      - Oh please. I’ve owned my business for over 30 years. That’s just malarkey. - Frank L - 6:03pm 9/30/24
        Well that makes you a good, bad example of what a business owner generally thinks. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 7:33pm 9/30/24
        At least I am one as opposed to all of the slaves of corporate America who claim they have agency - Frank L - 7:54pm 9/30/24
        
        Then you are the only business person I know who wants higher labor costs and more regs. [NT] - LanceManion - 6:26pm 9/30/24
        Higher labor costs? What are you smoking? We’ve been eliminating clerical work as much as possible. - Frank L - 6:32pm 9/30/24

      - Yup as they work down on the farm in their overalls. Please. [NT] - Frank L - 5:26pm 9/30/24
