Our beloved country is going to Hell in a Hand Basket, Fast!
Bail out here. Bail out there. Bail out everywhere.
I wish I had a job that I could come up with stupid ideas and get paid for it.
I wish I had a job that if my stupid ideas didn’t work and I got fired for my stupid ideas, I would receive a million dollars to release the company from my work contract for having stupid ideas.
Apparently there are plenty of these jobs out in the world and I missed the boat. I guess I am just stupid for believing that hard work pays off.
Everyone is turning to the Government these days to get paid. The new President has indicated that his solution to the financial crunch is creating 4 million jobs. That’s great but there is one thing he over looked. . If these jobs are there available so the lower income citizens have a job and can be productive citizens, there is one thing he over looked. THEY WON’T SHOW UP!!!!! The lower income citizens of the United States of America are a bunch of lazy bums. They have their hand out for a hand out.
Sure there are people that are down on their luck and will take advantage of these job opportunities and that is great. But the real trickle down work programs will not reach the people it is supposed to help. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink. You get lead a bum to a job but you can’t make him work.
I believe the majority of these low income saving jobs will fall well short the projections and will create a need for more illegal aliens to come to America to complete the projects that our citizens refuse to take advantage of.
I have a bee in my bonnet over the automotive bail out. There are many hard workers the automotive industry but I believe these hard working people took advantage of me and the American people. I believe in a man’s right to work but the give me what I want attitude or I’ll strike attitude has pushed the automotive industry over the edge.
I remember when it was un-American to buy foreign cars. Buy American, buy American. If you buy foreign cars you are a communist. So we bought American made cars and what did they do to us. The companies proceeded to change parts of the cars to make it harder for a car owner to work on their own car. For example I needed to change a fan clutch in my Ford Explorer. The first thing I had to do to make this repair was to purchase a special tool that only fits the special sized nut on the Ford fan clutch. The tool was $26 and I would use it just one time. The problem here is fan clutch nuts use to be a standard size that any set of American tools would fit.
Ford’s concept was to change the nut so we will have to buy a tool from them to fix the car that they built. If we refuse to buy the tool then we have to go to the dealership to get it fixed and then they get paid again.
The car dealers changed the screws in the headlights from philips head and flat head to a special star screw and as consumers if we want to work on our own cars we have to buy a special tool once again.
There is also the rumor that the heater coils are engineered to go out at 75,000 miles to guarantee the car owners will have to come in to the dealerships and once again they’d get paid.
Well to the automobile manufactures that have your hand out, you can kiss my BUTT! Retool your cars again so I can work on them and I may consider purchasing an American made car again. If not I am buying foreign so at least I’ll get what I pay for and it will last as long as it should.
During the Christmas Holidays I was visiting my family in Tennessee. I got up early before the sun came up so I could go get some ‘Hot, Fresh, Donuts’. I went to the local Mom and Pop shop down the road but the sign indicated that they were closed to observe the holiday. That’s fine I can live with that.
I then headed to find another donut shop and found out about 3 miles down was a Dunkin’ Donut shop. Alright, Hot, Fresh, Donuts for my family. I pulled up to find the shop open. I pulled up to the drive through and ordered 2 dozen donuts. The employee said that would be $27. That is $27 dollars for 2 dozen donuts. That is more than a dollar a donut. Alright it is Christmas and these will be fresh donuts at 6:30 in the morning. As I pulled around to the window the girl gave me 2 big beautiful Dunkin’ Donuts boxes. The first thing I noticed was the boxes were cold. I told her I wanted the fresh donuts and she said that these were the fresh ones. They were baked in an oven last night at 10 o’clock.
I then noticed on the donut menu displayed by my car that I could order Dunkin’ Tacos, Dunkin’ Enchiladas, Dunkin’ Cheese fries. What the hell has happened to Dunkin’ Donuts?
I believe some bean counter decided that while having the building and the location lets sell sell other items and maximize our profits. I looked around and the box had a big beautiful logo. The employees had names embroidered on their shirts and there were at least 9 employees standing around doing nothing because they had no customers at the donut shop that sells tacos.
If I were to guess Dunkin’ Donuts probably has a NASCAR. No wonder the 2 dozen donuts cost $27.
Hey Dunkin’ Donuts of Tennessee I went the other day to the Mary Lee Donut Shop
in Prairieville. They had something in there you should strive to achieve. It’s called
customers and why do they have customers? Because they cook fresh hot glazed donuts
everyday. They are a donut shop with a simple concept. They greet me with a smile. The Mom takes the orders. The Pop cooks the donuts and they put the hot fresh fried donuts in a plain white bag with no logo and a dozen donuts cost less than $10 dollars.
They have something that you don’t have and that’s me as a customer and you will never have me again. I hope you spend that $27 wisely because you’ll never get it from me ever again.
However, I am sure Dunkin’ Donuts will be having their hand out for some dough, dough and more dough.
