Dave when I took early retirement from Bell I was getting six weeks paid vacation every year, wonder how long you have to be with a company here to get six weeks.

So tell me why are people here so down on unions? Your working conditions suck, wages are marginal but the very people who could help you , y'all rant against. Is it that you enjoy being screwed over? Is that how you get your jollies? I really do not understand, y'all seem to revere the very bastards who are stcking it to you and put down those who might help you. As the King said 'tiz a puzzlement.

We need to work those two extra weeks to pay increased taxes Rob

Taxes here are a joke. Yet some countries with much higher taxes also have a higher standard of living, Denmark frex.

Yeah it's weird. Wonder if it's the military expense. Darn Europeans and their health care and lavish lifestyle

Rob, I hate to say it, but you're focusing your energy in every, and I do mean every, direction except where you should.

In other words, you're angry and irrational.

Focus instead on how you can better your station in life. Then go do it.

In a calm and rational manner. It works.
