Only large institutions and salaried workers for the most part.<br />It is surprising that RR workers don't get it. Of course then too their pay scale is much, much higher than most average mom and pop workers too.Spudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689059709873763146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-41270797341926871672022-12-01T20:02:06.826-05:002022-12-01T20:02:06.826-05:00Communists?Communists?John Schmainghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894213413747091241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-28064586530849222822022-12-01T20:01:06.567-05:002022-12-01T20:01:06.567-05:00Education.

We are well off the major highways. I've had some health challenges in the past couple of years but I'm doing better. The manufactured firewood gives me a cushion. I'm heading out for more "real" firewood this morning. I like the new chainsaw. The big electric is quiet.

Pelosi held a separate vote on a measure to rectify this and include paid sick time in the deal, and it passed. Now it has to pass the Senate, which is more of a problem because of the filibuster (they'll need ten Republicans to support it). If it passes there, though, the workers will get their main demand.Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-90089438929551112632022-12-01T07:18:57.390-05:002022-12-01T07:18:57.390-05:00Yeah , I'm concerned about the neighbors first...Yeah , I'm concerned about the neighbors first.

I'm concerned for your welfare in cold preparedness. Having a little bit of manufactured firewood ... ain't prepared !

Getting hurt by bad body mechanics or a widow maker dropping on you is AH BAD in a no EMS response show emergency.<br /><br />It's the Un-prepared and the wanna be warlords who weekend LARP with squaddie gear that concern me.<br /><br />They are difficult to plan around.
