Whats up with these walkouts and stuff?
Black Friday (actually pre-black friday on turkeyday) walkouts at Wal-mart and now i see the fast food peoples doing the same thing in New York. Whats the deal?
Well, of course they want money. I mean thats the best way to get a raise right? just walk out and throw a temper tantrum in the street. you shouldnt have to better yourself at all, i mean a burger flipper should make as much as an electrician or a doctor right?
These have always been minimum wage jobs. The Fed determines what minimum wage is but the states can have a higher one. Its there for a reason. If you cant use it whats the point.
First we have Wal-mart. the king of shit labor practices. well how bad can it be? as big as they are and as many people as they employ it cant be all bad? "well some people dont have a choice" BULLSHIT!!! go live in a ditch. There is ALWAYS a choice, some just arent practical but they are still choices. So the union scum say they support these walk outs and that walmart should start paying their people $13 an hour instead of the usual $8 range. Tell me what skill set does a cashier or a shelf stocker have that warrants that kind of pay? Consider what that kind of increase would do to prices? And on top of this these people choose to do this in a bad economy when jobs are scarce. Wal-mart can fire every one of those people, go down to the unemployment office and replace all of them instantly without even blinking or even taking into consideration WHY those people walked out in the first place. They simply wouldnt need to care about it.
On to New York. Same thing here. the union scum say places like McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell should start paying their people $15 an hour. I guess if you want to pay $10 for your next Big Mac that would be fine. Now many of these employees are teenagers and the like. Should your kids be making $15? i copied that question from the article. I look at it funny myself when i read it. but consider your 16 year old high schooler who obviously lives at home grabbing a part time job at Micky Ds for $15 an hour. How is that going to affect his mindset and outlook on school and life and the desire to better himself? on the surface it sounds kinda dumb to ask the question but the more i repeat it in my head and imagine different senarios my answer is NO, i dont want him to make the kind of money right away.
Whats missing from this picture? Yeah its easier for these lazy people to demand more pay rather than get off their asses and go learn a skill, go to school, or simply look for a better job. For this reason alone they do not deserve a damn thing. There are no excuses, there is so much crap out there these days to help people better themselves. Staging a walk out isnt going to convince any employer to do anything but fire your ass.
I simply do not understand how any one of those people thought "hey this is a great idea". I guess it goes back to a saying, never underestimate stupid people in large groups.

We The Sheeple....
I realize politics can be a very personal thing to someone. Our life experiences tend to dictate how our views are shaped based on an infinite amout of factors. It can create or destroy friends and family.
What really really really bothers and irritates me is as a whole we are dumber than ever. In the political sense people let mainstream media (FOX, NBC, ABC, NBC and the like) be their sources of information and come to rely on what these sources have to say. In the digital age of all kinds of smartphones and devices requiring more smarts to use we are being brainwashed and stupified everywhere else. Common sense is so rare it should be a super power. yeah i stole that. I mean this is the age of the Internet. For fuck sake people QUESTION EVERYTHING!!! The world is on the internet. In an age where it makes no sense to lie to the public becasue you can research EVERYTHING, our so called leaders have gotten used to the fact that the sheeple simply are too damn lazy to double check things. The media is notorious for reporting only pieces, that if they reported the whole story it might have a completely different meaning or make think something completely different.
We as a country just finished up an election with the largest turn out of uneducated people ever. Thats amounts to about 75% of people who cast a vote. many of them vote because they dont like the other guy, others becasue they believe every word the guy says. These are the same people that make jokes about how politicians are lawyers are nothing but liars.
Now if i tell you that you can blow up a car by shooting the gas tank, well chances are you may hit google or take a shot at that old car in your back yard and then tell me whether im full of shit. But when a politician (known to be liars) tells you how awesome his healthcare plan is, no one bothers to check anything. they just react. its either good or bad but no one knows why.
Now before you read further i must make this clear...this is MY blog posted on MY facebook. If you have a problem with what i say and cant respect my right to free speech and want to get offended or butthurt and spew your hate in my comments you can fuck off and die in a plane crash.
Lets look at a few things i have personally seen along with a few of my own thoughts.
The election has made it clear that gays and lesbians simply dont care about the economy, governments run away spending, taxes, unemployment, corruption, etc, etc. What DO they care about? They just want to get married. They dont care about anything else. They want that piece of paper so that they can make each other as miserable as wives have done to husbands for hundreds of years. Ignorance of this magnitude voting is directly contributing to the problems of this country. the messed up part? the states are already starting to pass laws to allow this, its already happening, WTF more did you think you were doing?
Obamacare. OOOOOO AAAHHHHHH oh yea. Now here is one i just dont get. This will affect EVERYONE in some way EXCEPT Congress. They are exempt. Why? If its so super awesome why wont the people who WROTE THE DAMN THING WANT TO JUMP IN IT? Now everyone i have talked to that thinks this thing is book of pure awesome cant seem to tell me why. Is it becasue its 2400+ pages long? Yeah most definately. I have the original draft, the house draft and the senate draft. read them once, dont remember much but can reference things. I have challanged all those who think its awesome to read it and then get back to me. Even the ones that dont like it so they can at least tell me what they think is bad. none have. they prefer their ignorance. and again these are the people casting votes. The same people that would research a new TV or new car to death content to be ignorant to something involving their own health and their KIDS health.
The Patriot Act - you know that bill that allows spying on you violating your civil rights. I have friends on my FB that say and i quote "i love Joe Biden". guess what he wrote the core of this in 1995. Still love him now? If you do you are unamerican and should get the fuck out of my country. See United States vs Antoine Jones.
NDAA - signed by Obama on New Year's Eve last year, grants the government the power to put citizens in military detention indefinitely and without the usual recourse to civil courts. As a veteran something like this is near and dear to my heart and people wonder why i became so hateful and bitter watching the sheeple vote for this nigger. YES I FUCKING SAID IT.
SOPA, PIPA - the short and sweet on this is censorship of the internet thus treading on free speech, carefully disguised as a bill to simply go after online piracy, though it does that too.
I wont even touch on guns and the 2nd amendment.
Texas is trying to secede with petitions of 50,000+ signitures i mean i know this is small compared to the country as a whole but you cant tell me they are all fanatics.
its going to be a long 4 years...
WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE. oh wait the election is over...oh...well...guess its time to reap what you sow. I'll stay in Arizona with my guns.
