There are some bosses from hell nobody would work for in a blind fit. And outta there ASAP!

These employers are street angels and hearty well met! But as employers, slave drivers who couldn't ever do what they expect of others and for peanuts.

Just because someone volunteers to administer Mission funds doesn't mean very much until and unless the jobs they find are ones they themselves would do!

As always with "saint hasbeen", the employees are always the problem. And only possible because this flawed individual has in my view, absolutely no normal human empathy. And lives in a bubble that ends at the front gate?

Unfortunately, he has far too many, also alt-right, cobbers and fellow travellers in our parliaments!? And explains the ever-widening gap between the haves and the have nots? The record homeless and unaffordable housing!? And a non-existent energy policy etc, etc.

And covers his complete lack of normal human empathy and competence, by always blaming the victim and his own former employees?

You are right about just one thing Alan. I have no empathy for the thousands that take the dole, supplement it with a couple of days cash in hand, & refuse full time work when it is offered.

Unfortunately not every one is as brilliant as you like to think of yourself. They can't expect the general managers job as their right. You probably don't understand, someone has to make the product, someone pack it, someone load the truck, & someone actually has to make the deliveries. We can't all be bludgers all our lives.

Next time you decide to make a fool of your self, why don't you do it somewhere where you are not as well known as a ratbag.

To Alan B.

The only OLO contributor presently showing that he is intellectually challenged, is you.

I am fully aware that immigration can be a good thing as it creates artificial growth in a western world, where European birth rates have declined to the point of non replacement. Provided that our immigration and refugee programs are intended to benefit Australia and Australians, I don't have a problem with it. But our present immigration program is intended to completely replace the European people with people from dysfunctional ethnicities and terrorism advocating religions. So how you can see that as beneficial to Australians is a premise you could perhaps explain?

In addition, the importation of overseas workers has seen the driving down of Australian wages and conditions, exactly as it was intended to do. One may ask, "what the hell is the Party of the trade unions doing supporting that?" The answer is, that the union bosses know that union membership is declining anyway, so they need a new support base. Playing the champions of foreign workers seeking citizenship is a great way gaining future votes to keep the union bosses in parliament.

Meanwhile, we continue to hear stories of foreign workers living in shipping containers, being injured at work while working for ethnic building companies with no Workcover insurance, and building sub standard apartments that develop structural cracks which sees the entire residency evacuated.

As for "persecuted minorities", the idea of allowing those young Muslim women who want to get the hell away from Islam is quite appealing to me. As for others, if you ever picked up a history book, you will see that many of these "persecuted minorities" were doing a bit of persecuting themselves when the boot was on the other foot. Just look at the behaviour of the poor persecuted Sudanese in Melbourne, who were killing each other off in Sudan with gay abandon, but who are now doing the same thing in Melbourne with the good old Aussie taxpayer footing the bill. And robbing, bashing and terrorising Australians for good measure.

I don't need to reply to Hasbeen's abuse! Given in his short sharp tirade, he makes all my points for me. Been a boss has, packed stuff made deliveries and all the jobs you rave on about

.And have done some of the toughest, like running and I do mean running beside a track throwing up by hand, green lucerne hay and for fourteen hours a day. loaded and hand trucked ore from a mine and paid by the tonnage! Trimmed off a couple of stone in the first six weeks

Also, hand loaded and bagged then hand delivered 10 tons of coal in a single afternoon and per day when we still used the larger imperial measure.

Single-handedly shovelled all the gravel and sand then added the cement for all the concrete in a couple or three bridges. Again in a seven-day fourteen-hour gut bust. The last for a mouthing foaming slave driver of the first water.

Managed several businesses as manager and owner. The last in partnership with a pokie addict that didn't end well!

So don't tell me about work or how to do it. Had some employees that wouldn't work in an iron lung. But for the most part, folk who would give a fair day's work for a fair day's pay, especially if their boss worked beside them setting the pace and never ever asking another to do what he wouldn't or couldn't!

And I suspect, the difference between us?

Lego, replying to your tirade of half tuths and abuse would suggest I gave any of your, Alt right propaganda, some credence or oxygen!

And I don't!

After the Christchurch catastrophe, only the half witt haters would dare to parade their creditials as you have!? And need to be called out by decent folk everywhere as a racist! Patently hiding behind some far fetched mockery of economic nouse!

Climb back under the rock you were hiding your self evident xenophobia under!

Of course you won't reply to my post, Alan B.

The left has lost the debate. They know they can't convince anybody anymore, so all they can do is to demand censorship. When any ideology refuses to engage in debate and then proposes that the other side must shut up, by force if necessary, then the devotees of that ideology know themselves that there is something intrinsically wrong with their own holy scriptures.

But like so many fanatics or self interested ideologues, they consider that their ideology is the hope and light of the world. The only possible answer. So they ignore it's glaring inconsistencies and just keep plugging the message, while around them their own society falls apart.

This was the reason why so many nations collapsed. They simply could not conceive of their own destruction, so they just kept up a business-as usual-approach until the whole thing disintegrated.
