they're one of the two boys whose births I was present at, or one of my
nieces or nephews who I've watched grow up. Furthermore, if I want to
sell to the government, or to a government supplier, _I_ have to be the
asshole that sends my employees off to drug testing and then fires them
if they don't pass. So it's not just "those damn liberals" that put
this burden on me.
So are you saying the government that found a right to privacy covering abortion, requires
blood lead level tests to be sent to the state in my state, doesn't think my body and its
fluids are covered by that same right to privacy?
I *thought* OSHA regs cut in a something like= 7 employees. Of course all the other
crap I have no idea at all. What is your workmans comp rate for one employee? Then you
have to pay futa and suta.
I scratched the surface of this enough to know how many forms I had to
fill out, and I stopped thinking about expanding.
I worked for a company that had to provide this info on 9
track tape because we had too many employees. We had internet, we had 4MM dat, CDROM and
8 mm Dat at the time. Can't upload by modem or website, gotta burn a 1600 BPI tape. So I
had a very lightly used tape drive with a dedicated pc that I cut tapes every quarter on.
So Tim, are you becoming a smaller government advocate?
No, I'm not becoming one -- I never stopped being one.
I'm just not a "give the country to the corporations" advocate, like
Bush, Cheney & Palin. Nor am I a "give the country to the unions"
advocate like the Democrats.
I've said this before, we had the Pentagon ready to occupy in 11 months and finished in 17
months during a war. We couldn't do it now. Too may lawsuits, enviromental impact
statements, union hold ups, regulatory battles.
Yup.
