No Job Outrage

john belushiNoJobSurvivor.com is meant to be uplifting but occasionally something big or small, is so wrong it just makes us lose it.

sea elephants on beachForget the "piggies at the trough" analogy for wall street, think 8000 pound bull sea elephant getting fatter and fatter to attract a larger and larger herd of cows. Bull seals put on flab for competitive reasons: the bigger the bull, the greater its chances of thrashing other males on the beach to win a harem of cows.

AIG Building Front The US government is about to give AIG $30 BILLION more of your tax dollars. This is on top of the $150 billion they've already received.

You're unemployed, and maybe you've had to move in with friends or family, or maybe you lost your home, or have been made bankrupt by COBRA.  One of the reasons these situations occur is because of gluttonous the fat cats and capitalist pigs that run AIG (into the ground). Now, out of your pocket comes an additional handout to men and women who are having fancy drinks in swanky hotels, elaborate parties and conventions, plus all the best healthcare they can get -- at your expense.

Minimum Wage

Workers in BMW's auto plants in Germany make twice as much as US workers in BMW plants who make $15 an hour. Oh and by the way German workers get 35 days of vacation AND decent healthcare.

And why does Germany's Manufacturers do so well?
