Well put Zoomx2. If you're married or have a significant other, here's a muffin top.

zoomx2:

I think most of your points are valid and reasonable. I just think it is completely inappropriate for a governor to suggest a boycott against a legal company in his state who is operating their company COMPLETELY within the law.

If the Governor does not like the law, he should encourage Congress to change it. He is using his bully pulpit against a legit company- that's abuse of power.

If you feel strongly about this, I encourage YOU to organize a boycott. That's your job, and your right (or for that matter, ANY citizen). It is NOT, however, the Governors. His job is to uphold the laws (constitution) of the land.

Let me offer one clarification regarding my "overpayed, underworked, and lazy" comment...

First off, I appreciate you giving me the benefit of the doubt, and crediting me with a bit of ethical high ground, in spite of the fact that my comment was worded in such a way that it was easy to misunderstand. Thank you.

No, I didn't come to any assumptions whatsoever based on people's names, I did not assume they were union, and I already voiced my opinion (agreeing with you) on the offensive nature of the comment about the pregnant maid (and other dumb comments).

My comment was much simpler than that. I was merely observing that another company with a different payscale appears to be offering the same service at a lower price. That makes one group overpaid, if all else is equal.

Again, zoomx2, I think many of your points are valid. One area where we most DEFINITELY agree, is that several people have made comments in this thread that are patently offensive, and frankly, people, sticking a smiley face after them doesn't change there nature one bit. Keep your pigheaded comments to yourself.

Since my own comments were apparently misunderstood, may I be the first to offer my sincerest apologies if I offended anyone.
