As far as I'm concerned the economy is fixed, someone finally gave my son a job.

if you dont like you job dont say "f that" you pussy--- MAN UP --- and quit.

go out and find something you like that will pay you the kind of wage increase that you believe you deserve. Or better, go out and CREATE wealth through some entrepreneurial effort.

I know plenty of people without work and to hear you bellyaching is sickening.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING -

there's a guy and his wife who recently joined circle of friends. last night we got together at a mutual friend's house and played cards. first time i ever really spent any time with this guy.

he has been unemployed (which i , by the way did not now know) and today he went for a job interview. he was really excited about it because its the first really good lead he's had in 8 months. during the interview he had a stroke. blood pressure 270 over 120.

it turns out that during his time of unemployment he stopped taking his blood pressure medication after he ran out because he couldn't afford it.

I just got back from visiting him in the hospital. the MRI shows the blood growing at the base of his head. they give him a 50/50 chance of surviving the night.

there were several of us there to visit him and one of the gals happens to work at that hospital and told us that the beds in intensive care there run $6000.00 per day and that does not include and medical supplies or medical staff.

the irony is the hospital has to take care of him even though he has no means of repayment --- but if he were to go the hospital and say " i'm unemployed right now and cant afford my blood pressure medication they wouldnt/couldnt give him the $50.00 or $100.00 worth of medication that he needed.

OBVIOUSLY WE NEED HEALTH CARE REFORM

what's worse is that ANYONE of us who went to visit would have gladly offered to pay for his medication had we known. he was just either too proud or too embarrassed to let others know his financial condition.

JUST THANK GOD YOU HAVE A JOB AND STFU!

" bust your ass for 60 hours a week for 2 percent increase...f that. "

Isn't that more than the inflation rate ? Don't understand what's to complain.

That's much more than the rate of 'super saving account'.

Awesome.
