So for those who say they can’t make it work I say bullshit. It’s not a comfortable lifestyle and if you want to make a nice living you have to work hard and progress from there. The problem is exactly what is stated above, people are freakin lazy and want shit handed to them. My wife did the same but the again my rent back then was only 325 a month and gas was under a dollar a gallon. So I would say we had it easier. As for me I took all your tax money and had the army train me now I have a great job they even do tuition assistance up to 10k a year. No union needed. Did I mention I work for a Japanese company? Now that’s funny LoL! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hostess-out-of-business-18-500-jobs-to-be-lost/265503)._
