Without stealing a thing, and doing my job just EXACTLY how they outlined it, I found that I could turn off customers in droves. <br />Accidental mishandling of incoming merchandise could somehow send the volume of garbage being produced at the store to rise.<br />Mis matched shoes never sell, but can be made to look nice an orderly. <br />And all that texting when not supervised.... what a waste of time!<br />If every Kmart employee were as diligent as I the place would go bankrupt..... again..........hmmmm.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775739590567135420.post-15630145742606281422009-12-04T23:34:47.469-05:002009-12-04T23:34:47.469-05:00Hi Spectre,

I especially found www.financemymoney.com an excellent piece. 10% of our work force is in manufacturing. $900 billion of credit card debt is still outstanding. It does not look good for the future. Also, these GDP numbers are fabricated. GDP is actually around 2% when you consider that Wall Street manipulations are factored into GDP, as well as foreign components brought to the US for assembly is also factored in. It is all a smoke screen for the reality that GDP is grim. <br /><br />jerrymuralsignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07892531198621839798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775739590567135420.post-83521498292918937792009-12-03T11:03:07.823-05:002009-12-03T11:03:07.823-05:00Jerry, Here's one of the good guys...Elizebeth...Jerry, Here's one of the good guys...Elizebeth Warren...writing about the disapearing middle class:<br /><br /><b>Elizabeth Warren.Chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel created to oversee the banking bailouts</b><br />Posted: December 3, 2009 10:00 AM <br /><br /><b>America Without a Middle Class</b><br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/elizabeth-warren/america-without-a-middle_b_377829.htmlSPECTRE of Deflationnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775739590567135420.post-37937460883890576492009-12-03T09:57:48.094-05:002009-12-03T09:57:48.094-05:00Jerry, the thieves must be crying in their coffee ...Jerry, the thieves must be crying in their coffee or booze this AM:<br /><br />Climategate: It's All Unravelling Now<br />by James Delingpole<br /><br />http://www.lewrockwell.com/spl/climategate-unravelling.htmlSPECTRE of Deflationnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775739590567135420.post-1224520062923361382009-12-03T09:54:06.920-05:002009-12-03T09:54:06.920-05:00The Corporatocracy: A New Economic System for the ...The Corporatocracy: A New Economic System for the Connected Banking Sector and Political Elites.

"When you lose everything, and have nothing left to lose, you lose it". One of my favorite Celente quotes and truer than the day is long. I find it somewhat funny that they believe a pistol will hold off the angry mob. These are people who know jack shit on weapons or how to use them, and I guess they believe they can hold off a pissed off crowd that is using long guns against their pistols. It comes pretty close to bringing a knife to a gunfight.<br /><br />In 1873 the angry mob needed no guns to kill the bankers. They simply dragged their sorry asses out of the office, and hung them from a light post.

This would allow corporate executives to legally hold weapons, be given a secret phone number to receive instructions, and allowed to shoot to kill citizens that might be attempting to enter their corporation or company if given the go-ahead by our government. <br /><br />Trouble is brewing in River City!<br /><br />jerrymuralsignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07892531198621839798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775739590567135420.post-45308240243348187382009-12-02T15:25:08.149-05:002009-12-02T15:25:08.149-05:00Rory, good to hear from you again.

Kunstler is an interesting writer, and also enjoy his pieces. The concept of New Urbanism is essential for all countries to become stronger economically. Unfortunately, I really don't see it happening except for individual communities that resist the corporate royalists.<br /><br />ZM, thanks for making a comment. You see how we can have differing opinions, but as people there are many points we do agree on.<br /><br />I, too, agree that insurance is the problem. We may differ on the solutions. My position would be to do away with the array of health insurance plans, and put everyone on one plan. Now, if one wants to buy additional coverage, as Canadians can do, then let those with the ability to buy more coverage, or speedier coverage.<br /><br />Spectre, thanks for the Bernie Sanders Youtube. Bernanke is a traitor. That is clear. The Fed is traitorous entity working against the best interests of the very citizens who pay taxes and feed the Fed cash. <br /><br />What we continue to see is Obama continuing to support this financial crime syndicate field marshall<br />and insist that the Fed continues with business-as-usual. <br /><br />jerrymuralsignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07892531198621839798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775739590567135420.post-73870785436268873972009-12-01T12:15:05.796-05:002009-12-01T12:15:05.796-05:00Jerry,

I think the real problem is INSURANCE which causes the price to become insanely high and that adding government INSURANCE will only make the problem worse, you are spot on in your analysis of how the American people are being gamed by the politicians who are sworn to protect them.<br /><br />Everyone should buy products that are only made in America. With the internet it's not that hard to do you just have to be willing to pay a little more. In exchange you will be supporting your American brothers while getting a product which in most cases will last longer than a cheap Chinese piece of Walmart junk.<br /><br />Just google search made in America. Almost anything you want can be found this way.<br /><br />ZMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775739590567135420.post-24455829238235919822009-12-01T11:46:47.893-05:002009-12-01T11:46:47.893-05:00Good post Jerry,
