    You'll note that for 65+ that's about a 10% labor force participation rate. Considering the 55+ rate is 30% they are retiring about on schedule. The peak of the baby boom hasn't hit 65 yet. Rate for 55-59 is over 70%. Putting these groups together is a really good example of 'lying with statistics'!

    When you bring debatables into the discussion, it doesn't help.

    Forth would be Edi Amine. He self applied the label IIRC.

    By any reasonable definition of Fascist. Right now: Venezuela, Saudi, Pakistan, N. Korea. But all debateable.

    A friend of mine was the only person to make a _penny_ on 'Health Hero Network' stock. Because I talked him into unloading his options at the end of one of his 'that stupid frog is so fucking clueless' rants about his boss.

    The third, undisputed, label self-applying, historic 'fascist' leader was Franco.

    But you're basically right. Franco cared, a lot, about Catholicism though.

  19. Re: Good advice if you work at Red Lobster on 'Quit Your Day Job Is Garbage Advice' (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I've worked back of house at mostly pretty fancy places.

    If a server sucks, they are generally just fired. Not like there is a shortage. If you suck, you don't get lunch, you get kicked.

    Competent servers switch shifts pretty regularly. Managers that get too pissy, get to hire the incompetent servers. It's a high turnover role.

    Which isn't to say Red Lobster and Olive Garden type places get great waitstaff, the bills are too low for the waitstaff to make good money there.

    If your employer can't make payroll, even one day late, and you are not actively looking, you are a fool.

    I took work (and company assets) home, the only time this ever happened to me. That company eventually paid and never even knew the assets had left the building (as I brought them back after I got paid).

    On the flip side, I knew a mechanic who was unfortunate enough to be on his day off when the IRS showed up and locked down his employer's facility. He was eventually charged with 'grand theft' for using his keys to enter and retrieve his own toolbox full of tools. Didn't even break the cop seal, but they claimed he saw it on the front door. Eventually walked, but the shyster bills were brutal.

    He rode to school on the short bus. Give the dude a little credit. Even though he claims to not be a genuine 'tard, reading his posts, he clearly has some challenges.

    There are people for who paying their own way through life is a major accomplishment. My first job was in a restaurant kitchen with a seriously retarded guy. He never complained and worked hard.
