Something makes me want to grab him by the neck. It's either how much I hate his smug ******** or the fact his neck looks like a *****
When Michael Moore was talking bout healthcare on a news channel that was playing on the big TV while I was eating at the Cheesecake Factory, I told the waiter that I refused to take healthcare advice from a person whose neck looked like a ******.
Very true. Hard for me to take him seriously with that thing bouncing around. I don't like him to begin with anyway.
Really, the only thing that makes me feel sad about the election of Donald Trump is the fact that working class Americans think a billionaire (made from his daddy's money) cares about them again.....almost like watching the big money come in buy the land in WV and send good people to mine their coal for them....subjecting their new slaves to black lung and other intense dangers, then peeling them off a ridiculously small fraction of the profit....then hearing the miner praise the rich for giving them their meek existence.
There was a time that the government didn't take the responsibility to feed those who would not feed themselves. Investors risked their money to build a business(capitalism), workers had the free choice to work or starve. Both sides made the free choice that workers would provide labor and the owners would exchange a payday for the use of the labor. Win/win situation. Although the wages were poor, the payday recruited a workforce to provide an opportunity to work in exchange for a payday. The alternative to a payday, those who chose to not work suffered the consequence of no money to feed the family. Faced with that choice, men took the payday.
Tough times, but people had to eat.
True. As the Rockefeller's of the nation dined in luxury and discussed strategy to increase the weight of their yokes (like company script), it was the brave worker willing to lose it all through organizing a collective voice that carved out any identity for the American family in the landscape of our nations history. Now (although corrupt in a lot of cases I agree) we vilify the unions that protected the American worker. We seem to once again praise the wealthy for providing their helping hand. I'm not for redistribution, I'm for justice. Maybe you think Trump is that voice....I'm not so sure.
I don't know how to respond to this without sounding condescending, but I don't share your viewpoint. I own several small businesses outside of my normal day to day job. I guess, my position is people have a choice, they can be the creator and risk taker and enjoy the perks that come with that, or they can be the worker and have their choices be at the whim of the former. I've both. Experience in the latter led me to begin taking those risks and charting my own path.
As a leader, you can take advantage of your workforce or pay a man a wage he is worth. I think the disconnect comes in where people have a belief that they have higher personal self worth than what the position really calls for. Nothing wrong with that. The way it should work is they use that to further build themselves up and allow them to take risks to free themselves and grow themselves. Most people don't though. They stay content with their position and want more without doing what it takes to get more. They allow themselves the opening of having no control over their lives by the choices they make. Basically, while the world does need ditchdiggers, if you find yourself in that position, you have the choice if you'll remain in it.
Very true. The grey area for me is when you look at certain "ditch digging" jobs. At the turn of the century, mining coal was as important to this nation as anything. Coal miners and Steele workers were vital to our nations strength and future prosperity. The atmosphere of the worker in these industries needed to be one of pride, success (albeit modest), and satisfaction. Smart and capable people are needed in the mines and mills (for safety and production). I have extreme bias here, but today I believe we need great minds and hearts in our public school system. So many kids are growing up without the parenting and positive influence of the past. Our teachers can help to provide a sense of integrity that has been lost. However, growing class sizes and lack of wages in many areas of the country are forcing the best out. It's the same as the "ditch digger" attitude. Hard to blame them. But we need a better environment more conducive to keeping the best at the jobs we need them for.
But the public schools are Gov't ran. Hard to complain about a "baron" in a sector that no one is getting rich off of.
No real complaints with the private school system. No one is getting rich. Teachers are paid adequately and the resulting output of products are where they're supposed to be.
IMO having grown up in an education household, the Teacher's union and the beauracracy of the school system and Gov't have led to its downfall. Not to mention the decline of the traditional American household creating the latchkey kids.
Lol, Donnie sure has a hold of your *****! What a buffoon, support him now cause it is just gonna get harder.
