Every morning, the President must look in the drawer for the slip of paper, and read it.......This is my ass, this is a hole in the ground
Funny. Because of ignorant, socialist “shit for brains” like the current pResident,”innovation” has been reduced to finding ways around the stifling regulation, highest corporate tax rates in the world, and other governmental “barriers to entry” to provide products and services. As always, dumba$$ anti-capitalist demonrats create the problem, then point the finger of blame at the private sector. I absolutely loathe these scumbags...
I’m not defending the eurotrash but scheduling meetings at 8:30 am is dunb. The vast majority of meetings are time wasters used by people in love with their own voice
True. Leisure, not necessity, is the mother of invention. Second in line is war.

Wish we had a like button for that cartoon, I’d click it twice.

Weve been a little bit lazy over the last couple of decades. “
Translation - 51% “need” can not be fed by 49% “ability”.
Work Harder, Comrades, for the good of the Collective.
If we were more like Obama instead of being so lazy, all our problems would disappear? I have no problem with a man spending time with his children, in fact, I wish Obama would spend a lot more time with his family instead of destroying our country, but he has no business claiming that we're "lazy". Few of us spend as much time on vacation as he does. Most of us have to produce results to keep our jobs. This communist knows nothing about real people in the real world, those of us who work for a living.
Good one! I’m waiting to board a flight to Chicago from Singapore after spending a week in Batam, Indonesia at a company that makes commercial aircraft engine components. The department I was observing is staffed by three hardworking individuals working 12 hour shifts seven days a week, and the organization, management, and maintenance of that facility would put a lot of the companies I visit in the US to shame.
The fact of the matter is, naivete on the part of the American Worker is unavoidable, given the fact that very few Americans have any exposure whatsoever to the way of the world outside of their own limited sphere of influence. The good news is, most folks I meet in my considerable travels (i.e. 175k miles flown each year) still have a great deal of admiration for all things American, but my cynical side is whispering their object of affection has become an illusion if not a caricature of its former self.
Those jobs that people whine about having gone overseas are being done a lot more efficiently by hardworking people who take pride in what they produce because of a tradition that abhors shame above all else. That’s a rare commodity to find in these United States these days.
Oh, and if you’d like to know why I despise unions, take a listen to the podcast “Petty Tyrant” which aired on This American Life a couple of weeks ago.
Sigh. I can’t disagree, and will listen to that podcast, but I expect it will be like preaching to the choir...
