then watched your 401K tank while you lost your job


It happened to me. Lost my job, ok, well sort of. I hinted to the boss
to make me next as I wanted out anyways and was casually looking. But
still, got the RIF. They gave me the news at 11am, I came home and
partied all afternoon. Boss really hated letting me go, but so what, I
look after #1, my family.

Difference was I had eyes open and knew it was coming. It was also the
only way I could get a severance, and roll over the pensions. In cash
too, just before the crash. Opportunity.


notice he thinks 100,000,000 americans should spend all their time
sitting on their asses watching their stocks instead of raisin their
kids, building their communities, etc...


I didn't stand in the middle of the tracks like a dumb sheep or deer and
wait for it to hit me so I could wallow in self pity and whine.


notice the right doesnt WANT things to change. he thinks that, when
you get angry, you're 'whining'...all the while he whines about how
lazy the middle class is.

when you propose changes to the economy, you're 'whining'...in spite
of the fact HE would drive unemployment to 25%.

he's too stupid to know that HIS policies would destroy the middle
class. the right thinks the middle class should just shut up and take
it. anything else is 'whining'.


So, I guess you screwed up then eh? You story? Loser in auto gets the
axe and developes self pity for being asleep in life?


yeah. me and 100,000,000 other americans. but your attitude is 'let
'em eat cake'
