Freeptardedness reaches an all time high!!!

I was talking to a Repuke voting friend of mine at work yesterday. He was telling me how his best friend (also a Repuke voter)JUST GOT HIS JOB OUTSOURCED!!! He went to work and was told to go home without a job!!

So I ask my friend if they are still voting for Shrub - answer - yes.

He said his buddy will just go find another job. The thing is his buddy worked for one of the largest IT companies in the US and there are fewer and fewer jobs available in his field because they are being sent overseas!

These freeptards just don't get it!! They get what they vote for - UNEMPLOYMENT!!

1. Then...

They deserve it.

I, on the other hand, don't. So I fight.

2. I don't think it's the most important issue

I COULD forgive the outsourcing and a few other things.

It's their crimes against humanity that are unforgivable!

3. One day someone will be able to identify the flawed..........

gene that causes conservatives to think like they do and to consistently vote against their own interest.
Some sort of character flaw.

4. Just go get another job? where - McDonald's?

I had a friend call the other day that got laid off this past summer. He had an interview where they would only go corp-to-corp and wanted to know if he could go thru my corp. I said "sure". He then started on - "is it too far - not enough money, etc, etc". I became very agitated and said fer crissakes TAKE IT - THERE ARE NOT MANY JOBS OUT THERE! They just don't get it!

5. your biggest mistake is

using the words "friend" and "repuke" in the same sentence. Anyone willing to vote for this corrupt, lying and incompetent fool in office is someone I would not attach the word "friend" to.

against slave wages in third world nations aint much fun when you need a first world income to pay the rent.

But, as all good conservanazi's, I'm sure they'll get on their knees and pray to the benevolent market elite to toss them a bone, and grant them a job making less money and fewer benefits.

7. It's sad...

I work in IT, and we've seen a huge shift in applicants. Where we used to get fresh-from-college-kids looking for a break, we're now getting applicants with Masters degrees and many years of experience. These people are applying for entry-level, low paying jobs. I feel very lucky to have the job I do, but I'm not kidding myself... the people looking have a lot more experience than I do!

8. That's my experience too

Edited on Wed Oct-27-04 09:20 AM by WillW

I'm very lucky to have the job that I do. I'm not one to say that I am where I am today based on my 'hard work'. While I do work hard, I am a person who realizes that circumstances made my career possible. With the exception of an A+ certification, I'm certainly not 'formally trained' for the job I do, nor do I carry any advanced degrees. I'm just a fairly bright person who thanks their lucky stars for a couple of lucky breaks.
