IF YOU WOULD TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE ARTICLE IN THE FREEP:
YOu would find that he lives with his girlfriend in a house she inherited, so is not interested in moving.
He looks healthy because every day, he has supper with the boss, whose wife makes what looks like a pretty plentiful menu.
His boss and coworkers appreciate his dedication, and his attendance record is shown as an example.
The metro Detroit area has spotty public transportation. He takes busses till the end of that line, and then walks. On his way to work, it doesn’t take him so long, the walk home is longer because some of the busses don’t run that late.
He is happy to be employed, and sounds like he’s good at what he does.
Some days (or nights) a banker in a 2014 classy car (divorced, no home life) gives him a ride-—because the banker respects the worker’s dedication.
So, he’s a working taxpayer, not taking anything from the gov. He enjoys the walk (most days).
Some of you seem to have a problem with his work ethic, and his wages. What matters is that he is NOT lazy, not collecting gov checks, and is self-dependent. I’m sorta thinking maybe some of you criticizers have been spending too much time in your LazyBoys, just looking for something to bitch about.
I most certainly did read the article, and I just read it a SECOND TIME. Nowhere does it state that he lives with his girlfriend, nor does it say that he has supper with his boss.
You must be talking about a different article. I read the one linked at the top of this thread. I see now that there’s another link in one of the comments. Maybe I’ll read that one another time.
But, I most certainly did NOT question the man’s work ethic. I merely stated that there are unanswered questions. And, btw, your post didn’t answer all of them, either.
We have been presented with a dilemma; some of us are wondering about other solutions, that’s all.
In the meantime, instead of insulting people, I suggest that you LINK the article you’re referring to, the next time you take offense to a comment on this thread.
Ain't it the truth? What's that song... Oh yes, "Lord it's hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way."
