May 9th Prediction: Obama or Romney?

[Barrister]

What's wrong with good old-fashioned enumerators going door to door to create the voting list

You mean, other than the fact that I'm not likely to be home when they show up to register me?

They come in the evening, and they leave a card if you're not there.

Oh, great. Then I have to call them back, try to get a hold of someone and set another appointment. 

I'd prefer if we had a system where I can just check a box to register to vote when I get my driver's license.  OH WAIT, WE ALREADY HAVE THAT

Well up here the alternative is you can show up with picture ID, swear a declaration, and be given a ballot - even if you're not on the list.

Oh, bullshit.  Every company, once it figures out it can reduce its workforce and still see productivity, doesn't expand unless absolutely necessary.  Get rid of 15,000 jobs, and still see results? PROFIT!

Why don't more clever CEOs reduce their workforce to zero?

You must have missed the bolded part of the post.

I did not.  The bolded part and the part that precedes it are the crux of my response.

Can you see productivity with zero workforce?

A lot of states have same-day registration as well.

Can you see productivity with zero workforce?

Of course not.  But Seedy apparently can.

Hey, jobs shipped to China = zero American workforce.


And after posting an increase from 1Q2012 to 2Q2012, HP has no problem jettisoning 27,000 jobs to save $3.5 billyuns to increase shareholder value.

But I'm sure the irony of the layoffs announcement the same week as the $50,000-a-plate fundraiser for Mittens by HP CEO and fellow former Bain Capital co-worker Meg Whitman was just an extra special treat for your GOP jizz-stained shorts.

I should fucking hope so. If a company I owned shares in was paying 3.5 billion a year just to keep people on payroll I would want the CEO's head on a spike.

You know, if you want to live in a country that believes in make-work jobs for everyone, the lefty populist party looks set to win the election in Mexico.  And you'd have no problem passing.

Then don't give me any shit about the private sector contracting for value, when it's precisely what they do.  Ergo, don't bitch about the fucking jobs.  Oh wait, you're not.  Lack of jobs is good for Mittens.

But I don't even look Mexican.

I've never given you any shit about "the private sector contracting for value" and I never will, because it's one of those Mother Jones sound bytes that you think sounds really cool when you read it but which doesn't mean anything.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.  It's all about tax cuts and killing unions and getting the nigger out.  Save it for Tampa, Yibagger.

What if you were the employee?

I didn't get that from his post.  How did you come to that conclusion from what he wrote in that post?

[Admiral Yi]

Oh no, clearly not.  It's all about the private sector contracting for value.

I'm not talking to you anymore today.

[Razgovory]

Now, now.  That's rude.  Don't make me put you on the list.
