If I had it to do all over again, I sure wouldn't be in manufacturing! I
see a number of friends that have cushy Government jobs making 5 times what
I make and they are ready to retire in their 50s. Only a fool fights the
battles I do and get so little appreciation or even understanding that I'm
looking out for peoples' best interests.


Yeah, but YOU can sleep at night and have built up GOOD karma.

I'm tired, my feet hurt and my fingers are numb. I've traded my health for
business ownership! I'll eventually sell the firm and have just enough for
health care and a good Irish funeral!


Irish funeral? Is that where they cremate the body in Scotch whiskey?


I could have joined some union and spent all my time figuring out how to cheat
and steal from my boss!


Yeah, and end up with MW Ron's karma? Not on your life!
