When every human with the power that faith provides gives it up - then it may end. I know I won't be giving mine up, so we're going to be alright :-)

54ford- Jimminy! You're really gonna make me look for that brain cell! hahahaa now I remember! thanks for poster prompts

Tex- union jobs don't pay anymore, they've shrunk down to nothing since reagan yrs broke the back. They were benchmark for middle class, but without them, the difference between haves and have nots is getting bigger and bigger.
Labor doesn't get treated well, doesn't get paid well, is vulnerable to every economic whim imaginable (first fired), and if you can't work with a broken back.... that's why no one wants the job anymore. It's not laziness, it's poor leadership from mgmt. Nobody wants to work for free, right? Trading your very life to appease ambitious middle managers trying to get a spot on top rung is a deal breaker. Management has been playing to lose since reagan era.
Glad to see shows like mike rowe dirty job- laborers deserve more respect than what they get. They take care of us all silently, without applause, whole other kind of hero. Farmers keep this world turning. Blessings every one of them.
