    They said they don't think they will have layoffs but they ain't hiring.

    This is just the first, area businesses will be pinched harder soon.

    That's really sad! I'm sure they aren't the only place that relies on the weather being decent for good business.

    Some lady told me the other day that there are parts of Georgia where it's so bad that the water ban states households can only shower once a week??

    ****ing stupid religious fanatics thinking praying actually is going to solve a single ****ing thing.

    Lets pray instead of working, and thinking to come up with a solution...

    "God can make it rain."
    Sure he can you ****ing dolts, now go end yourselfs in an artificial hellfire and brimstone tragedy.
