Shut 'Er Down!
So they are talking about a government shutdown.
Blah, blah, blah...they can't get along. He said this...she said that...I'm going to take my ball and go home.
I say, shut it the hell down!
Do it for long enough so that we can save a little money on the goofy bastards who work for the government and do about 2 hours work in every 8 hour day.
I say, let them enjoy a nice, long lay-off like the poor people in the country have had to suck on for the last whatever, three years?
Lay 'em all off. Congresmmen, senators, press secretaries, vice-president, president. Let 'em all stand in a line for cheese that they buy with their food stamps.
Better yet, make them get real jobs. I know a bunch of construction companies where they could actually get their hands dirty and understand what it means to do back-breaking work.
If they actually had to work a couple of weeks perhaps they'd go back and do their jobs with some sense of what it takes all of us to do ours.
I read a great article the other day by Mitch Albom a columnist out of Detroit. He wrote all of those best-sellers as well.
Anyway, Albom was talking about the state of the working man in this country and how the middle is getting squeezed there as well. The big shots laid off the lowest rung of their employees and made those poor bastards in the middle suck it up. Fear that they'd be losing their jobs as well, the number of hours on the job doubled and tripled.
It was all because of the economy. Watch Judge Judy sometime...every person standing in front of her is unemployed and has been for about a year. They always say, 'The way the economy is....'
And we've accepted that the economy sucks. Either you don't have a job or you have a job where you work a zillion hours at a flat rate. Then the top cats, who've found that profits are going back up, haven't bothered to hire the low guys back.
"We can run the company by running the middle into the ground, why do we need to add those employees we fired?"
And what to do with the profits?
"Well, those profits are mine. I took the risk to start the company in the first place."
So there is no low-level employee and the middle guy is getting burnt the hell out. The low guys are now appearing on Judge Judy. And if anyone asks:
"We blame it on the economy, even though we are making more money now than we did before."
So shut it all the hell down. Leave Kelly and Regis alone and we can have the entire working poulation of the country at home, collecting benefits, and wondering when the fat cats are going to throw us another crumb.
(Just a little rant here. My freaking leg still hurts. It may not actually make sense, but it passed the time until the next pain pill).
