The take-away I got from it was not to hire people because they are cheaper. You get what you pay for.

The zoo I used to work for, as a gov’t facility, has been stricken for several years with pay cuts and hiring freezes. One of the solutions that was bitterly fought against was to sell the zoo to the Society, which would mean they could hire keepers for mimimum wage. Plus, they wouldn’t be required to give them full-time status: minimal or no benefits to people risking their lives daily.

Trying to break Labor by hiring scabs rarely results in good things, whether it’s missed referee calls or high-school drop-outs managing rhino feedings.

I watched the game and it was indeed a disgrace. I agree with your boyfriend’s analogy. We’ve witnessed the behavior of the amateurs in the Republican-controlled House and they are properly to be compared to the replacement officials. No sane NFL fan would want to give those officials another chance and I can’t see how any sane voter would want to give the GOP another chance.

This is a good analogy. While I don’t follow football, I have heard complaints from several people about the injustice done with these sub-par referees. Perhaps this should be an object lesson as what is in store for us if the wrong candidate is put at the helm.
