I've been unemployed for over a year. I worked for a company for 9 years, and it was sold to a company on the opposite side of the U.S. The original small company I was hired onto, was bought by a corporate behemoth and the inept CEO drove us into the ground…so he sold us at a great loss, and soon afterward resigned (but he managed to remain on the payroll by being on the board…for 1 million a year). His brilliant plan for the company was 50% jobs in the U.S., 50% overseas (Russia, elsewhere).

I was on state unemployment for a while looking for full time jobs, and then became concerned about the hole in my resume, so I dropped unemployment; since then, I have been working freelance where possible—in a feeble attempt to keep my resume alive.

Month after month of no interviews, has caused me to resign myself to the idea of taking on work that will be close to 1/2 of my previous hourly wage, and will completely obliterate my resume /work history. I truly believe that (although I workout six times per week and look healthy) employers are age biased. It doesn't take a lot in these times, to Google a candidate's last name/address, and see their age…and then take a younger candidate. Heck, if I owned a company, I'd probably do the same thing. No hard feelings.

But tonight, after logging out of my Yahoo mail having checked my job notices, I see a Yahoo! News post with a photo of an arrogant smile on the inebriated face of my countries' House Speaker, followed by the title, "House Approves Bill That Delays Obamacare. US Government Shutdown Threat." You bastards finally got some work done, huh?

I remember how lucky I felt when I missed those first rounds of layoffs at my company during the Great Recession…and now it looks to me, that drunk bastard wants to put us down that road again— and I'm unemployed.

Go Fuck Yourself Boehner. (And seriously, there's only one way to pronounce that name…quit kidding yourself).

Sorry DU'rs for the sour language. I'll edit if required.

---I've added in this later: wow, I really rambled in this post...sorry about that.

I'm hoping good forces come together for You--You have been through the mill enough!!
Wishing You better times!!

(I doubt Boehner could even get fucking himself right.)

4. Nonsense. I applaud your mildness and your restraint.

I've been shadowboxing with insane Twitter trolls all day. Every devout thing they believe is upside down and backwards and they scare the shit out of me. In fact, I am happy to recommend Republicans for anyone with constipation.

6. Twitter is of course named after the primary user base of the service, the twit

7. Of course! How did I not realize?

5. The economy is not good

Tofuandbeer and I have a common experience. Out of work for a long period of time, unemployed, however, I have to overcome a sprain ankle before I am whole again. Then because of filing with workmen’s compensation a target is place on your back. So for those of you out there beware an unusual horrible culture of very draconian devises to hurdle through time after time will confront you.

Sometime during an application a question will arise which will ask have you ever applied for Workmen’s Compensation, a view that many should seek to eliminate from answering. A simple request that should be able to happen in the American represented form of government. Workmen’s Compensation is as draconian as preexisting conditions from my view one of the monumental reasons that is needed in the new health care bill.

From my view it is extraordinary how our business system is so draconian attractive especially scaled worse than the Chinese government requiring only one child with openly attractive abortion laws, perhaps good reason Republicans demand antiabortion while parading for anti-Chinese, but America has a preferred trade policy with china to buy all kind of kid toys.

A draconian algorithm here with a toy industry is built upon the principle to styme girl babies. Here the American insane economy keeps them going while American radio and television advertise condoms commercials all over in a daily rant.

Most American companies appear as pleasant on the outside, however, by working in the interior core displays something worse than any hardball game thought of. Those purchased by world international money which may be loaded with our very own tax money given to foreign places by our secret Federal Reserve deals, or IMF deals, or World Bank deals. The real disgusting money laundering deals are those offshore Cayman Island deals. The Romney loaded with profiteer-able unimaginable huge gains in interest profits not talked about.

8. What/who is going to stop the Rs from their 3 decade long criminal rampage?

Nobody, we're fed "look forward" propaganda while the revolving door of corrupt bankers head up every section of U.S. government economic policy, and that's while Ds are in power.
