Fair Hours! (http://twitchy.com/2013/03/28/reality-bites-back-dudes-of-juicy-couture-left-shocked-obamacare-is-costing-them-work-hours/)
How dare you respond to the new incentives in a rational manner and only hire part time workers! Its not Fair! (TM) You have to hire me for enough hours so I can earn a living ! I want a Real Live Unicorn!
Actually, we thought we would spread the hours, and therefore the wealth around a bit. See, that is more "fair"....
Who is John Galt. He is Rational Behavior in response asinine incentives. Oh, and we told you so, morons.
You can't have A REAL LIVE UNICORN (tm) BECAUSE THEY DON'T EXIST. Tard.
You can't get something for nothing - unless you steal it, and not everyone is willing to work hard and then let you steal from them.
I can't wait till these people are starving in the streets so I can kick them in the nuts while they are down.

John Galt captured in pictures (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-04-22/guest-post-decline-self-employment-and-small-business)
Note the incorporated self-employed is rising- because they are substantial tax benefits to be gained from being a C-corporation.
People ARE changing their behavior to avoid Taxes. Hausers Law will continue to apply, and liberals will whine even more about "wreckers" and "tax-dodgers" - evil 1% who in truth make less than 100K a year, but use a C-corporation to make themselves two people - each "making" 40K or so - and therefore reducing their tax burden..The vast majority of taxes are collected from people earning between $50-75K- which is exactly the segment that benefits most from C-Corp status - because a great many of your work expenses are now deductible from your "profit" as an individual - Your C Corp pays you a salary that you determine, and your C-crop only pays tax on its profits.
Where do YOU want to be on this curve? (http://politicalcalculations.blogspot.com/2013/04/who-really-isnt-paying-their-fair-share.html#.UXV7x7WG1CY) Think about it.

Well you know the answer to this is....more laws!

They deserve nothing and damn well better like it or change who the lawmakers are, because the more they squeeze the more they accelerate the exodus and hasten the crash. And we know damn well they'll introduce more BS...a series of anti-capitalist bills followed by Order 66 isn't far off now....
Screw 'em, like I care!
And the scavengers are going full bore after the weak knowing their window of opportunity is now...until the next phase serves up the next meal of roadkill...ObamaAmerica is just so fricken swell!

Suck at the public teat?
Draw SS as long as it lasts and get my little part time consulting business going
Job has sucked all it can from me.
I was called in to the office today.
My bullsh*t tolerance has been decreasing.
Wife is freaking a little

Sorry and congratulations. I feel for your wife, but I figure she knows you'll get y'all through it okay.

Congrats. It will work out, but it also means living less high on the hog. Some wives will deal with that better than others. Just remind her that on the right entitlement programs some folks pull down the equivalent of a 60K salary in take home. Hopefully you paid down debt and refinanced any mortgage to the 3% rates. You may also want to consider getting divorced so you both look even poorer to the public trough. . and make sure you do a C-Corp when you start consulting. Its more paperwork, but worht it because you look like both a crony and a poor indentured sap employee at the same time.
This choice is going to come to all of us eventually. The recession is hitting businesses, so they demand more from each employee rather than pay the costs of hiring another. Meanwhile the Fed takes more from you in terms of taxes while insulting you with every policy and word. Everyone's BS tolerance is decreasing. As some point, you just walk off the job.
However, you probably shouldn't have given notice. In all likelihood our careers ( such as they have been ) are over, and we are at the last (salaried) job we will hold. You should have just not gone in, and counted the number of paychecks that kept coming. It would probably take them 3 months to accumulate enough evidence to fire you.
My buddy worked for a State Government and had 3 people in his group. One didn't show up 80% of the time. The 20% of the time he was there, he ran a business on the side and watched YouTube videos. So the other two were asked to cover his shifts. No, he wasn't fired. It was just too damn hard to fire him. Eventually a layoff came up, and of course the useless third was the headcount lost - but he wasn't fired, so he still gets his 99 weeks of unemployment.
Gaming the system and acting immorally has now got to be our mode of operation. After all you are either a looter or a sucker. Honest Man isn't an option. Yes, everyone acting that way will bring down the system, but that is the point. Let it Burn.

She's on the inside as far as the public teat.
She works for Community Action.
Fortunately our needs are modest.
After the last pay cut I only need to make about $1500-$1800/month with SS to be equal
And maybe I can stop going to bed at 5 AM with 2 phones 6" from my ear in the recliner or on the couch
And possibly even feel human sometimes

I wish you the best AP. I'm sure it was both a relief and a step off the ledge all wrapped in one. Sending up a little prayer for peace and confidence for you and Mrs. AP.
-
For sure.
-
Thank you for the prayers.
I've done this before
That's why I'm calm and she's freaking out
She is concerned about the "steady" money

"My bullsh*t tolerance has been decreasing."
That!
I swear my BS meter is easier to rock with each passing minute!
I'm surrounded by libiots at work, I have to commute into the heart of Keith Ellison's district, the daily grind with Obama sprinkles et al on top... ::gaah::
I wish you and your family the best AP! I know you will do allright!
And I'm not too far behind ya... ;)
::thumbsup::

Good luck, Libertas.
If I can help in any way let me know.
I'm fairly good at starting businesses.
I suck at running them.
I have contended for some time that the Industrial Age model has been gone for some time (or at least dying).
Provided we don't succeed in committing political suicide, the answer for America is in entrepreneurship, cottage industry and true small business.
Everyone an entrepreneur.
Change in education would be one of the first necessities.

As far as bullsh*t tolerance, my employer wants to double down today, it seems.
When I answer his "question" he changes it.
F**k him.
And the horse he rode in on

Sounds like a real Jekyl & Hyde outfit...I hate those!
I might end up being a freelance horsesh*t management specialist up at the lake, but I really don't care much anymore, being in these cities and surrounded by so many morons is taxing...I hope I can have time (like until next summer) to retire some small debts and shed most of my belongings before I make the move, but when push comes to shove I'll let the system KMA. The fun has yet to begin. At least I'm single, less worry for me.

Maintain yourself outside a stithole city for a year and you'll never go back.
Except, maybe, reluctantly, to visit a specialist. That is the one thing they excel at, an abundance of over qualified specialists, really. When you want a doctor for example, that type A personality that graduated in the top of his class is not in the sticks, he's in Megalopolis.

Walk out. Don't return.

Not necessarily. Once you get into a rural area, there usually just enough demand for one doctor. One Barber. One Mechanic and a lot of people would prefer at some point to get out of the city. ( I can't remember a time in my life when I haven't really) Its entirely possible the current holder of that position has had to defeat many rivals. One of the best Barbers I have ever encountered was near the Teotwawki place. He looked and felt our hair and was telling us the things we usually have to tell the barber in order to get it cut right. Why does he do business in that little town? Because he Can. There is a saying in Colorado -"If you are lucky enough to live in the mountains, then you are lucky enough." The mechanics in rural areas have to deal with many more older vehicles and yes, that has made them better mechanics. The super specialists are in the city, because that is the only place there is enough Demand for their specialized services. However, there is no reason to believe a general practitioner to be crap if he happens to be the local country doctor. The younger ones are probably there because they took a grant to pay for school in return for being the Doctor somewhere rural - so they are inexperienced but not necessarily bad. The older ones probably decided that was where they wanted to be. They weren't necessarily pushed out to the sticks. IN fact, its unlikely. IN a small place, word gets around. If a Doctor (or any other tradesman) is no good, word gets around. Bad doctors almost always have to practice in the City- because its the only place where word won't get round as easily. Country folk expect results, not excuses.

I was shopping for land west of Cotopaxi and asked the rep about medical facilities. He responded that he and his wife discovered the longer you live there the less you needed it.
The statistical probability of one securing a class A graduate top of his class MD for his physician is extremely higher in Megalopolis.

Cotopaxi Ecuador or Colorado?
