Mandatory Old Testament kills people. Is Biden going to end it?

Post by _DoubtingThomas »

I don't think Biden is going to do anything to end mandatory overtime, he said nothing would change if elected. Overtime is killing a lot of people.

Oh for pete sakes. I took overtime anytime I could get it plus evening speaking fees. I'm still standing.

You have good genes.

I think I had the coronavirus and nothing happened to me.

You didn't have to do it in hazmat gear.

I'll give you credit for not being upset that you paid higher tax rate for overtime pay than regular pay. It's something I despused as an employee.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

You have no reason to say that without knowing my health history. Has nothing to do with good genes. Growing up in poverty makes some people push harder for what they want or need. My first ever job was minimum wage, during the holiday season I worked well over 50 hours a week while going to school. I lied about my age to get that job. I never once expected anyone to hand me anything. I went out and got it for myself.

How do you know what I had to do it in? Do you know my work history? Do you know how many types of jobs I've done in my life? What about Jersey Boy? Do you know his work history or the requirements of each of his jobs?

Do you think you have it harder than everyone else or something? If you do, that mindset is your greatest enemy.

DT, how does Trump feel about Mandatory Old Testament? Which candidate do you think would be more amenable to working to increase health and safety standards?

Do you think a President Sanders would have ended mandatory Old Testament? If so, explain to me the concrete steps that would have made that happen.

Lol. Minimum wage, holiday season, 50 hrs a week? Sounds like retail temping at a Jersey Mall over Christmas/Hanukkah shopping season. So yes, that’s the equivalent of working in hazmat gear, IMHO! kudos to you, Jersey Girl, for working hard and taking responsibility at such a young age.

I'll tell you exactly what my first job was but I am not sure you'll know the store because it's gone now but I think the last to go was in your general location. I lied about my age at 17 to get a $1.35 per hour job scraping goddamn rock hard Italian Ice on the sidewalk in sweltering heat in front of a Two Guys store in Monmouth County in summer. I worked my freaking sweaty ass off there. By Christmas I was working inside (not really, it was in the entry way where I then froze my freaking ass off) and the store was open until midnight. I can still recite the closing PA announcement verbatim because I usually worked nights. Later, I worked inside, learned every f-ucking job in the department, ended up in management. Bought my own car in the process and met some guy who was mopping floors and cleaning f-ucking toilets who had 3 jobs. ;-)

So there, you whining candy asses on the thread!

Too much swearing? Did I go all Jersey? I hate people who whine about s-hit. You can't wait for people to hand you ANYTHING in life, you have to REACH for it.

In closing...

Good evening Two Guys shoppers. Your store will be closing in 10 minutes. Please bring your final purchases to the registers located at the front of the store. Your Two Guys store will be open again tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. It's been a pleasure serving you and goodnight
