Az I Use It....
- To assist U.S. Armed Forces morale, send Holiday greetings to: Holiday Mail for Heroes, P.O. Box 5456, Capital Heights, Md. 20791-5456(do NOT send to 'Any U.S. Soldier,' etc., addresses. They are false!)
- The recent UCFW-threatened strike(25,000 employees) was averted. I recently discovered that when Basha's closed thirteen of its stores, managers were transferred with full salary and benefits, while employees were laid-off, then rehired and transferred, without benefits and seniority, as new employees!
It is, unfortunately, necessary to maintain workers' unions, to prevent a loss of workers' standards of living and workplace conditions. A record number of U.S. companies reported profits for the 3rd quarter of 2009, but the profits were due to cutbacks in staff, salary, and benefits - and NOT from an increase in sales!
- Basha's recently had Starkist Tuna on sale(from $2.19/can to $1.99/can) Regular price at Walmart for identical item - $1.34/can.
- Fresh and Easy Markets will begin opening in the East Valley in early 2010, while West Valley stores should be open by April/May 2010 - even though they've been sitting there - ready-to-go - for almost two years!
- Where were the 'greenies' when the Capital Christmas tree was cut down in Arizona?
- Have you noticed that most manhole covers are constructed such that one of your tires must pass directly over them - and they are usually not flush with the street!
- My clothes and new car reek of cigarette smoke - and no smoker has ever been inside! I'm tired of smelling other drivers' smoke when they are in front of, or beside, my car, and their smell chokes into my AC system. Roll your windows up and gag on it yourself....please!
- The Az. Public School Tuiton Tax Credit program is under scrutiny by lawmakers claiming very little savings($8M) have been saved, while much is lost to state coffers. A recent 'outside' analysis found that more than $45M had been saved, and that the program was very beneficial to the state. Either way, education is now considered to be just another money-making enterprise to the present legislature!
