It's not surprising that people are becoming skeptical of GW. If you rewind 10-15 years they where saying the Statue of Liberty would be underwater by now. There would be palm tree's growing in Alaska. The equator would be on fire.. etc. Well none of that stuff has happened.

I don't deny climate change at all. But the way our governments are going about the issue is totally flawed. They over regulate everything to death in the US/EU pushing industry to places like China and India where there is zero regulation. That gizmo is still going to get built. Is it going to be built in a clean US/EU factory or in China where they just dump the waste in to the river? Its all the same planet.

Any effort to regulate emissions is pointless unless its adapted across the board by all the major nations. Until then it just looks like another shady way for some governments to control and tax their people.

Mine is Springfield, Massachusetts.. I knew it had nothing to do with the one on the show. The TV "Springfield" is way to nice to be the one in Massachusetts.. Not nearly enough stabbings or hobo's on the TV show to be my Springfield. :-/

How much of this record number (2,289) is from big taxi or government fleet orders? Lets see if it holds these sales month after month. This "record" may be all from a few one time fleet sales.

Even with $4/gal gas they still moved 9,292's camaro's in the same month.
Total GM US sales for the month where 231,052.

The problem is that in many area's there is NO alternative so people stick with a crappy job out of necessity.

Work still needs to get done so MY prediction is that alot of companies will lay off down to 50.Then give the people let go the option of becoming "contractors".

They would never put it in writing. The legal department would never sign off on it.

They would just smile and say "OK its not important"...Then they will just move to the next question.
And as soon as the interview is over and you walk out the door your folder will go right in the trash can along with all the other people who dared to challenge the HR rep.

In a week or 2 you will get the standard form email saying they hired someone else who better met their requirements(...etc) and that they will "keep your application on file". People don't get hired for jobs everyday. Your not going to get rich off it.

Why can't they? You gave them all the info... Its on their servers... Its now their data!

Even if their TOS says they won't sell the data doesn't mean that they don't. You really have no way of knowing what its being used for. And how ever many lawyers you happen to have FB has that +10 more so good luck trying to hold them to any agreements.

It'd also be fun to see them NOT hire you :P
Getting the HR guy all worked up is a good way to not get the job.

Companies are getting away with stuff like this on the job interview because they have 100's of applicants for each position. My bet is people are handing over the PW because they don't want to put a negative or confrontational spin on the interview.

How about a probe in to how companies use people's credit reports for hiring decisions?

How is that OK but looking at people's facebook page NOT?

OK so maybe you personally didn't do it but some one at one point ran the imprints through a register to record the sales and update the inventory. It could have been your manager or the "home office"
If the card is NG or declined your SOL. Today you could get a VISA Check card with $10 in the account. Back in the 1980's when the manual machines where used that was not the case.

... I honestly don't remember what we did afterwards... but it didn't stop us then.[/quote]

What you did afterwards was take all the CC imprints and manually key them in to your register. And then PRAYED that they didn't get declined. Those machines are left over from the days before credit/debit cards and pre-pay cards.

In today's world with tons of worthless plastic floating around no store is going to just take your word that your card is good.
