It’s you that doesn’t get it, you want to justify your whining.
Look. I had LOD reports on both knees and refused to take offers of taxpayers’ money for fixing them and going on disability. I don’t need any stinkin’ welfare of any kind, including checks from thieving, politically correct contractors or other special interests. ...would rather continue, from time to time, to swing pickaxes and push shovels cheap.
And here we are, with so much in common, arguing back and forth like this. I’m designing a place for a 70 psf snow load (first time making drawings) after decades of chasing cheap manual labor and office jobs managed by incompetents.
No surprises there.
As any fascist, by definition, would say.
What is an LOD report?
Gross’s business is government debt. No socialists, no borrowing no debt no Pimpco.
Eh? You think Gross is a neutral actor?
I'm not sure how I feel about removing restrictions on corporate free speech. I hate to say it, but Stevens dissent does make some sense where he pointed out that corporations cannot vote or run for office.
Wealthy executives and board members of corporations can always participate in financing campaigns. I encourage them to do that.
But for myself, I can see where corporations, particularly multi-national ones can significantly override individual interests. And restrictions on unions like the SEIU and NEA are eliminated as well, and that's a bit troubling.
I committed a felony to enlist in the Army and become a Special Forces medic. I’m 53 and still framing and roofing houses. A couple of nights a week I work the door of a decent gin mill/biker bar and assist people that have had the establishments hospitality “recinded”
I like bribes. I’d like us to go back to direct payments for votes. Worked pretty good.
Yeah, I hear you. Me? A mid thirty foot sailboat in Cuba until I get the big chest pain.
Subject to Justice Kennedy's whims, of course.
Yes! Take that Obama and McCain...this is dynamic
While I have little taste for government interfering in business, I hope that one result of a government limit on corporate overpayments and bonuses will be to bring jobs back to this country. It seems to me that if top executives are vastly overpaid, then they will keep the stockholders off their backs by shipping as many jobs as possible to low paid countries. If their pay can be reduced to more reasonable levels, then hopefully it will be more cost effective to keep the low level jobs here.
Am I allowed to say that?
Well, there is that.
Is your pay "reasonable"?
Who should decide?
You weren’t. But you are now.
“Line of duty” in regards to injuries. ...torn miniscus in each knee due to being a tall mesomorph and changing directions too quickly while carrying large loads. Time, breaks between jobs, exercise (wide range of movement) with regular aspirin before rest and natural calcium seem to help some.
Heh. I’m very near your age (did OSUT at Ft. Leonard Wood at almost 32). But I only did security in dance hall type night clubs while much younger (four of ‘em as extra jobs over the course of several years)—one of them probably much more of a model for “Roadhouse” than anything in Jasper. ;-)
You say that as if it were a bad thing. McCain-Feingold was bad law that should never have been passed. The only "reform" in it was in the title.
2008 will be the last election where a "major" party candidate takes federal matching funds. I don't see that as a bad thing either.
Like it or not, if a candidate wants to get his message out, that candidate and his friends must pay for it. We can't even afford 4 years of Obama, let alone 8. But thanks in part to McCain following stupid campaign restrictions we are blessed with a White House filled with radical communists who hate us and our country.
