What Next?

OK, so now workers have a 'right' to paid family leave? This should be interesting. Who gets to do the paying? The employer? And where does he or she get the money to do that, as well as hire someone to do your job while you're away? Isn't that discriminatory to those of us who aren't in 'a family way'? Why can't I get paid for sitting around the house with my dogs?

I wish I was from another planet. I'd make a fortune selling tourist tickets to this one.

    Love it. How about doing any job that actually produces something that other people actually want at a profit for at least 1 year?

    In society, as with raising teenagers, you get what you tolerate.

    In their minds, capitalism represents theft of land, rape of the earth and subjucation of the conquered. Looting from capitalism and capitalists, then, represents turnaround and fair play.
    And when they have reverted to living in caves and fighting for scraps of what once was, they will tell rich stories around glowing campfires of the glorious time when they defeated the rich.
    If we let them.

    How do you know that they're not selling tickets presently? It would be categorized as a comedy-drama. Once again, Shakespeare's elf, Puck is quotable: "Lord, what fools these mortals be."

    It's really annoying when politicians buy votes with money that I have to pay. Their arguments about what employees 'deserve' have no connection with the fact that the only way we can pay employees is that employees are doing work which brings in the money. I know politicians can borrow without limit but we have to make ends meet -- and dare I say it .. make a profit? (I know that's evil, but only by being profitable can you survived down times).

    Proposed Constitutional Amendment 28:

    No candidate may run for President, Vice President, Senator, or Representative unless they can document that they have run a hot dog stand or fast food restaurant profitably for at least 1 year.

    Whats next?
    Bankruptcy for all the small businesses and collapsing sales due to higher prices for big businesses (passed along from higher costs.)
    The US dollar will come crashing down like the Berlin Wall, and there will be NO middle class because there will be so few jobs.
    What do you expect from letting an irrational looter run the biggest organization in the world?

    A couple of weeks ago one of my employees was called to jury duty. Luckily she only had to do one day, but she came back to inform me that the judge told them that their employers had to pay them because they should not be "punished" for jury duty.
    Well, how the hell about me? How am I supposed to pay someone for an indefinite time for producing nothing? It made me furious. No worry- just "punish" the employer, and if the employer says she can't do it, in the words of Rand, "Oh, you'll find a way!"
