I was born in a log hospital and had to fight dinosaurs to get to school each day but do take note; as it is always best to take menial job employment advice from multimillionaires.

Fox Chicago News - Chicago - McDonald's has 50,000 golden opportunities up for grabs Tuesday: They're hiring.

The fast-food giant is calling today a national hiring day and seeking to fill 50,000 jobs. In Chicago alone, McDonald's is looking to hire about 1,500 workers.

The Oakbrook-based company has openings at its restaurants nationwide for everything from cashiers to managers.

At a store in Oakbrook, applicants ranged from a man looking to get back into the workforce and move up in the ladder to a young teen who was looking for her first job.

McDonald's said it's the largest hiring effort in the company's history.

Odd, that's not what McDonald's spokeswoman Ashlee Yingling said, "Our total hires are similar to past years."

Will you jump at this golden opportunity which are up for grabs?

This is sickening stunt and the media is all over it because they are selling the corporate myth that the economy is improving. Yet why should the economy improve? What has been done to help it to improve? Tax cuts? Will tax cuts fuel our return to prosperity? Why should they? Will part time jobs at McDonald's fuel our return to prosperity? Not bloody likely.

Is the economy improving? No it is not. Can Congress and the President admit that? No, they can't and they won't. It is one of the clearest examples of corporate shilling, making a grand gala out of an annual seasonal event.

This is what is offered to you as a recovery, a bun with very little meat inside, sugar water along with sugar coated french fries and for the children, a toy inside. A happy meal which much like McDonald's food leaves much to be desired.

I who am I? Born at the pinnacle of American prosperity to parents raised during the last great depression. I was the youngest child of the youngest children born almost between the generations and that in fact clouds and obscures who it is that (more...)
