#1 "It sucks when you can’t talk to no one," Heaven told the Washington Post.

The gov't doesn't care about your ability to converse with fellow workers. The employer pays the withholding taxes. The Unions pay the gov't, and the wheels of the State/Fed tax and Social Security ponzi schemes roll on.

Looking for a trade school or apprentice program for your son or daughter? Sorry, trade schools are expensive and apprentice programs take years. We've got an endless supply of low paid brick layers and carpenters. Try the healthcare industry..... oh wait.

#6 There were times that I was the only person speaking English in the Company break room. After a time it was easier to just bring a paperback and ignore everyone else in the room...

Most of the time, it's a blessing.
