Dang....I don't know if I can condone this kind of brutality.

Earlier this month, Foxconn admitted that hiring for the plant was going slowly. The company originally promised to create some 13,000 jobs in the state, but it has already fallen short of modest targets. Instead of creating a promised 260 jobs in 2018, it only created 178, making it ineligible for tax credits. The company originally promised to employ 5,200 workers by the end of 2020, but Reuters now reports that this figure is closer to 1,000.
As well as the number of jobs diminishing, the type of work is changing, too. Instead of focusing on factory work, Foxconn claims it will create higher-skilled, R&D occupations. Woo told Reuters that about three-quarters of the jobs Foxconn will create in the state will be so-called “knowledge” positions.
Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, like many Republican leaders, believes that American children are too weak. His latest evidence: Some schools in his state have closed for the dangerously cold polar vortex winds that are currently scouring the midwest and pushing frigid air to states nearby.
“Come on, now,” Bevin said to radio host Terry Meiners in an interview Tuesday, after the host had called the cold “serious business” in protest to Bevin’s complaint. “There’s no ice going with it or any snow. What happens to America. We’re getting soft, Terry, we’re getting soft.”
Bevin did admit that it was better for schools to “err on the side of being safe,” but he maintained that the current way children were being raised softened them
See this is one of those things that can easily go both ways. I could see some old guy thinking he's helping neighborhood people out by leaving free gifts of bread and lunchmeat for them regularly. And bologna can be pungent, depending on the recipe...or maybe the age; maybe the meat is going bad and he doesn't realize it. On the other hand, I'd never describe any bologna I've ever seen as smelling like urine; that's highly questionable. Weird sitch all around.ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Since the first of this year, Sharisha Morrison has been receiving bags of bologna and bread from a mystery man.
The surprise sandwich deliveries to her southeast Albuquerque home always come in a plastic grocery bag.
Morrison set up a camera to see who was leaving the bread and bologna. At first, she thought it might be an act of kindness, until she realized the bag smelled of urine.
She isn't the only one receiving these deliveries. Her neighbors have been receiving them too.
"They're actually moving out because they're tired of it," she said.
Morrison says she has called police but they can't do much unless they catch him during a delivery.
And this morning on NBC, weatherman Al Roker called the Kentucky governor a "nitwit" for exposing children to this horrid freeze.
Their god is. Extortion racket, pyramid scheme. Scam.So God is an extortion racket?
Not the God I worship, but, according to the people doing these scams (and, what are these people called, prosperity evangelists?), yeah, apparently.So God is an extortion racket?
