What happened to all of the doom and gloom economic threads?

Why would you need to negotiate a new labor deal every two years?

Flexibility.

I never said I owned the business I managed for 30 years. I simply managed all aspects of it and reported to the owners and the Board. Through almost 15 labor contracts that business never lost money, and that didn't happon because I'm stupid or didn't have a better idea, just saying. So blow that smoke somewhere else.

Try your theory on your fellow students.

In thinking about it, this post by vetteman is quite telling.

Note he doesn't address whether the business was profitable, merely that it "never lost money." We are left to wonder if the product/service was priced competitively, or in the absence of competition, priced for maximum profitability.

Instead, vetteman speaks to only what he knows, "labour contracts", which explains why he sees - and is adamant about - only one-half of the solution to our current fiscal dilemma. 'Cut, cut, cut' is all he knows. Can't fathom the other side of the revenue equation.

Paraphrasing Pope, "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing."

I'd say that he's a bit shy of "a little knowledge".

Good luck on holding the commies off much longer Koala. I think you may have fucked us over worse than I thought. I wasn't expecting shit to start turning for at least another five or six years but it might be time to button the hatches and watch the chaos. Specially if that double dip that I heard (but find unlikely) hits next year.

What double dip, the brilliant voters put the same idiots back in office and expect different results.

"Manager" of a business that has a board? Sounds like he was a manager of a franchise and submitted the monthly p&l. Or he was the secretary of a large corporation. "No, Mr. Smith is in a meeting. Can I take a message? "

Sounds like he never signed the front of a paycheck.

Lets hope we get the same results and that the voters were brilliant.

Maybe they don't.

Maybe they don't trust either party left to its own devices.

So if we fall off the cliff, who will they distrust more?

Judging by the MASSIVE propaganda effort mounted by the state sponsored media, there's no doubt the Pubs will get the blame for Obama's assault on America.

Do you hear the soft cries of boiling frogs?

I do.

No, being humanitarian we knock them out before taking their legs.

Feed 'em canned corn first?

If I recall correctly, Vetty's first heterosexual wife got her daddy to give Vetty a job at the front desk of the printing plant he owned after he was booted out of the Marines.

So yeah, he wasn't lying much when he said he "reported to the owner".

You're tired.

We grab them by hand, other times we put a light on them and then tap on the head with a Crappie jig, and being greedy Democrats always trying to steal things that don't belong to them, they get nailed on the hook.

I'm not tired.

But then, I'm not the one who's displaced Miles as the King of Whine Threads.

Those are big boots to fill.

They draw you in like a hyena, don't they ?

This metaphor needs diagramming.

Or at least an explanation.

Seven syllable words are okay, if you need to fall back on them.

Who cares as long as we have a conservative from whatever party? Pubs have to get back to their conservative roots their new role as neo-statists will fail. They'd have to communize the nation to out do the Democrats.

Sorry old man, no jackboots in the foreseeable future for you to lick.

Have you considered emigrating to Israel? You'd like it there. Virtually a perpetual war footing, lotsa ethnic cleansing and enough hatred there to make an authoritarian-follower such as yourself feel right at home!
