They should have done some of those things before they got in this situation and needed a bailout.

Insert your own Robocop/Delta City joke here.

I see the Union dude in the pic...but...nothing about his organization participating in the wage cuts?.

.

OH NO !!!!!

I have heard this one before !!!!!

Any of you know Gene Scott from Los Angeles California ....

He was the 'Pastor of the Kings House Church' and had his own Satellite TV Channel that ran 24/7/365.

He TOO only drew a $1 Dollar a Year Salary - - BUT - - his "Expense Account Was UNLIMITED" - - Now That IS AWESOMELY CUNNING my friends !!!!

No Taxes because the Church owned Everything but Gene WAS the Church, and thereby default, he lived a multi-million dollar lifestyle and paid no Taxes AT ALL since the Church was Tax Exempt.

You should have seen the "Uber Mini-Skirted Babes" he had living in his Multi-Million Dollar Mansion on his Multi-Million Dollar Ranch that Bred, Raised Million Dollar Horses, and Competed in High Brow Horse Shows - - and I ain't talkin' Tobbaky Chawin' Cowboy Rodeo's either - - this was the Cream of the Crop, Million Dollar Horses Prancing around on International TV doing various Dance and Prance Routines.

Gene never turned the Camera Off and it was almost ALWAYS Recording his every move - - do you know how Expensive Movie Film is and how Hollywood Studio's ***** and moan about people like Steven Spielberg Wasting Film shooting a Movie ??? - - Gene just let the Camera Rip all day long - - NOT with Cheap VIDEO Film either, but Celluloid Movie Film.

When I used to install Satellite TV Systems, his Channel on "Satcom 5", was one of the Constant Channels I could count on to be up and running 24 hours a day and this helped me too Tune In the Dish .... Satcom 5 just happened to be the Pivot Satellite where Western Hemisphere Satellites (Birds), flopped over to Eastern Birds .... or rather when you were Tuning in the Satellite Belt, there was a Point where you could either get all the Lower Western Birds lined up perfectly or you could get all the Eastern Birds lined up perfectly and if you did not know how to Tweak it all down to Absolute '0' on all Birds, it was a No Good.

Anyway, I would be on Gene's Sat Channel a lot, since it was the Pivot Bird and I got to watching him and saw this weird Enigma of a Man and I became Curious .... so, when I would get home at night I started bouncing around the Belt and would end up on Gene's Channel and boy this guy was a DOOZY.

I watched him Dancing with at least '7' 20'ish, Mini-Skirted Long Long Legged Babes at his Ranch one night and he stood up and started Dancing with one of them .... now he is nearing 60 years old here and he FALLS off the Edge of the Covered Patio and FACE FIRST INTO a SAND STONE BRICK WALL .... "KAAABOOOOM" and is knocked out for a few seconds.

I just sat there with my jaw on the floor of my house in total disbelief.

And I am thinking, yep I would work for only a $1 Dollar Salary TOO, if all those Legs and an Unlimited Expense account came with it.

The "Moral of the Story IS", DON'T BUY INTO THIS bull**** - - this Clown CEO is NOT going to Really Work for a Single Dollar and he, just like Gene Scott, will find a way around the System to keep making $Millions$.

Steve, do you remember Gene Scott ??? If you do, tell them what I am saying is True .... LOL .... I know they don't Believe me .....

I saw Gene was still on late night about a year ago. His wife was doing a lot of the preaching and singing when I caught it a few times. Tall, dark haired, way younger woman. Haven't checked the dial lately so don't know if it's still on. Will check.

Years ago, he used to sit in that rocking chair smoking big cigars. Entertainment, man.

Must have been re-runs. He died in 05.

Looks like she is on at midnight central time on dish and directv. Pastor Melissa Scott.

I bet they still get a $30 million "bonus."

About 7 years ago we were launching the Outdoor Life Channel in our system. I went to the dish looking at that particular satellite, had the right transponder but I had the wrong ploarity and it had to be an unencrypted channel carrying gay porn.

Anyway, I'm really interested in seeing what the unions do to ease the crisis. I think is the right time to bust 'em.

.

LOL Steve, I forgot about that !!!!!!

You are exactly right ... both Channels on either Side of Gene's Transponder were XXX Rated Movie Channels ....

For those who don't know, depending on the Satellite, all Odd Channels were either Vertical Polarity and Even Channels were Horizontal Polarity or the Reverse as per manufacturer of the Bird and if you Tweaked the Polar-Rotor (Skew'd), you could be on Vertical Channel 12, but be picking up Horizontal Channel 11 or 13.

Paul - - yeah he died from Prostate Cancer - - he fought it for years and told his viewing audience that he was going to let God take care of it - - when he got so sick he was totally down, he went into the hospital and it was too late.

The 'Girl", because that is what she was when he married her, was one of the "Band of Mini-Skirt Beauties" he was dancing with when he fell into the wall.

I don't think his empire is surviving to well under the Little Woman's Leadership and the last I heard was, the Church Members Elected a Board of Trustee's after Gene died (something they could not do as long as Gene was Pastor and he was elected Pastor for Life by Contract) and this Board took back all Church Property and Holdings from Ms. Sweetie.

Since Gene could not have any real evidence of Wealth or Property Ownership, when he died, Ms. Sweet Thang was left out in the Cold. But Gene was supposed to have been Independently Wealthy long before he was the Pastor at The Kings House. I guess he didn't leave the new wife any of the Pie.

The IRS stayed on his tail all the time and as far as last I heard, the Empire had pretty much Crumbled without Gene's Iron Fist to run it.
