Och, Mon indeed it is, England is known for their horses, Scotland for her men!
Sounds good to me. Sign me up!
Some Spirited Quick Hits:
You want something unique? Big Hero 6 opens today. You want something unique from Pixar? They have three films in the pipeline that aren't sequels.
Back to capitalism because I just find it so amazing, so scary and so American for ants (and that is what we are) who feel the need to stand up for corporations and their right to make as much as possible at any cost and to treat workers in any way to get there. Yes, that is one sign of a former great society that doesn't have much left in the tank. Apparently, no lessons were learned in 2008 except the economic collapse was caused by those former neighbors that you hated buying a home for $569,000 when they could only afford a $210,000 home and then having them run up $75,000 in credit card debt that they defaulted on.
Responsibility is a two way street to my 'friends' and, yes, I use that term lightly, on the right. If individuals need to show it and live by it in your view of the perfect America, then so also do corporations. $9 an hour and providing no benefits (free theme park admission and 60% off $400 a night hotels don't count) isn't doing so.
Now ... I must run ... I just heard that Black Friday was starting today because why even wait until 6 a.m. on (blanking) Thanksgiving Day to mindlessly spend.
I hit "like" so fast I nearly broke my screen.
This may be a little off-topic but,
@WDW1974, what are your thoughts on the health of frontline CMs? I swear there's an enormous amount of very obese CMs, I would think if you are walking around on your feet all day you would stay in relatively decent shape, what's being served in the cafeteria?
That's easy. Carbs are cheaper than healthy food.
And if the CM s are anything like me (having crohns disease, colon cancer and ibs all running in my family bloodline- my mom the sufferer of two of these) fruits and veggies on a 30 minute lunch break are going to result in several trips to the Tangled Toilets after their break time is over and I'm sure managers frown upon that.
And again, crap food is cheap. I've gained nearly twenty pounds since being unemployed because I'm trying to stretch my dollar as far as it'll go. Now I'm taking it to a new level and simply skipping breakfast and lunch and drinking lots of water (and coffee) and without hesitation I'm positive that CMs also do that. I used to survive solely on good meats,fresh fruits and veggies, fancy grains and have now switched to mostly flash frozen veggies, I won't touch canned fruit, and a five lb bag of white rice costs $2.50, versus the $5 a lb red quinoa I love dearly. I'd kill a man for fresh pears and oranges this holiday season and I wish I were joking about that. I Can't imagine what poor CMs think when they see the gluttonous waste going on in the MK. Also, the prices people will pay...unreal.
Being poor, working for little pay, really isn't a joke. I was raised with "any job is a respectable job" but have quickly learned that the lowest paying jobs are the most respectable...because you work your off. The frontline CMs most definitely do.
Rolling this ball back to obese CMs... Our society is a lot different today than it was in Walts days. Cheap food, technology (which keeps you distracted instead of physically engaged in activity) and stress can and will keep you fat. Especially is you're stressing out about not affording groceries because you only make $9 an hour.
I'd like to bump that $9 an hour up to include wages all the way to $14 an hour, but I digress. We shouldn't get into that here.
