I'm too old to list all the jobs I've had, which no one would wish to read anyway. I will just say that I was in management positions with John Deere, Navistar(20 years till retirement), Gulf Oil, Commonwealth Coal of Kentucky, Montgomery Wards and a few others not nationally known. I loved the coal industry and the equipment industry the best. The customer's were the best and only wanted their equipment to operate daily. Very little lying or cheating. Now consumer sales sucked as customers were always lying. JMO

Lots and lots of it, too. I figure, people who don't have to, have been living off the govt for decades, and it's been me that's been paying for it. It's my time now. Mortgage? Paid for by the govt.

We just need a Good Ole War and a draft system in place to put all these lowlife thugs back to work with a rifle in their hand. Give them something to do that they’re pretty good at, mucking it up.

This was such a nice thread. @CoinJockey73 is clearly tongue in cheek and clearly in bad taste. And yes @Coinscratch that was uncalled for. And @Oldhoopster I don't know what to say.
Can you all cool your jets so we can get this very nice discussion back on track without your dog whistle politics and knee-jerk overreactions?

Not on this forum, but on a facebook post, a person that I knew badmouthed his boss but the status of the post was public. Someone (not me) sent the post to the manager, that person is no longer working at the company. We were sent a new training a few months later on Social Media Etiquette (and what you could be fired for)
