The word is "whose" and you have a weird thing with quotation marks and capital letters and bold print, dontcha there, Nono...to go with your witty name. I would say using my example there is hope for you, too, that in this great land of opportunity with some brains and elbow grease and training you can achieve your financial dreams, but I have read your posts and I do not want to give you false hope.

No, I meant lire, it rhymes with fire, Get It?
Caucasian.....of Russian decent with light melanin or dark melanin ?
There is an investigation on going instigated by Lying Democrats about Russian influence in America, we wouldn't want
you to get caught up in it due to claims of Business ownership and Russian decedents in your family with " light " melanin skin.
We need a percentage count of the melanin by the melanocytes in your offspring to properly classify their race....
Otherwise we will deposit this post of your into the circular file with your fantasy of business ownership....
Colluding with the Democrats could be detrimental to your existence......
Ah ya caught me on my English.....See those late night sessions with Bob are paying off.
Now let's work on those Business permits and bid bonds that you so desperately need to continue
working in LA County, whose lackeys will shut you down faster than a broken wheel on a Venice
can collectors shopping cart.

Individual workers have individual needs, circumstances and, skill levels. Employers have individual needs, circumstances and, skill requirements. Negotiation is a good skill.
Fun debate! Next we can discuss whether or not we should have internal combustion engines. Or slavery.
And THAT Sir is why we have a problem in the Southwest region of the United States.....
You and your spouse under cut the very rules in place in the United States to keep things in balance.

Not a good analogy, mechanical vs bio mechanical is the squabble of Democrats.....you know the Politicians who created the KKK to enforce their positions after a failed civil war was initiated to stop what you are slightly alluding to.

Nah I'd rather re-introduce you to the 1905 case of Lochner vs. The State of New York.
Bad law. Long irrelevant. But citing a 1905 case shows how modern your argument is.

So the squeaky wheel gets the grease? The golden tongued ones get more of the gold? What about Boxer, works harder than anyone, never questions or complains about a thing, how will he be compensated in your every man for himself conservative wonderland?

Okay, sure. First of all, I think the first thing to note about this case is its title. It's Lochner--he was the employer of a bunch of workers in some kind of a factory, baking bread, I think it was. And then on the other side, it's New York. That's the State. This is a criminal case. And what they are doing is they are suing Mr. Lochner for either a fine or perhaps a jail sentence. And his crime is to essentially employ his bakers with their consent for more than 10 hours a day and 60 hours a week. And so these are maximum hour laws. And the progressives love these laws. They were championed by people like Felix Frankfurter with a passion which is almost hard to imagine today on the grounds that they are protecting [?] workers from exploitations by their employer. Now, the first piece about the story which is a little bit odd is it turns out none of the employees are protesting. They'd worked under these arrangements for a long time with Mr. Lochner and are apparently happy with their lot. If you then start looking at macro-data to see what happens with this exploitation, it's exactly what the competitive economist will tell you, is that these wages tended to rise slowly with productivity; nothing fancy, but steady and sure. And that the number of hours worked, ironically, during this period started to drop down because as the wages got higher, the workers decided that they would prefer a little more time and leisure; and they and their employers can make bargains for this. So if you actually look at this as a market phenomenon, there is tremendous social progress in the very period for which the progressives are claiming exploitation is the norm. And my favorite measure on this, Russ, is life expectancy. In 1900, about 46 years, 47 years, for men and for women, roughly the same. By 1920 it was up to 54. Now you don't get that by exploiting workers. The only way you can move those aggregates up is to also move people at the bottom. And what drives it is in effect higher incomes, which allow you to get better food, and huge technical advances--in that period chiefly with the discovery of the various vitamin deficiency diseases like pellagra and beriberi. And the simple cures from them that don't require an FDA (Food and Drug Administration) or anybody in order to do something. So the picture on the ground is pretty good. But now what happens is: Why do you bring this suit? And the reason it was brought was that these particular bakers were in competition with union bakers. And union bakers in fact had different modes of production. They had a crew that came in the afternoon and baked the bread and went home; and then they had a crew in the morning that came in and packaged the bread and distributed it to their customers. But what Lochner's bakers did, was essentially they slept on the job. So they got in, did some work, went to sleep, got up again; and if you count the sleepless part of the work period they are always in violation, comfortably, of the maximum hour laws. So what you do is you have one mode of production which is differentially impacted by neutral, [?] neutral set of laws that are passed to drive them out of business. And Peckham, who came from New York State sort of understood all of this as part of the political economy.--Dick Epstein
