Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

The Real Owners Of America

"You know what they want? Obedient workers ­ people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork but just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly sh--tier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And, now, they're coming for your Social Security. They want your f---ing retirement money. They want it back, so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They'll get it. They'll get it all, sooner or later, because they own this f---ing place. It's a big club, and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club."

"This country is finished."

Verizon doesn't give a crap about anything else other than paying less to every employee. Period!

All the previous posts that indicate anything other than that are BS, Most people that post are a mindless bunch and are perfect examples of what is happening.

For just 1 example, so called "Obamacare" was actually started by Mitt Romney! Before it was Obamacare it was Romneycare!

You are living in the matrix. Take the red pill and wake up!

Of course Clinton's not a socialist. She's a felon.

The Democrats are hardly Socialists unless you mean Bernie Sanders, and even he is only called a socialist here in the USA. In other nations he would be a moderate.

Hillary Clinton is obviously no socialist!

I see George Carlin's words of wisdom are wasted on you!

The real owners of America are curremtly the democratic/socialist politicians. The real owners of America should be the people of the United States, as set forth in the US Constitution.

Of the people, by the people, for the people.

By the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long and they tell you what to believe...All day long, beating you over the head in the media, what to believe, what to think and what to buy...The table is tilted, folks! The game is rigged! And nobody seems to notice, and nobody seems to care! Good honest, hard-working people! White collar, blue collar... Doesn't matter what color shirt you have on! Good honest, hard-working people continue...These are people of modest means!...continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don't give a f--- about them! They don't give a f--- about you! They don't give a f--- about you! They don't care about you! At all! At all! At all! Yeah! You know? And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. That's what the owners count on. The fact that Americans probably will remain willfully ignorant of the big red white and blue dick that's being jammed up their a--holes every day! Because the owners of this country know the truth - it's called the American Dream: because you have to be asleep to believe it.

I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them. That's against their interests. They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly they're getting f---ed by a system that threw them overboard 30 f---ing years ago.

Have never been paid more, had better benefits, and worked less hours ever in my life. This has been literally the best job ever for me and my family. Also the OT has been insane since the strike started. Thanks for that. You are in an old system my friend. The union does have good, hard workers but they also have many horrible ones that do nothing and live in a sheltered system. This is what VZ wants to purge.

Who would people rather hang out with? George Carlin, if he were still alive or lqu?

Me, I would rather hang with Carlin.... lqu sounds like an anal-retentive, fascist, corporate bootlicker.

We should take our country back from people like him.

The real owners are the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians, they're an irrelevancy. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They've long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the statehouses, the city halls. They've got the judges in their back pockets. And they own all the big media companies, so that they control just about all of the news and information you hear. They've got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying ­ lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want; they want more for themselves and less for everybody else.

What they actually want is employees that work hard that they can trust. They don't want lazy and entitled people who walk off the job if they don't like something and who vandalize company equipment if they have a dispute.

There is a reason union employees can't find work outside of Verizon. No one hires lazy, entitled vandals.
