What’s painfully obvious if you drive through cities is those testaments to former economic viability....those abandoned factories used to be places where people went to work in order to support themselves and their families.”””

The Eco-Fools and the Democrats have worked overtime to drive factories OUT of the USA.

Now,most of your tires are made in China. When Obama came into office, one his first items was to slap another 25% duty on Chinese tires!!!

Those factories were perfectly happy to stay here, but Unions did their best to drive them out.

They succeeded. Now they are bitching!!

I too have had humorous encounters with some younger workers. In all fairness, I've also run into many that are efficient, friendly and helpful. I don't think we should give up on the potential of younger employees.

In the long run we'd save more people and maybe save the US if we got rid of all of the freebies....a cot to sleep on, a warm shower, a bowl of soup, and that's it. Anyone wants any more, let them work for it or die in the streets.
