That used to be the American way. Trail blazing has a whole new definition in how this country will work. I can't help but feel we're literally watching historic changes taking place and that's why nothing can be done about change. Change is always painful.

50 years from now working grandkids will marvel at the idea that we had company benefits AND a job outside of the home. It will all seem prehistoric to them how we worked "in the old days."

Banks & post offices will become completely virtual at some point.

And Wall Street will become the amusement park that it is with a museum of old machinery, chairs and headsets.

Great, my brother-in-law is mid-management at Lowes.

This is how they erode the American worker and cut costs:

Hire part-time workers instead of full-time (they don't have to pay any benefits for part-time workers).

The USA is a sinking ship, and I one of the rats am planning as much as possible to be on that raft when the time comes.

I'm sorry, DIRI. Maybe he'll be one that the mist passes over. Would it help to put the bug in his ear to start kissing hiney?
