Hope everyone of them is a whiney Democrat...
Bkmk
Pelousi also told Millennials (and EVERYBODY ELSE) that you don’t have to stay at a job you don’t like.....the Democrats will take care of you!
Working to get ahead is a ‘old’ attitude. I fear for the continued success of this country.
OMG. That's too funny. I can just hear the New George Clooney with that accent!
Learn to Code and then you can compete with the Immigrants with H1B Visas!
Fox has been downsizing for a couple years now. They got rid of a friend who was a longtime employee and several others in her department. A few months later, she was blessed with a job at the same pay rate, slightly fewer hours, in a much more positive working environment. The boss actually appreciates the work ethic of middle aged people. She is very fortunate.

Interesting. Thanks. That’s similar to how some people refer to Hwy 101 between S.F. and San Jose as “the Bayshore.”
However, at some point the content bubble will be so saturated it will burst, and these layoffs will seem small in comparison.
What happens when digital technology is so good there is little need for content creators? What happens when Disney builds digital animation studios in the Philippines, paying computer graphics animators $6/hour? What happens when digital voices are so good there is no more need for voice actors?
There is only so many eyeballs, so many screens, and so many hours. When we had 3 channels, on any given TV, 1/3rd were being watched, and 2/3rds were not. When we have 1,000 channels, even with each person having their own screen, 4 channels are being watched, and 1,996 are not.
Only in movies and tv written by Socal types.
Bothered the heck out of me when in an "The X-Files" epi, Mulder - a Beltway-raised and Eli-educated-just-off-of-[I]95 character said "...traffic on the 95...".
And you are supposed to know where the MacArthur Maze is located, it’s a given.
I thought Pelosi told the army of unemployed that unemployment allowed one to follow their passions... or some nonsense like that.
I experienced layoffs and firings in the mortgage banking industry when the interest rates would rise and business slowed down to a crawl. I've had so many different jobs in different industries for a couple of decades, that my resume looked like a phone book.
I'm retired now and can't be laid off or fired from my own cattle ranch. Raising beef cattle is a new career for both my wife and I. Learned it from scratch after reading books and study it on the internet. Sometimes I wish my wife would can my arse. I made it to 71 by dancing lightly on my feet and being quick on the uptake in a new industry when I needed work. I wasn't afraid to do anything to keep working until I could find a better job when things settled down.
I've had to change industries which usually required moving around and I did that too. I learned that that was the way things worked out sometimes.
These people will be fine if they look outside their industry and aren't afraid to make a move to start over. It is the way it is for many people's careers. It was for mine.
In NY/NJ/CT we say traffic is bad on 287 or accident on 495. In NYC though, the hiway names are used, or more often initials. Accident on the eastbound LIE backs up to traffic to the BQE. LIE being Long Island Expressway, BQE= Brooklyn Queens Expressway LIE=I 495 BQE=I 278
That's pretty much what "hate crime" is for.
It was said in connection with the impending Obamacare travesty. ‘You won’t have to work to get free healthcare, we will take care of you’. And just as she predicted, employment stayed stagnant and the food stamp ‘need’ went up exponentially, too.
Who are special...why, exactly? The callous disregard toward lost jobs in the Rust Belt shown by the "creative class" (author's usage, not mine) was a signal feature of the lamentable eight-year disaster that was the 0bama administration. Recall Hillary's scorn for the out-of-work coal miners?
This stuff happens to most of us who work in industry at some point in our lives. What we do not need is a government that is actively encouraging it and media who are celebrating it or covering for their party leaders. In 2016 we elected a President who is a breath of fresh air on the issue. The media are still stumbling down their old road.
I was born and raised in SoCal and that’s just always been the way freeways are referred to.
The 101, the 405, etc.
New York has “the BQE, the Gowanus, the FDR,” etc. so it is found elsewhere.
In the Northeast it’s usually just the number or a familiar name for the highway: “Take 95 to 91” or “684 to 84 to the Mass Pike”. A lot of it is very local, as in NJ you would never call the New Jersey Turnpike anything but “the New Jersey Turnpike” or “the Turnpike.”
