That's what "Real Americans" do. And their employers love it.

Refresh my memory, genius. When was it that you offered anything but barely comprehensible gibberish to any subject here? All I've seen is adolescent snark. Do you really operate your own business?

Perhaps if you work hard and stop looking at the clock thinking the world owes you something you would have gone further.

As far as the stack of fiat that JJIII and I are commenting on we know the truth. This happens to be all our problems and why our salaries just don't give us the quality of life. Your employer can double your pay in fiat but in a year you will have not gained anything. This is due to the rapid devaluation of the currency. In a hyper inflationary period you what to spend the currency as fast as you get it. No Im not saying we are there yet but it's far worse than any figures we are getting from the Fed.

Your wages are based on inflation for raises "Cost of Living" So when the numbers are wrong so is your raise. This is why we are going backwards as far as Quality of Life.

It's not all Corporations in fact they are not the ones to blame. It's the Fed and the monetary policies that your anger should be directed to.

Yeh suuuure and I've got some (soon to be) ocean front property in the Everglades that you might want to invest in.

I'm really surprised that you haven't brought up the perils we face from the United Nations, yet.

By the way.
On Tuesday, the Nikkei fell by more than 610 points.


In Argentina, the price of gold rose about 28% in the first month of this year. In the meantime, the price of gold in euro’s and dollars rose about 5%. The big difference is the result of a devaluation of the Argentine currency, the peso. The devaluation is unfortunate for savers, because they saw the real value of their savings decline. The gains are for the debtors, whose debts in real terms went down by the same amount.
Argentinians who converted their savings into gold were barely harmed by the devaluation of the currency.


The graph below shows the goldprice in six different currencies: the Russian ruble, the Argentine peso, the Turkish lira, the eur, the Indian rupee and the Sout-African rand. As you can see most of the emerging market currencies lost value compared to both the euro and gold.

It's so nice to know that we have 13 and jbs watching us to know our work habits, our ethics and our personal lives. Who needs Big Brother when we have these two watching out for the country.

Regards,

As do employers!!

I can't remember the last time I worked by the hour and I look at the ones that do and it's a joke most of the time.

If I see it so do others.

Then again...take a fucking hike...the shit throwing started when you decided to refer to my post as histrionic.

Whell takes the phony high ground...yet again. All the while not giving a shit for bankrupt families with dead members who might otherwise still be sitting up feeding themselves.
More histrionics. I'll give you this much: you're consistent.
