BILLIONAIRE Wilbur Ross sez he is "disappointed" in those who call in sick. How long would you work without pay before you did likewise?

    Not an hour.
    Not like they could fire anyone ... since they are violating federal and state wage laws.


    BTW - have you seen the new app that gives you a payroll advance based on your hours worked?
    What a coincidence it was launched now, huh?

    I'm not up on apps Walt but it does seem a rather oddly timed coinkydink doesn't it? Sheesh. What a mess and getting messier and biglier daily. I wonder how puppet boy is gonna get himself out of the mess he has created. I read yesterday that the White House is preparing for a shutdown that could last until March or April. How the he** do you prepare for that? It shows the depth of his madness though. Thank you for your reply and Happy Friday m'dear!   :) This post was edited by RosieG at January 25, 2019 7:22 AM MST

    I wouldn't have known about the app, except there were a couple commercials on TV about it.

    That's the beauty of ads Walt. Sometimes one of 'em rings a bell for ya. Mostly we try to ignore them. I love when we use the DVR. Them we fast-forward through the commercials. I wonder how many folks do that? All those advertising dollars waste! Thank you for the info! :)

    The wealthy can't understand the plight of the poor/unfortunate as they are "above" them.  

    * Attention all federal workers not being paid  - WALK OFF YOUR JOBS (100% participation required).  You'll have a paycheck and your job back within a week. *  No protests.  No threats.  Just show the idiots in charge that YOU make this country function, not them!! (Guaranteed they wont find anyone to replace you)

    Other than 10% of any workforce who will stay no matter what, out of a sense of duty ... it wouldn't even need 100% participation.
    50% would be more than enough to cripple any agency.
    25% walking would be enough to trigger a chain reaction of people leaving within a couple days.

    Or even a majority from a single department - the Social Security Administration.  Ensuring no SS checks go out.  Government would be forced to end the nonsense, or literally attacked by mobs of senior citizens.

    Jim and me too Walt. Well then let's just see who is chicken here. The puppet boy already backed down humiliatingly to Nancy. Seems he didn't KNOW that she OWNS the House in terms of who is invited to speak. He thought he could show up and take over. When he said it was her prerogative I knew he knew he had lost bigly. What an ignoramus he is! Thank you for your very informative reply and the link you kindly provided.! I appreciate bigly! :)

    I don't understand how these folks would keep working for a proven idiot. If he does this once he can do it again and again and again and again. Unless they are all adoring worshippers. I hope they are. They brought this on us and so it is only appropriate that they suffer the consequences. Mean of me? Maybe. SIGH. Thank you for your reply Shuhak and Happy Friday! :)

    He is going to be more than disappointed when the air traffic controllers lose control over the air waves.

    We are so close to disaster right now, Wilbur is the least of our problems.

    I sure as he** would stop traveling immediately. Our safety is now absolutely jeopardized in all ways and so you tke your life in your hands if you expect your life to go on as before. I don't know what it will take to shake the faith his adoring worshippers have in him. Perhaps they will die first before they abandon him. Thank you for your reply Sharon!  :)
