Starvation Wages

Ain't dat de trufe? And so many kids go through college seeking a librul arts degree and then wonder why they can't find a job after graduating. It seems that the bleeding heart job market is saturated.

Verily.

They're also the type who get the first and best raises, become managers, and so on. Capability, hard work, and willingness are rewarded.

Until he goes on the dole, all the while screaming about no jobs to be found and demanding his "rights" since "we _owe_ him"...

Very nice. I save too. And I was, so far, moderately lucky with my choice of what to invest in and, more importantly, what not to invest in.

However, I have seen enough to realize that a couple of instances of "bad luck" can ruin everything when it comes to savings. For example, a divorce and a health trouble.

Is that, like a self-help book?

I am on my first change...

Sigh...

It reminds me of the warranty card from McD D:

Now Gunner, why would you kill me again just for bragging on your sure fire money making scheme? And why run away from your own numbers? Coward!

How is that you idiots are at the same time you're whining about failing to make a decent living? Why do you like deadbeats who don't pay taxes or healthcare insurance and who'd rather spend their days telling ridiculous lies? What's your explanation for wishing that the people who've done better than you to be killed? Why do you run away from the most obvious questions but spend countless hours talking total horseshit as if it were true?

Any troll that inflamtory, probably has sticking power. And a few spare user names?

. Christ> Sigh...

picking the right parents is also very helpful...

Hundreds actually.
