    Nope, the mods will tamp it down. I hope. Let it go for awhile. Not flaming, don't mean to be. If I am out of line pm me, and I will settle down.

    Very opinionated, I just don't show it since I hate to type. Lots of people lost their jobs in an instant and I get angry.

    Dude, I got nothing to say. You seem like a nice enough fella. It's just when folks (on either side) start throwing names around, the mods get grumpy.. Just be mindful

    100 percent paid for a family is worth a lot of money even with a crap insurance policy. So that alone if the others do not do it would make up for that lower pay.

    Not picking on you, just blowing off steam. I know what you are trying to say and I get it. If I could type well I would have been banned a long time ago. Feel very passionate about people losing their jobs over mis-management.

    I buy insurance from marketplace. $1k per month with $16k deductible for a family of 4. Definitely a good amount per year, especially if one of the family members is not in good health

    Clean up on aisle 4.

    Now let’s everyone take your advice to heart now that we’ve blown off steam.

    I think some of that comes from seeing a day cab driver on an on ramp napping because he can’t finish too soon and make somebody look bad. And seeing the same truck every day. I’ve been a Teamster and in the IFCW out of Buffalo, and tore up cards for both decades ago and I’m doing fine I’ve got employer provided healthcare and a good wage with the hassle.
