    Trust me, I have enough hobbies to never be bored. Running, surfing, biking, brewing, cars, etc... I just don't want to work for "the man" anymore, as Chich would put it.

    Believe it or not, that is what I said as well.
    As for working for "the man"...that I DO understand.
    Problem here in NH, we have to deal with winter, long winters--makes long periods of "lock up", especially this past winter. Way too cold to get out; surfing was extremely difficult.
    But, to each his/her own, I suppose. I hope you make it there, earlier than you expect.

    If you deleted your crazy conspiracy side, we probably would be twins.

    No real winter in SC. I was sort of unemployed for a while, back during the recession. Like 4 months worth of just working a $10 an hour part time job at a beer store to make ends meet. I had so much free time. It was wonderful. I would still be doing something like that today, if I didn't need engineer level money to maintain a comfortable lifestyle.

    I hope it all works out for you, no matter which path you take.
    Life is hard enough, at times....

    Cheech hasn't had a real vacation in 10 years, just a weekend 2 times a year. Although, I make 70 bucks an hour and I get off at 2 every day.

    Also, the big expense in my company is the $1600.00 a month health insurance bill. I was paying 80 a week before.

    "Companies can file a lawsuit if they believe to be losing profit or even have a lower expectation of profit due to changes in the “environmental, health or other regulatory objectives,” according to the leaked document."

    One can tell this deal will fuggup 99.9% of us. 7 years of "No compromise." Fugging us out of affordable health care. This is only thing the Repugs are agreeing with O. We're doomed.

    Unfortunately, it is an answer. They are almost never public. I posted previous deals as examples.
    In all honesty, this is the real issue I see from your article: "The senator also criticized the administration for allegedly allowing corporations to view the trade deal, but not the American public."

    That makes it no longer a normal trade agreement, and is something I completely oppose. It says allegedly, so it isn't 100% fact. But if it is true, they should now make it a completely public deal.

    RT = Infowars Jr. I trust the tabloids more as a reliable news source than RT.

    Tabloids are reliable. STAR Mag said Bruce Jenner was cutting his cock off a while ago... And now no more cock.

    Yeah, Ol' Turtleface Mitch Mac tried to pull a fast one by slipping in some provision about currency and child labor.
