is the hedging primitive once known as the burdened primitive?

By chance, this caught my eye.

The burdened primitive, the "TylerDurden" primitive, has been gone away from Skins's island for a while.  Some might remember; that squiggly 56-year-old overweight guy from Michigan who had a vague low-level retail position with an auto-parts supplier--although many accused him of being a spatula-flipper at a fast-food place--that was veering on the edge of bankruptcy; a primitive who alleged himself to be a "socialist."

After the burdened primitive, who supported any Democrat candidate for president other than Pa Kettle currently in the White House, left, we were all the poorer for it, as the burdened primitive was always a barrel of laughs.

The burdened primitive, along with Ms. Ed the unappellated eohippus, still ranks as one of the two biggest liars on Skins's island.

Anyway, might the burdened primitive once again be among the primitives on Skins's island?  You judge.

I'm not sure what to think about this. I worked for a company and was pretty miserable there because I kept raising questions about safety issues that other people didn't want to deal with. I was finally laid off, but somehow never called back to work. Last January someone got killed in a department where I used to work, doing something I wouldn't have allowed. I understand OSHA hasn't left the place since. Yesterday the place filed for bankruptcy.

We're talking about 1000 jobs here, but I'm not sure this company should survive.

Oddly enough, I do have a every small vested pension, and the company was forced into bankruptcy when it defaulted on a deposit to the pension account

2. If your pension is small, it should be covered by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation

It's kind of like the FDIC for pensions.

7. I didn't think of that. It's probably to small to support me, but it would
pay for some extras.

8. It's a supplier to tha auto industry.

I dunno.  But I suspect I'm looking at a familiar primitive, different name, here.

What's anybody else think?

There are 3 variations on Tyler Durden registered over there (1 with 13 posts, another with 0 posts) and the 'Tyler Durden' has a disabled profile.  'Tyler Durden' was a Clinton supporter and posted at a variety of Hillary sites.

Hedgehog has almost 16k posts since April '04, but to tell you the truth I've never paid any attention to her.

There's a plethora of registered members there with few or no posts, so how many are sockpuppets?  It's a great way for $kins to inflate his membership numbers.

The hedgehog primitive used the words "I worked" which leads me to believe it's not Tyler Durden since he wasn't qualified to be a doorstop.

Sort of lacks the angry and self-pitying flavor of most of Tyler's posts to me, just FWIW.

Okay, I'll accept that it's not the burdened primitive.

I wasn't looking so much for the style, as quoted by Tanker, as the alleged events stated by the hedging primitive.

One learns.
