Good Idea for Bailout
Almost everyone knows by now the "Big 3" US automakers want government money to keep from going under. I heard someone on CNN give a great idea - they can have it if they close all their overseas factories and bring the jobs back here (and sign a contract they can't move them back over. ) Otherwise, they don't get a penny.

This is the statement I am worried about most. You're basically sending people to jail for 10 years for thoughtcrime. Room 101?
Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare

If you would just answer my posts satisfactorily I would leave you alone. Personally I couldn’t care less about your hack job of a belief system, I just don’t like how you advocate mass genocide and totalitarianism on a scale that would make Hitler and Stalin look like they were running a god damned lemonade stand and yet still consider yourself to be on the moral high ground because of some retardedly vain justification of how you are saving people from exploitation. All you are advocating is making the servants the masters and sadistically hoping they will be even worse than the old masters were but only to the old masters.
By your logic, once you’ve done this whole revolution thing, will that mean the Capitalists will be justified in doing the same to you if they regain power given how you want to ‘exploit’ them for your own sick entertainment?
This is why I so disliked the colonial age, not because of what went on, but because the powers at the time had to justify their actions instead of just admitting that they were nothing but greedy bastards grabbing at land and resources. You just want to grab power, and like the weak willed despots of that bygone age you have to justify it to yourself and make up imaginary causes to fight for so you don’t have to cry yourself to sleep each night.
If you can admit that you are a sociopathic bloodthirsty sadistic bastard, then I will leave you alone, mostly. Actually I will probably still take random potshots at your ideas every now and then when I feel bored, but I won’t be ‘stalking (you) throughout the site’ anymore.
Furthermore, I want proof that I am an asshat.
Finally, I have to ask, what is it about my name that is so hard to get? Seriously people, at least mohammed was just truncating it at the wrong spot, but this? Though I will admit that Siseph is a fairly interesting name, I’ll have to use if for something and see how it works. Or are you referring to me as Sisyphus? I will admit I certainly seem to be engaged in a Sisyphean challenge right now. Overall the guy seemed like my type of person, shame about the rock.
Not finally; it’s not the capitalists that keep the people in chains, it’s the people themselves. If the workers you feel are so exploited actually worked together for better wages/health care/whatever the capitalists would have no choice but to relent. Yes, this means either working together on a global scale or getting the help of consumers in the form of boycotts, but your actions are hardly limited. The economic system of the world today is hardly a one-way street; both Capitalists and Workers are co-dependent, symbiotic if you will. At least until we get more advanced robotics.
Are you going to run from this post too?
When you say it like that you make it sound so Sinister...

However, he didn't choose the punishment. lol.

I'm not sure if it qualifies for cruel, but it certainly is unusual. He should totally appeal the decision to the US Supreme Court! Hey, on his way out of Tartarus he can try and grab Johnnie Cochran to be his defense lawyer. He can't lose!

I don't think Matt ever got back to me on whether or not he would torture me, my parents and my grand father, and some of my friends for working or previously working at international corporations. Is he really advocating sawing my dad's fingers off (my dad works for a small international corporation that has overseas employees and production)? Would he really cut my dick off and rub salt on the wound (I briefly worked at a company with factories overseas, and I'm arranging an interview for a job at an international corporation)? Would he really advocate killing my grandfather (he worked for decades in international corporations)? I could go on with family members or friends of mine that meet Matt's criteria of needing to be tortured to death. I doubt he would really advocate this on a case-by-case basis. He speaks vaguely of some business class members he would want tortured to death or about how capitalists should be shot, but if you got a group of people supporting international businesses together (like some of my family members for instance) I doubt he would advocate their killing or torture. That's the worst part about all of this, I know that he wouldn't have the will to really do these things in real life.
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."

I'm not allowed to discuss these things anymore but I was talking about the people in charge- I would see the employees as expolited by them.

Depends how you treated them. I admire mom and pop type businesses that give their employees a fair wage and don't overwork them.

Let's move on, Jill. The past is just that. Past.
As a business owner, do you recall thinking that some of your colleagues were bad employers?
I think everyone has 'A christmas Carol' seasonal affective disorder anyway. lol.

Well, I find it an interesting side study.
Every year, one of my crew starts making jokes about the boss and it builds from there. Pretty soon, they're hoping he gets visited from four ghosts and made to watch his own funeral. lol.
It falls to me to defend his alleged charitibility(word?) i.e. charitable nature. If they knew how hard it was for he and I to justify maintaining all of them then they would probably hug us. Thank goodness he's not the hugging kind of guy.
Through the years supervising different people, it has seemingly been this part of the year.
Yet another reason I hate the season. lol.

It's all perspective and personal expectations. I think bosses are inappropriately Scrooged when the employees get to feeling they're owed more than the original working contract. (Definitely so if they're really getting less than the original contract or are being treated as disposable. But that's appropriate then.)

Yep. It follows that it would affect us ideologically too if the perceived situation persists.
Some people are economically trapped. I don't have this problem, but several that I work with do suffer from it.
For example, I've got a guy that can't perform any work on his vehicles without fucking them up hardcore. Yet, he is the person (when I'm not here) they look to to tell them which way something turns inside of the machine when repairs are needed to be made. Basically, he has grasped 3D thinking at work, but can't change a tire.
Autism anyone? I don't know. I do know that he would be the only possible escapee from this job to another one. The rest couldn't make it in another industry, yet a couple of them consider themselves indispensable.
It always makes me wonder if they're late for work because they needed to take a couple of extra minutes in the mirror saying, "I am important and darn it, people like me."

Humanity is quite a soup of attitudes, ideals and perceptions. Next to impossible for managers/bosses to be able to really deal fairly with them all - and some end up in the grinder. There needs to be more psychology taught in business management. People get run over by their little quirks and whatnot all the time, and it would help a great deal if managers understood the mechanisms and could respond more appropriately - it'd save a lot of time, money and hassle for all involved. And I'd pay extra taxes to support a government run mental health service that would help handle the little every-day things that can overwhelm anyone. I'd consider it part of the infrastructure

In my own situation I put in for Social Security under the recomendation of OVR (Office of Vocational Rehabilitaion) even though the Psychiatrist who did testing on me said I was "absolutely brilliant. " I go there tomorrow afternoon. I'm hoping I can get a job - the biggest hardship is my utter lack of social skills which makes interviews especially difficult. Hopefully they can get me something. I have been getting bored and working would almost certainly pay more than collecting Social Securit Disability.

Apparently the best career for me is either Insurance Adjuster (office based) or going to grad school and doing medical research.
