Did I mention that I own a SMALL business? As well as being a CEO, I am a pilot, aviation mechanic, truck driver, network administrator, and everything else that my business needs, whenever it needs me, which is most of the time.
How many hours a day do you sleep?
IF you work as hard as I do, and you’re willing to do it for me, please, let me know, because I can probably find a way to hire you, with or without a tax cut.
How the FUCK do find time to post on here so much then?
Sniff, sniff… I smell bullshit!

I knew someone was going to ask me that.
Right now, I am waiting for a call. There is a lapse in business, which is ANNOYING THE PISS OUT OF ME!
Normally, I find time, every couple of days or so, or whenever I’m at a hotel or terminal with Internet access. That’s why I have a different IP address every time. I flip around the message boards while paying bills, reading email, and all of that crap. Multitasking, as we used to call it…it must be the lesbian in me!
And if you don’t get that joke, you’re probably not a lesbian…
Morella:
Nope. I don’t know much about the practical end of the medical business, and you’re comparing apples to oranges anyway, so I’m not going to respond to that stupid comment.
Geez, and to think, someone accused ME of making strawman arguments? I didn’t say that anyone should do their job while under the influence.
So are you saying that pilots shouldn’t fly while drunk or stoned? You lost me.
You very clearly pointed out that, “Not ONE aviation accident, in any airline, has ever been proven to have been caused by illegal drug use.”
But then you don’t think there should be drug testing.
I have to be to the hospital in two hours, do I need to sober up or not?

Of course they shouldn’t, and most of them don’t. What I’m saying is that the government shouldn’t be forcing us to spend billions of dollars to test their urine to see what they’re doing on their days off, because that doesn’t affect air safety.
You very clearly pointed out that, “Not ONE aviation accident, in any airline, has ever been proven to have been caused by illegal drug use.”
Yes.
Exactly, just as we should not spend money testing to see whether or not they have consumed escargots, or lasagna. What is your point?
For curiosity’s sake, where would one go to learn exactly how much money has actually been spent on drug testing?
Morella:
What is your point?
I was hoping to go to work drunk and/or stoned. And my plan was to use your “Not ONE aviation accident, in any airline, has ever been proven to have been caused by illegal drug use” as my justification.

And, for the smartass who is bound to ask, yes, I do have ATP, A&P, CDL, and Comptia Network+.
Now, for those of you who think that you work harder than I do, I have to ask:
How many hours a day do you sleep?
IF you work as hard as I do, and you’re willing to do it for me, please, let me know, because I can probably find a way to hire you, with or without a tax cut.
WTF is the point of living your life like that? I hope you don’t have kids.
But you would still hire new employees, if only you got a tax cut!
Specifically, a continuation of the current marginal rate above $250K, that is. IOW, in his dreams.
Morella , the corporate types running your party behind the scenes are misleading and using you. Too bad you’re too dense to get it.

Also, I think this explains why Morella is so angry.
(Assuming half of it is true, which, uh, I’m kind of doubting.)

The point is to make money and be successful. Why is that a problem?

How is anyone using me?
That’s funny. Working hard won’t make you angry. It will make you happy! Try it sometime.

Fear not, Moperator. It’s been a rather nasty day off, I’ve had to do things that I don’t normally do, like sleep and eat, but it looks like I am going to have the pleasure of working all night, and so I can’t complain.
And, yes, I would like to have more employees, and more equipment, spread out over the US and Canada…maybe the world, someday. My business depends on being in the right place at the right time to catch loads.
Quoting Lao Tzu to support compulsive ambition as a virtue is like quotiing Ayn Rand on a Christmas card.

“Not one aviation accident, in any airline, has ever been proven to have been caused by illegal drug use” does not imply that “pilots use drugs”, or that “pilots should use drugs”. How are you getting to that conclusion?

Not fitting the narrative
Here’s an interesting story about those socially conservative Tea Party lunatics
Meh, teasing out what parts of Morella’s posts are true and what parts are designed to get a rise out of people is a quest with no reward.
Though I am still waiting for Starving Artist to name a tea-partier he likes.
He explained elsewhere that he doesn’t like any of them.
