“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Stupid bastards, this would only give my wife more time for extras on the Honey Do list. :thatsright:
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

I love my 13 hour/3 day workweeks. Plenty of down time and plenty of time for overtime if it is available. Nurses do it all the time.

I used to work in an aluminum mill in which many of my married co-workers would work double shifts on the weekends. OT on Saturday and double time on Sunday...I used to mention...."so when you are working double shifts, is your wife spending double time shoppping?"

That really pissed some of my co-workers off.  :lmao: 

I used to work all kinds of hours, I was in my early 20's. It was easy to get a 16 hour shift on a Sunday. Now that same plant changed the rules, they only pay time and a half on Sunday, as they changed the definition of a work week.
