The USSR, remaining in a confrontational mode, depleted its treasury, while the U.S. and China forged a synbiotic relatinship.<br /><br />I wonder if I can get an Ambassador post in the Fiorina administration in '17?

And in the current precipitous world economy, what successful multinational organization can afford to have anything less than a loyal, skilled machete swinging, productive workforce? <br /><br />Those that left, though, should count their lucky moon and stars - better to have left voluntarily than to have been in a division that got axed, because, well, you know...<br /><br />If ISIS doesn't watch out, they may face a U.S. Department of Labor inquiry.<br /><br />Bet that would frost their gizzards.an Donalbanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418506325893352676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415838695962615627.post-51415036569651456792015-02-09T08:19:22.302-06:002015-02-09T08:19:22.302-06:00ISIS is going to start having issues if word gets ...ISIS is going to start having issues if word gets out about worker dissatisfaction.
