I'm sorry to hear that. I can relate somewhat. This was the first year I had to work on Thanksgiving day. Was a time when everything was closed on those holidays. Took the air out of that holiday at my house.

I like this turn of phrase....'lazification of America causes some folks to work real damn hard'. Gets at the complicated nature of our country.

I can make you this promise: I will never order another GI Joe with kung-fu grip online. I'll go to 'Toys R Us' and...oh wait. They're gone...

Take care and salvage what you can of the Christmas spirit....

It's all good! I've worked my share of holidays too. I just hate seeing her so worn out. Those postal workers, the ones in the background, not the slug you see at the counter bust their asses! If she hangs in there, and plays her cards right, she might jus work her way up to a slug position.


Maybe one day, you can walk into the Post Office to collect your GI Joe, or 6 Million Dollar Man action figure, and be greeted by a sweet, efficient little blonde headed ray of sunshine!
Hope is eternal!
Merry Christmas WCS!!

Looks like thes Democrats know as much on how the economy works as they do about everything else. But no one is going to tell them as it would be a waste of time. But for all with the sense God gave a piss ant how many times has the Federal Reserve raised interest rates in the last year? I swear you buy them books, send them to school and for what? Still haven't a clue on basic economy.

Look ass clowns obama did absolutely nothing for America, it's people or or allies. He was a traitor and so was his administration. From holder running guns with obama's approval to hillarys covering her pay to play criminal gun running to Syria. Democrats get played like a used fiddle their whole lives. On their death bed they are still clueless. One word, California.Not enough? Then here's 10 more 10, Detroit, Oakland, St Louis, Memphis, Stockton, Birmingham, Baltimore, Cleveland, Atlanta, Milwaukee. Still completely clueless scratching your ass and biting our fingernails. The reason this infection doesn't die out is food stamps. Democrats would have all starved by now if it were not for food stamps.

As the stock market continues its Trump slide toward the worst performance since the Great Recession, Obama’s stock market performance is now twice as good as Trump‘s.
The Washington Post reported a statistic that has Trump scared:

Before the market downturn, Trump would take prepared remarks and add comments about the economy, officials say. But lately, he has tweeted less about the economy.

The Dow’s performance since Trump took office is now significantly less than what was achieved at the same point in Barack Obama’s presidency. The Dow is up 18 percent under Trump, compared with 45 percent at this point under Obama, according to Bespoke Investments.
Trump has repeatedly faulted the Federal Reserve for the market slide. But on Wall Street, many say Trump’s recent actions are also to blame.

Except for complaining about the Fed, Trump has largely gone silent on the economy. His days of bragging about and taking credit for the stock market are long gone. It now seems like everytime Trump opens his mouth, he says something else that causes the market to tumble. Trump started a trade war then oversold his trade war truce with China. Trump bragged that he would be proud to shut down the government, and then he did shut down the government. All of these events were Trump created, and they sent markets plunging.
Trump is just above the historical average for presidents at this point in their terms of 15.5%, and he is plunging fast toward the Republican presidential average of 11%.

Wall Street has lost confidence in Trump and each more erratic move that Trump makes only worsens the crisis. A recession is looming, and no one has confidence that Trump will be able to deal with it.
Wall Street has finally caught up with the rest of the country in that they miss the steady, competent, and intelligent leadership of Barack Obama.
