This is why I always glare at the TV when (conservative, scumbag) executives go on and on about how many people they heroically employ. They employ as many as they do because they're all pulling a "Walmart" (or McDonalds) and hiring more and more entry level part-timers so they can avoid benefits as much as possible.…

I've heard of this type of this before, in fact when I was using and frequenting the local needle exchange, every so often there would be a letter put up on…

Who says they don't?
