Global Shipping Program. Pay more for snail's pace delivery.

After the usual week long tour of the US it then faffed about in England. Now it apparently needs to be sorted in 2 or 3 different locations in my own country before they send it to me and here's another weekend to interrupt that process. Come on tha ***k. :banghead

+ more import charges and taxes, at least in Mexico.

And the possibility that it's rejected by customs due to some doofus filling a form wrong.
 
Wow, in what I believe is a first ever, I've just received that figure - on a Saturday. I can't believe it. Even better - it sounds like they'll be doing this from now on. :yess:
 
That the world didn't end.

I hate that my FB feed is filled with "Yeah, fire 'em! 'Merica!" posts by the same people that post score or play updates throughout every football game. Fire them for not standing during the anthem, but keep them employed when they beat their wives, kill someone, do drugs, etc? This country's priorities are so ****ed up sometimes.
 
Another chunk of irony- the same people who say fire them place their hands over their hearts and sing the national anthem- a song thats come to be about american freedom and values.

Many ppl are ok with freedom, so long as they agree with what youre doing.

And for a sitting president to advocate the firing of private citizens working in the private sector because those citizens are protesting something is totally antithetical to American values. Imagine if obama said that companies should fire people who go to 2A rallies or anti abortion protests.
 
Always wonder how it’d work when the shoe is on the other foot to a regular joe versus those of influence.

If I was a visible protestor of a highly contested subject acting within my rights whether I’d remain employed.

I work in private sector yet it could bring about unwanted publicity to the firm....I’m not protected by a union and live in a state where I can be fired at will.......

If only I was single it’d be an interesting test.....
 
95% of us are "at will" employees, meaning you can quit whenever you want, or they can fire you whenever they want. For anything they want. Or for nothing at all. There are some obvious limitations to firing- ex gender, religion, etc.

But you cant be fired for exercising a constitutionally protected right. Ie- they can't fire you for protesting. However, they CAN fire you for your behavior or something they reasonably find offensive (marching around shouting stuff about jews, or wearing a kkk mask at a halloween party). Remeber, it's "at will" employment.

Dont quote me on the "reasonably offensive" test as the legal standard. It's just my guess and experi nce.
 
Addendum- high profile entertianers are usually independent contractors, not employees. They make their money going from job to job being paid per event or performance under a contract. Those contracts usually have a morality clause where penalties are already agreed upon if the perfomer say, gets caught with a bag of meth, or gets arrested for picking up hookers. Those are extreme examples but a good contract will have acceptable behavior well articulated.
 
Hate to say it but it takes a tragedy to bring the people together. The country is very unfocused and weak with all of the division.

Also for people to feel patriotic and love their country again.

Which is funny how kim and n. Korea's threats have shown how some people hate the country so much they were defending or making excuses for him, lol. Kind of incredible to see.

You fascist!

Lil Kim is a cool dude. He just gets a bad rap for his concentration camps.
 
When obama said he'd change the name of the redskins-

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
President should not be telling the Washington Redskins to change their name-our country has far bigger problems! FOCUS on them,not nonsense
