And as a gentle reminder of why... here is the full breakdown of "young vs old" jobs since the start of the Depression in December 2007: those 55 and older have gained 4.9 million jobs. Those under 55 are still some 3.1 million jobs below their December 2007 level.

  J.R. my friend of at least 5-6 years. I've traversed many a thread and idea with you.(and Sue Ellen)

    We've discussed the euro and aud. We've discussed interest rates/debt. We've shared various websites for trading.

   J.R. my friend, it only gets better!

It’s great knowing you, Yen. It’s been a long journey and, together, we’ve made substantial progress. I see light at the end of the tunnel…

As you say, Yen, it only gets better!!

Yeah my place of work is full of those visa holding Indian engineers.The company lays off 800 engineers ,well really did not lay them off. They transferred them to an Indian based engineering firm (HCL)who after 6 months layed off over 95% of the transferred employees. And brought over their visa holders. A couple of years back during an upcoming layoff I actually had my manger who makes 6 figures tell me "people in India need jobs too". WTF,She had nothing to worry about. So are you talking about those illegal job takers taking the jobs away? Or the poor fucks picking the produce from the fields for a buck or two a bushel? You know the jobs those youngsters could do if ma and pa stopped paying for their smart phones.

Couldn't have happened to a more gullible group of people.

Of course that would never happen to those other groups of people drowning in their infinite intellect, who believed and cheered all the way to Baghdad and beyond. Those WMD have to be somewhere still, right?

From TF Metals report, a former Obama supporter calls him a sham...but that's not quite the main message.

Setting a tshirt on fire is involved.

Voting is like choosing which hole your rapist penetrates--You're still going to be fucked and hurt in the morning.

True. And here's another analogy about different political parties;

                 "they spend their time fighting over which nail in the coffin to bang in next"

I prefer to think of voting as privately declaring which shit sandwich you're going to have to take a bite of.

 

They all taste shitty.

And not being able to vote is being raped without even the choice...

Choosing between the two they chose to represent their interests is not a choice. It's a farce.

And if the institution having the vote is criminal, as the DC US is, then it is, at a minimum, participation in their criminality.

"Voting is like choosing which hole your rapist penetrates--You're still going to be fucked and hurt in the morning."

Hmmm, so the choice is a sore ass or a sore throat?

I think I know what I'd vote for.  At least I will be able to answer the phone when the pollster calls - even if I'm standing!

Careful! You know what will happen when the Millenials all get to the point where they cannot stand it anymore? Well, actually they will blog about it.

Young Adults wonder why older adults don't trust them with important decisions - here we have Case in Point #1.

They elected a fascist stoner who is destroying the country.

You stupid, idiotic, young fools.

Personally, I think it would have had much more social significance if she had had nothing on under the shirt. JMO.

What's the kid in the picture texting?  Is he expressing a "like" for Miley's latest?

Maybe if we raised the minimum wage this wouldn't be a problem?

 

Rats, forgot to set my Sarcasm Font tag.  Any programmers out there that can help me?
