I cannot believe that over three months have passed since I last posted but the CMS does not lie – my last post was on March 19th. I believe this is the longest gap between posts ever for this blog. Historically April has been the cruelest month<\/a> for my posts – in the nine Aprils that have occurred since WGTCTIP2 has been live I haven’t posted during three of them. May however is a month that I’ve never forgotten about – previously whatever funk I was in during the month of April would dissipate like April showers and posts would then bloom like the May flowers of the rhyme I’m referencing. So, while my “no post” April was not an anomaly the “no post” May definitely was and I’m hopeful that this long of a gap never occurs again. With all of that being said, hello again!
\nWhat has been happening since I last wrote? A lot – some good though most of it bad. What has been bad? How about the direction that this country is headed in for starters…
\nIf you aren’t one of the lucky people in this country who own their own business, you are a worker, just like me. Yesterday, the SCOTUS (the acronym stands for “Supreme Court of the United States” but it always looks like scrotum to me) decided to restrict class action law suits in general raised by workers when they dismissed a pending discrimination case against Wal-Mart.<\/a> Not good.
\nI’m not a socialist. I believe in capitalism and a free market. That being said, Wal-Mart abuses our system and not just by using its size to defeat smaller mom & pop stores. Wal-Mart actually hurts you and me even if we do not shop there. They pay so low we subsidize their employees’ health insurance – they do not let people work full time for that reason and they even show people how to apply for welfare. For a company that in the last 12 months had $16.5 billion in net income.
\nStay tuned for many more posts in the short term – all is not right in the state of our Union and I will be pulling back the curtain to shed some light on what I believe needs to be voiced. I won’t go gentle into that good night. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
