You left out: untrue, lol. Seriously: half the human race?!

I can understand not having it in one's wallet, but anyone who doesn't have it in their heart is a sorry specimen of humanity. This close to Christmas just makes it even worse for the survivors.

Whether I am the most liberal participant is debatable [depending on who's participating, lol], but uninformed? No, sir, that I am not. Nor do I "loathe" myself, [I will cop to the occasional few moments of ambivalence, but it's usually caused by something I ate.] I see no reason to feel...

Texas calls everybody a weenie, all the time - it's one of the things they do best. But let a little 'disaster' afflict their state, [even when it's self inflicted] and they don't waste a second hitting up the feds for aid, lol. :rolleyes:

Pilgrim wrote: "Since America isn't the utopia the author wants it to be, he engages in the usual liberal self loathing America hating white guilt." Any claim to credibility or actual critical thought, [slight as it may have been in some quarters] vanished completely with that one sentence.

Your humour isn't funny - are you a Republican? Didn't much care for that, did you? Make half the population feel unwelcome here, and watch how much faster EO can go down the drain. :(

One of my late December chores is to update all my 'contact' info, [phone numbers, addresses, emails], and I want to update the Load 1 list too, but I don't know if the info [on the sticky] is correct. Does it need updated too? :confused:

The cost of living goes up regardless - it always has, and always will. Not raising the lowest wages just causes more need for taxpayer funded help [to people - corporations get funds anyhow]. Maybe the wage slaves have kids they need to raise, unlike us. I know I'd rather they focus on...

Deville: that's the big question. Personally, I would continue to flag it, just as a CYA measure, because if you do it, you need to log it. The new rule just omits the DVIR form - a major time & labor savings for the carriers, but less so for individual drivers.

But you did reference the minimum wage, implying it is the reason for the price increase. As if prices don't increase otherwise, but we know that's not true. If we don't care for being at the bottom, we could always start our own company, eh?

Don't reply - just ask yourself, seriously: when people believe that those at the bottom of the income ladder are to blame for higher prices, and unions are inherently evil, cui bono? [Who benefits?] And why would they lie about it?

What you mean is "the majority of other big box stores pay as little as they do", because WalMart is the largest employer. They set the standards that others follow. There are those who bash them because it's "the cool thing to do", but I am more likely to stop doing something that 'everyone'...

Grasshopper: what you were carrying is a hot property, in the drug [legal] world. An antibiotic that may work against drug resistant bacteria is one of the Holy Grails of pharma research. The overuse of antibiotics has caused bacteria to develop defenses against nearly every antibiotic in...

Re: Happy Birthday JuJubeans I think you are a "big dill" when it's your birthday! [And thanks for not killing your other half - we sometimes like having him around. ;)]

It's a reindeer, goober. And don't be crude - because Moot's not the only one who can be sneaky with a bumpersticker, and I found one that asks "Have you hugged your pickle today"? ;)

Mr Pilgrim's account of Ferguson is every bit as "factually inaccurate by omission" as any he singles out for ridicule, because he leaves some important [contextual] details out as well. History, being written by the victors, has been especially 'kind' to the white Europeans who founded the...

I LOVE those candles - they even smell wonderful!

If WalMart treated [and paid] "Associates" halfway decently, they wouldn't want a union. But if they needed [and got] a union, they wouldn't need food stamps to feed their kids. They won't get one though - when the meatcutters voted to join a union, WalMart fired them, and contracted the jobs...

Re: Former Arrow Trucking CEO Arrested In Dallas The Fashion Police got him, looks like. ;)

For those who don't have a dog handy, singing "Let it go" [from Frozen] is a great stress reducer too. [If you sing like me, you need to keep the windows up, so as not to cause stress for passersby, lol] ;)
