I said it's sad that a garbage man, within 5.5 years of service, can make more than almost any enlisted man can hope to. I made no comment on the Verizon issue whatsoever. As far as the whole issue, while I don't necessarily disagree with Verizon, it was definitely in bad taste. Looks like they eventually made the right call.
Didn't see the picture, which is why I said "Let's say he's an E-2." Guess what, I also provided all of the sources for which I came to my numbers, so you too, for the low price of free, can determine what any rank would make. I know, requires some effort, sorry about that.
Let's say he's an E-2. According to the 2010 Military Pay Table located here he'd be making 1622.10 a month before the bonuses. His BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing) as an E-2 with a dependent is 619.50. Add to that his family separation allowance of $250 (since I assume he was away from his wife). According to the pay table, his hazard pay (assuming he wasn't on an air crew or in a submarine or something like that) is $150. The BAQ allowance would vary based on where he lives assuming his wife lived off base when he deployed. But that would essentially just cover housing costs. So he makes a grand total of approximately 2641.6 a month to defend our country, assuming he's an E-2 with typical years in service for an E-2. That sounds like a lot, but then let's look at the parent's claim that he makes less than a typical garbage man in a large city. Searched at random for a large city's sanitation work site, found this for New York. They start off making 31,200 a year. Assuming they get paid bi-monthly, that's 1300.00 every paycheck, or 2600 a month, right off the bat, and can increase to as much as slightly over 67,000. So right off the bat, a garbage man makes, without accounting for any benefits, just slightly less than an E-2 who is married, in a combat zone, and lives on base. As the increases for the sanitation workers is periodic, and judging the fact that within 5.5 years they are making near or at their cap (a cap that enlisted won't reach for some time even with benefits), I'd say that his claim is valid (and rather sad).
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft and Apple struck a deal for that, considering Microsoft and Google are mortal enemies, no one gives a shit about Yahoo anymore, and let's be honest here, Microsoft doesn't lose a lot of market share to Apple so they aren't as likely to be mortal enemies as fans of either company tend to be.
You kids need to stop playing that fucking World of Warcraft game. There are no such thing as Elfs, whether they be night or blood varieties. But Orcs, as we all know, are real.
Yeah, down here in the south, the drivers are bad enough without adding a 5th or 6th road into the equation. Hell, most morons down here could barely comprehend how to handle a three-way stop, and four-way stops are a good way to see an accident if you are patient.
Ironically that actually seems to make more sense to me than most of the 5 or 6 way stops I've seen, but then again, I've always thought of roundabouts (more common in Europe than the US) make more sense and are more efficient than multiple-way stops.
They couldn't put six way stop sign controlled stops where I live, due to the difficulty morons here have just dealing with a four-way stop. Seriously, I've witnessed all four ways at a four way stop here at a stand still while the slow minds of the retards that live here try to figure out who's supposed to go first.
But in such wonderful fashion. Although I have to say, never have I become more hateful towards the TV than when the clock ticks towards the end of an hour, leaving me in suspenseful disbelief.
Yeah, in crazy land perhaps. Never seen one in my life, and thank god too, because as bad as the drivers are where I live, I know how hard it'd be for these people here to handle a 5+ way stop, even if lights were placed there.
I had a job where I worked at a call center doing tech support. Played PSP (especially turned based strategy games like FFT and Disgaea while on calls helping people fix their net problems. Was hilarious because not only did managers know about it, but as long as you did your job, they didn't even mind it.

Hey shut the fuck up, I like watching Jack Bauer slit people's throats!
You mean we fucking paid for it, not just you. Unless you've been taking care of everyone's tax bill all this time.

So a garbage man working in NYC with three years experience would still end up making more than him.

Just makes you an easier target.
You are more patient than me. Would've ran that light eventually.

What in the fuck does Optimus Prime have to do with vehicle detectors?
I say blame the French. Those assholes!
So what happened? Did the light ever change?
You know what you call a motorcyclist? Organ donor.
Five way intersection? What the fuck? Source or I call bullshit. Google map that bitch
