believe it or not that has happened here, although on a smaller scale...If the budget can't be agreed upon, they close "nonessential" agencies.

 

[J.]

[Reign in Acai]

All the taqueria's and half the mechanic shops in L.A are closed down. Oh well, esta bien.

 

[JayKeeley]

I actually took the day off work today.

It's a total coincidence, I swear.

hahaha

Yeah my company has 2 buildings (well, now 4 since we merged, but I still don't know shit about that half because everyone is kept in the dark ), and yeah. One building was shut down because 90% of the workers didn't show up today. Long term financial impact remains to be seen but obviously short term is effected. Home Depots were closed because nobody was shopping at them since day laboUroUrs weren't around to get hired. It's not just Jose's Taco Stand that closed today.

10 yrs ago the starting pay for a fork lift operator was around $14

Today it's around 6.75. Get the fuck out of this country you brown roaches, so tax paying citizens can have opportunities they once had.

 

[lurch70]

sorry, but a forklift operator should not be paid $14 an hour ...

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

it's $10.50 at the fishplant, you get an extra 50 cents an hour cause you have to work like a dog and had to take an extra course.

So what happens if these spics get amnesty and are sent on the path towards citizenship? Instead of being paid a dollar a bushel, they get paid 6.75 for orange picking. Watch as the cost of produce skyrockets like a Profanity post count. And what is to stop other filthy dirty mojado's from hopping the borders and claiming "hey holmes, I've biin here 10 yeers." There's no fucking documentation. Deport these spics, and imprison the criminal employers who hire them. Fuck the economic impact.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Amnesty experiemnt has already been tried and FAILED with Reagan. That was when the # was not even a quarter of what it is now.

 

[dorian gray]

once again i have to wonder why i did not see one single beat down of someone waving a MEXICAN FLAG around.
WTF?!?!?!

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

you're turning into your worst nightmare!....

CANADA!

 

[dorian gray]

the way you wrote that makes it sounds like canada is my worst nightmare.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

i dunno, everytime somebody anywhere mentions not outright TRYING to screw everyone including your family out of money to get ahead you yanks tend to go "OMFG what is this, CANADA?"

So i just assumed you guys have a phobia of and nightmares about becoming canada.

 

[dorian gray]

in canada, the gas stations are called petrol stations and the units are in liters. further, some guy pumps the gas. i found all this to be disconcerting.

at which point, I will TOTALLY have given any shred of hope I have for this country.

 

[lizard]

it's a real political hot potato. the politicians are running scared cause of the huge demonstrations ~ I wouldn't be surprised to see any "reform" pushed back til after the election.

Someone is scared of the metric system
It makes so much more sense you dont have to know fractions, furlongs, yards etc. everything is relative to each other
10millimeters = 1 centemeter
100centimeters = 1 metre
1000 metres = 1 kilometer and so on the same goes with measuring liquids but with liters instead of meters. Can someone tell me how imperial is supposed to work?
