Yep, screw the workers has become the rallying cry of many businesses, it has filled the void left when “the customer’s always right” was removed from management training manuals.

Bryan, when I was working for a pizza establishment in a state that established 30 hour per weeks as “full time” allowing unemployment pay, our managers were under orders to schedule nobody for more than 29 hours a week. And that was in the 80’s. Same old, same old…

One of the things I have noticed about Florida is that a lot of business have a habit of firing people just before they get in the three months that would qualify they for unemployment. The local Republicans really are pining for slavery.

Of course none of this matters a damn anyway if you weren’t lucky enough to have a job to lose.

What are you sorry about, Steve? This thing is an atrocity and Obama is blaming his failure to lead on everyone but himself.

He did this without the Dems, so let him get it passed. If I was Pelosi, I wouldn’t even schedule a vote. The Repubs are going to have to write and whip this sucker, and I see even less chance of a vote in the Senate.

I’m sorry, but this deal sucks. And Obama seems hardly even to have tried to improve it; instead, he spent his presser whining about how nasty liberals are to him.

As for the GOP, if every one of those bastards had to spend even one month living the way America’s newly poor live, … actually, no, they probably wouldn’t notice because they aren’t living paycheck to paycheck. Fcuk ’em, and I’m not offering to do the job.
