  • Don't need a calculator.

  • If the people who serve our fast food, wash our restaurant dishes, gut and clean cattle, chickens and hogs, and perform thousands of unskilled or limited skill jobs can't put a roof over their heads, feed themselves and their families, pay for doctor visits, and live their final years with dignity when they are too old or disabled to continue working, then these people are simply chattel. No different than the slaves that produced goods and services for their 'massa's' a century back.

That's because you weren't working 12 hours a day, 10 days a week.

Lazy, low life worker!!!!.............LOL

What do you mean there's only 7 days in a week?

That can't be right.

Call ALEC, we need to adjust that..........................

Some folks have a problem distinguishing that, especially around here.

On the other hand, it's very important that we implement the 10 day work week, so we can keep up working 120 hours a week.

And all that to participate in a corporatist society. Yippee!

To be honest?

The auto industry really is hiring and training here in S.E. Michigan.

Just don't think that that had anything at all to do with Snyder's policies..

It doesn't.
