It's a cute concept (because who doesn't love cavorting baby animals?), but yeah... that set was pretty nasty-looking to be hawking a food product. And honestly, when I'm thinking of salsa, Brooklyn is not the first place that comes to mind.
Left or right, the idiot that signed off on that project should be blown out and have to look for a job himself. Here in Texas, you're required to sign up with the Workforce system before you collect one penny of unemployment. No capes or pissing away of $73K required.
Sounds like one of the little-mentioned downsides of "organic" beef. If your cows get sick, you're not allowed to give them medicine (like antibiotics) to make them well again.
Labor isn't the only cost in producing a product. When you're not selling parts at your usual 100%, it also means you're buying fewer components from YOUR suppliers, so your costs go down in that respect. And your machines aren't running as often, you're not paying for shipping out as many packages, etc., so there's another drop in your operating costs.
A smart company will use the downtime for training and cross-training employees, and figure out how to increase efficiency.
Now all they have to to is successfully deal with untangling Christmas lights and missing luggage and they'll get the "We'll be Married Forever" stamp!
to Graystone: [Former Corrections Officer here]Prison guards do not dish out punishment nor can they order somebody to solitary. All a prison guard can do is write a prisoner up breaking an established rule, much like doing a police report. If the case is found legit, the prisoner goes to in-house court and has legal representation. If found guilty, the judge is the one who hands out the sentence/punishment. If a prison gets solitary, it's because he/she has repeatedly broken rules in the pokey and/or is a threat to officers and other prisoners. Also, drug users aren't locked up (in prison. Jail, maybe), but drug dealers do get prison time.
That said, a lot of prisoners are redeemable and would benefit from counseling, therapy, etc. But that costs money and most people just want to see prisoners suffer instead of get rehabilitated. Sad, no?
Because being famous is so much more important than being a good person.
Best chewin' for a hawt screwin'?
