It's Christmastime once again and many people are working hard to bring something nice home to their families Especially the STIFFS ......the little people who with their dirty hands keep everything going for those nice folks who work and make money and allow those peasants to do their manual labor for them as they run off to the gym, the park or wherever And you STIFFS....be sure to remember just how lucky you are to be able to make Christmas such a special time for those special people And, don't forget that without you, they wouldn't have time to write BLOGS, post videos and spread their knowledge and wisdom to all those underlings beneath them Now get back to work....that dirty, heavy manual labor isn't going to do itself ! Oh.....and Merry Christmas....here's a dollar, don't spend it all in the same place

At 58 I'm still a "working stiff", and as a direct descendant of TOUGH AMERICAN PIONEERS I wouldn't have it any other way 'cause it's in my genes... So Ode to ME !

No offense but I suspect you might be one of them intellectools or sommat.

I find it interesting many of the holier-than-thou types (HTT) usually claim superiority in their political views but have no issues hiring crews loaded with "undocumented" workers who are in the US breaking the law, taking jobs away from American workers. I'd worked construction (clean up, moving materials), landscaping and for the moving van companies carrying boxes, furniture and appliances before becoming a bartender in college. In many cases, worked next to guys who'd served time and that was the only job they could get.
Those jobs are no longer available to US college kids or ex-cons and the HTT types don't give a @#$%.

THIS is what I immediately think of when people say "Salt of the Earth"... 11:20 to 11:45 That happens within any culture, IMO. I've observed and participated in it in both personal and work relationships. It's not just a "Mountain Culture" thing. Cute video though. Don't let the way they tauk fullya. Theyz smot foks theya.
