Sow now we will have people who cannot seem to get fired anyway, who require little or no education (not even a GED), have little to zero accountability..’
Now they get to unionize? Apparently they think that they should be able collectively bargain for more money, or more benefits or something.
And this is a good thing for whom?

at max on the stereo…..and laughing maniacally…
(At least that’s the way I’d do it)
ETA: Better story here
That it’s neato and all that that (nearly) everyone who could chose to show their support for one day at Chick-Fil-A to protest the attempted suppression of freedom of speech (and/or support for the comments about gay marriage or whatever your particular reason…)
But if you really support them, then you’ll have to change your ways and eat there more often. Otherwise it’s a flash in the pan and the Left/MSM/DNC can (rightly) ignore you.
One day surges may be great and all that, and you think that it makes a statement. Yes, it does. But if you really support the company and their leaders beliefs, then you should change where you buy your lunch to patronize CFA more often.let the lesson to the left be that you really support them, and show the left a significant sales gain.
We already chose to patronize them. Not just because they have good (semi) fast food, but because we like what their company stands for…the fact that they walk the talk and eschew the profits they COULD be making were they open on Sunday….Likely significantly more than one seventh of the total.
Now, Sunday isn’t much of a special day for us. Neither of us are terribly churchgoing people or anything, but we do respect the fact that a Christian company walks the talk….We like the fact that all their employees are clean cut, can speak real english (no matter what their ethnicity) and that the employees are helpful and make for a nicer fast food dining experience. And we really think that the state should get out of the marriage business, so the comments matter little to us.
If you are more than just a fashion follower, and really support the company, then patronize them more often. Really support them.
Otherwise your statement, while nice, means nothing, really.
I guess I am too. That is what my parents taught me, too. But it ain’t the way it is.
On the first: It’ll never happen until AFTER the election. Then it will be a fight in congress….Depends on how the House and senate come down.
And on the second: For all you folks talking about how we have to elect Mittens to keep conservatives on the Supreme Court…Who appointed Scalia?
It’s gonna come down to either use ’em or lose ’em. If you think you’ll hide ’em or bury ’em until “the time is right”…..The day you decide to hide ’em is the day you should decide to use ’em.
If you are behind the curve and haven’t bought any ammo for a stockpile, you have a few months left, but you’ll pay dearly for the failure to stock up months and/or years ago when it was cheap.
Me: I think I’ll just stock up on more primers and powder….and other such things while they are still unregulated.
I’m not the first to say it, but I doubt that I’ll be the last.
They will never stop trying.
What are ya gonna do?
Too many of them.
The press will cucify you if you do anything to an ethnic minority…How do you defend against this?
Allow only white people in the store? And them only 2 at a time? Racist.
I’m not so sure that I’d have locked the door though. Not sure I want to be inside the cage with these animals.
This is coming to every “blue” city sooner rather than later.
Chicago is just bluer than most…..And slightly ahead of the curve….
Come what may, The Canadians are gonna sell it to someone, ay?
Watch the DNC members dance now.
So it seems that Fridays just aren’t my day.
I get home from work about 4:30 pm on Friday.
Clean my pockets of assorted stuff, disarm, etc. take the dog out for a bit of exercise and to do her business.
At 4:43 pm, I get a call from the chick who owns the lawn mowing business. Good news: she is insured…..
Bad news. She hit a rock with the mower and tossed it into the back door. Broke the window…
On a Friday night.
No one around here has a board-up business that will come down on a Friday evening. Who you gonna call?
Yeah, I thought so. Barry’s folks at the White House switchboard were once again less than helpful. I left a message, but he hasn’t called me back, not has anyone else from the government.
Guess who disappointed his lady and didn’t grill her the wonderful t-bone she had been promised…with thin sliced mushrooms sauteed in bacon fat and butter with onions just slightly carmelized…Served with a baked potato with cheese and butter… and fresh green beans? With ice cream for dessert….
Yeah, she didn’t get that, ’cause I had to go back to my business and make the door safe and securable for the evening. Clean up the glass so no one could get hurt, so I didn’t get sued in case some asshole was wandering around with naked feet or something after dark or whatever and I left a hazardous area…. So we decided to support Chick-Fil-A instead since by then it was 7:30 after we had cleaned up the mess and made the door secure and safe. So another 14 hour day. And another disappointing evening for my girlfriend. And more time spent making my business run.
But I didn’t build that. Nope, not me.
Fuck you, Barry.
So what? I reload about one and a half times that many .223/.308/.45ACP /9mm/38special/.357 (and, for Midwest Chick, twice that in .380) yearly. I purchase nearly half that many every year to replace the brass I wear out.
Each.
Not counting low volume calibers like 45-70 or 7.5 Swiss or others like that. Plus we purchase .22 by the brick. Most of it goes into a backstop after punching a hole in some paper.
I just took delivery of 5000 .45ACP 230g jacketed round nose bullets. Waiting on my gun club to get some more primers in so I can reload them into cases I already have prepped.
So what? The shooter in Aurora didn’t use all 6000 rounds he had anyway. But the press and the anti-gun folks (but I repeat myself) are decrying the fact that he purchased that many rounds online. Big deal over nothing, really. But it is a way to make their argument against ammunition sales.
How many rounds did he get off? 50?
My rifles and pistols haven’t killed anyone. Those rounds haven’t magically moved from the ammo cans to the magazines, nor into the chambers of the firearms.
These “rounds” purchased online didn’t do that in Aurora Colorado either. They were, actually, pretty inert.
The guns didn’t magically point themselves at people and fire either.They didn’t hurt anyone….
Until they were used by the perpetrator to punch holes in people rather than into paper.
This dude would have/could have used bombs if he hadn’t had access to firearms. Off the top of my head I can think of at least 6 types of things I can make from items at a Wall Mart, Target. Lowes or Home Depot. And I could purchase items usable as shrapnel there as well, And containers for the devices. But I won’t. I don’t wish to hurt anyone.If I knew someone was buying those items for that reason, I’d do something to stop them.
Yet I hear no outcry to ban those items (you’ll have to guess, I ain’t putting any recipes out on the internet). There are How Many? chemists and chemical engineers in this country? Most could do a better job than me at finding good recipes for such things. But they don’t either.
And I have no plans to do anyone any harm…nor do those other folks who know how to but choose not to.
Take a pickup truck, load bricks or stone or concrete into it drive into a crowd and you can hurt many people too. The heavier it is the more damage you can do. So what? I see no waiting periods for, or limitations on who can buy, heavy automobiles. Nor on horsepower. No calls for bans on big trucks nor weight limitations.
The thing is, if someone wants to hurt people, they can. And no laws will prevent it.
Ever.
Deal with it. Avoid places which make you a victim/target. Keep your guard up. Have a plan to bail out if needed. Leave early if things look wrong. Avoid the rush. There are Bad People out there. Expect it.
Hope you are elsewhere when/if.
But be ready “when”.
