> [@turbociv](#): > > didnt unemplyment get extended to a year? and i assuming that once houses go into foreclosure and they lose there cars and way of living they will start to see reality. your unemplyment has to run out before the end of march to get the extended 6 months … yes once they can suck up there pride and go to BK or Mcd and get a fucking job for 7.50 hr I Can see most people letting the bank take there house before they do that and its sad ---

There is actually only about 30 seconds of welding on this job, the rest is drilling and bending! I am pissed and more importantly so is my customer. I hate getting excuses, just tell me you can’t do it, don’t string me along when I could have searched for another vendor 2 or 3 weeks ago! ---

Probably couldn’t find welders to work for them because of fucking $9/hr. Rather flip burgers and make more than bust my ass off for 9/hr.
