You're responding to me. If you don't like the responses, then simply end the discussion.
You are perfectly welcome to ignore the law at your own perile. I gave my perspective on the situation. You're perfectly welcome to disagree.
A given. Not the point of contention. In my family, the only thing we talked about at the dinner table were the four things you’re not supposed to talk about at the dinner table. Sex, sports, politics and religion. I would never let any of those for topics influence what I think of a person in general. Please keep that in mind. If I hadn’t already judged you as a decent fellow, I would not be engaged in conversation. I apologize if I made you somehow think differently.
Awesome for you
I’m not sure where you’re coming from there because I’m such a terrible communicator, but know that my last remarks were made with the utmost sincerity.Awesome for you
I’m currently in rural Missouri. If I act differently, I would have no friends whatsoeverAwesome for you
My perspective is this - I favor a strong union and worker's rights. I also recognize that our government and our economy have certain dependencies which take priority.
Not my inference. I would never be so presumptuous or condescending. It was a reply to you specifically. You can call me Farmer, if you would be so kind. If take my forward, blunt, lack of public relations skills style as a personal offense or attack, feel free to ignore me. I’ve never made anything personal in a discussion such as this. I am sure I can come off rather shitty. All I’m trying to do is disseminate what I know. I try to stay away from things I don’t know or at least qualify them as such.You're responding to me. If you don't like the responses, then simply end the discussion.
I did not read through any of your long comments previously and I was responding to the OP. Just because you started replying to me doesn't mean I'm required to study up on your previous comments...sorry Sparky.
I can respect that. But I also know for a fact that a set in stone strike date, looming ever closer increases the urgency and openness to negotiation of both parties. My bone of contention is it was removed. That’s not the governments place. GOP is right about one thing even if they’re lying about it, when it comes to their own policies. It’s not the government place to pick winners or losers. On the other hand, fair and equitable labor laws are a prerequisite to a high quality of life society. It is my view that currently, we fall far short policy goal. I would also contend that you were speaking in generalities and every specific incidence has its own specific calories to consider. If there is something I have omitted in forming my opinion about this one, I am open to changing it. Otherwise I stand by my previous statements. The current administration clearly picked management over labor. That’s what corporate oligarchy facilitators do.
The government saw that the majority of unions agreed to the agreement, which gave them leverage to prioritize the economy.
This ^ and they did get some concessions; like a 25% raise over the next few years.
As I said earlier, the acceptance was completely depending on the choices involved. Of course you accept it as opposed to the existing unfair contract. That does not make it legitimate.
I don’t see that as a pertinent issue. I see the hundreds of millions of dollars quarterly profits, anti-trust issues with so few competitors in the market, executive level compensation packages, the time and people put in away from family and friends. Home, in other words. As I just mentioned in a previous reply. The compensation package should be tied to the profit loss statement of the company for every single employee. Top to bottom. Just putting in time is a loser for everyone involved.
You poor man. Your mother obviously didn’t love you…..
No, they’re not.
More explicitly, Senate REPUBLICANS rejected the proposal to give rail workers seven days of paid sick leave. Senate REPUBLICANS.
Yep
Not at all. That’s about name recognition. My question is squarely directed at authority on the subject. Huge difference in. No matter. I’m just a dumb farmer.
That’s bogus AF. They did not sign the bill to make a less than favorable contract to labor the finished package for the length of the agreement. That was solely on the administration. Not to mention that was a fucking poser bullshit vote anyway. Then you goddamn going well it was not gonna have 60 votes in the Senate. They have no politic skills when they could do the country good, but they certainly have political skill to be self-serving morally bankrupt posuers! Even Nancy Pelosi was finally on board with the house ethics reform bill when she finally realize there’s no way in hell is going to happen. Fucking Democrats, man, I swear to God. less political acumen than the GOP constituents. They’re just fucking straight up stupid. Most Dems are just getting fooled. Don’t see what they’re looking at. That’s as bad as saying “the GOP stopped everything we do!” well you know what, unless you bring quality policy, it doesn’t fucking matter. I wanted to kick the motherfuckers in the teeth with every little medical “great accomplishment” they’ve made. A quality #UniversalHealthcare mandate would’ve covered every single one of them and then some. I respect the “fuck you“ straight to your face much more than the bullshit talking out of the fucking sides of their mouth, smiling and professing their hard work for you all the time they have a corporate cock in their throat. I realized, on occasion, I can just be a fucking delight. But that is from the firmly held belief that you, me, the asshole on the corner of the block,
