I warn there is cursing, but this guy makes a point. He basicly says people have become too spoiled or good for old-fashion work. Keep in mind he lives in a part of the country where there are still jobs, no matter how shameful dead-end or embaressing they may seem.

I could only listen to so much of Joey Buttafucco preaching here with his cursing. His message makes sense but the irony of a joisey guy never sounding different from the cliche is too much. That said, I have a few friends out of work that either do not want to commute for low pay or are tired of the system and the low returns the job market can offer to even the better workers. I feel like the chump sometimes schlepping to work. I have to convince myself that I am paying my bills and setting aside money for retirement and that is a good thing. Perhaps we are getting to the point where the pretentiousness displayed by having killer money to keep up with the Jones does not mean what we thought it should mean. It's nice to have a good job, but when many are out of work they just do not want to hear about how great life is for you.
