Say it Is not So Another Casino Construction Failure

treegirl- I believe that in one of your prior postings on this topic you said, and I quote- " Throughout Messer's 79- year history, we have been awarded...." - sure sounds like you have an affiliation with Messer's. And snively you really should get someone to read and explain to you just what I wrote and what it means. I knew you were a prick who likes to unleash your cynical and sarcastic remarks on the internet but until now I did not realize that you are an ignoramus.

From a Pulitzer Prize winningLas Vegas Sun series:

Construction workers had been dying at a rate of one every six weeks in the $32 billion building boom on the Las Vegas Strip. But deaths stopped last year after the Las Vegas Sun exposed serious safety flaws on the sites and detailed how lax oversight by safety regulators failed to prevent accidents.[...]

As the Sun pursued the story, the newspaper reported on cozy relationships existing between safety regulators and builders. Angered by the revelations and continuing death toll, workers walked off the job at MGM Mirage's CityCenter, shutting down the largest private commercial development in U.S. history until the contractors agreed to safety improvements.

Twelve workers had died in 18 months. But after the improvements, the deaths stopped. No workers have died since June 2008."

Of course at this point, no one really knows the cause of the latest accident.

I C & P'ed it from the link I provided.

Did anyone else take it the way you did?

IBTD

Altho that may not happen till Ody shows up Monday morning.

Well, treegirl, now maybe you can understand my statement about your apparent affiliation. All I had to go on is what you posted. Apparently you are not affiliated with Messer's, therefore my mistake. For that mistake I apologize. Arshaleign, while presently we don't know the cause of the accident we do know who was doing the work when the accident happened.

I can't believe you,who professes to be such an intelligent and astute fellow,actually didn't realize that that post was an OBVIOUS C&P from something she found on the net.

It was big of you to man up and apologize tho.

You may have apologized for being wrong about me being affiliated with the company...
but this post is not forgivable.

You are an arrogant ass.
(just my opinion)

treegirl - thank you for those kind words. I stand by mine.

We don't need to know the cause; we know who to blame. These dangerous working conditions, like all other injustices in the workplace, can be blamed upon.... ..... (WAIT) .... THE PEOPLE WHO BUY THE STUFF. Shame upon those who attend casinos!!! These injuries were THEIR fault.

mrmarcus12lva- you have stated the Liberal mantra very well. Prepare to be lambasted.
