Don't worry folks you may still use the term "retardation" when referring to local, state, or federal government leaders, policies, or wasteful spending. This is not only allowed, it's preferred.
Once upon a time, God came down to this earth probably on his space ship and populated the earth with homosaphians. We are all just one big science experiment and possibly only a moment away from God's boredom to start over.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if energy companies are influencing local governments to stop wind turbines. Although not the greatest thing to look at, my argument to Monaca local government is that there is no difference between a turbine and a rather large tree. A tree has the capability of doing just as much damage if not more if it were to blow down on to a neigbor's property. Local Gov of course will try and catagorize this as an act of nature, but a wind turbine can always be inspected for safety and are probably much safer than a tree.
When's the last time the Government ran a successful organization? Cash for Clunkers, Homeland Defense, US Post Office, Government Motors, the banking system? Let me say I am skeptical anytime the US Gov gets involved or wants to control a program because ultimately it cost the taxpayers BIG TIME, due to their unlimited spending attitudes. Less Government is best in my opinion and Government creates more problems that it solves. The policies they create in turn confine and contrict capitalism and even our freedoms. I have health care through my company and beleive me it's not the greatest, but I pay into it annually, yet now I have to pay through increased taxes for the non-contributers and even illegals aliens! I certainly want both parties to debate this before passing this bill through.
I agree with Doc G, When I read this article, I realized someone needs to assume responsibility, and ultimately the Administration will have to except the blame and consequences. But in all honestly, they can only do so much because how to do you teach a bunch of crawlers that are being raised by a bunch of crawler parents? Ignorance is breeding ignorance and passing on their lack of values to their children. Just because you can have children doesn't mean you should. I’d like to know how many Youngstown parents have opened a 529 college savings plan for their children. And ignorance threatens our way of life just as much as external treats if not more. We are watching our great country implode from within because it’s bloated with ignorance and non-contributors. They are taught to depend on the Eagle to $hit in their mailbox each month. And let’s be honest, the less fortunate have all the income based incentives in front of them to better themselves, but they choose not. Parents are equally if not more to blame here. And just to set the record straight, I grew up in a single parent home on lower West Side of Youngstown near Steel Street and am living proof that you can crawl out from the bottom to make something of yourself.
Very well said Search, I agree with the bubble comment 100%. Let market forces work naturally, and if people don't buy cars then the manufacturers need to reduce their prices or come up with better incentives. This Government spending needs to stop, it's careless and reckless and is not working.
By the way I was watching a little bit of the Buick open yesterday, and noticed how they were advertising the newly redesigned 2010 Buick Lacross. I was shocked to hear they want $27,000 for a base model! Do they really think they are going to get that??? Hell, you can buy an Accord Sedan for 2 grand more and have it fully loaded and it will hold it's value. A loaded Buick Lacross would be low 40's. What is GM thinking? It's a sharp car but it's not a Mercedes!
Good point Cam, I've said the same thing about illegal immigrants, if they don't have jobs they will leave. And employers who hire them should be responsible for their medical costs in addition to fines and jail. Basically the governement has created this mess by not allowing insurrance companies to compete in a free market arena.
I'm not criticizing these folks AE, God bless them and I'm truely glad they have work and they are meeting their needs. However it's a tough unrewarding job, but I guess rewards are what you make of it. Like you, I chose not persue this career field, but I'm certainly not criticizing them.
Normally you work your way up in a retail company, and the company trains you for management, but times are always changing and some companies may require a degree. I suppose that may be the norm now, but it's literally impossible to go to school with retail hours unless your company is very pro education. I worked the retail gig for about 5 years while putting myself through school, and when management possibilities were presented, I quickly passed. Long hours (48 on avg. and salary), low pay, subpar benefits, and you have to put up with a lot of bull. And if you don’t' work with good people, it makes for one long day. And, then there's the lovely public to deal with. You better like people! God I can't tell you how much I despise going into Element-mart. It's the worst shopping experience one can endure! And as far as respectable? Let’s just say you won’t see much from those you serve.
Honestly this could be an improvement in that they can use the pure mountain spring water from the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania instead of that recycled city water.
