O. T. Mentality of Hillbillies
Mentality of Hillbillies
As one Republican lawmaker told Novak, GOP leaders champion an “anti- union attitude that appeals to the mentality of hillbillies at revival meetings.” The hostility, while disgusting, is unsurprising. Unions wield power for workers, meaning they present an obstacle to Republican corporate donors, who want to put profit-making over other societal priorities. Millwright Ron www.unionmillwright.com |

If you are talking about indigenous people, most people over here that work their asses off are not bright enough to have their own business - that's why they are working their asses off. One of the major problems in being in business in Asia is that all the bright young sparks are looking to have their own business. As soon as you get a good guy trained he quits and starts up in competition with you. And, no I wasn't lucky, except perhaps to have made the decision to move to Asia. It sounds like bragging but I'm damned good at what I do. Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |
