i hope a revolution starts in the mid-west…..stock up on canned foods and ammo baby…..Viva la revolution…..here in Brooklyn NY i am just waiting to incite a riot!! LOL
What I reckon should happen with the banks is NOTHING, let the smaller successful banks rise up and the losers crash.
There should be bailout for NOBODY.
America should live within our means that means spending less than what’s collected in taxes.
It's really extremely simple! You will need a excellent CV though (maybe question a parent/teacher/job agency person for help and look online for tips and layout plans) and a positive attitude. The person you hand your CV over to will likely pass their opinion on to their manager, so make sure you make a excellent impression on them first! Walk up to them in a confident manner, like you KNOW you belong there, with a friendly smile on your face. Make sure to look at their face, not the floor or the wall, and say something along the lines of;
"Hi there, I'm interested in applying for the sales assistant role you have advertised in your window. Here's a copy of my CV, if you could pass it on for me?" Hand over the CV (in an envelope, with a covering letter), thank them, smile again and say goodbye. Works about 50% of the time if you get it right!!
Excellent luck!
Again more excellent info.
Once suggestion, I know in light of the current situation, maybe it would be very excellent to try to uplift the mood of the people with something they can do to continue with their lives despite all the terrible news in the world.
Keep up the excellent work.
This country is already on the verge this is going to cause unemployment to explode this is going to ruin the midwest. Allowing the automakers to go down now is just to risky this in two months when both Auto makers go down it is going to be news on every major news stations and it’s going to affect the markets negatively even the world Market. This is going to collapse towns thru out the midwest I just hope it doesn’t bring the country down as well.
well said.
you got some die hard facts keep up the excellent work I am gald there are still smart people putting stuff on you tube.
I trust you don’t want them to go out for excellent right.
what? they gave them all them billions and they still gonna file? sounds like con job to me. no one can go through that much money that quick. took the money and ran.
I will not buy another GM or Chrysler vehicle ever again. I hope both companies dissolve. It is ridiculous that the companies are held over a barrel to the point that they have to surrender this company to a bunch of fucking slugs.
BlackMask2012 That’s what the greedy employees AND their company get for not thinking? And you call yourself American saying that people is going to lose everything it’s not going just to affect them but you to this isn’t walmart or some small company and if you reckon it’s a excellent thing for manufacturing to take a blow like this your mistaken. I bet you would have no problem bailing out those bankers that has been screwing this country for the last 20 years now and continuing to screw us.
