I imagine they will be giving the old ones away to the workers?

That would be even better than selling them to the workers.

They have pc's on forklifts???? Shoot, we were lucky to have plastic sheeting for the weather.

We zip tie cardboard on top when it rains.

Someone has to pay taxes to support the true non working class..

Kerry, You do have a job, just not a conventional one..Every customer becomes your boss.
And that is not easy...

Wasn't worried about the rain then. It was the snow, sleet, and freezing rain, that hurt. Weather on a rivers edge can be brutal at times. Saw some winters that reminded me of my Maine years. But I STILL can't get my head around the concept of pc's on a forklift.............................
