My Cpa employees a retired IRS agent to help him do taxes. Super nice guy. I’m not sure how we got around to it. Maybe I asked him why he retired and then kept working. He said that he had been there many years and was a mid-level manager. The IRS hired minorities and women and put them on his team and he would be instructed to teach them how to do their jobs. And then when it came time for promotions every couple of years, the people he had been teaching were promoted and would continue to climb the ladder while he stayed stuck in a lower role….
I’ve actually spent a couple of years locked up.
It is relatively comfortable and safe compared to what I’ve read and heard about the old days.
Every person in CCC in Caddo parish gets an IPad. They lay in their bunks all day and watch movies. And I can assure you that it is COLD. Inmates complain nonstop about how cold they keep it in there.
Now head over to Plain dealing to the Bossier Parish pea farm and you don’t get the luxury of A/C. When it’s hot, they put a giant fan in front of the dorm. It takes very little time to adjust to the heat.
My home didn’t have air-conditioning when I was growing up. As a matter of fact, no a/c in elementary school and my high school didn’t get air-conditioning until my sophomore year. I’m 55 years old to put that in perspective.
Red River Parish jail was probably my favorite. You had more freedom than most jails and they fed you a lot better.
CCC you’re locked down about 22 hours a day with two other guys in a small Cell. Unless you get in programs dorm, which is considered a privilege. That’s the one for people who say they’re trying to sober up. Then you get out of your cell a lot more.
Pea farm in Plain Dealing you’re in a big wide open dorm with 50 other men so there’s a lot more to do. You can play cards and dominoes and watch TV and work out all day.
Red River Parish, They let you go out and work on the farm and you actually get to wear a T-shirt and blue jeans instead of a jumpsuit you can have tobacco products, watch TV and a use microwave oven
Sure it all sucked and I would’ve rather been free. But I did the crime so I did the time.
You did see a fight every couple of weeks or so.
I learned that if you mind your own business, don’t gamble, and don’t touch the TV. You are relatively safe in there.
Probably the worst part was just listening to all the low IQ people ramble on and on and on. It seemed like they would never shut up.
Oh, and all the budding rappers beating on their lockers for hours on the end was annoying AF
You’d be amazed, how much a person can read. That was my favorite escape.
I have rambled quite a bit here. One of the more shocking things to me was listening to guys talk and they would start a story and use the phrase “when I come back”. They knew they were coming back to jail some day.
Or I would listen to them talk about how they were going to be better criminals

China and Korea does sound dumb. To be honest I was in my early 20’s with a wife and 2 in diapers. Working a lot of hours and going to school full time. So I somehow missed that. I was happy that he balanced the budget for a year. Our national debt stopped growing. I wrote a paper in college about the spiraling national debt and how something had to be don’t about it or we were going to go bankrupt. I believe is was 4 trillion at the time. I sure wish our government would have continued to balance the budget and it was still 4 trillion. It would have hurt, no doubt. We wouldn’t have as many billionaires and some other countries would have had to take care of themselves. It’s going to hurt a lot worse eventually…..

That’s pretty mild, I’ve been arrested a few times, used to drink A LOT. So I was kinda asking for it. The Shreveport police always started by slamming me to the ground, pushing my hands up by my shoulder blades, and dropping a knee in my back, then putting cuffs on TIGHT

Work comp is probably the fairest overall
I’ve been with LWCC for many years. No claims which gives me a large discount. Then every April I get approximately 50% of what I paid in back as a refund, comes in handy at tax time.
Don’t get me started on TAXES!!!

I paying $36,000 per year for 3 company trucks, have to carry 1,000,000 in coverage and $6000 a year for 2 personal vehicles full coverage. $5800 homeowners, $9500 warehouse ins, $65,000 general liability for my company more if we have a busy year. Plus work comp based on monthly payroll, $18,500 for life insurance (i bought it later in life so am considered high risk)

Of those. First concussion. First time I was ever knocked out for that matter. I’m 55, been in many car wrecks, played football through high school, drank too much and fought all the time for years, bragged that 2 people have broken their hand on my head.
Had a ladder fall backwards 2 months ago, landed on my shoulders and neck. Back of head hit a brick on the edge of sidewalk. The neighbor says I was unconscious for a few minutes. I have one memory over the next 4 hours. Arguing with the nurse when they put me in the MRI machine. My most consistent symptom is sudden dizziness. Particularly when I turn my head to the side or lay back on my pillow. Room wobbles for a few seconds.
Also, it seemed like l got mad really easily for about a month.

When I was a teenager, a friend of mines Dad used talk about life. He told me I would come across people “that were so stupid, that they thought they were smart.” I’m 55 now, probably the age he was when he told me that. Boy was he right.
I got the first 2 and regret it. I was dead set against it for awhile, then I kept listening to the propaganda. I spend time regret my Mom and 3 Aunts who are all in their 70’s. I started thinking, what if I give it to them.
Then I considered the fact that I was going into peoples homes getting contracts signed and collecting checks almost daily and thought what if I give it to one of these nice elderly couples.
This was before it was proven that the shot did not stop transmission.
My sons school sent him home several times (once school started back) because someone in his class had it. “So dumb” They had the nerve to tell me that if I took him to get the shot, then he could come back.
Thank the Lord that I didn’t fall for that one.
Those pieces of shite even set up a desk by the school entrance where kids got a reward if they showed up with proof of a Covid shot.
Thinking about it, Makes me want to go over there and slap someone…

I was just reading the newsfeed where I check my emails on my laptop. Every title was incendiary in order to get me to click, and then once I opened up the articles, they said something almost completely different than a title.
I was once again reminded of why I avoid reading those articles.
I would imagine some people only read the titles

You are absolutely right, my head guys brother was like that. I ended firing him because he complained all the time. I’m sure we’ve all worked somewhere and experienced the constant complainer. It ruins the mood of everyone trying to do their job.
His brother talked to me several times in private and said that he was the only one that sent money to their parents and that his brother was selfish and wouldn’t help.
He also said that his brother had a wife and kids in Mexico and he never sent them anything.
I am on the side of deportation. Like I said earlier, I believe the majority of our resources should be on the gangbangers and the foreign terrorists and spies that Biden let through.
Boy is this going to be unpopular: if every illegal was deported today. The construction industry would collapse. Have you driven by any construction sites? 90% new homes, high rises, highways, bridges, roofs etc are being built by Hispanic crews, I stay in hotels regularly, all the room cleaners are Hispanic.
I have no idea what the long term effect would be. Hell, it might be good. Maybe everyone on welfare would suddenly go to work and become proficient in the construction industry. It took me 4-5 years to become a really good roofer. Of course I started when I was 18 and was basically roofing to pay rent and buy beer. I wasn’t focused and didn’t have a family yet.
You can’t snap your fingers and have 10 million experienced construction workers appear.

I’ve employed Hispanics off and on since 2009. Most in this thread don’t want to hear this but you can’t find any American roofers and if you do they are strung out on drugs, show up late and do shite work. The rumor that Mexicans are cheap labor is BS they charge the same or more than white/Black crews.
They just do a better job, show up on time, don’t complain and do it faster. There are bad ones out there, I’ve fired a few but most Hispanics work hard and take pride in their work.
I’m all for deporting illegals. I’m much more worried about the drug dealers, gang members, criminal element etc than I am about most of the ones I come in contact with. I see men trying to make a living.
I will say that I’ve always been a go getter and if I lived in a 3rd world country and heard that I could wade across a river and reach a land where prosperity reigned. Well, I’d be an illegal.
Someone earlier mentioned all the money they send home. You are correct, they send money to their wives, children and parents when they can afford it.
One time a long term Hispanic employee came and asked me to get paid early. (They rarely do this) I asked what was going on. He said my sisters husband hits her all the time, this time he put her in the hospital. I need to send my parents money so they can pay the police to arrest him.
What a different world they live in….

My Mom asked me who to vote for a couple of days ago. I told her that I liked Letlow, she said that she had been thinking about Fleming. She then said that she wished her deceased husband was still around, because he would know who to vote for.
My youngest daughter was like that for years. She would ask me who to vote for and I would write her a list of buttons to push once she got in the booth.
She moved off to Colorado and almost immediately became a liberal. She’s always been a bit of a follower.
We love each other and simply choose not to discuss politics. Still get along great.
My older daughter went to Tulane 15 years ago and has basically never left New Orleans since then She went far left and insists on forcing her ideas into every conversation.
We rarely speak.

I’ve explained this to a few people in person. They are usually surprised. ANY illegal can go to the social security office with their passport or paperwork and apply for a tax ID #. They call it a TIN. They then can use this to receive 1099’s, pay taxes, open bank accounts, open LLC’s, get state business licenses. Just about anything. They do have a hard time getting drivers licenses. (at least here in Louisiana) If they want to buy a car they usually drive over to Texas and pay ridiculous interest rates for crap vehicles. Or they get their American boss to buy the vehicle and they pay the note.
I’ve seen a few with real drivers licenses. They usually say Arizona or California.
They also buy their work comp and General liability insurance from Texas while living in Louisiana because it’s much cheaper
Once last thing, since I’ve already rambled
You do not need to be licensed or insured to roof in the state of Texas. I mean no checks and balances. Louisiana requires workers comp, general liability and a state license and most cities require that you pull a permit to replace a roof or even build a fence.
