Good for you because these employers are paying you crap? Well then enjoy.

Will they fly the confederate flag too?

I don't work for any of the above mentioned companies.

I doubt they will fly the Confederate flag.

The wages they will pay are an improvement over the current prevailing wage, and will lift the standard of living for many. Living expenses are also lower in this region than the Northeast or West.

One step at a time.

Well Tom I'm 84 and when I get up from a chair the first three steps must look funny as hell to anyone watching but after that I'm good to go. Just as well because the driveway is 150 feet long and rises about 3 feet. Makes getting the paper and the mail a bit of a challenge.

Sometimes I have similar problems getting moving due to arthritis and the usual ravages, tho' once well under way I'm a rolling farce of nature.

The wife is 73 and it was extremely depressing to watch how fast she became feeble.

I believe her sudden deteriorated was caused by the number of drugs she
takes for her ailments.

The docs now just throw drugs at seniors until the lawyers alert the public.

Thanks to the lawyers we caught ACTOS early before it became a regimen.

Quite possible, even probable, as a variety of factors were a catalyst for the move here - a variety of factors may initiate a move elsewhere at some point.

Nothing is permanent.
