Things I wonder about, but never get any answers to.

Over the years I have wondered about many things, not grand mysteries of the world, just things I wanted the answers to by the time I reached this stage of my life. Among them are the simple things, like why can't they make heated roads so the snow won't stick in the winter? Or, why does money turn people into such jack-asses? I understand the seniority system in a place of business (some what), but why do the people get so pissy and grabby when things change? It's not like your going to make any more money, you're just going to get more headaches. Some people manage to show their true colors: as in an "all for me the hell with you" pain in the ass! I wonder why. Friends stab each other in the back in order to make it to the next rung, but it never seems to be enough. Why can't people decide they would rather work together and share? I've been crapped on enough lately and I have a feeling that it's not over yet. By the time everything is settled I may be on my own.
Another thing that I have wondered about isn't really all that complicated, just a thought. It should be a law that all businesses in an area that can experience 90+ temperatures should be required to provide their employees with the following: Water to stay hydrated, ice in case of injuries, air conditioning, and light weight uniforms without screen printing on the back. If these businesses are also located in a area that experiences 32 degrees or below they should be required to provide hot drinks, heat that fills the whole building, and warm weather gear. Why can't employers provide for their employee's creature comforts, they might find that they have better, happier employees.
This last one is heat related, but might be offensive to conservative people. Why is it perfectly acceptable for a man to go without a shirt no matter how offensive his body looks, but a woman must suffer under at least two layers of clothing. Society frowns on women not wearing a bra, but a man with the same size chest can gross everyone out. I just don't get it.
These are just a few of the things that make me wonder.
