We have to work 24/7 to boycott and otherwise convince everyone to stop buying from these companies that ship jobs to china. (Not that I was ever one of those morons who busts down the doors at Walmart to get my $2.00 big screen TV), but you know what I mean. I will not forget this and I will do everything I can to smash these corporations. I think all the negativity is working as ABC is now highlighting that everything is made in china and how not to buy it. But it needs to continue. I will not rest until I see these people in prison. I also think enough people need to sweep both parties out of office.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-5837734663272607922011-04-04T21:16:01.257-07:002011-04-04T21:16:01.257-07:00Hang in there Susan, I need every reader I can get...Hang in there Susan, I need every reader I can get!Bud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-85104857860063806452011-04-04T19:42:44.016-07:002011-04-04T19:42:44.016-07:00According to the local news today, McDonalds is go...According to the local news today, McDonalds is going to start hiring 50,000 people, including mgmt. Oh yeah! Except here North of Chicago, they dont hire you at my age, 54, and you also have to speak Spanish!!! But the talking heads were so gleeful! Can you put a roof over your head and pay bills on min.wage? I think not! As far as the UE being 8 percent and the economy improving, what a crock!! The American dream is long gone and as you say those jobs arent coming back. I worked in over 5 industries in the last 30 yrs (Admin.Asst, Bookkeeper, Corporate Travel Agent and Bartender. I have an AA degree and many professional training certs.and I am considered obsolete. I am with you, Bud, of course I am discouraged!!! And now were not even counted in the UE numbers!!! And yet, I still cannot receive my SSD or get any assistance from Ill. and I am about to give up. I have no hope left.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08601168972689125872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-33480293095697577382011-04-04T07:26:12.764-07:002011-04-04T07:26:12.764-07:00One thing you left out.
