    @Rolando Everett in full “Man of the People” mode. There was another one along the same line where a pastor recognized a rich deacon for donating for foreign missions and Everett yelled that the money would be better spent fixing up the tenements he owned which were in such bad shape they were a danger to the inhabitants

    How is it rich assholes looked EXACTLY like that 100 years ago, and STILL look exactly like that today???

    Kind of freaky that one looks like Wilford Brimley…

    A couple questions:

    • I’m not sure what a “labor grinder” is. Someone who grinds down laborers?
    • Not sure what “discount everybody’s bills” means. It doesn’t sound like a good thing.

      I’m guessing they mean paycheck by bills?

      So they discount (lower) their employees’ paychecks?

      1. I think you’re right about “labor grinder.”

      2. I think they follow the Trump method of not paying people who bill them for goods or services rendered, or claiming a “discount” and only paying part. Like him, they know the creditors usually can’t afford to take it through court.
