When I was young I often worked 80 hour work weeks and was only paid for 40 as I was salaried. To me it was just part of matriculating through the ranks of businesses.


Yeah, these guys are making a hell of a lot more than I did at the hotel. Of course, I sometimes worked as few as seventy hours in a week. I had no health insurance, no retirement, very few days of PTO (that I usually didn't get anyway) and often used my own car and gas to do work-related stuff...some of which was barely related to the hotel.

In fairness, half of my day was downtime. Although, the hotel owner's son worked at Morgan Stanley and, while he spent a lot of time in the office, my understanding is that much of that was having hours-long poker sessions. They would also wine and dine clients spending long evenings eating and drinking...which I'm sure they are also counting towards time on the job.

Summary: Cry me a *%^$%#E^& river. (Not you, DRich, the guys in the article)

Wasn't EB all excited about Kraken
Was Sidney trolling EB :-)

The #Boulder, Colo. mass shooting suspect who is accused of killing 10 people is an immigrant from Syria. His full name is Ahmad al-Aliwi al-Issa. His online posts show he was a deeply religious Muslim"

I wonder if it would be on "the news" if groups coming across were carrying MPADS?

And yet you’re always so quiet when a white nationalist goes on a killing spree. Curious.

Do you think that when an angry white male goes on a shooting spree it isn't getting enough coverage?
