  • You won't have to worry about them hiring illegals, they'll just ship the whole job over seas or south of the border. We're fucked.

  • The first thing I would do is move as far away from New York as I could afford.

  • @Mrbrianjohnson951 I've been betting sports for about 15 years along with working at my job and then when my boss lost the business, I tried looking for other work and couldn't find anything so I have something to fall back onto. Yeah, I know how you feel. I heard some good news this morning. Economists are forecasting a good 2012. I will very likely vote for President Obama again based on what he inherited from Bush. I have ZERO faith in the Republicans right now.

  • @preving

    I am nothing against you betting on sport games. It just that it cannot last so long since most of the people will ran out of money just to survived in this lousy economy that we are having.

  • @Mrbrianjohnson951 Why do you feel sorry for me, Brian? I'm pretty happy with what I'm doing. I make some pretty big money betting on sports games.

  • @preving

    I feel sorry for you. You hit the pavement to find a job only you find out that there is no job out there.
