No job shortage here
Last week, my friend who works for the state of Tennessee sent 50 state jobs openings to his mailing list. I looked over the list and found just five jobs [I think] are critical to providing services to people.
This got me thinking: Why is the state is hiring 50 people to do jobs like wildlife manager when the governor is cutting important services like limits on hospital visits for TennCare recipients, and deleting speech therapy and physical therapy for patients on TennCare. I am an animal lover but I think people are more important than animals.
The government thinks it is more important for the prisons to have staff for a store where prisoners shop instead of helping 50 disabled people on the family-support program or providing services for people with mental illnesses.
I think the state should spend the limited money in the budget more wisely for the people of Tennessee.

Scoop: the arena naming rights are about to purchased by Bridgestone.
Last time at The Palm, date ordered the steak with the added 1/2 lobster tail for me and then I had the key lime pie. That worked.
Bridgestone would be more appropriate than Sommet.
Loner - Just saw a forcast for the East Coast of up to 30" of show. Keep us updated.
I think they'd be more stable, that's for sure.

From the article, the job loss was determined by surveying the employers. The unemployment was determined by surveying the households. So, even though there was a net loss in the number working, more than that number quit looking.
