User ID: 76133574 U.S. Virgin Islands 06/11/2022 12:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Y'all want to hear something crazy? The grocery shelves are stocked better down here than they were in the states. The biggest thing I noticed is the BABY FORMULA is FULLY stocked. I find that odd because guess where we get our shipments from? That's right, the USA. Not sure what to think about that. Gas prices are: Regular: 5.59 Premium: 5.79 Diesel: 5.99 Craziness because gas is usually $1-$2 more down here than the US. There seems to be less people here than last year, thank God. Airfare has shot up from $650 last year to $900 and up from my home airport. And that's coach, nothing special. My covid adventure continues. Now when I breathe out I smell steak. Like a good, grilled juicy steak. ONLY when I breathe out. Haven't tried the mayo or dressings again. I figured I'd give that a while. I do notice I get tired more easily, but that could also be because I've been going non-stop since recovering. We shall see how that plays out. I start work Monday so I'll keep y'all posted on what's happening down here. Y'all stay safe out there! People suck. |

DEFCON 4 User ID: 68424970 United States 06/11/2022 01:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Workers??? Quoting: Moniker Shmoniker There is a place that has monthly new employee orientation. They haven't had one in 2 months due to lack of applicants. This started even prior to the pandemic, but the pandemic amplified it 1,000 times. At an old job of mine, I would hire a dozen people and tell them to be at new employee orientation on Monday morning. Six might show up. Of that six, one or two *might* make it past their 90-day probationary period. After the pandemic started, I would train eight new employees at orientation, and half of them wouldn't even come back from lunch.

Quoting: Moniker Shmoniker Gotta love irony- rural property prices are down, but gas is too expensive to move any distance from jobs! LOL I hear you! I have to water my balcony garden every day. I think I'm developing what seems to be a muscle from carrying this watering can back and forth. Lol. Hang in there with your property search! :) First tell the truth, then give your opinion.... |

Quoting: JAZZz50 Then, you will be the boy in the bubble or "Bubble Boy." turned a fan on to blow air out. washed what we knew they touched. did have a sign posted for them to wear masks. all we can do, i guess. they took radiators out of every apt. so if anyone has it, they spread it thru the entire building. I know how you feel. I live in an apartment too. Keep the doors and windows open when maintenance has to come in. Stand outside or next to the window if you can. First tell the truth, then give your opinion.... |

Gotta have a valid reason. |

I find it interesting that folks would go through even that much bless they needed it for unemployment claims. The pay rate for the hard physical labor in extremely hot temperatures was pathetic. I know I would have rather taken a $10/hour job at a fast food joint working in air conditioning than the $12/hour those idiots were paying to work outside in the blazing sun. And they kept asking me why the only workers we could get were ex-cons. The owner of the company was a hard-core Republican and Trump supporter, which is why I didn't want to get into the "why." I was there the day after the election in 2008 when he said his employees "were too happy" and he was "going to lay off any employee with an Obama sticker on their car." That experience left a nasty taste in my mouth because it was just shy of voter intimidation as far as I was concerned. People should be able to vote for whomever they wish without having to worry about losing their jobs over it. This is the same Covid-is-a-hoax fucknugget who fired me in mid-2020 because I wouldn't shut up about them not allowing me to enact or enforce any real Covid safety policies.

User ID: 77771189 United States 06/12/2022 08:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | remember way back when i explained how the govern makes things really really bad so u accept bad? they screw things up and then save u by helping u up to a step that is much lower than we are now. there are several of these in play. if they can get us to accept the govern as it is is broken, then ppl will accept the NWO as a fix. such as a 1 world govern will bring peace- note the war in UKRAINE for 1 example. they'll need a lot more screwing up to get there. might b 6 mths to a year of hell. but that is how the govern's do things. kinda like u go from the top of the mountain down to the valley and then bury us in 10 ft of mud. bringing us up to ground level is an improvement, yet no where near the top of the mountain. and as u know we will pay dearly for the trip and the end results. we have shortages of truckers, issues at ports, and shortages= push to bring in automatic, AI, self driven trucks. 1 step away from the AOC train and self checkouts in all retail outlets. high prices= a universal global economic standard. shortages with high prices- blame corporations and govern can take them over too. JAZZZ50 2020 The SHTF literally as TP ran out. we went from being over the target, to actually being the target. too close to the truth. if i had a dollar for everytime someone says "merge" without using the word, i'd b so green i'd b King of Mars. |
