Well, Dudes.................

...............it's been nice readin' yer posts. But I worked 3-11:30pm last night, 8-2:30pm today, and have to be back in at 6a.m. tomorrow to put in ten hours every day 'til next monday, whence I go back to eight hours.
I'm already dog tired, and it has only just begun.

You're working your butt off and they're probably griping about having to work overtime. Are you having to install or overhaul some machines, or is the company just refusing to hire enough people to meet production demands on a normal schedule. I guessing that there's not a run on coffee when the temperature is hanging around 100 degrees.

Good luck with this week. Pace yourself, drink plenty of water, sleep as much as you can, and reward yourself with something fun when you get all of that OT on your paycheck.

Regards,

D-Ray

Seems to me folks should be outraged about corporate america instead we have folks victimized by it defending it and wanting to shoot everyone who does not defend it. It's a hopeless situation for the average Joe.

According to the WashPost this AM a recent poll found a 70 odd percent disapproval rating of corporate America.

then why do they support it with their vote?

Yes I know both sides are on the take but clearly the GOP is overt in their support.

Because the Republicans tell us who to blame for our fucked up little lives.

That's an approval rate 3 times higher than that of Congress itself (11%). Just who is it that is doing their jobs and that the public likes? In these sour times, I can't think of anybody.
