Well if weinerbager hired 50 portos the property owners in that county will foot the bill for human services – housing and welfare programs I would have to assume. – Not Weinerbager.
I know enough about it to get promoted over and over again and to fire a dumb ass like you.
Too bad you don’t have the balls to put your real name on here when you slander someone. But then again that whole family was that way. Killed cats and blamed other people, cheated, lied, stole from the company and then tried to blame better people for their problems. So typical of lowlife’s like that.
Too bad you don’t have enough balls to not delete comments.
Too bad you don’t have enough balls to use your real name when you attack someone. But, then again I guess it is no surprise. Cowardice runs in your family, right along with stealing.
Well at least I have balls enough to not delete comments that do not fit my views. I guess that makes you the real coward here.
Let’s take a poll:
How many readers think it is cowardly for LVS to delete comments that he does not agree with?
Same old gutless family. Run and hide and try to distort the truth. It is no wonder you get fired from every job you have ever had.
The are you going to pull your bull shit and start posting under different names. It is a sign of insanity when you start answering yourself. Of course you know all about insanity in your family.
So knee-pas Larry you ass-kissing, back-stabbing, boot-licking stupid old coot…why don’t you tell us all about you and Ron Blong.
LVS…. how sad to spend your sunset years making a fool of yourself posting childish nonsense. You need an intervention man, get a life while it lasts.
Same old gutless family. Run and hide and try to distort the truth. It is no wonder you get fired from every job you have ever had.
Those might have been your good old days LVS but presently you are just a dried up, pathetic old retiree spending his golden years trolling this rat hole.
What do you know??? The JB family still can’t stand it when they are called out for their bullshit.

yes, what we really need is more government programs that allow people to not have to work!!
And, let the people who are dumb enough to get and and go to work everyday, pay for it.
This just shows how far behind the Democrat party is and that they know nothing about jobs. The Democrat party is all about welfare, not working jobs. There is no shortage of decent jobs. Due to the drug epidemic there is a shortage of available workers.
He didn’t work for me you dumb ass. He was terminated for falsifying his time card by his supervisors. (Stealing). I was in Production Control, not supervision.
If there is such an abundance of jobs, why is there so much anger about immigrants (legal or not)? Seems as if we would want to encourage immigration to boost our labor force if we have jobs begging to be filled.
I just heard that Winnebago industries went to Puerto rico and hired 50 families to work in the Winnebago motorhome factory. see we have the jobs but like the poster said cant find many to pass a drug test to be hired.
can’t pass a drug test. U mean can’t pass a test for mariquana that is having no effect on them when they take the test. Smojked 2 wks ago still dirty but not impaired. quit testing for pot and you have thousands of wrkers.
Great post Bodie.
Nice try, but it is not the company that sets those rules. It is the insurance carrier and they have a real problem insuring people who are “dirty” and make bad decisions. Don’t blame the company because you are breaking the law. It is on you.
There are plenty of good paying jobs in North Iowa. Every industry is looking for people to fill their needs from the hospital, to manufacturing and the list goes on and on. What we need are qualified people to fill those jobs who want to work and can pass a drug test. Those are the two main reasons people don’t have a job right now. Once again they are out of tune with reality.
Jobs yes, decent, no.
