They picketed after hours to protest Verizon asking for way to many give backs…but we still went to work every day. I hate that the bulk of the kids out there thinks the world owes them a living. That people would rather sit on their fat asses collecting unemployment and welfare that I have to pay for than go get that job at McDonalds making $8 hr flipping burgers. The world needs ditch diggers too. Sorry that you can’t live on $25-30k…time to lower your standards and live within your means. My facts were straight, I said I hate driving by the Verizon on central ave. seeing them picketing… That’s a fact. Also you saying they picket after hours **isn’t** a fact. When I drive by and there’s a huge fucking inflatable rat on the side of the road with people holding up signs during the day, I’m pretty sure the Verizon stores open. I’m with you on your other thoughts though. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hostess-out-of-business-18-500-jobs-to-be-lost/265503)._
