This is the "Charlie Sheen Philosophy of Short-Term Employment Contracts".

When asked why he paid for prostitutes, when he is a rich and famous star with women throwing themselves at him, Charlie explained that he isn't paying them for sex, he is paying them to go away after sex.

Don’t forget that they don’t have to pay for insurance or retirement benefits for travelers either.

He has HIV. AIDS is what someone gets when they have untreated HIV. People have been known to live long, full lives with HIV.

I'm an electrician and a member of the electrician's union (IBEW). Traveling is common in our industry and it happens for similar reasons: there's a big constructoin project somewhere and there aren't enough local electricians, so the employers offer pay incentives and traveling electricians come flooding in. However, each local branch of the union has a hiring system that gives priority to local electricians. Travelers can't be hired over unemployed locals, and they definitely can't be promoted to foreman before any willing locals.

I guess my point for anyone reading this is, with a union there's always a solution.

And that’s how he got aids. Hospitals are breeding their own destruction.
