Too hot to work, but never too hot to pay your taxes!
**stacking hay in the barn loft at 14 years old?**
I’ve done that in the Ozarks! The day would be HOT, work loading the hay on a trailer, then stack it in a barn loft.
Next day do it again, and the hay in the barn will begin to ferment and heat up if not completely dry and make it hotter!
The old farmer we worked for SOLD hay to others by the bale, so he made the bales light, around 45 pounds.
When he baled for himself we hauled bales weighing 75-90 lb!
We were paid the same, light or heavy bale.
Then there was the truckers who hauled in Colorado alfalfa. They baled it wet as they sold it by weight. We would unload those bales, and they would be HOT! You could actually see the steam and vapor as you unloaded the truck. I often wondered if any ever caught fire on him.
The “olden days” were not all that good.
Good news then. We don’t need to raise the minimum wage.
I’ve been here about 20 years. Coincidentally, my next-door neighbor (lady) is a retired school principle. It’s blazing right now, but 8-9 months of great weather/year is a decent trade :)
What do the people at UN HQ know about work anyway
Excellent write-up. Glad to know their new alias. The momentous irony is that we pay for the shackles, thinking we are promoting “democracy” around the world. Unelected bureaucrats such as are quoted in this article are the reason, down through centuries and millennia, for the invention of the most painful means of torture, well-deserved.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Naw, that Ice Age gimmick was promulgated in the 1960’s. Then, of course, we had the ozone layer thingy, where if you sprayed underarm deodorant the propellant would rise through the roof of your house and magically descend to the atmosphere and punch a hole in the ozone layer and you’d get fried. The government edicted a refrigerant change at least three times in your compressors because that, too added to the size of the hole in the ozone layer.
Now something newer had to be foisted: Global Warming. Everything we were doing here was causing the temperatures to drastically rise all over the world causing oceans to boil and rise, cause more hurricanes and tornadoes and cause violent snowstorms, tornadoes, earthquakes, computer glitzes, power outages, babies to remain bald, and so many dire things that one slept only briefly at night.
There always has to be a new way to get the New World Order in swing. With a Hillary-cain in the White Hut newer ways to put us all in poverty (except that 1%) and, in general, makes our lives a nightmare.
