It's a shame that they went with lovely cheap bullshit instead of the really good and effective health insurance they had before.

switching to terrible insurance is a two-fer

you save a bunch of money on the insurance, and then you save even more money when all the 40-somethings with families and 50-somethings with chronic health conditions leave the company

slash fully loaded employee cost and then a second, bonus slash to payroll, without having layoffs! win/win

dude they make for great footrests

only place you can sleep on the new buses (they have these 'ergonomic' seats that are more shaped to your back and butt, but only have 1/2" of foam) is in this one row that lets you use the wheel hump as footrest

Clint Eastwood might have lost a few fans when he had a dialogue with an empty chair. But how much can you fault a man who maintains his beliefs when faced with overwhelming dissent?

Clint Eastwood has obviously achieved fame and success outside of referring to Obama as an empty chair, and he remains no stranger to controversy. He has opened up about what he calls “the pussy generation”. Our generation. And, unfortunately, it’s not because we get a lot of it.

Eastwood has claimed that society has turned us into pussies. And with the advent of political correctness, this symptom of our generation is plain to see. But he speaks for the majority, not the cream of our generational crop, who have risen above the pedestrian lifestyle to function in the elite category of men.
