79 weeks PTO
wouldn't that be nice?

No doubt, the democrats are going to say that 79 weeks is not long enough, and it must be extended to 150 weeks.
Hell, let's make it a lifetime benefit.
No wonder this country is circling the drain.
Quote:
Ms. Lampley, 40, who is married with three children, lost her job as a human resources officer in January 2008 and had been receiving $351 a week, which covered the groceries and gas. Even so, she and her husband, who still has work as a machinist, were sinking into debt. Now, still poorer, she feels devastated because they cannot buy their son a laptop to take to college and she cannot give her 9-year-old son money for the movies.

Is this the criteria these days for tragedy? Are we going to have a new Steinbeck who will tell the tale of families who cannot afford laptops for their children? Or who must buy PCs instead of Macs?!!!! |
