I work for a military contractor.  I’m not proud of it, but try to find a manufacturing job in this country let alone one that doesn’t involve making something for the military.

We’ve been on mandatory overtime for about a year now.  Everyone’s burned out on the 6 day weeks but they threaten us with dismissal if we don’t comply.  Apparently they’re willing to sacrifice a few experienced and hard working operators in order to scare the rest into submission.

Meanwhile, people are losing their homes because they can’t find work anywhere.

We spent hundreds of billions to bail out the investment banks.  They used the money to buy out their competition and payed themselves big bonuses for doing such a good job.

Tony Hayward just wants his life back. 

The Repugs are opposed to extending unemployment benefits because it will increase the deficit, unlike the war I guess.

Somehow, the fact that we send money to Pakistan so the ISI can support the insurgents who keep this whole thing going so the military industrial complex can maximize their profits by working some of us to death while the rest starve, doesn’t seem all that absurd.
