TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT…

employ

The continued dip in the stock market today wasn’t blamed on the sub-prime mortgage lending crisis or the escalating price of a barrel of oil Today’s stock market nemesis is the rising rate of unemployment in the United States. If somebody doesn’t pay attention and quickly we will be on some third world country shit where people are ferried around the places in taxicab bicycles.

Oh.

pedicab

The shit I am finding interesting is how many people are reportedly not even showing up for job interviews. WTF?!? That ain’t cool, unless you are really rich and your job interview is at some philanthropy organization you established in order to give away your money. That makes no sense right? Well that’s my point.

Employers increasingly jilted by job seekers

One of the biggest reasons I can imagine for people to juke a job interview is because the position being offered is straight up trash. But even then I wonder why people applied in the first place? Do unemployment benefits remain available for people that only schedule job interviews? It’s difficult for me to take a stand and bitch about corporate greed and outsourcing when more Americans are blowing off the initial stage of the hiring process.

I think companies need to review their benefit packages in order to make their businesses more attractive to people who might otherwise just stay in the parent’s basements. Consider some of these provisions…

  • Casual Mondays – flip flops and sweatpants are all good
  • 24-hr Cable TV Feeds – I’m predicting tremendous productivity during the commercial breaks
  • 3-Day Work Week – Send them home after 72 straight hours because they stink like ass
  • Free McDonald’s Lunch – No lunch for you if you work at McDonald’s
  • Nude Fridays – What is more casual than nothing at all?

    obaama

    I’m not about to bigg up BARACK OBAAMA just because of his primary win in Iowa. Albeit, it was historical that a mulatto won a primary there for the first time. Let’s see if that fool DJIMON HONSOU could win a primary in Iowa? I don’t think so.

    The reason that I don’t support OBAAMA has nothing to do with some ‘crabs in the barrel’ post-slavery mentality. I would have voted for X and MLK Jr. if I had the choice. My biggest objection to OBAAMA is that he opposes universal healthcare for all Americans. The pharmaceutical industrial complex and the insurance rackets definitely have their wallets over BARACK.

    Most of us don’t worry about our health too tough since we are young and strong right now. I’ve experienced the other side of the coin however because my mother suffers from multiple-sclerosis. As her condition has accelerated it has compromised her mobility and her lifestyle. My mother’s M-S requires her to take a shitload of medications. This is America.

    The pharma-industrial complex charges insurance companies exorbitant fees for their medication and insurance companies in turn increase our premiums and co-pays for these medicines. These two entities run unchecked and unregulated thanks to senators and congressmen who are lobbied to the tune of BILLIONS. My government is leaving me out to dry as a guinea pig or worse to the forces of big medicine.

    Universal healthcare could change this situation, but no presidential candidates are stepping forward to champion this cause. Why does a nation like Cuba have a healthcare system that pwns America yet they don’t have enough money nationally to import automobiles that aren’t less than fifty years old? Where are the morality advocates to protest for the U.S.’ treatment of the infirmed?

    Have you ever had one of those stretches in your life that you look back upon and you’re just thankful that you were able to witness it? Something like playing C-low and rolling ten headcracks all in a row. Something like having sex with HALLE BERRY without having to hear her speak. Something like finding a check for a million dollars, made out to you. Something like a rapper. Okay, something like a rapper that everyone knows.

    That is how shit has been in 2007 for your nigga on the keyboard…

    Let’s set it off with calling December DP Dot Com’s best month evar. We finished the month with over two hundred thousand individual IP addresses coming through the website and over 1.6 million hits. I’m sure I accounted for at least 10 individual IP numbers my damn self so I thank all of you that made up the difference.

    To my fam, the community of DP Dot Commenters and bloggers that drop their $.02 on the regulack and all of you lurkers that never say shit. Thank y’all.

    Spammers! I see y’all. What’s really good? No, I don’t want any dick pills.

    A special shout out to those of you that found this site while doing a JAYNE KENNEDY Google search. Much respect.

    I owe the credit for most of my traffic surge to ILLSEED @ all hip hop dot com for linking this site to AHH readers.

    Now the job is back on my shoulders to create the content that makes this page worth refreshing several times a day. When I see comments again from ESKAY and KAMOJI then I will know I am back on track.

    The big L’Chaim goes out to my folks the SPICERS who let CHOCOLATE SNOWFLAKE and myself crash their pad in Forty Lawdy during the summer. APPLE SPICE hit me on the Wackberry and asked if I wouldn’t mind house-sitting the Brooklyn jumpoff while she and Mr.Blister go O.T. for the holidays. This ain’t no railroad apartment in a Brownsville brownstone either. I’m talking about a view of the Williamsburg Bank building and the MetroTech area. Albeit, you overlook the Atlantic Yards too, but not for much longer.

    Direct TV, SONY plasma screen, 300 thread count bedsheets, lots of greenery, rum and Coke for breakfast, the whole nine…

    Hells Chea!

    For a brief holiday interlude CHOCOLATE SNOWFLAKE and I drove down to the ‘A’ to visit Mom Dukes in her new Marietta digs. On the way down to the ‘A’ inspiration struck the kid and I proposed to C.S.

    She said yes…

    Hells Chea!

    I know it isn’t very Hip-Hop to want to get married or even engaged now-a-days, after all ‘Love Is A Losing Game‘, but it’s so hard to find good people and good friends that really want to share your dreams, help you succeed, and not steal your ideas. Truthfully, here in New York City I can count those types of friends on one hand. So I placed a ring on the finger of my best friend.

    Thanks in advance for all of the love party people but save your congratulations for if, and when we are actually married. That moment is still a ways away. I can see a light at the end of the tunnel right now, but I’m not so sure if it isn’t just an oncoming freight train.

    It’s time to get flyer than a muv up in this B.I.

    There was a little sitdown between the i.C.’s and the Ego Trip collective as to how each movement could assist the other. The i.C.’s are considering a leap to another platform for broadcasting our ideas, but the situation has to be so icy, because we are so i.C. True story is that we need to have a whole lot more work floating around also. People forget about you when you aren’t churning videos out weekly, or even monthly, or even quarterly. Ugggh. There are a few videos in the chop shop, but I can’t call it for when they’ll drop. In the meantime and in between time RAFI, CAS and I will be shooting two more projects this month. DO NOT SLEEP ON THE iNTERNETS CELEBRITIES. No, really.

    C.S. and I took a quick drive up to Woodstock to do the new annum on some back to natureboy fireplace jawn. No, there won’t be any pictures posted of my naked New Years run through the snow.

    Shout to everyone that came through DP Dot Com for the New Years. I see you out there…

    And now I’m back up in here.

    Tell a friend to tell a friend about DP Dot Com and you might win a free trip to Hawaii this year. Okay, maybe not Hawaii. How about an unlimited bus and subway Metrocard?

    A DAILY unlimited bus and subway Metrocard!
