we can all live 15 in a two bedroom apt. Just like every 3rd world country. The everyday guy wont be able to find more than a 10$ an hr job. Its happening right now!! So.. Live within your means, get an education, and pay the fucking bills... Whew!!!.. Hows that for a rant?? ha ha ha. Good Luck Papa, im sure you'll land on your feet.... Now jump in, I wanna hear your opinion.
