Profit Incentive Rocks
« on: June 11, 2010, 02:11:22 pm »

So being unemployed, I do odd things for money. My father mows his sister-in-law's bank's forclosed property in this county for $40 every two weeks. He wanted me to go up and mow the enclosed area with my push mower for $20. I said deal, and we did it. A few weeks later he calls me, says to go up there again. I go up, see the whole lawn needs mowing, and ask if he wanted me to just mow the inside. He says yeah, but maybe do the ditch, and if I did the whole thing I'd get the full $40. I figure the enclosed area is only a fourth of the total lot and decline. Then, after I'm done with what I was supposed to do, I figure; fuck it. Do the whole thing and go get a case of beer with the extra $20. So I mow it all, head down to Holiday Foods, and spot a sale. Livingston Cellars burgundy for five bucks? Salt and vinegar potato chips for three?

Damn, I love the profit incentive.

He needs alcohol to get through the working day.

Also I'm not on the government teat, so its none of your concern what I spend my money on when I get it.

I'm ashamed of you, spending your hard earned money on burgundy and chips instead of video games or whatever you SHOULD be buying instead (can you buy jobs? Is that what you should be spending your money on?)

I very well think you should send that money to someone who can spend it better. I nominate myself, but forsaken1111 also seems a good choice.

In my country you *have* to buy jobs (ie bribe people), and then when you get one you only get one out of three salaries :(

God bless the profit incentive.

Almost every human action can be broken down into greed in some form.

I can confirm this, also being a politician means no education is required and you get to take anything you like, also having cousins in important places is more valued than actually knowing how to do your job
