It's long overdue.  My daughter served six years in the Army.  She did her time in Iraq and she would talk about soldiers who couldn't keep up and shouldn't have been in the military.  They kept them for the same reason they kept injured soldiers and DADT soldiers that came out:  They needed the manpower while fighting...more

How about they take some job, any job?  My daughter and son-in-law lived in Dallas and neither of them had any trouble finding jobs.  She has an Associate degree and he's a mechanic.  They made decent money and had full benefits.    Some of these people seem to think that if they can't find a job as good or better t...more

Papa John's said that pizza would have to go up 14c per pizza.  I'm more than willing to pay 14c more for anything if it means that all full time employees get health insurance.  Heck, I'd be willing to pay 28c more for a pizza if it meant that ALL employees, part or full time, could get insurance.   For the record, ...more

I do own a mess of rental property, so I know what I'm talking about.  As for my employer, yes they are.  You don't have to believe me, but that doesn't make it a lie.  You sound like a bitter, impotent, sad little man who can't seem to get his sh*t together.  As for business booming under Bush, unless you worked for H...more

Actually, if the deals were available online, it would cut down on the number of employees needed to work in the stores.  That's a conservative point of view, not a liberal one.

I didn't blame anything on Bush.  I simply pointed out what Obama has accomplished.  If you don't like facts, that's your issue, not mine.    We are hiring 25 people every two weeks and have been for the last 5 months.  I work for a major airline and we can't add employees fast enough.  These are jobs with decent pa...more

I have never shopped on Black Friday and probably never will.  A year of working in retail cured me of any desire to be in a crowded store on the day after Thanksgiving.   That being said, no one is holding a gun to anyone's head and forcing them to shop on Thanksgiving or any other day.  If you think it's awful, the...more

The election is over.  You lost, so get over it.  We didn't impeach Reagan when the Marines were bombed in Beirut.  Shyt happens when you take a job in an unstable region.   As for not improving anything, you're delusional.  He ended the war in Iraq, Osama bin Laden was killed (something Bush couldn't do in 8 years),...more

I work for an airline.  I would happily give my shift to someone who wants the holiday pay, and there are many, but we aren't allowed to trade shifts on a holiday.  So, I suck it up and go to work because I knew that was the deal when I hired on.  In nearly 30 years, I've worked most holidays.  I love the job, so I tak...more
