Default I got a new job offer!
$1,000,000/week salary. $7,000,000 signing bonus. $11,000,000 severance guaranteed if terminated in first 30 days. $70,000,000 severance guaranteed if terminated after 30 days. It's with Acme Asset Management. Doing something akin to being a CEO.

I'm being sarcastic. But I'm going to keep my eyes wide open for similar real claims like this...

This is not political. This is just the result of fear.

What?!?! No full benefits and insurance for life? No yacht? No travel allowance?

Turn it down.

Lot of that going around my town too... waiting for the budget hammer to crunch. Our Space and Rocket Center is even suffering... with so few tourist they are not going to open on Monday and Tuesday for the next few months.

Now about that job offer... you must demand an office with a view and preferably on the Lake . A helicopter would be good too... so you can avoid the toll road.
