Is "obummer" one of those terms used in place of "Obama" that ignorant people use because they cant formulate an adult level argument and have to resort to childish name calling?
That name tends to be much like the use of Shrub and others like that that I continually saw coming from the keyboards of lefties in the old days. I guess you Obamaites just don't remember those good old days.
I didn't get this one from Fox News as you could have seen if you had opened the link but I do live in farming country and those people here aren't getting any happier with this kind of garbage coming from the Obama administration.
One of my Senators, a Republican of course, is not in favor of this rule from the Department of Labor.
Yesterday one of them told my son who was working on his tractor that he is pretty sure that, even as big as his farm is, if they drive this one through Congress his family will have to just let the EPA and the Labor Dept. work their farm for them. I think that most farmers don't understand how all that crap worked out in the Soviet Union. It won't work here any better but many of the labor and left thinkers don't understand it either.
Obama and his like are going to see a revolution by the people if they keep this up.
They can't keep closing America down and then also looking to confiscate half or more of the money from those that do manage to still make a living.
These people are going to make themselves politically extinct if the electorate ever grows a memory.
1) Did you read the regulations in question?
2) Have you worked on a modern farm with combines, multi-ton tractors, augers, etc...? And no, the time you drove a John Deer on your Uncle Buck's back 40 doesn't count.
I have no Uncle Buck and never did do any farm work before I was 17. However, at that time with this pile of Pelosi in effect I would have been without a job that summer since this pile called for 18. They have already pretty well done away with all teens other than family working on farms and now we see the Dept of Labor wanting to do away with them
I do think that many farm kids like to work with the family and some even become farmers themselves. With this thing in effect fewer and fewer of them will work at home and go into the business themselves.
Hey, do you know where much of your food comes from? Like not all cattle are started in feed lots or even born there? I will take it for granted that unlike many city kids you do know what a cow looks like.
Yes, I have worked with all those equipments you mention and never came very close to getting injured. I guess you don't know who manufacturers the farm equipment most in use out here in the sticks. It is John Deere but they manufacture tractors from the size you were thinking about up to some pretty huge machines. I don't think you know much about what you speak of.
Out here in the sticks of western Kansas there are no back 40s left since most of the "plots" are well over quarter sections of land. You do know how many acres that is, I am sure. I have worked on some of them that were entire sections and you don't farm those things with what you call a John Deer (John Deere).
I don't think you know much about what you speak of.
Oh, sweet irony coming from you.
Yes, I did grow up on a farm with cows and every other manner of critter. Yes, I know the sizes of John Deer's, Massey Fergusson's, Kubota's, Ferrari's, and all the others come in. And, yes, I know that you didn't read anything on this beyond a terrible blog, otherwise you would know about the family exception to these regulations.
