What a joke! I heard several so called big-wigs on the radio giving the working folks this wonderful advice: Just stay home and rest in case you come down with flu symptoms.

Are they kidding? There has been up to now no law where employers have to give sick days to their employees, not even a single day. We must be the only country in the so called developed world to get away with this abusive behavior.

A lot of workers do not have the luxury to stay home for one simple season: “They cannot afford it.” Just knowing this should make anybody sick. It sure does me.
