Fuck you Corporate America

[Taverner]

Fuck you for laying me off to get a quick stock fix

Fuck you for not hiring me, instead stringing me along until you get your golden boy to sign

Fuck you for using your cash to hire politicans who try to fuck me over even worse

Fuck you for having the gall to say I'm lazy when I spend EVERY FUCKING DAY trying to get a job

Fuck you for raising prices at a time when no one can afford shit at the prices they already are

Fuck you for keeping MY Unemployment Insurance from me when I need it the most

I hope you fucking rot, Corporate America and ever other CorpoRAT out there

1. I hope they get free.

2. I don't follow - who gets free?

5. They are as trapped by the system as anyone else is.

If you asked most of them they would want to house the homeless, feed the poor, protect the environment, and do all the really good stuff everyone else likes to do. And many CEOs do those things with much of what they got.

But when a report comes across their desk, and it says let someone suffer to make money, they have to make money, it is there job, it is their obligation to make as much for shareholders as they can.

It is very hard for them to think about what is right in those restrictions. although some don't care, many really do, and they are as trapped by the system as anyone else. although many have been trained to not have guilt, and trained not to care, to help them not feel or think about those situations.

Hence why a base line of what is allowed on things like pollution and rackets is so helpful to the CEOs yet they will fight it, even though it helps them. They are no different then the teabaggers going against there own interests.

They fight it because they have to to make money, but if such things pass it allows them to do what they want to do in there heart which is also do better for environment and people as they have to make money.

6. Fuck 'em

Spit in their eye is the most they'll get out of me

19. Close to the Shakespear quote by Kahn.

Not my favorite part of that movie, the best part of that battle was when Spock observed that Kahn was thinking in 2d like a surface ship, and went 3d.

Note the post is not about wall street, but about not hating while being against their ideas.

8. I think you are wrong, by the numbers

some CEO's do good with a little of what they got.

A couple of CEOs do good with much of what they got.

But I betcha money they are no more oriented towards these things, proportionally of their resources, than anyone else. And if you count out the parts that are done for tax or PR reasons, I would be willing to bet that it is actually a lower proportion of the resources of most CEO's than for your average citizen.

10. You are probably correct.

Although they probably think paying for think tanks and things like that is doing good. It is probably a view thing for some of them.

Guess I am just not in a controversial mood right now, just listening to dire straits and relaxing. Maybe a little poking here or there, but been mostly a relaxing day, so might be being a bit nice in the comment.

But what you said seems probably more honest about the situation.

11. LOL, ha ha ha ha ha hee hee hee, LOL.

I have worked for CEO's and can tell you that 99% of them would not have a problem stepping over homeless in the street or polluting areas---as long as it isn't where they have a home. When I have said to them that I do not want to live in a country where there are masses of homeless families living in the streets and eating out of dumpsters, the comments go along the lines of "then all they have to do is get off their asses and work". I don't buy this at all, and any good that is done by these 99% is done for publicity, or acclaim, or tax breaks, or so they can run an ad saying how wonderful they are.

God bless the 1%ers.

12. Is that why the Administrator where I work hung a notice for voluntary

lay off at the time clock yesterday? Meanwhile, she owns 3 houses in 3 different states and is going in for Liposuction next week.

14. There is no reason to think Laffer's Hypothesis is correct

IN fact, its a false Economic model

Based on wants and not needs

17. Volunteers means that she doesn't have to deal with crying,

begging, or ticked off employees when she has to tell them. She really does hate doing it.

4. Damn.. Sorry you got laid off.

I hope you finally appealed and got approved for unemployment. :(

Getting laid off and having a company fight you for unemployment is like getting kicked down twice. That's evil. x(

My roommate and caretaker has been out of work now for almost two years. Thankfully I get a monthly check. That plus her unemployment, for as long as she keeps getting it, are enough for us to get buy.

She got cut off for a while and we discovered the hard way that we can both live on my check if we really have to, but it isn't easy. I hope we never have to do that again. Hopefully she'll have a job again before that happens again.

Hopefully you'll find a job again soon too. Sending good vibes. :)

7. This should be a central part of the official Democratic Party Platform-won't hold my breath though

This sucks that this is happening to you, and I was not being the least bit facetious saying this should be a centerpiece, word for word, of our party's platform.

[Taverner]

15. Ain't gonna happen

I will say that in tough situations, the Democratic party has failed time and time again.

The only time they really stood up for the majority is under FDR.

But after that, they've been just as complicit as the Republicans.

-------------------------------------------------

But a 3rd party would never work in the USA. Even if it won an election or two, it would shrink to the sidelines on other elections.

The Democratic Party needs to be reorganized.

--------------------------------------------------

If the Democratic Party were rebuilt, perhaps it might be tweaked into something that actually helps people - rather than this 'big tent' that allows CorpoRATs AS well as Union guys, families, and everyone left behind.

Perhaps a Rebuild and Save, rather than die in the ashes might be a better solution

9. amen

16. Well, don't hold back, man, let it out.

I feel your pain, as Mr. Clinton used to say. They're bastards and I'm sick and tired of the "invisible hand of the market" fisting me. Really, REALLY not into it.

20. -- U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864

I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. . . . corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."
