Re: [DMCForum] get your project car finished... one way or another...

Likewise. I've seen them standing in front of a fast food restaurant,
"Will work for food" sign in hand, and "Now hiring" on the
restaurant's billboard. And people still hand them money!! If you
really want to work for food, go in there and do it, for crying out
loud.

I mean, it's not hard to get a job. Everyone whines about unemployment
problems, but that's only because they're not willing to take a crappy
job. Fast food restaurants need adult workers. If you're over the age
of 18 and willing to work you can find a job in a day. Even if you're
a smelly bum. Beg for an hour, take your $100 and get a shower and
some new clothes, then hit up all the fast food joints around town. In
no time you'll have a job and will soon be able to put down first &
last month's rent on an apartment.
