The people who think like those at Occupy Whatever would be protesting that the old folks aren't dying fast enough and that they are entitled to the jobs and property of anyone over 80.
You have apparently never been unemployed...I have. Fifty four dollars pays your water bill...so you can shower for interviews. It's a weeks worth of food.
For people looking for work and needing flexibility to interview, this could be the perfect fill in job.
You have a job that could help that person stay afloat until things pick up. You won't give it to him. If your accountant needed the extra work and he was willing to unclog your toilet and knew how ( the position you speak of apparently doesn't call for special skills), then you should hire him. Beer guy can go back to the dorm and eat Top Ramen like college kids are supposed to.
I was unemployed for ten months. I got my fat ass in a job seat by offering value to the company, helping to reduce their expenses and contributing directly to their bottom line.
Note that I did not go down to some bank protest and bitch and moan that I was unemployed or ask the tax payers to pay my mortgage.
And it seems to me that if your are round filing these resumes, you are part of the problem, not part of the solution. Who knows, "beer money" may help one of these people keep their home. You don't want to give them a job...why is that? You'd rather have some idiot that you can tell what to do instead of someone who thinks for themselves? Talk about a fucking hypocrite.
Plus, it's is highly doubtful that these highly educated people you are casually dismissing as potential employees are down at the local bitch fest that is occupy my ass. More likely they are out there look for work and hoping to avoid assholes like you who probably ask questions like "why were you laid off?"or, "why haven't you found work yet?".
What's really fun is that the Left Wing faction of Slashdot is sitting at the protest (in their own urine, no doubt) modding down comments using their internet enabled iPhone or Droid while protesting the very same corporations that created these devices and provide internet services.
Actually all it takes is a well diversified portfolio that balances risk with growth. I know many people who have substantial retirement accounts and while they did take a hit, they have since recovered and are growing a bit now.
If you lost all your savings, it's because you put all your eggs in one basket.
I drove by Occupy Austin last night. Freaks and weirdos doesn't begin to to describe them. Just check YouTube and you'll see dozens of interviews with these "protestors" that
A) Don't really have a clue what they are protesting, B) If they do have some idea of why they are there, their proposed remedy is "free" stuff. C) A great many are "students" blowing Mommy and Daddy's money by skipping class to be there. D) Whining about EEEvil Corporations while sporting iPods and iPhones from what is off and on the most highly valued corporation in the world.
M.L.K. is turning over in his grave at suggestions that this is something like the Civil Rights protests.
It's actually nothing more than spoiled brats jumping on the latest thing or people that got a degree in Advanced Pottery Making and are pissed they can't get a $60k a year job to pay off their $200,000 education loan. Or, people who decided to play in the housing market and got burned, but only after having flipped several other houses, thereby contributing to the bubble.Or, people who used sub-prime loans to buy homes they KNEW they couldn't afford.
In the end his will be seen as a self indulgent tantrum put on by those who refuse to accept responsibility for the own actions.
And before anyone gets their panties in a twist, if any of the "bankers" broke the law, throw the book at them. But don't look to your buddy Obama to do that. Most of those evil Wall Street firms gave most of their money to him last time around.
A business executive is a leader. They understand organization, bureaucrats (yes, business have these types too) and delegation.
A community organizer understands none of this. They understand political connections, special favors, and pandering. And we've seen what those get us.
If running a business is nothing like running a country, then organizing a community is the opposite of running a country.
Well, he didn't include a "~" at the end of the line.
Regarding the snarky point, it seems that people are way too anxious to throw out a system that works for the vast majority of people (50 million uninsured is pure hyperbole) in order to address the needs of a minority.
Costs are escalating and it won't be long before it crashes...call it a health care bubble if you want.
But the solution is not to try to figure out how to shoe-horn in more people and meet the existing cost structure. Rather, there needs to be a very hard look at what the cost entail. Is it greedy insurance companies? There is probably some of that.
My bet though, is excessive and ill-thought out regulations by the states and feds...just think of Dick Durbin's "well intentioned" regulation that ended up hiking the fees on checking accounts.
I bet you find the health care regulatory ecosystem is rife with these kinds of things. They need to be rooted out. I also feel there needs to be much more transparency and communication. Too many things are hidden from the consumer either intentionally or unintentionally.
Although health care sucks for "50 million"~, the answer is not to make it suck for the other 250 million.

Slashdot Mirror
3275? Not 3276 or 3274?
"It's People!"
"and out perform the major networks."
That wouldn't really be hard to do with the crap they show these days.
And he's probably at some Occupy love in.

News for ya. Your so called 99% is actually about 2%. The rest of us work, pay taxes and follow the law.
As for the coming rebellion...bring it mofo.
Blah, Blah Blah.

YOU are the problem.

Typical.

I work for one of those large corporations that have their boot on your neck.
Like it? Here, have another.
Stupid fuck.

Irony.
They are a movement alright...a long stinky one.
The Twilight Zone and the X-Files specifically.

I'll tell you what they mean.
The mean mass murder, repression, terror and eventual starvation.
And the Occupy morons are championing them because THEY have no idea what these terms mean.
I drove by Occupy Austin last night. Freaks and weirdos doesn't begin to to describe them. Just check YouTube and you'll see dozens of interviews with these "protestors" that

Some people just know themselves well.
But then this may be tax avoidance, which would be perfectly legal.
If that's the case then the only thing Google could be accused of is hypocrisy.
A Dollar says that Google management has major sympathies towards the Occupy morons.

"...government is not bound by..."
This pretty much explains how we got to where we are today.
