Is anybody feeling the crunch yet?

Like I said, I'll praise *** and be the first to admit, I'm wrong, if in the next four or eight years, if that happens, we don't lose, or see substantial restrictions on our basic rights and freedoms, as they are established today, under the Bill of Rights, or if we see less of a tax burden and lower government spending, or at least one or more of our energy industries, if not other industries, aren't nationalized.

Anyone want to take a wager? :cool:

I have never said that the past administration was a conservative one. I'm pretty sure George Bush isn't running against Obama. :confused:

If credit is so tight, why have I received three credit offers in the past three days?

I'm with you, wez. No debt and a reasonable bank balance.

That's all over and done. Didn't you hear? With the Dems in total control in Washington, we're all getting free homes.

U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D. Toledo) whipped the crowd up before Mr. Obama took the stage yesterday telling them that America needed a Second Bill of Rights guaranteeing all Americans a job, health care, homes, an education, and a fair playing field for business and farmers.

I wonder if we can add, cars, pets, boats, motorcycles, ATV's and ***********, to this list of items guaranteed by the government?

Well the big Honjas came to me and asked how I can help cut hours here at work. You all know how hard I work but being the honest person I am I piled on more work for myself. Now other employees will be losing their position. It was gonna happen anyway but I feel guilty. Anyway I’m gonna be much busier around here so I won’t be able to come out and play as much. I know this will break all of your hearts but I’ll still be here. ;)

Most of you know where I work. Well they announced an early retirement plan a few months back. You could retire at age 50 instead of 55. But you would lose 2% for every year that you retired early. I am 51 years old and have worked for 31 years. This means if I retired now I would only get 58% of my pay check that I get now. Why would I want to do that? I would have to get another job that would probably pay less. They projected the decrees in work force was going to be 16, 000 jobs. They didn’t even come close. So now they are planning on making a three tour workforce into a two tour workforce. They say this will eliminate wear and tear on the machines by manning them to full capacity. To do this they are going to put every body’s jobs up for re-biding. This is going to **** a lot of people off (aprox.500 people) and put them on a 10 am to 6:30 shift or 8pm to 4:30 shift. Now this is going on nation wide. The problem with Alaska is we fly just about everything. So we have to work around the airlines and we don’t have the empty equipment and space to work this all up and get it out to the airlines. In essence it’s not going to work up here. My take on this is they want to **** enough old timers like me to retire. I work with high values and they took the international part of it away to cut hours. This gives less security. They are going to cut corners in other area’s as well.

If this is happing to me what do you suppose is going to happen to Joe the plumbers of America? Especially with an all democratic government wanting to tax the out of you and all the business?

Sorry Snaf, do you think they are going to let you go, or pressure you to retire early?

They can't let me go becuase I was hired during the no lay off claus but anybody with 6 years or less could be laid off. What their gonna do is put me on a night shift (or try to) and hope I retire.

I?m hoping that with the job I have and my seniority they will leave me alone but 95 % of the workforce will be affected.

No layoff clause? Guaranteed retirement plan? 31 years with one company? Senority? Can't be fired?

And you're *******' you might get taxed?

You bastards are the ones that broke our country with your employment demands and wrecked it for us younger folk.. Christ, we'll be lucky to get a fukking turkey if we ever can retire. hahahaha

They prolly will try to force you out.. They know the can hire someone half your age to do twice as much work for 1/3 the pay.. and give them nothing for retirement..

You don't know how good you've had it snaf... take whatever they throw at ya.. ;)

Hehehe..... You got me there but I might get screwed too. We'll see how this one party nation works in the next 4 years. So don't pat them on the back to soon. McCain wants to privatize my company but I really don't care. My union sure is going nuts though.

Who knows we all might be working for the goverment someday. :rolleyes:
