Growing up, we're taught that it's important to always tell the truth and that we should, further, point out and draw attention to any wrongdoing that we witness in the world around us. 

These points are even beaten into our heads in the US in the form of various folktales about historical United States presidents and other prominent figures doing "the right thing" when the chance was presented for them to do otherwise. Of course, while stories like "Honest Abe and the Six Pennies" serve as great lessons and offer a great idealistic view of the world, you'll be very disappointed when you grow older and discover that most politicians would sooner go to that lady's house to rob the rest of her cash too then make a trip all the way up there just to return six cents.

Similarly, you'll be disappointed to find that people generally don't like having the things they're doing wrong pointed out, especially when those things are strategically financially benefitting them. You'll also come to find that generally there are people with a lot more authority involved behind the scenes who also won't like having these things pointed out and it's far less likely that everyone is going to clap and cheer for you than those stories would have you believe.

This machinist was fired, along with his coconspirators, for exposing the shady president's embezzlement scheme. This, ultimately, also led to the destruction of the company's expensive CNC machine by the remaining unskilled and untrained workers.

Just after I joined, they purchased a very used CNC wood carving machine in bad condition with no idea how to use. After it sat for a while, I took the task of fixing and learning it. After 18months myself, and another member, had rebuilt it and taught ourselves how to use it. The two of us were doing some beautiful work and it was sta

    Enter a thief of a President with his minions. They refused to show the financials and closed all committee meetings, with no minutes, among other illegal moves. A copy of the books was left in the open, photographed then given to a very good accountant. Very creative books and $20,000.00 out. In short myself and several members were illegally thrown out for finding this out. The other CNC operator included. This left them with no operators for the CNC and a comment from the, now new, puppet pre

    it. I still have good friends there who have on video, the idiots had not reset an emergency stop. Reset it manually and it would run. Recently told they were looking at getting rid of it so I made some bets with old and existing members that they would rather destroy it rather than be embarrassed if it worked again. I put the word out it was for sale. The shop I am now at made a good offer and several other good offers were made, even as far sabotaging confirmed,

    away as Adelaide, and the members wanted to sell to my shop. Their majority say was ignored and the CNC is now scrap, to make sure I didn't get it. I made $400.00 on bets. If anybody can use it that makes the TMS committee nobody. $11,000.00 out of pocket and in financial trouble. All for the lack of brains, arrogance, thieves and being an Oligarchy.

They could have saved them, but chose not to. 224 Reply Share ●●●
