Jesus dude He's gotten out of hand. He's been trending that direction for a while now, makes Ed Schultz look like a p****.

I can't see how people vote for 90% of the these morons that somehow get into congress/senate/governor/city council positions, etc...but somehow they get there. What's more astounding is they often get re-elected without trying, despite how stupid they've shown they are while in power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How convenient that they've all dropped right before the election. It's obvious all of those states will revise their numbers in November or December.

StrangeSox Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 18, 2012 -> 03:13 PM) I actually think this is perfectly okay. I would want to know if a candidate is going to directly cause me peril at my place of work. If I work in pornography and Mitt Romney plans to ban it, I would like to know about this. Then the onus is on me to verify what my employer says, just like anything I hear anywhere else. If the employers want to somehow leverage people's jobs to bundle votes, then they can get in trouble as they should. In the end, more people talking is a good thing even if they might talk out of their ass (like anyone might do). It's a form of intimidation and works to suppress the speech of employees. How comfortable would you be with an Obama bumper sticker on your car if your boss told you there will be cutbacks if he wins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I worked there i'd just be like "meh". In most newspapers they are seriously hindered from showing any outward political allegiances (QUEUE HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER FROM CERTAIN POSTERS), and I'm sure most don't care.

StrangeSox Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I don't know where to dump this, but it relates to the discussion over hours worked that came up in the CTU strike thread. Turns out people overestimate how much they work on average: http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2012/1...nd_working.html nothing really political, just thought it was interesting.
