Careful, if you make to much they’ll take your benefit card away…

I would choose neither. They are gestapo drug testers. I likes my weed and will be damned if I submit even one drop of my piss to those corporate douche bags.

So FITS comes out against lower taxes….How Democrat of you…

By the way: Amazon has more than fulfilled its promise of 2,000 jobs. It’s been a ROUSING success. Empty acreage is now generating millions in tax revenue and Amazon has signed amounts of paychecks, exponentially more than the little tax breaks it got…

And: Lexington County has the lowest unemployment rate in the state…while those FITS-driven counties that don’t compete for jobs…are begging for food stamps, unemployment extensions and welfare payments…And the food banks are over-run, cutting staff and out of food…

Leave to FITS (or Sheheen or ‘Pootlian) to run it…if you want to see what a TOTAL F*#k Up looks like… (:

There are 5 Wal-Marts within a 5-mile radius of my house. I bet just those have thousands of employees.

While Obama has LOST Millions and Millions of jobs…So you might want to STFU…

Tell us the truth, one of those Walmarts IS your house. You sleep on a lawn chair in the garden section at night, don’t you?

Majority of their employees for seasonal employment at Amazon come from referrals at Lexington and richland county DSS food stamp and welfare recipient. Amazon has a relationship with DSS were the income is verified within a week of being hired. After 3 months of working they are not laid off they are officially terminated violation of company policy not eligible for unemployment benefits because of Gov Haley stance on seasonal and termination of employment.

Still, there are more than 2,000 PERMANENT (non-seasonal) workers at Amazon. I think another 1,000 are in Spartanburg. You people act like WORK, if it’s not some liberal Utopian Bull-S#!t scenario, is a crime.

The rest of your idiot-crap post sounds like some sort of sinister conspiracy, that is actually the WAY REAL LIFE is for all of us. You liberals really just HATE reality. And you think if the Utopian standards you promise are not met, you have the right to pummel the reality-based people you hate.

Which is Hilarious, because you are nothing but TOTAL F*#king FAILURES at everything. And your ignorance, lies and bumbling cause severe misery for all of us (see Obama, Reid Pelosi.)…and all you Dumb@$$#$ can do is complain about less-than-perfection that seeps from your Doped-up-stoned, lazy and vacant minds.

I hear it’s such an happy and enjoyable place to work… if you’re currently working scrubbing septic tanks with your toothbrush.

“if you’re currently working scrubbing septic tanks with your toothbrush”

Is that what you call brushing your teeth? Or tooth in your case?

Same thing with retail at malls, etc. Christmas shopping. But sometimes any job is better than no job. Working is a good for mental health. Unless you work with assholes and bullies. And there is no shortage of them.

“Working is a good for mental health.”

THAT, is a great comment and often ignored or understated aspect of working. People that work have a sense of purpose…when you don’t work it destroys much more than your financial outlook…it also destroys your sense of purpose, self confidence, & does a host of other negative things.

Funny how people bitch about working at Amazon. Well above average wages…working INSIDE…and it’s not like one is splitting the atom. The parking lot out there is always full, so it must not be THAT bad.
Don’t know what people expect. It’s a WAREHOUSE job, only on a much larger scale.
You could get a job working for the City, checking meters, or sweeping up Five Points, for $7.25/hr. Don’t forget a warm coat, and/or raingear…

I don’t see how you could support what Haley said. I mean, I get you disagreed with the special incentives Amazon got and all, but really, we all know the only reason Haley was against Amazon was because Walmart was paying her off. I mean, damn, she got that 4,000 jobs talking point to go with bashing Amazon, so it was completely obvious.

Haley is completely fake. All that matters is who is giving her money and who supports her bid for national office.
