Are these five guys and the owner still unemployed? Sucking off the government unemployment teat?

It's funny. You give an example of a business owner who can't expand his business because it would take more money than he has, yet you expect the poor, who generally have no money at all, to 'invest' like the wealthy by purchasing 'assets'.

'Tis a puzzlement!


Automotive Repair and Auto Body Assistance Program | Compliance Assistance & Pollution Prevention in New England | US EPA


Compliance | Region 2 | US EPA

EDIT: I realize the first link is for New England. I don't know where you are (Michigan?), but that is what came up after a search.
It really makes no difference what you think.

The jobs are gone.

If you found that funny....I am glad you had a laugh......and hope you have job security.

Will the good times last for me? Probably not but I am preparing. When it happens will I be sad, you betcha, will I be prepared? You betcha!
You are talking perfect world. I doubt that you have ever had a rough time in your life with the things you post. Have you?

lol, you don't know, obviously you didn't read a few of my posts. Yep, I was one of those low middle class, paying the minimum due on debt, buying more that I could really afford, working my azz off and paying my way though, hey at least I wasn't a leach. Then one day I woke up and straightened my zzz up. What a difference mind set and action makes... what a difference!

Your post is a fail! And yes, life is good PS, I would suggest that your first step is to get away from the whiners. Even when you are becoming successful they will tell you that you are crazy, the negative talk begins when they see you getting somewhere. That happened to me. If you must be around them just smile but don't let them bring you down.

Maybe you should listen to people who are trying to tell you instead of fighting them, crying and complaining... obviously that isn't working for you... try something different.

You have got to be kidding......the Hiltons of the world are not likely to post on CD.

The OP has worked from the bottom up......many posters here could read her posts and do some thinking.

I wasn't laughing at those guys, I was laughing at your silly premise!

Which, by the way, you did not defend in the least. Just conveniently ignored my challenge.

Thank you Driller. If they only knew. It was one hard road. No one can ever say I didn't have hard times. I did. The difference is, I took responsibility and owned up to the problem I created and then took the responsibility of fixing it. It was worth every bump I came upon. Life is MUCH better since.

What I posted is not what I think; I posted hard data on the new rules for auto painting. It seems you can't address those, either.

Typical.

Well, that's really saying something if you cannot defend your own argument!
