Charles Schumer. This is less than the average person.

Doesn't help you when the majority is pulling the country down the toilet.

It does help you personally to stay above the rim.

I'm nearing the end of a foray into work other than automotive and I've started looking again. The job market seems to be a lot better than when I was last seriously looking about a year ago.

Someone ran down Pennsylvania Ave. from the WH to the Capitol , handed her her talking points, rounded up some background window dressing types and pushed her in front of the cameras.
That's where she prolly got the idea from. (And then mis-read the number,imo.

She is one of the best spokespersons for the quality education system that we have in this country. If I had the opportunity, I'd give her major media exposure every evening. Sad thing is, she is correctly representing a segment of our population. The "best and brightest" aren't the only ones who need to be represented.

He removes drain plug on bottom of tank and most of the gas runs out on the shop floor (because he only had about 7 gallons worth of containers). When I arrived, I could smell the gasoline before I entered the building...........it was that bad.

He came real close to blowing the entire place.............

At least he wasn't smoking while he did it...don't laugh I worked at a marina fuel dock for a few years...seen it...

He smokes.........and a few others in that shop smoke. It's only for the grace of God that I arrived when I did............

They kept the machines running..........electric motors...........I was really concerned.............the concentration was definitely explosive near the truck.

Was it insured well?

Everything, might have made more than $100...

Knowing my machine shop owner............he'll be underinsured and come out on the short end of that stick. Additionally, the capability of replacing some of the older machines (with low value) is non-existent. He'd be toast.

'Bout time! ......if they're ALL Government-issued jobs - I'd say that's a good start!

Realizing that the Air Traffic Controllers were having cuts, I know that very soon planes will start falling from the sky.... with that said, I decided it was a good idea to stay in the house tonight and tomorrow.

Someone should have asked her if she knows how many zeros there are in one hundred seventy million , or I doubt she could answer how many zeros there are are to the left of the decimal point in sixteen trillion either.
