This brings back memories of something I've learned in middle school about how during the Great Depression some people went to jail on purpose because they couldn't afford to feed themselves. The way things are going now, those days might come back.

wow that was a funny OP...


However, even after how bad it made work look like... there is nothing as DEHUMANIZING as being locked in a cage.




You make a choice to show up for work. There is no one to blame but yourself for that. However, many old people could blame inflation and big gov't.

They could, but that's just misplacing blame.

At work, you usually get a few warnings and are then fired if you try to make a run for it.

In prison, you are fired upon if you try to make a run for it.

How would someone who is unemployed know that? Besides, if you would let bosses give it to you in the rear they would probably hire you.
