Raise the wage??? More money or more worries?

A lot of people are jumping up and down and cheering at the thought of raising the wage to ten, and sure, it sounds good, but what are the costs of a  nationwide raise. It probably wont apply to small businesses of course, and it may only apply to full time wage earners anyway, but big business didnt get big by being dumb. Many of you out there know that if a large company has to pay you more, they are going to find the money to do it with the way they always have. Say, a big company called Scrooge and Marley, Inc., was to be forced to give them a 3 dollar raise next month... How would they do it? Well, you see, companies succeed by keeping their overhead low, which means they would have to cut labor costs by hiring less people and laying off some. Also, they would put the workers they have on part time status to cut overhead and improve profit margins. This is inevitable of course, but I write it better from a maybe they wont have to point of view.

Anyway, when all their workers or wage earners as they are also known, are on part time, the company will have more profit, and the share holders like profits a lot. Also, since part time workers are not required to receive certain benefits that full time workers receive, the company will be even more interested in cutting hours and staff size. What will this mean for John and Mary Employee? Well, now that there is less help they will be required to do three times as much work or else. Also, one of the benefits that workers lose is their full time health coverage which part time workers do not get. #passTHEbuck

Of course, with your hours cut you will have more time to spend at home, assuming you still have a home since cost of goods sold and cost of living and gas prices and retail prices will all HAVE to go up to pay for the raise you were jumping up and down about before. Hopefully, paying your mortgage will not be a problem while you are struggling to keep gas in the Caddy.

Then again, they may not cut everyone's hours. Some may still get to work 40 a week, and get the big check, but since inflation has to go up to cover the raise, will they really be making more??? Well, we can always hope and watch and wait.

Rest In Peace Joan Rivers

QUOTES OF JOAN RIVERS:

"I’ve had so much plastic surgery, when I die they will donate my body to Tupperware.”

“When I die (and yes, Melissa, that day will come; and yes, Melissa, everything’s in your name), I want my funeral to be a huge showbiz affair with lights, cameras, action. I want Craft services, I want paparazzi and I want publicists making a scene! I want it to be Hollywood all the way. I don’t want some rabbi rambling on; I want Meryl Streep crying, in five different accents. I don’t want a eulogy; I want Bobby Vinton to pick up my head and sing ‘Mr. Lonely.’ I want to look gorgeous, better dead than I do alive. I want to be buried in a Valentino gown and I want Harry Winston to make me a toe tag. And I want a wind machine so that even in the casket my hair is blowing just like Beyonce’s.” 

Don't follow any advice, no matter how good, until you feel as deeply in your spirit as you think in your mind that the counsel is wise.

Who are The Originals? #TVD #Originals

"In the beginning, our family was human, A thousand years ago, now(11th century). Although our mother dabbled in the dark arts(#witch), we were actually just a family trying to survive in a time when it was quite difficult to do so(#10th century). And, for better or worse, we were happy. That is, however, until one night, our youngest brother was killed by our village's greatest threat. Men that could transform themselves into wolves during the full moon(#werewolves). Our family was devastated, none more than Niklaus (werewolf). Desperate to protect the rest of us, our father forced our mother to call upon her black magic in order to make us stronger(forced a witch?). Thus, the first vampires were born(10th century). But with this speed, this strength, this immortality, came a terrible hunger. No one felt this hunger more than Niklaus(hybrid). ” — Elijah to Hayley about his family in Always and Forever

If you haven't seen the TV show, the Originals is a spin off of the Vampire Diaries show in which the Mikaelson family returns to Louisiana to live amongst the Werewolves and Vampires who weren't drowned to death by Hurricane Katrina.

Who are the Mikaelsons? Well, the Mikaelsons lived in Virginia in the 10th century AD. (#900s) Although they all seem to have British accents, the British did not settle in Jamestown until 1607. (#17thCentury) Clearly, Elijah is not good with timelines or maybe he is getting Alzheimer's, but whatever the reason, 11 centuries later, the Mikaelsons return to New Orleans where they had once "run the town."

The Mikaelsons claim to be the first vampires, although Silas was born sometime around the 1st century, about 9- 10 centuries before them and although the blood of his girlfriend's family is needed to cast the spell to make them vampires. (#doppelgangers) Hester, Elijah's mother (who is a witch), uses the blood of Tatia, Klaus's girlfriend to cast the spell to make them all immortal, but does not tell anyone that Tatia is a descendant of Silas' girlfriend, Amara (who was killed by a witch)... (So the real Originals are???)

Ironically, Elijah's brother Niklaus hooks up with another werewolf, Hayley, who is also descended from his father, who lived about 11 centuries before her, and they are having a baby. These two distant cousins are destined to run the town together, unless of course, Niklaus kicks Hayley to the curb and hooks up with Caroline. (#drama) Wouldn't that make an interesting Maury show?
