[nfbmi-talk] Job Posting - Dept Analyst in Lansing

Fri Aug 29 13:09:46 UTC 2014

Classic example of spending more on non-blind, non-disabled in order to do 
less for people who are blind.

Oh well maybe they'll turn this ever evolving program in to a Burger King 
franchise when they merge with Tim Hortons in order to evade paying U.S. 
taxes. It was after all last year at this time that tens of thousands of VR 
dollars were squandered on the Tim Hortons fiasco.
Besides LARA and all who work for BS to Blind Persons not only enjoy eating 
whoppers, but tell them routinely.

Speaking of that documented fact, they should put in the requirement that 
one need to be a total pathological liar, or at least suborn the lies of 
management in order to get these jobs. I'm sure that a history of either 
bribery, encouraging kick backs, embezzlement, misappropriation of 
taxpayer's funds, wage theft, and other high crimes and misdemeanors 
wouldn't hurt the applicant either.

And for those wishing for upward mobility they should also denote a record 
of work avoidance in their resumes. I'm sure Mr. Bob Robertson would 
consider such a candidate highly being a kindred spirit.
