   Steve Jobs also developed cancer, but anything he accomplished was IN SPITE of these handicaps..not BECAUSE OF them !

Drugs and alcohol have no place in the workplace. 
 
Personally, I wish they would drug test people who draw from the gov.   I'm tired of my labor supporting other people's addictions.

 
Agreed Sir. POWDERMAN.

Your talking about Detroit here.  Those people you see getting boozed and doped up during break are the best Detroit has right now.
More interesting to me is the union is pretty quiet on this, last I heard they were suspended not fired.  I would suppose the progressive socialist answer is that we need to rehabilitate them.  No...we have to rehabilitate them.  Poor souls...they need help from our left wing and the union.
Nobody can do that where I work, one time and your out the door.  A whole bunch of people doing that every day as long as they want? Amazing. 
A perfect example of a large city after left wing nuts run it long enough.  This is what is left of the work force in that area.

Steve Jobs lined his own pockets as well. When his fortune took a down turn years  ago the first thing he cut off was charity giving. Old Steve's fortune returned but he never revived his charity work. Maybe he needed it to buy Pot.    Why does the left love one capitalist and hate the rest?

That is a good point I have not tried any illegal drugs either. But the fact is there is enough people doing so that it has changed America for the worst.

Steve jobs smoked some weed and dropped some acid; I think he changed America the world for the better.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
    Help me here guys;
  Did somebody just say that smoking dope and ingesting mind-bending chemicals..makes one a better, more effective person ?

Don't know where you get that idea. I said it has changed America for the worst. On some construction jobs you better watch yourself or you could get hurt by a druggie doing stupit stuff. A welder and I walked off a job when the crane operator was to drunk to operate and almost killed us with a length of 12 pipe were were setting. I saw a Bobcat that was rigged by someone on drugs get dropped 9 floors and land on the hood of a 955 loader. I worked on two jobs where the layout engineers were stoned while working and the building was laid out wrong . One the steel did not fit the anchor points and a retaining wall was wrong. The other had similar problems but the lay out man was caught smoking crack on the job. The county police ststion was next door and they set up a camera and caught the guy on film . I could go on and on . A funny one was a plumber was working with us , he set a water closet 3 times with out knocking out the test plug from the closet flange. Each time he flushed the WC and water run out on the floor . He would clean it up then reset it and flush again ........

  Shootall,
  Sorry, I should have clarified better, I was referring to this statement;
 
   " Steve jobs smoked some weed and dropped some acid; I think he changed America the world for the better".
 
  It does appear the poster is claiming that smoking dope and injesting weird chemicals makes one a better, more effective person.

Well, of course - he helped invent and industry, and the most valuable company in the US (or close to it). Don't you ever... line your pockets?
 

  Why does the left love one capitalist and hate the rest? 

I dunno... I'm the one you quoted, and I don't think I've taken that position. Clarify?

All I know is booze or drugs makes for an unsafe work area. And all the pizz test and safety meetings have not cured the problem.
