>> Are you a W-2 or 1099 Person?

always tell people there are 2 types of workers in the world. Now I dislike putting people into categories (then why now you ask). I just have seen too many of the 2 types and not many of anything that could be a third type. But you will be surprised as to which type I think the majority in.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) – Atlantic City’s casinos were ordered to close Wednesday, the latest casualty of a state government shutdown that entered its second day Sunday after the Legislature failed to adopt a budget by its July 1 deadline.

The head of the Casino Control Commission ordered gaming in Atlantic City to cease at 8 a.m. Wednesday – the day after the July Fourth holiday – if New Jersey fails to enact a budget by then.

Readers here know that I have no love for the various things we call “government”. I use the word “gubamint” to describe all of the activities that the original limited government of the dead old white guys has taken over.

Now if you were a businessperson and had a problem, then the last person you’d want to feel the pain would be your customers. Not so with the gubamint of the People’s Republik of New Jersey!

Casinos, who are big campaign contributors, they get a relaxed close down schedule. Motor Vechicle  Commission, that services real people, shuts down right away.

Far as I am concerned, they can stay shut forever. A plague on all their houses.

Did they turn off the power in the Governor’s mansion? Did the stop fueling the governor’s car? Why does the Governor have a car I pay for any way? Nice perk! Maybe he should have to walk to work.

Argh!
