Don't Hold Your Breath II





Your job wasn't shipped overseas; you were replaced by a microchip: one that doesn't require benefits or overtime, one that doesn't get sick or have to care for a sick child or dying parent. But most important, it allows your CEO to collect an even more obscene salary and bigger bonus because of the money saved replacing  you.  Now you've been suckered into electing a President who is the most rapacious of CEOs.  Good luck.

First Family-Elect Squabble Over Inaugural Ball

Melania wants a 'Beauty and the Beast' theme, while Donald insists on a 'Lion King' one.

Don't Hold Your Breath

Jobs didn't leave merely because of trade agreements; they went overseas because of corporate greed and the evermore rapacious quest for profits. And for some reason you have elected as your president, a high priest of greed and one of its most rapacious profiteers.

Mammoth – The man who died in a Yellowstone hot spring last summer was apparently looking for a place to “hot-pot” in the park. Yellowstone officials recently released the final report on the accident, following a Freedom of Information Act request. The victim’s sister recorded the incident on her cell phone.
The accident happened in Norris Geyser basin on the afternoon of June 7. Deputy Chief Ranger Lorant Veress says it is a very dangerous area with boiling acidic waters.
Veress explained, “There’s a closure in place to keep people from doing that for their own safety and also to protect the resources because they are very fragile.  But, most importantly for the safety of people because it’s a very unforgiving environment.”
But, according to the official incident report released  by the National Park Service, 23-year old Colin Nathaniel Scott of Portland, Oregon, and his sister Sable Scott left the boardwalk near Pork Chop Geyser, then walked several hundred feet up a hill.
Veress said,  “… they were specifically moving in that area for a place that they could potentially get into and soak. I think they call it Hot Potting.”
