the anglo-saxon american is also an immigrant, but they seem to conveniently ignore that point. the true americans, live on the reservation. everyone else should sit small and keep quiet regarding who should or should not be in America. in any event, the age of Trump is upon the world for better or worse and there is no amount of statements, protests, etc., that can do anything about it.. mexicans, blacks, palestinians, North Korea, no climate change, etc., the list just keeps getting longer.. the doomsday clock must be awfully damned close to midnight these days..
you have to wonder how long these silly politicians are going to leave this farce in the labour law called a sickout.. its nothing more than a deliberate withdrawal of labour and should,be treated no different to submission of one's resignation...we all know, on a balance of probability, all staff cannot be sick the same day... its statistically impossible i would suggest..
cruise lines and airlines do this sort of thing all the time.. its 2018, they know every word you post, every text, where you spend your money, where OBL was hiding in Pakistan, etc. bottom line is anybody watching the evening news knows exactly what the weather conditions will be tomorrow, judge the cruise lines and airlines who employ professional meteorologists just for this purpose.. someone needs to test the legal waters with a negligent operation lawsuit... people pay to get from A to B, not to have the living s*#t scared out of them...
all kind of problems to be addressed including driving on the wrong side of the road, most vehicles having the steering wheel on the left side.. many easily solved matters, but we are a country crippled by inertia born out of a public service culture and political system characterised by massive bureaucracy. .
this is a private company that has some disgruntled shareholders due to decisions arising in the normal course of business as a private company.. we have civil law and companies are formed in accordance with laws.. this is not a matter for gov't involvement.. take the gripe to court and let the judges rule..
what they need to do is 'tighten up' and fix this rubbish system that allows the parasite lawyers and real estate agents to collect fees by percentage instead of fixed rates.. there is no difference in selling a house for $500k versus one for $700k so why should they collect more using the percentage system? imagine how much more activity would take place in a,fixed fee system.. its all BS and discourages a system of buyers and sellers.. nobody is motivated to buy, fix and resell all the rundown, shabby buildings because you can't make anything on a resale...
Minnis really created a mess with his ill-considered, Donald Trump style, when he arbitrarily declared 100k per annum salary to be some magical threshold above which represents exhorbitant compensation.. as a skilled professional, he of all persons ought to know this is not an amount to be having a conversation about... shows how out of touch we are with reality.. meanwhile, its okay that former politicians and GGs receive lavish pensions and benefits, persons who require no special training or experience.. my God..
if we vote in our national interest, there is only one vote we could have cast and that would have been to support the USA position. anybody seen any tourists coming here in any significant numbers from anyplace else? what do we have to gain by abstaining? what ME interest are we protecting? i also suggest that as a 'christian' nation according to the constitution, we were bound to agree with recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital.
