Of course, that's how I earned my nickname "Miscut".:D Fuck him, by gosh by gollee....:cool:

:D Remember the advertising on matchbooks. "Be a Locksmith" "Be an Artist". One customer we had was a locksmith, I used to call him "Matchbook". He never knew. I gave him that nickname because he used to come in the hardware store and ask me to cut him keys. "Here comes matchbook, turn on...

So if you cap an employee's salary who gets the money? In the past if an employee got a $5m bonus but now we cap the bonus at $1m, where's the $4m? If the boss wants to pay me $5m and I earned it, long hours, great sales, make me an independant contractor.

I think we have 4 elements to this case. 1) Underage drinking. Authorities could pursue adults who provided alcohol. 2) The fact that no one came to this girls assistance and let the assault continue. 3) The use of social media. Photo's, video, tweeting and texting. 4) The jock...

What were we supposed to do with the left over ordnance from Vietnam, store it forever? Shock and Awe emptied the warehouse....:cool:

:cool: .. 100 year-event every other year. Wish I could say the same for steak and bjs.

:D :D

Very interesting. I didn't know you could do that. I had a few sheets of that stuff from old tv's I kept around, never did anything with them and tossed them.

Thanks. I couldn't remember the history of it but that sums it up. I think too some of this spilled over into the civil servant sector. Public employee's being paid on the size of the budget they manage. One example is Jack Lew making 850k at NYU.

Perhaps CEO compensation disparity arose from M/A years ago and LBO's. One company buys another, CEO of company B is now history, CEO of company A collects both salaries. Or, CEO compensation with stock. Stock price rose, salaries rose, stock price fell, salaries still rose on future stock...

Wait..I got one more..i just remebered. My one daughter made this half assed looking jewelry box. She gave it to her sister, her sister rolled her eyes at me. I wrapped it back up and we gave it back to her about 15 minutes later.

One Christmas... everyone very busy unwrapping, I wrapped my grandaughter coat gloves and just one boot that she wore over to the house. The other boot I left unwrapped. I'm handing her the stuff all wrapped up. She's opening these thing up and not quite catching on what is happening. Hmnnn...

It's incredible to think of one's ancestors living in trees, walking naked through the forest and starting fires by rubbing two sticks together. But shit happens when my grandparents hit the gin.

You feel it unfair that 50 to 100 top executives get obscene rewards and the 100,000 other employes fight for scraps. -------------------------------------------- I wonder if the soundman for a Jay-Z concert is bitchin about what Jay z makes.

I posted on another thread. Volcker then Greenspan both encouraged wage deflation to contain inflation. What changed? Imo, it's a back door method to raise revenue for the Fed and SS.

I ran some numbers. 40 hrs a week @$7.75 and as an example a new $10.00 min wage. The Fed picks up an extra 13.50 a week in new revenue. Social security 5.58 Plus the employer kicks in another 5.58 Medicare $1.30 additional revenue. ----------------------------

Was watching a documentary about Alzheimer's last night, and my wife turns to me and says "What a horrible condition, if I ever get Alzheimer's , I think I'll just shoot myself". "I know" I replied, "You said that 5 minutes ago".

Good post. :cool:

I like Sowell. No disrespect but who in the F is he talking to? Oh I know...he's talking to Obama supporters. For all his thousands of words he has written he might as well be throwing a penny in a wishing well.

Perez already has threatened lawsuits against companies using criminal background checks to screen new hires. Why? They can lead to a "disparate impact" on minority applicants. With Perez at Labor's helm, don't count on the cable guy or plumber you let in your home not being a felon. Chances...
