Whenever there is a decent snowfall in Massachusetts, the governor announces that "all non-essential" employees should stay home.

It's in the name of safety and to ease snow removal.

But who the f*ck is getting MY tax dollars to work a job that is non-essential?

The sorry fact of the matter, is that over 80% of the state workers fit this broad category.

I think we should prop up Obama's weather machine, make it snow, give the non-essentials a day off, and then fire everyone who doesn't show up.

It isn't quite like that. I was of the same mindset, but not any more. If there is a reasonable profit, instead of investing back into the business and hiring more, the people at the top get a new, more impressive title and a big zzz bonus, while the rest below get maybe enough of a raise to cover the increase in insurance premiums. Unless you admit to smoking cigars.
