    Fear sells

    Facts can be half truths too. You can use a fact and leave out another fact and make it look like the complete truth.Kinda like statistics...you can make a chart that shows a 1% difference look huge or minuscule. Many "facts" are relative. You can push thru a bill in congress and attach some bs...

    Fear sells

    When considering the facts, consider the source. When considering the source, consider the sponsor behind it. Fear is always a big seller...especially when no-one can afford to buy anything else. Ironic isn't it? Sadly there are folks out there that actually profit from others fears and woes...

    Try Hours Still hasn't paid me

    Just giving would-be's a heads up. Seeing as there is prob a banner for them at the top of this page. I worked for Try Hours from July to November 26th '08. I have still not received my over 800 dollars escro money. This is MY MONEY I remind you. Their policy is 45 to 60 days after you sign off...

    Obama Snubs Nation's Heros

    Point taken. When I said chef...I meant the Far Right in general. :-) I'll keep it general in the future. I have met my nemesis though and it's fun.

    Obama Snubs Nation's Heros

    He also seems to despise Unions who are one of the largest supporters of veterans not only financially but in terms of awareness. Ever Notice the POW-MIA Flags at the plants? The T-shirts. The support groups for War Veterans. I know...he was in an ARMY once when he was 19 and never looked back...

    Obama Snubs Nation's Heros

    First. Maybe He's actually working on important things like BILLS that will get our veterans better treatment when they come home instead of cutting there benefits and letting the VA hospitals fall into tatters. Second. Consider the source. For someone who claims he was in the military he...

    Schneider National Closing Terminals

    But there must be a reason why no-one wants to drive these 150k machines. Are other large carriers closing terminals, or just shneider? I'm not being sarcastic...I'm asking is it just Shneider or is this happening throughout the industry? Again though..as a previous writer said, they predicted a...

    Schneider National Closing Terminals

    I have a solution. START PAYING DECENT WAGES AND BENEFITS and maybe their drivers will stay. They have one of the highest turnover rates in the industry. No-one wants to be away 2 to 3 weeks at a time for peanuts and a crappy benefits package. And we can see now what a 401k is worth. HAHA.

    Hey Anti Union Folks...

    My apologies to MOOT. Hard to determine ones intentions or mood thru txt. I am sorry if I over re-acted Moot. I guess I just get so sick of the constant Union Bashing on here. Not all but many have never been in a union or know why they have most of the work rules that help them today. It just...

    Hey Anti Union Folks...

    It's ok...my GF is a therapist...lol. I'll get to work on that issue with her when I get back home. She's already told me there is no hope. And she's helped some real screwballs.:D

    Hey Anti Union Folks...

    I agree. That CORPORATE WELFARE is non-sense. We should use those off shore tax breaks to help people on personal welfare get jobs with benefits so it's worth giving up their Medicade which is the main reason people stay on welfare. Apperently a job at MacDonalds pays too much for a family to be...

    Hey Anti Union Folks...

    ok I guess a "forced anti-union" shop is better. Like when you even mention union and get fired (of coarse for some other reason that wasn't an issue until you mentioned union). I'm not against people having a choice at all. In fact some southern GM plants have that option. But I don't think the...

    Hey Anti Union Folks...

    Thank you. I worked alot harder at GM by far than doing this job. Assembly Plant, Foundry. Yes grease and pcbs. I guess getting cancer at a young age isn't worth $28 per hr. But these morons don't get that. They work so hard riding in a truck and not touching a piece of freight. Lazy auto...

    Hey Anti Union Folks...

    I agree that many of the Union officials have lost touch with reality. They get the perks from the company like an AC'd office...never on the floor except at election time...and have sold the union rank and file out. But that doesn't make unions bad. The Rank and file need to oust these corrupt...

    Hey Anti Union Folks...

    The only reason these non-union plants are sooo "friendly" is because they fear unions there. They pay good wages because the union sets the bar. BTW...Japan subsidizes Toyota $1500 per vehicle to export them here. All the profits go back to Japan. As the toyota work force ages more and more are...

    Fiat Considers Stake in Chrysler

    All I can say is they better not sign a stupid deal with Fiat like the one GM did. They had to pay 2 billion to get out of that. But of coarse...that was the Unions fault. haha Couldn't resist Chef. I try to keep it light hearted. We all have our strong beliefs. That's what makes this country...
