Yeah, it amazes me sometimes, the heartless delight some people have in other people’s misery...

[shanover]

Karma is a b*tch!

[litehaus]

“but wealth is unlikely.”

Got some kin in Missouri that put the lie to that statement...

[Mears]

“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.”

==

Not that local,in MA you would never say anything but The Mass Pike,never I-90.

Autobody repair. Never get rich, but always have work.

[publana]

Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn. Seriously. We’re supposed to be sad for a bunch of idiots that followed a Liberal pipe dream? I just pray they don’t leave Kali and flock to the states where the real jobs are as their parents justifiably told them when they took off for Hollywood. I hear they have fabulous tent cities in LA and San Fran!

[MrEdd]

Licensing and fees are probably lower, and law enforcement probably responds to tool theft.

The reply was in regards to Texas

[dfwgator]

I feel sorry for the fraction of Hollywood who are real Americans.

Charlton Heston once said there were more "closet Conservatives" in Hollywood than closet homosexuals.

[irishjuggler]

Thank you. Interesting that no one has chimed in yet to say that L.A.’s “the” + “number” format also exists in their region. How ‘bout across the southwest and south? Interstate 10 is “THE 10” in L.A., but is it just “10” or “I 10,” from, say, Palm Springs to Jacksonville? Anyone?

[grania]

No problem. They can live on the streets with all the homeless derelicts and invaders they so embrace.

[grania]

I don’t go to movies anymore or watch any TV that spews political correctness or stars coup enablers. I cannot get into the story, knowing that the actors and writers hate me and everything I believe in.

#18 The ceo will get 10’s of millions for the firing of 4,000 and counting. He will get glowing articles about what a awesome manager he is. If he does not then Disney won’t advertise in the magazine or newspaper or run ads on the tv stations. So they will glow.

[minnesota_bound]

In Los Angeles we just say “there is a sigalert on the 101, 405, 5 etc etc : )

[NoLibZone]

Lean to Code libbies.

[zaxtres]

Nahh, last time Disney laid a group of people off they were replaced with people from India.

[Ouderkirk]

You are correct, I had forgotten about that.

[Albion Wilde]

Hey, “Learn to Code”, Hollywierdos.

It's fun to carp at Hollywood, but most of the jobs she is talking about are for people who are cameramen, film and script editors, electricians, graphic artists, carpenters -- all kinds of peripheral technical people who are not online shooting their mouths off about politics. The same thing happened earlier to the print industry when computers entered the scene, knocking out typesetters, engravers, cameramen, paper and film layout people, platemakers, paper salesmen, inkers and pressmen, etc. The digital age wiped them out. I'm not talking printing for the newspaper industry, but for the the two-color and full color brochures that used to be the vehicles for companies to communicate what they had to offer. Now it's all done by computers.

[zaxtres]

We can keep this going if you like, but we're obviously at loggerheads and neither of us will budge. What is the point, unless you're just obsessive compulsive about sparring with other Freepers over insignificant trivialities.

Didn't yo just say this? then you say Scram kid. You bother me.?

It would not be true that I spar with other Freepers but you are no Freeper just a fake. Like I said before convenient of you to join right before the first 0bummer election. You seemingly wanted to correct me on the verbiage I used for demonrats. What's wrong don't fit into your narrative that people should be corrected and shut up? You sir are a demonrat or a rino through and through, either way both evil and sux. Thank god for Trump. Oh wait are you a neverthumper?

[zaxtres]

Sorry that was meant for Windflier ho seemed to take it upon himself to call me juvenile for using the term demonrat. He was triggered by it. Not sure why it pulled up your name. Again my apologies to you.
